Mounting border troubles and the repeated Syrian - attacks on Israeli village lend importance 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.
