The Dead Sea

“This is a fascinating and highly readable account of the Dead Sea from remote geological ages to the present. Arielli demonstrates the importance of the Dead Sea throughout history, ending with the current environmental and political crisis created by the dramatic drop in its water level.”—Jodi Magness, author of Jerusalem through the Ages
 

“Arielli has written a magisterial survey of one of the most fascinating regions on the planet, exhaustively researched and clearly expressed. The Dead Sea is an eloquent call to arms to conserve this unique but vanishing geological feature before it is too late.”—James Fergusson, author of In Search of the River Jordan
 

“The demise of the Dead Sea is a man-made disaster that requires cooperation to reverse. Arielli's extensive research on the Dead Sea's religious, environmental, economic and conflict dimensions is a must read for anyone interested in joining the effort to save this natural wonder.”—Gidon Bromberg, Israel Director, EcoPeace Middle East
