A lavishly illustrated and meticulously guided excursion through the mapping of historic Palestine from the earliest record through the early twentieth century. Palestine is as much a region of the earth as it is a place in the psyche of those who mapped it. Author Thomas Suarez is uniquely qualified to address the mapping of this region 'from the river to the sea,' as he is both an authority on the history of cartography and has written extensively on Palestine. Lavishly illustrated, Palestine Mapped guides the reader through the Greek and Roman concepts of Palestine, Islamic mapping, and the European 'Holy Land' mapping that has dominated for half a millennium. But Suarez makes that dominant view part of the story, rather than the 'lens' through which he observes it, setting the book starkly apart from all others on the mapping of the region.
