You will enjoy the Aerial Atlas of the Holy Land by John Bowker. It is in no way exhaustive, nor would I choose what he did to highlight in the same number of pages, but it is great for what it chooses to cover. I really enjoy its pictures and the maps are sufficient. It is a fun addition to the atlas section of your library.
This book is breathtaking in scope and beauty. I long to go to the Holy Land some day but until then this book is like having your own little flyover of the Holy Land. The text is great too and very indepth. The book is a work of art!
This atlas has open a new avenue of knowledge and understanding of the land...I love it. Thank you so much!
Beautiful book.
