- Very detailed with lots of illustrationsI thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is very detailed and contains many illustrations. It fascinates me to sit back and think about all the people and details of Jewish history that have played out over many thousands of years. User Review: - GreatWhen given as a gift, this product was really loved- so much that we bought another one for ourselves. User Review: - This atlas succeeds beautifullyFew of the world's peoples can boast of a history as long and as varied as that of the Jews, or one encompassing such a range of achievements and tragedy. It spans more than three millennia and has touched most parts of the globe. This text sets forth this history graphically-in nearly a thousand detailed and accurate maps, brilliantly reproduced drawings, photographs, and paintings; plus chronologies and commentaries by dozens of leading experts. The result is a triumph of the bookmaking art-a comprehensive and dependable reference work. Beyond the strictly historical, the Atlas also deals with many fascinating and important aspects of jewish culture-languages, literature, art, and music. User Review: - a great bar mitzvah giftgreat information, nicely displayed. i wish i got one for my bar-mitzvah! User Review: - Excellent Overview of History and CultureProfessor Barnavi has done a great service both to Judaism and any students who are inclined to further their understanding of it. As a Christian proponent of this ancient faith upon which our own is based, I have found it an invaluable resource in my ecumenical studies involving history and development of Ancient and Modern Jewry and the vast knowledge accumulated over the thousands of years of its existance. It is a concise coverage of every age of its progression, along with a magnificent garnish of photographs and illustations which bring the entire process to life. I highly reccomend this book.
