Pamela Olson, a small town girl from eastern Oklahoma, had what she always wanted: a physics degree from Stanford University. But instead of feeling excited for what came next, she felt consumed by dread and confusion. This irresistible memoir chronicles her journey from aimless ex-bartender to Ramallah-based journalist and foreign press coordinator for a Palestinian presidential candidate.With dizzying speed she finds herself attending Yasser Arafat's funeral, sharing a holiday dinner with a suicide bomber's family, tour-guiding Israeli friends around the West Bank, dating a Palestinian from a conservative Muslim village, being held at gunpoint and injured by a stun grenade, and witnessing the 2005 Disengagement from inside the Gaza Strip. The gripping narrative focuses not only on violence, terror, and social and political upheavals but also on the daily rounds of house parties, concerts, barbecues, weddings, jokes, harvests, and romantic drama that happen in between. Its seamless blend of travelogue, memoir, and narrative journalism ramps the average American up to a sophisticated, multi-faceted understanding of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Funny, gorgeous, shocking, and galvanizing, Fast Times in Palestine challenges the way we think not only about the Middle East but albout human nature and our place in the world. REVIEWS "A moving, inspiring account of life in Palestine that's enormously informative yet reads like a novel!" -- Rebecca Vilkomerson, Executive Director, Jewish Voice for Peace "It's love in the time of occupation as Pamela Olson... takes us on the emotional roller-coaster of her very personal experience of life in Ramallah... A charming book brimming with tension and tragedy, but also with the humor, warmth, everyday foibles and irrepressible hopes of a people determined to live free." -- Tony Karon, Senior Editor, TIME Magazine "Part adventure story, part searing reportage, part love story, and wholly absorbing." -- Dr. Kenneth Ring, co-author, Letters from Palestine "Pamela Olson leads the reader on an exciting, funny, at times heart-wrenching journey, carefully deciphering complex political and historical issues. Olson is a talented writer, intelligent and exceptional in her ability to convey both tragedy and hope, remaining morally grounded and refreshingly honest." -- Ramzy Baroud, Author, My Father was a Freedom Fighter "As an Israeli whose life was shaped by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I found Fast Times in Palestine moving and refreshing. Pamela Olson comes to the Middle East with a blank slate and is therefore able to hold up an undistorted mirror to the reality she encounters." -- Miko Peled, Author, The General's Son For more information, visit pamolson.org Author: Pamela Olson Kindle Edition: 384 pages Kindle eBook Company: Mason Hill Press (2011-05-15) (2011-05-15) List Price: $5.99 Amazon Price: 
This volume was published in 1907. From the book's Preface: The tour which is recorded in this book followed in part the hackneyed tourist route; in part a route which is seldom taken. It is hoped that each may have its own interest. The average tourist who arrives in Jerusalem finds himself in the midst of perplexity. He is confronted by two or more sites for most biblical scenes. Two Zions, two Temple areas, two Bethanys, two Geth- semanes, two or more Calvarys, three Holy Sepul- chres, several Bethesdas, put in their claims for his veneration. And it is the same throughout his tour : there are two Bethlehems, two Capernaums, two Sychars, four Jerichos, and so on. Some attempt is made here to discriminate between the true and the false in respect of the Bible places which are visited by most pilgrims to Palestine. For the rest, the detours to Bethlehem of Zebulon and to Chorazin, and the journey down the Ghor, with visits to Gadara and Pella, may interest those who have not left the beaten track and the Bible student in general. The narrative is in some respects belated. The tour was taken five years ago, and, though the notes were written out in full immediately upon return, the publication, with the results of subsequent study, has been delayed partly by an active life, partly by illness. The ** Unchangeable East " has not, however, essen- tially altered since then. So far as the tourist is concerned, the main alterations are the completion of the northern road from Jerusalem as far as Sinjil, and the establishment of hotels at Nablus and Jenin. The opening of the railway from Haifa to Semakh does not help the average tourist : it is intended for and will be chiefly used by Mohammedan pilgrims. The suffering from drought, which occurred during my visit to Jerusalem, led to an attempt to lay on water from Solomon's Pools, and a feeble stream now arrives in the Haram esh-Sherif, but it is available only for Moslems, and, since the pipes are laid on the surface of the ground, it arrives hot. Besides these "improvements," I do not know that any change remains to be noted which would alter the record if the tour had been taken this year.

Two Worlds describes what it is like to live in Israel through the eyes of a long-term visitor who has family connections there. The author is a former British academic who has been challenged to test his book knowledge against realities on the ground. Unlike most travel books it is concerned with politics and the sources of conflict. Unlike most political books it looks closely at daily life in an effort to understand the emotions and attitudes which help to sustain the ‘two worlds’ of Israel and ‘Palestine’. Initial impressions of Israel described in the first few essays are followed by accounts of visits to the West Bank, including an interview with a Fatah leader in Hebron, the experience of living in Jerusalem, and discussions of such questions as Zionism and Palestinian statehood.Author: Richard Crockatt Kindle Edition: 120 pages Kindle eBook Company: Crockatt Publishing (2012-03-28) (2012-03-28) List Price: Amazon Price:

This is the last volume of three and was published in 1864. The present Volume embraces a period of two years. It was thought better to delay, until the material at the Editor's dis- posal had so far accumulated as to call for a new Volume, rather than to force the publication of "Vacation Tourists" to a formal period of issue. It is believed that the present Volume will be found fully as interesting as either of its two predecessors. There is certainly far more variety in its contents.

Ornithologist and clergyman H. B. Tristram (1822-1906), who became both a Fellow of the Royal Society and Canon residentiary of Durham, began his literary career with an account of his ventures into the desert of Algeria, where he had travelled seeking a salubrious winter climate. This subsequent book, published in 1865, narrates his journey through Palestine in 1863-4. An engaging account, written for a popular audience, it combines detailed observations of antiquities, geography, and the native wildlife with scriptural quotations; its stated aim is to demonstrate that the Bible accurately describes the region. Tristram was one of the earliest public supporters of Darwin's theories, noting their relevance to his own studies in his 1859 paper 'On the Ornithology of North Africa'. This book, and his later work of 1873 The Land of Moab (also reissued in this series), illuminate the complex contemporary relationship between religion and the natural sciences.Author: Henry Baker Tristram Paperback: 706 pages Company: Cambridge University Press (2012-01-19) ISBN: 1108042058 List Price: $48.00 Amazon Price: $47.99

Palestine is a tiny country, yet within its borders lie a significant part of the Holy Land and, from the Samarian Mountains to the Dead Sea, a surprising variety of landscape. Divided from Israel by the Green Line, Palestine has much to offer the visitor, not least the warmth of the Palestinian people that belies their turbulent history. In addition to the attractions of Jericho and Bethlehem, and the modern-day cities of Nablus and Ramallah, the Bradt guide extends out into the mountains and hills giving details of hidden monasteries, deep gorges and barren deserts. And then, of course, there's in-depth coverage of Jerusalem. This guide includes background history, from the birth of civilization to the new millennium; the West Bank and Gaza Strip; Jerusalem in detail; accommodation, food and transport; safety and security; activities from floating in the Dead Sea to walking, cycling and Turkish baths and 22 maps and town plans.
