Historical Atlas of the Holy Lands

Historical Atlas of the Holy Lands is an objective account of the geographical, social, and political environment of the Holy Lands, the crossroad of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Few places in the world have had a more tumultuous history. The region's present-day conflicts are familiar new items, but equally world-shaping events took place there thousands of years ago.
Historical Atlas of the Holy Lands investigates the background of the Bible, not only re-telling the classic stories, but exploring the latest archaeological evidence to provide a thoroughly up-to-date account. Striking color photography and clear maps guide the reader through Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Italy, and places in between in exploration of their early history.

Karen Farrington is a writer and former journalist who worked for several years at London's Old Bailey, England's most famous criminal court. She has contributed to numerous publications on military history, and her most recent works include books on assassinations, religion, crime and punishment, and the supernatural
