Book Review

Pollution in a Promised Land: An Environmental History of Israel. By Alon Tal. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002. xviii + 546 pp. Cloth $85.00, paper $34.95.

Few countries have been the subject of such a comprehensive environmental history, and Alon Tal tells his story with skill and an insider's firsthand knowledge. Born and trained in the United States, Tal has been one of Israel's leading environmental activists for many years, and as chairman of an umbrella group for that country's eighty-odd environmental organizations he is deeply in touch with the pulse of environmentalism there.
