" Infertile Crescent " describes the reality of what was once called the cradle of civilisation, burning in turmoil. Chapter 1 wonders to explore the 180 km route of the controversial Dead-Red Sea salvation pipeline in Jordan, that is to supply much needed water, by tracing the places it will cross.
Among ancient legends of the Dead Sea, where farmers dance around sink holes of thistle and oases of potash, along the valley of peace and a desert yearning the Sea. An old wives tale, on the construction of a pipeline, where a geologist and a village idiot agree: The next war is a water war.
