Download or read book The Survey of Palestine Under the British Mandate, 1920-1948 written by Dov Gavish and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-01-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a historical study of the survey and mapping system of Palestine under the British Mandate. It traces the background and the reasoning behind the establishment of the survey programme, examines the foundations upon which the system was based, and strives to understand the motivation of those who implemented it. This study shows that the roots of the modern survey system of Palestine are to be sought in the Balfour Declaration and its implications regarding land in Palestine. The land issue was at the core of the mapping of Mandatory Palestine, and it remains as a core issue at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

Download or read book The Nature and Function of Rituals written by Ruth-Inge Heinze and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2000-01-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From time to time immemorial people have performed rituals out of a deep-rooted human need to come into the presence of the Divine. When a theophany is reenacted, harmony and balance, necessary for leading a satisfactory life, are restored to the individual participants and to the community as a whole. This collection of seventeen studies illuminates the power of ritual to facilitate life transitions and includes discussion of rituals associated with childbirth, adolescent initiation, wedding and funeral rites, and rituals used to resolve conflict and reinforce the solidarity of a community. The reader will observe how rituals resolve the tension between modernity and tradition, and will understand why rituals have not lost their power over the millennia.

Download or read book Tourism, Religion and Pilgrimage in Jerusalem written by Kobi Cohen-Hattab and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerusalem is a city with a singular nature. Home to three religions, it contains spiritual meaning for people the world over; it is at once a tourist destination and a location with a complex political reality. Tourism, therefore, is an integral part of Jerusalem’s development and its political conflicts. The book traces tourism and pilgrimage to Jerusalem from the late Ottoman era, through the British Mandate, during the period of the divided city, and to the reunification of the city under Israeli rule. Throughout, the city’s evolution is shown to be intertwined with its tourist industry, as tourist sites, accommodations, infrastructure, and services transform the city’s structures and open spaces. At the same time, tourism is wielded by various parties in an effort to gain political recognition, to bolster territorial control, or to garner support. The city’s future and the role tourism can play in it are examined. While the construction of a “security fence” will have many implications on Jerusalem’s tourist industry, steps are proposed to minimize the effects of the security fence and optimize tourism. Written by leading academics, this title will be valuable reading for students, academics, and researchers in the fields of tourism, religious studies, geography, history, cultural studies, and anthropology.
