À propos de l'auteur

Haim Goren is Professor Emeritus of Historical Geography at Tel-Hai College, Upper Galilee, Israel. His fields of research are historical geography of Palestine / Eretz Israel and the Near East in the 19th century up until World War I. He recently published a narrative based upon research of archival letters and contemporary and modern studies, titled 'Edward Robinson, Eli Smith and the Cartography of Berghaus and Kiepert', in Mapping the Holy Land : The Origins of Cartography in Palestine (with Jutta Faehndrich and Bruno Schelhaas, London, 217). The current book is, in many ways, a continuation of this study.
