The Awakening Desert

Michael Evenari's biography unfolds his exciting, manifold life: his life of botany, the confrontation with political events as a youngster and his thrilling experience of helping in the development of Israel.
Evenari takes us on his exciting expeditions in the company of his beloved wife. He tells us of his meetings with many personalities and about his farm in the Negev. The discovery of long forgotten floodwater irrigated farm systems from the times of King Solomon and their reconstruction became a successful experiment which led him to teach this approach of runoff agriculture in many parts of the world, initializing progress in the development of various arid areas.
