Essentials of Jewish History is a comprehensive compendium for ready reference. Both a typology of leadership roles (prophets; prophetesses; high priests; Judges; kings; queens; exilarchs; courtiers; Zionists; generals; sages) and a Who’s Who, its unique value is in outlining and assembling all of these discrete categories in one convenient volume.

Essentials of the Land of Israel is a comprehensive compendium for ready reference. As a geographical history of the Land of Israel, it foregrounds the most significant political and natural features of the landscape (borders; capitals; mountains; valleys; rivers; lakes; seas; deserts; forests) and the major biblical and historical events associated with them, and its unique value is in outlining and assembling all of these discrete categories in one convenient volume.

Praise for each volume:

Essentials of Jewish History
An essential reference for every home, and worthwhile cover-to-cover reading for more serious students. This book is a remarkable tour de force, spanning the breadth of four millennia of Jewish history with encyclopedic clarity. Marlon’s fascinating perspective traces unlikely continuities and discontinuities.... I think my copy will be well-worn by the time I’m done with it.

Dr. Henry Abramson, Academic Dean, Lander College of Arts & Sciences

Essentials of the Land of Israel
A comprehensive, one-volume introduction to the geography of the Land – biblical and modern.... Essentials of the Land of Israel is an essential guide to readers of the Bible who wish to understand its geographical background, and to those planning a visit to the Land itself.  

Dr. Yigal Levin, Director, The Rivlin Institute for the History of the Land of Israel and its Settlement, Bar-Ilan University
