Bursting with lush; vibrant photographs; Passage to Israel is a timeless tribute to one of the worldrsquo;s most soulful; resolute; and newsworthy countries. Divided into sections such as Soul; Spirit; Awe; Quiet; and Unity; the stunning images featured inside capture Israelrsquo;s glorious landscapes; its city life; its culture; and its people. From an enchanting sunset over the Dead Sea to the lively city life of Tel Aviv; from colorful marketeers to families in prayer at the Western Wall; this incredible volume moves full-steam ahead past the typical postcard images of the country to showcase the character of its people and the sanctity of the land theyrsquo;re so resolute in preserving. Contributors to Passage to Israel include twenty-five iconic and groundbreaking photographers; acclaimed artists such as Markus Gebauer and Amit Geron; and more than 150 of their images are featured inside. As a precursor to the images is an enlightening introduction by the author; a renowned cultural critic and curator; that provides a fascinating frame for the photographs to come.Throughout; explanatory captions are featured side-by-side with the images.For a country roughly the size of New Jersey and only formally declared a state in 1948; not too long ago; Israel is easily the worldrsquo;s most controversial land; one thatrsquo;s withstood regular suicide bombing; violent attacks; and political pressure. Yet its people refuse to be silenced; they will protect their borders and they will continue to persevere.For those whorsquo;ve been to Israel and those whorsquo;ve yet to make the trip there; here; at last; is a truly immersive experience; an inspiring visual connection to a remarkable; but faraway land

ART BOOKS = ADS...SHOW Us Designs BEFORE We Buy #975...By classicsGGmaArt Books = Ads for the print version of their coloring books.Nothing to download for Kindle users (see below)...what good are they? None.Link takes you to the Speedy Publishing sign up page so you can be put on the newsletter mailing list. When I tried to sign up got message "Mailing List Not Active"...meaning no free coloring book. Even if you had gotten to the download page there would be no guarantee of getting this particular coloring book. They have several you can choose from...at least they used to. Have no idea whats there now.Designs are very simple line drawings of butterflies aimed towards children. maybe teens and adults who want plain and very easy. Not impressed.When we buy coloring books in stores we can look inside to see if we like any designs and check for designs we already have.

I ran across this when looking for adult coloring books. With it being a kindle book it has a download link in it so I can print out the hard copies to color. I love all of the details to color. It will keep me busy for hours on end.
