Holy Lands

Book of the Day: Historical Atlas of the Holy Lands, by Karen Farrington. Publisher: Checkmark Books.

The history of the Bible takes place in a region known as the Fertile Crescent, an area in the Middle East where the land's fertility was high enough to allow for the development of some of humanity's earliest sedentary civilizations. Because of the religious significance of the cities and places, it's also known as the Holy Land to many believers around the world.
