The geographic heart and soul of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, the Holy Land has immense significance for the millions of visitors it has attracted since as early as the fifth century BC. Now in an exciting new edition, this popular handbook once again offers tourists an indispensable, illustrated guide to over 200 of the most important archeological and religious sites in the City of Jerusalem and the surrounding area.
Fully updated with all the latest information, The Holy Land presupposes little knowledge of history or archaeology, giving clear directions on how to find sites and monuments of interest--both well-known locations and those less familiar. With entries including the Damascus Gate, the Via Dolorosa, Mount Sion, the Dead Sea, Hebron, and Jericho, this indispensable book includes detailed maps, plans, and illustrations that further illuminate these spectacular locales. Each entry explains the history and topography of a site as well as its function and significance. In his introduction, Father Jerome Murphy-O'Connor provides a brief historical outline of the Holy Land, from the Stone Age to the Modern Period, and lists sites accordingly. The Fifth Edition includes new information on the crucial recent developments at the Holy Sepulchre and on six completely new sites, including a Middle Bronze Age water system in Jerusalem and what may be the original Pool of Siloam.
A marvelous Baedeker to both the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, brimming with practical advice and featuring more than 150 high quality site plans, maps, diagrams, and photographs, this book provides the ultimate visitor's guide to one of the richest archaeological regions in the world.

Two words: Double. Zipper.
Size: Small, Color: Purple
Great backpack for transitioning out of diaper bag but not yet ready to fling caution to the wind and leave the house with nothing. The real win on this is the double zipper. Zipping one way only is the worrrrst, and you don’t have to with this. So if you end up getting another one, that’s fine, but do yourself a favor and confirm the double zipper.

Comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Organic Cotton 5 Black Pack
Waist band and band around thighs are 4/5 because theyre almost nonexistent. That's the kind of underwear/shorts I feel most comfortable in. The shorts are pretty breathable and the only thing I disliked was how short it was, but thats on me. True to size. It wasnt a loose fit but it wasnt super tight.

perfect
I chose a size Large, which I normally wear in women's underwear. I am 5'4" and 158 lbs. The fit was perfect. They stayed put and didn't ride up. The material is soft. Machine wash and dry well. No complaints to speak of.
