About the Author:
Review:
Aaron Kellerman is Professor of Geography at the University of Haifa, Israel.
“The study covers important new ground and provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of land settlement patterns since the nineteenth century. Kellerman draws on a wide range of studies in Hebrew ― from statistical to literary ― to explain the development of urban, suburban, and rural settlements.” ― Donna Robinson Divine, Smith College
“I like the manner in which the author integrates the concepts of ‘society’ and ‘territory’ in a unique way, seeing them as almost organically related rather than as completely separate entities. This volume deals with questions and concepts which are absolutely central to the State of Israel, and thus will come to be regarded as an important work of scholarship in the future.” ― Gregory S. Mahler, University of Mississippi
