It is situated in the italian periphery; in the Umbro-Marchigian Apennine Mountains; in the heart of a natural park; and away from major communication routes. All this has contributed to the preservation of values of the rural life that are still almost intact to date and a visitor today can relive those values as an authentic experience. Castelluccio di Norcia is not a landscape; it is the landscape: monumental; breathtaking; and capable of expressing the esthetics of the land. A landscape that moves and changes according to the rhythm of the seasons.Contenuti:116 pagine; 109 immagini fotografiche; testi in italiano e inglese.Introduzione1.Autunno2.Inverno3.Primavera4.EstateContents:178 pages; 135 photos; texts in Italian and English language.Introduction1.Autumn2.Winter3.Spring4.Summer

An Exquisite Love Letter and View into the Land of IsraelBy LeilahFrom the Dedication; Forward and Introduction to the final exquisite photo; this book is a stunningly beautiful view of the land of Israel and its people. I ordered the book off ; it arrived in 2 days and after looking at its breathtaking beauty; I immediately ordered a copy for my Torah teacher who was born in Jerusalem. She was so moved by the book and used it that night in her teaching about Israels borders as outlined in Genesis 15. As you leaf through the pages; you will see with your own eyes why the author cited the Talmud and wrote in her introduction; "Ten measures of beauty descended upon the world; nine were taken by Jerusalem". It belongs on the coffee table of every Jew; Christian and other supporters of Israel; and unlike most books of its kind; you will look at it again and again. Do yourself a favor and buy several copies to keep on hand as gifts. You will make people very happy!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Perfect gift for anyone with an interest in IsraelBy Harold HenkelHow is it that; year after year; the UN ldquo;World Happiness Reportrdquo; ranks Israel as one of the worldrsquo;s happiest nations? Israel; a country with compulsory military service; enemies bent on its destruction; and three national days of mourning. Readers looking for an answer to this paradox will do no better than to acquire a copy of Karen Lehrman Blochrsquo;s tour through the astonishing varieties of nature; life; creativity; and faith that define Israel. In her acknowledgments; Bloch writes that inspiration for the book came not only from lovers of Israel (Jewish; Christian; and Muslim) but from the lies and distortions that form part of the daily output in most of the global media. She also reveals a powerful idea at the bookrsquo;s heart: ldquo;Israel is indeed a mirror to onersquo;s soul. Those who see the beauty; who stand up for the truth; who understand the meaning; will never regret where they stood in this moment of history; when silence is not an option.rdquo;1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I cant recommend this artfully curated study of diversity in actionBy CustomerAs a life-long student of photography; I was taken by this books ability to capture the essence of Israel: A country rich in cultural vibrancy and colorful landscapes. I cant recommend highly enough this artfully curated study of diversity in action. The Israeli people and her vivid topography makes for compelling subject matter. It is a high quality visual collection of prints that truly lifts the spirit and transports the soul.
