Item description from seller

An academic study which, despite its abstruse title, constitutes a detailed discussion of Palestine's geological formations, soils and minerals, bodies of water, and climate. The author conducted fieldwork in the region in 1925, and included are 25 of the several hundred photographs he took during his journey. We have traced only one other copy (NYU). The images capture geographical features (such as the Judean wilderness, the River Jordan, and the Sea of Tiberius), ethnographic scenes, including a Jerusalem street and the process of winnowing grain, and local inhabitants, including a shepherd, a water-carrier, and children in clothing "suited for a subtropical region where long hot summers prevail". Several of these appear in a lengthy section on human adaptations to the region's physical geography and climate. Quarto. With 25 laid-down gelatin silver photographs (approx. 85 x 110 mm), blueprint cross-section of southern Palestine through Bethlehem, 8 blueprint charts and graphs, 3 photostat maps of Sinai and the Levant (1 folding), manuscript diagrams on p. 29, sketch map on p. 113, occasional manuscript annotations. Text in carbon-copy typescript. Original purple cloth, spine lettered in gilt, decorative endpapers. Spine sunned, most photographs rather yellowed, light toning and creasing internally: very good.…
