to the thesis, "Boundary Prob-
lems of the Jordan Valley,"
written by Edward. S. Kersch,
who is presently a Wayne State
University research technician.
Kersch wrote his book to ful-
fill requirements for his mas-
ters degree, in the department
of geography at Clark Univer-
sity, Worcester, Mass. He made
his study during a 10-week stay
in Israel and pursued it here
through many contacts.
His book makes a thorough
study of the Jordan River proj-
ects, the difficulties encount-
ered as a result of the Israel-
Arab struggles and the attempts
that were made by Eric Johns-
ton on behalf of the U. S. and
by the UN to secure an under-
standing for joint irrigation
projects along the Jordan.
Considerable attention is
given in this book to the prob-
lems in the demilitarized zone.
