This new and attractively printed and illustrated edition of "The Other Side of the Jordan" serves to portray one of the greatest single-handed archaeological achievements of the century. The desert and the sown land - what special fascination this gives to the study of the Near East! In between them to this day are a floating population. Sometimes they settled and built towns. More often they roamed with their flocks, home-base being where they grew one crop a year on marginal land. Many are the theories to explain them, who they are and what they have accomplished. Yet what are the facts? What actually can one find out by travel on foot, horseback, or camel, living among present Bedouin to search the hills and valleys for evidence of a past they have long forgotten? Here is the story of what one man found out about this mystery in a search of many years, between 1932 and 1947. Its main conclusions are today still true - an important new chapter in the ancient story of man.
