Early spring booklist: This Is Israel
To his series on famous cities of the world this Czech artist adds a book about a larger area, which, however, because of its unusual character, fits appropriately into the sequence. Covering the ancient and the modern in the same starling juxtaposition as that which the visitor finds, both text and pictures -- his delightful full-color impressions -- convey a vivid sense of scene and life, with occasional flashes of the humor that distinguishes this lively set of books.
