Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Account of the Countries: Adjoining the Lake of Tiberias, the Jordan, and the Dead Sea It has been much the custom of late to publish travels through remote parts of the world; and the more unknown and unfrequented the country described, the more eagerness has been manifested by the public to read and be informed: It is not therefore deemed necessary to apologise for offering the following pages to the English public, since, strange though it be, few countries are so completely unknown to all Europeans, as those parts of the land of Judea which have been visited by Mr. Seetzen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jordan and the Dead Sea In passing through the Ghor, from the Lake of Tiberias to the Dead Sea, we have been dependent on lieutenant Lynch, of the Ame rican navy. The hitherto unnavigated waters of the Jordan have been placed before us in an altogether new and singular light by Ame rican enterprise. In regard to the Dead Sea, our obligations are nearly equal to lieutenant Lynch, and his more learned and honoured countryman, Dr. Robinson. To the latter of these gentlemen must still be awarded the praise of having done more than any other to throw light on the scenes of Scripture History. The volume is likewise much indebted to the invaluable labours of our countrymen, Wilson, Kitto, and others. It will be found, it is hoped, to contain the most recent and im portant contributions to a correct knowledge of a region, in which Christians can never cease to feel a deep and lively interest.

Download or read book Jericho written by Robert Ruby and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a place both mythic and all too real, a place thought to be the site of one of our oldest human settlements and known to be a center of ancient cultures and annihilating conflicts. It sits at the bottom of a malarial valley, the lowest place on the surfact of the earth--"the overheated, earthen basement of the world," as Robert Ruby describes it. And yet, long before the world's modern religions began scrapping over its bones, Jericho was home to waves of colonization and floods of destruction. Fought over by the succeeding epochs of ancestors, the place we call Jericho is as old as the first remnants dated at 9,000 B.C.--and as current as the daily headlines. In this unorthodox biography of the first eleven thousand years in the life of a legend, Robert Ruby takes us back through time to those early settlements, then forward to the often crude but ultimately successful latter-day attempts to locate Jericho, to unearth and map and catalog its history. Beginning with the geography of place, he weaves together his own intimate knowledge of modern-day Jericho with stories of the lives and work of those explorers and archaeologists of the past whose courage often bordered on madness and whose dedication sometimes seemed the purest kind of human folly. Soldiers, scholars, engineers, adventurers--dilettantes and professionals alike, they were all dreamers drawn to this parched and dusty spot where so much of human history took place. Matching biblical accounts to araeological evidence, sifting myth from science, phantoms from reality, Robert Ruby teases out the complex strata of the past, helping us to make sense of what exists today. With the flair of a novelist and the enthusiasm of an amateur archaeologist, he offers a tale that is part detection, part epic adventure. Above all, he gives us a work of great literary panache: witty, fact-filled, and uterly, subversively compelling.
Download or read book Slavery Agriculture and Malaria in the Arabian Peninsula written by Benjamin Reilly and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Slavery, Agriculture, and Malaria in the Arabian Peninsula, Benjamin Reilly illuminates a previously unstudied phenomenon: the large-scale employment of people of African ancestry as slaves in agricultural oases within the Arabian Peninsula. The key to understanding this unusual system, Reilly argues, is the prevalence of malaria within Arabian Peninsula oases and drainage basins, which rendered agricultural lands in Arabia extremely unhealthy for people without genetic or acquired resistance to malarial fevers. In this way, Arabian slave agriculture had unexpected similarities to slavery as practiced in the Caribbean and Brazil. This book synthesizes for the first time a body of historical and ethnographic data about slave-based agriculture in the Arabian Peninsula. Reilly uses an innovative methodology to analyze the limited historical record and a multidisciplinary approach to complicate our understandings of the nature of work in an area that is popularly thought of solely as desert. This work makes significant contributions both to the global literature on slavery and to the environmental history of the Middle East—an area that has thus far received little attention from scholars.

Download or read book The Dead Sea and the Jordan River written by Barbara Kreiger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries travelers have been drawn to the stunning and mysterious Dead Sea and Jordan River, a region which is unlike any other on earth in its religious and historical significance. In this exceptionally engaging and readable book, Barbara Kreiger chronicles the natural and human history of these storied bodies of water, drawing on accounts by travelers, pilgrims, and explorers from ancient times to the present. She conveys the blend of spiritual, touristic, and scientific motivations that have driven exploration and describes the modern exploitation of the lake and the surrounding area through mineral extraction and agriculture. Today, both lake and river are in crisis, and stewardship of these water resources is bound up with political conflicts in the region. The Dead Sea and the Jordan River combines history, literature, travelogue, and natural history in a way that makes it hard to put down.
