audiobook Experience and Expression: Women; the Nazis; and the Holocaust by From Brand: Wayne State University Press in History

Description

The Sinai peninsula--a fabled triangle of land squeezed between Africa and Asia--harbors a rich deposit of cultural history. For many centuries; Sinai has served as a pivotal transit station; a lively route of caravans; armies; missionaries; and pilgrimages; and a military shield for Egypt. Sinai is also known as the crossroads of the world's three major religions: the site of Moses' exodus; it has subsequently been the entry point for Christianity's and Islam's spread into Africa and Asia. Formerly isolated from the Egyptian mainland; Sinai is today poised on the threshold of new era. After regaining Sinai from Israel; Egypt encouraged Sinai's integration with the motherland; emphasizing its potential for tourism. Sinai: The Site and the History accordingly provides a point of reference from which this land can be discovered and rediscovered. The work of a distinguished group of journalists and scholars; with over 60 stunning color photographs; Sinai provides a comprehensive picture of the region: its breathtaking geography; its remarkable secular and religious history; and the culture and customs of its Bedouin peoples.
