| Summary: | Spanning ten millennia from the earliest prehistory to the Arab conquest, Negev (classical archaeology, Hebrew U.) and Gibson, a field archaeologist working in Israel and Palestine, present a reference to the ancient land of the Bible, combining scientific discovery with literary and religious tradition to illuminate human culture. The cross-references are sparse, and there is no index. A brief glossary does not indicate pronunciation. The superb monochrome illustrations are not lavish, but well placed and informative. Four earlier editions were published by The Jerusalem Publishing House between 1972 and 1990. c. Book News Inc. |
