National Geographic the Holy Land [Paperback] unknown author

National Geographic?s Holy Land Wall Map Gloss Ready-to-Hang provides a fascinating in-depth look at the faiths, peoples, and politics that have shaped this historic region. This detailed political map is overlaid with facts about significant religious sites. Information on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as historical periods from the Stone and Bronze ages to the Islamic period through 1917, makes this as much an educational tool as an attractive work of cartographic art. Cities, bodies of water, geographical features, ruins, Israeli settlements, and more are noted, as are transportation infrastructure such as highways, roads, railroads, canals, and airports. Coverage includes Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel.

Gloss Lamination features premium optically clear film, which provides a high shine for dramatic color presentation. The gloss laminated map is a convenient and useful at-a-glance reference ready for wet-erase or alcohol-erase markers, sticker dots or arrows, or graphic tape.

Ready-to-Hang maps have rails at the top and the bottom to keep the map flat against the wall with two loops on the top rail for easy hanging. A package of wall hooks and nails completes the set.
