Description: This volume assembles leading experts in policy, history, and activism to address Israel's continuing environmental transformation from the biblical era through its future aspirations, with a particular focus on the past one hundred and fifty years.
Review Quotes: This is a state-of-the-art survey of environmental history in Israel, showing how politics, law, and international relations are related to nature in the land of Israel. The authors are uniquely qualified and bring new, up to date information from excellent sources. They have contrasting views, but all are thought-provoking. There is no other collection on this subject that is so inclusive and of such quality. It will be a classic.-- "J. Donald Hughes, University of Denver"
