With humor and chutzpah, Scott Korb conures daily life in the Holy Land in this short, wittily annotated history. With chapters in money, home, food, hygeine, religion, war and death, the book conludes with a piercing account of Korb's travels from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. He argues that from "simple desires to stay clean and well groomed to our most complicated fears about death and dying," there is nothing deeply and essentially different between who we are now and who we were then.
