Sacred Landscape - The Buried History of the Holy Land Since 1948

Explains how an Arab landscape, physical and human, was transformed into an Israeli, Jewish state. This book discusses the process by which Hebrew nomenclature replaced the Arabic names of more than 9,000 natural features, villages, and ruins in Eretz Israel/Palestine (his name for the Holy Land, thereby defining it as a land of Jews and Arabs).
