In the Land of Light: Israel, a Portrait of Its People

by Rodney Smith (Photographer)

Rodney Smith's first book is a compilation of images taken in and around Jerusalem. In some we see views of the resonant landscapes of the Holy Land. But Smith's primary concern is the human element in the landscape. In his portraits, which suggest the immense ethnic range of the inhabitants of Israel, he seeks to express one central quality of the human the indomitable will to persevere and prevail. 126 pages; b&w plates throughout; 12 x 9 inches.
