Some of Shlomo Aronson’s monographs include historical landscape references (Israel).

Dear Mr.Rob,

But it’s hard to find the right way to study. I will start study the history in the past first.

So many thanks!:)

But fascinating! Now he needs to study Arabic. Why try to understand the history of Middle East landscapes by only reading what English speakers have to say about it?

The Middle East is a diverse place with different cultures and different relationships to the landscape. If you can focus on what you wish to learn it will be easier to begin.
