In a new updated version of his book Jerusalem on Earth, veteran journalist Abraham Rabinovich presents readers with a close-up look at the kaleidoscope of Israel's developing capital. Rabinovich wanted to feel the city's pulse from the perspective of its different components and asked to cover the municipal and police beats. Both the original and revised editions of Jerusalem on Earth have received extremely favorable reviews in Israel and the US. Another recently published book, The Jerusalem That Was and Is No More, written by architect David Kroyanker, complements Rabinovich's work by focusing on the preservation of historic buildings in Jerusalem. Jerusalem has changed radically from the sleepy backwater that it used to be and now boasts the largest population in the country and an extremely advanced urban makeover.
