Найти книгу: "The Dead Sea and the Jordan River"

<P>For centuries travelers have been drawn to the stunning and mysterious Dead Sea and Jordan River, a region which is unlike any other on earth in its religious and historical significance. In this exceptionally engaging and readable book, Barbara Kreiger chronicles the natural and human history of these storied bodies of water, drawing on accounts by travelers, pilgrims, and explorers from ancient times to the present. She conveys the blend of spiritual, touristic, and scientific motivations that have driven exploration and describes the modern exploitation of the lake and the surrounding area through mineral extraction and agriculture. Today, both lake and river are in crisis, and stewardship of these water resources is bound up with political conflicts in the region. The Dead Sea and the Jordan River combines history, literature, travelogue, and natural history in a way that makes it hard to put down.</P>

Kui Jordan uhel sombusel sugishommikul sammud kooli poole seab, pole tal orna aimugi, et ta lihtne ja muretu elu on muutumas kaoseks. Koigi lemmikust saab korraga naerualune, kes satub jarjest veidramate sundmuste keerisesse. Jordanil tuleb segadusest hoolimata hakkama saada oma huperaktiivse oe Berniike, tema ule irvitavate soprade, teda seletamatul pohjusel haletseva ema Kirsipiia, muutliku meelega kallima ja painajalike nagemustega, mis jalitavad teda koikjal. Need viivad noormehe pikapeale moistmiseni, et temaga on midagi isearalikku lahti. Sundmused votavad uha kummalisemaid ja kohati lausa eluohtlikke poordeid, mille pohjustele jalile joudmine mojub lopuks kulma dusina. „Jordan“ on Kiiri Saare eelmise romaani „Ruubeni liblikad: Kirsipiia“ (2012) motteline jarg.
