@text: This unique Atlas traces the history of Jerusalem from
biblical times to the present day. Each map is illustrated by a
facing page of prints or photographs, to give a complete pictorial
and cartographic overview of this fascinating city of the Middle
East. Coverage begins in ancient times, showing the impact of the
Jews, Christians, Muslims, Romans and Crusaders on the development
of this holy city. Special emphasis is placed on the last hundred
and fifty years, during which Jerusalem grew from a remote and
impoverished town of the Ottoman Empire to a flourishing capital
city. Up-to-date maps and figures show the recent expansion of
suburbs and settlements, the Wall and new urban and political
developments. An extensive bibliography provides a rich source of
information on further reading.
