It has long been my custom to
send out lists of good things of the year with my Christmas cards. I thought it might be
nice to set this out one by one in my weblog. They are not in any particular order. Here
is the eleventh.
11. Meir Ben-Dov,
Historical Atlas of Jerusalem
(2002) $50.00. A great way to get an overview of the prehistory and
history of Israel, this atlas is good either for browsing or for reading straight
through. Good photos and text as well as maps.
One nice thing about this approach is that it covers the little-known parts of history,
not just the famous parts. Thus, this atlas tells of the Jerusalem under the Jebusites
and the Fatimids as well as under Herod and the Ottomans.
