{"product_id":"the-ten-lost-tribes-zvi-ben-dor-benite-9780195307337","title":"The Ten Lost Tribes: A World History","description":"The legendary story of the ten lost tribes of Israel has resonated among both Jews and Christians down through the centuries: the compelling idea that some core group of humanity was ''lost'' and exiled to a secret place, perhaps someday to return triumphant. In \u003cem\u003eThe Ten Lost Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e, Zvi Ben-Dor Benite shows for the first time the extent to which the search for the lost tribes of Israel became, over two millennia, an engine for global exploration and a key mechanism for understanding the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the book reveals, the quest for the missing tribes and the fervent belief that their restitution marked a necessary step toward global redemption have been threaded through countless historical moments--from the formation of the first ''world'' empires to the age of discovery, and from the spread of European imperialism to the rise of modern-day evangelical apocalypticism. More than a historical survey of an enduring myth, \u003cem\u003eThe Ten Lost Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e offers a unique prism through which to view the many facets of encounters between cultures, the processes of colonization, and the growth of geographical knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zvi Ben-Dor Benite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019530733X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195307337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/22\/2009 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010","brand":"Zvi Ben-Dor Benite","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245032108287,"sku":"9780195307337","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43a5b586-d551-4df2-887c-436da0e17e37.jpg?v=1693925733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ten-lost-tribes-zvi-ben-dor-benite-9780195307337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
