About this Item

328 Seiten, OPpbd., OU., 23 x 15 cm. Mit einigen Abbildungen und Kartenskizzen. - "This volume deals with the transformation of one of the world's oldest port cities - Jaffa, from a small, walled settlement, to one of the major harbors on the eastern coast of the Mediterrenean. The period between the Napoleonic siege and the First World War (1799-1914) was amnong the most eventful in Palestine's history, and one in which Jaffa and Tel Aviv played a central role. The growth of Jaffa and Tel Aviv into metropolitan Tel Aviv is modern Israel's most dramatic urban-geographical process. In part, the seeds of this change were sown as early as a century ago. Professor Kark, adopting an inductive perspective, has undertaken an historical and geographical reconstruction of the city, as it was, based on documentary sources and field observations" (Klappentext). - In englischer Sprache. - Der Schutzumschlag minimal angerändert; gutes Exemplar.
