Summary: A whole new way of looking at this magical city
Review: I first saw most of these sites when I was fifteen (7 years ago), but Brooke shows them in a whole new way. By photographing them empty of the hoards of people usually in, above, outside, and underneath the city, and using only black and white photography with perfect lighting, he brings a stunning, cool, serenity to the hot, crowded, volatile, emotional city. I happen to love the intense, 90 degree, crowded, tense Jerusalem; those are probably the reasons I have had such a long and passionate love affair with the city, but Brooke's view is not to be missed. In short, buy this book for its unforgettable, striking, devastatingly beautiful images, but get on the next plane to Israel and experience it for yourself as well. I currently only have it on (perpetual) loan from my university library (...because I re-check it out every three weeks), but it is currently on my amazon wish list, and will hopefully join my permanent library soon! Thank you, Steven Brooke, for taking me back to my spiritual home so beautifully.

Summary: stunning, unforgettable images of the Holy Land
Review: Like his earlier classic work "Views of Rome", Brooke presents visual poetry of the architecture and monuments of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. The composition and lighting are flawless; the images are stunning and unforgettable. Not just a "coffee table" book, but one to re -visit and appreciate over the years.
