NO OF PAGES: 224 SUB CAT I: Reference SUB CAT II: Middle East SUB CAT III: History DESCRIPTION: This visual overview of Jewish history is a successful blend of beautiful cartography, arresting illustrations, and informative text covering the entire range of the Jewish historical experience from patriarchal times to the present. The copious, minutely detailed maps were researched by expert British historian Gilbert. The biblical period, the Diaspora, contemporary Israel, and modern Jewry are amply covered. Artistic and cultural developments are treated as well as political and social events. This beautiful volume supersedes Gilbert's earlier work Jewish History Atlas (Macmillan, 1976. rev. ed.), which only takes readers up to the Israeli-Egyptian war of 1973. It's also much broader in scope than Evyatar Friesel's excellent Atlas of Modern Jewish History ( LJ 1/91), which only covers the 17th century to the present.NOTES: Donated by Sid Kase. SUBTITLE: 4000 Years of History Heh, a book about Jews written by someone with the last name of 'Bacon.' Heh. Heehee. Makes me want to have a BLT on a bagel, it does. I must need sleep, because a Bacon-Jewish history book should not be that amusing to me. Sorry, Ms. Bacon for giggling at your name. The book has pretty maps and has a good sense of continuity. The first parts of it might offend those who seem to think that the world is 6,000 years old, but most people would enjoy this book. Unlike my accounting text, it would not make a good panini press. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"... Ultimate visual survey of Jewish history from the emergence of the Jews in ancient Palestine right up to the present day ... Every facet of Jewish life is explored, with authoritative coverage of such crucial topics as the great diasporas, the flowering of Yiddish culture in Europe, the pogroms and persecutions -- from the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 to the tragic years of the Holocaust -- the rebirth of Zionism in the 19th century, the foundation of modern Israel, highlights of the Arab-Israeli conflict including the invasion of Lebanon, and the way of life of Jews inside and outside their homeland in the world of today. It demonstrates the key role that migration -- whether forced or voluntary -- has played in Jewish history and shows how the story of the Jews has been and continues to be a key factor in the development of Western civilization as a whole." -- Inside front cover.
