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.
