The Lord Is Our Shepherd
The Lord Is Our Shepherd was written from the perspective of the famed photographer Eric Matson, who over many years watched shepherds dressed and overseeing their flocks just as they did during Bible Times. During many years of residence in the Holy Land (1896-1946), Eric Matson learned the customs and habits of shepherds and their flocks. His photographic knowledge gave him the ability to capture the Bible Lands as they appeared during the Bible Times. Because of his unique talent, he was recognized as the foremost Bible Land photographer of that era. Some of the earliest methods of photography were applied to produce the photographs in this book. Since color photography was a perfection y...
Photography and Making Bedouin Histories in the Naqab, 1906-2013
Introducing a novel anthropological study of photography in the Middle East, Emilie Le Febvre takes us to the Naqab Desert where Bedouin use photographs to make, and respond to, their own histories. She argues Bedouin presentations of the past are selective but increasingly reliant on archival documents such as photographs which spokespersons treat as evidence of their local histories amid escalating tensions in Israel. These practices shape Bedouin visual historicity, that is the diverse ways people produce their pasts in the present with images. This book charts these processes through the afterlives of six photographs (c. 1906–2013) as they circulate between the Naqab’s entangled visu...
Jerusalem in the Second World War
This book is the first to present the unique story of the city of Jerusalem during the events of the Second World War and how it played a unique role in both the military and civilian aspects of the war. Whilst Jerusalem is usually known for topics such as religion, archaeology, or the politics of the Israeli–Arab conflict, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of this exceptional and temporary situation in Jerusalem, offering a perspective that is different from the usual political-strategic-military analysis. Although battles were raging in the nearby countries of Syria and Lebanon, and the war in Egypt and the Western Desert, the people who came to Jerusalem, as well as those who li...
Aswo!
The books that have been written about "Lean Enterprise" would constitute an imposing library by themselves, but, a few very important aspects seem to have gone unexplored, and are "conspicuous by their absence" once the "journey towards Lean" has begun. To fill these gaps, Eric Matson is writing the "Schmidt-Creek Paddler's Guidebook Series" which will address these issues, and the first, "ASWO!" or "Ah, Shucks, We're Out!" examines the often naughty question of how to plan and manage inventories (of all sorts) in a "Lean-Enterprise" environment.
Eight Years Wandering In The High Mountains Of Sinai Peninsula: A Tale Of Two Maps
This book is the first complete geo-based account about the High Mountains of Sinai Peninsula. A series of seventeen expeditions (Phase I: 2000-2008) were conducted to study the geography and human occupation development, providing exclusive highly detailed maps. Between 2010 and 2013 (Phase II), the study has undergone an extensive analysis/modeling process, supervised and sponsored by IMT Institute for Advanced Studies; scientifically collaborating with the EURAC - European Research Academy, towards a global perspective. It is a multidisciplinary geographical account which focuses on a local Bedouin community which inhabits a transitional mountain area of a rich and complex context, reflecting the socioeconomic and geopolitical paradoxes of the Middle East, the decade prior the revolutions of the Arab Spring. It presents a complete image for the local aspects in a keystone Arab state; a state of a significant share: 'the Egyptian National Reforms Revolution of January 25, 2011 CE'.
Touring Swedish America
With over 1.3 million Swedish Americans in residence, it is no surprise that the United States has a wealth of landmarks that pay homage to the Swedish people and culture. Touring Swedish America details the locations, histories, and stories behind more than 1,000 such places, including the charming Holy Trinity Church, built in stone and brick in Wilmington, Delaware; the rustic S. M. Swenson log cabin in Austin, Texas; the water tower in the form of a rosemaled coffee cup in Stanton, Iowa; and actress Ann-Margaret's handprints outside the Mann Chinese Theater in West Hollywood, California. Published in conjunction with the Swedish Council of America, Touring Swedish America is the comprehensive guide to historic towns, homes, and churches erected during the mass Swedish migration beginning in 1840s, as well as the art, architecture, schools, hospitals, businesses, museums, and gardens still in use today. Organized by state and featuring easy-to-use appendixes that outline sites on the National Register of Historic Places, this comprehensive guide with handy regional maps is the perfect tool for all travelers on the hunt for slices of their Swedish past.

Armageddon
Almost a century after the Australian Light Horse fought a series of epic and bloody battles against the Turkish Army across the deserts of the Middle East, Paul Daley and Mike Bowers retrace the steps of the men and boys who fought there. From enemy trenches where they charged the Turks on horseback, to narrow mountain passes where, exhausted, they slept in their saddles in retreat, Paul and Mike visit the hostile and lonely places where soldiers lost and buried their mates. Through battlefields still littered with shrapnel, bullet casings and even the odd human bone, they reflect on how the turbulent Middle East politics of the present collides with the past. Illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs, their story is part travelogue, part reportage and part history. Evocative, sometimes funny, sad and disturbing, Armageddon is two men on a fading Anzac trail.
