Israel has one of the most extensive and highly developed hiking
trail systems of any country in the world. Millions of hikers use
the trails every year during holiday breaks, on mandatory school
trips, and for recreational hikes. Walking the Land offers the
first scholarly exploration of this unique trail system. Featuring
more than ten thousand kilometers of trails, marked with hundreds
of thousands of colored blazes, the trail system crisscrosses
Israeli-controlled territory, from the country's farthest borders
to its densest metropolitan areas. The thousand-kilometer Israel
National Trail crosses the country from north to south. Hiking,
trails, and the ubiquitous three-striped trail blazes appear
everywhere in Israeli popular culture; they are the subjects of
news articles, radio programs, television shows, best-selling
novels, government debates, and even national security speeches.
Yet the trail system is almost completely unknown to the millions
of foreign tourists who visit every year and has been largely
unstudied by scholars of Israel. Walking the Land explores the many
ways that Israel's hiking trails are significant to its history,
national identity, and conservation efforts.

This edited book is based on the papers accepted for presentation
during the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of
Geosciences (CAJG-2), Tunisia, in 2019. Major subjects treated in
the book include geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry.
The book presents an updated unique view in conjugating field
studies and modeling to better quantify the process-product
binomial unusual in geosciences. In the geomorphology section, 24
papers deal with topics related to fault slip and incision rates,
soil science, landslides and debris flows, coastal processes, and
geoarcheology, and geoheritage. Under the sedimentology section, 34
papers including stratigraphy, and environmental, tectonic, and
diagenetic processes, together with evolutionary, biostratigraphic,
and paleo-environmental significance of paleontology are presented.
Additionally, this section also contains papers on marine
geosciences, from molecular proxies related to climate to
geophysical surveys. Last but not least, the third section on
geochemistry is composed of 26 papers that are focused on
sedimentary geochemistry and mineralogical characterization,
magmatic and metamorphic processes and products, and the origin and
exploration of mineral deposits. This book resumes the current
situation related to the abovementioned topics mainly in the
Mediterranean realm. The volume book is of interest to all
researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of
geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry, as well as those
engaged in environmental geosciences, soil science, stratigraphy
and paleontology, geoarcheology and geoheritage, marine
geosciences, petrology, metallogenesis, and mineral deposits.
