This book tells the human history of a unique landscape.
Join Professor Nir Arielli in conversation with Dr John Gallagher to launch his new book, The Dead Sea: A 10,000 Year History (Yale University Press, 2025).
The Dead Sea is in trouble. Currently dropping at a rate of approximately a metre per year, the lake's water level is about 40 metres lower than it was in the mid-1970s. I hope to show readers that it is a unique place which should be saved.
Find out more about the book in an interview with Professor Arielli.
