Century

Two peoples, Jews and Palestinian Arabs, lay claim to the same piece of land. But who does it really belong to? Scripture, history, and contemporary politics add to the volatile conflict in the Middle East. Whose Promised Land?, now in a fully revised and updated fifth edition, provides an evenhanded approach to this complex dilemma. The book begins with the history of the territory, explaining the development of the conflict and the complexity of the issues. The second section surveys biblical teaching on the theme of the land, both from the Old Testament point of view and the perspective of Jesus and his followers. Building on the analysis of history and the biblical studies, the final part examines the major contemporary forces affecting the conflict today. Unlike many evangelical Christian books on the topic, Whose Promised Land? does not automatically assume a pro-Israel stance, but seeks to present an honest appraisal of modern Israel while clearly delineating the interrelated issues surrounding the crisis in the Middle East.

LION HUDSON PLC

This text digs beneath the Israel and Palestine conflict to examine the roots of the two cultures. The author, Colin Chapman, explores the history of the two peoples, and of the Jewish settlement in the region. He acknowledges the religious roots of the feelings on both sides and looks to the Bible to handle modern events. The book challenges many assumptions, including those of Christian Zionists, before presenting Chapman's own personal answers to the crisis.

The Llantrisant branches, formed by the Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction Railway (L&amp;TVJR), whose passenger services ran from Pontypridd to Llantrisant, and the Treferig Valley Railway, came into being through nominally independent companies. The original L&amp;TVJR main line always carried a worthwhile traffic, although it was relatively modest compared with other parts of the Taff Vale Railway. However, the later extensions and the Treferig Valley Railway were very much in the speculative tradition. The book is in A5 format with a square-backed Linson cover. It is printed on art paper throughout and consists of 136 pages and includes 47 maps and plans and 86 photographs.

What would appear to be just another guide to tracing ancestors, Colin Chapman's  Tracing Your British Ancestors is, in fact, a readable, informative, and surprisingly original  book. While it covers the conventional methods and sources employed in British genealogical  research--parish records, probate records, civil and ecclesiastical records, vital records, county  records, heraldry, and so forth--it touches imaginatively on areas only lightly covered or totally  ignored in similar guidebooks. There are discussions of research techniques in the Channel  Islands and the Isle of Man, for instance, and whole chapters on the old and new Poor Laws and  on land records--topics usually reserved for larger, more academic studies. And, as with Mr.  Chapman's other cameo publications, there is a list of useful addresses and suggestions for  further reading.
