The Desert Experience in Israel shares the responses of settlers,
artists, poets, scientists, and educators who lived near the Blaustein
Institute in the Negev Desert of Israel as they answer the question,
'What difference has living in the desert year round made in your
work?' The book begins with a reprint of David Ben-Gurion's call for
settlement and science in the desert. This is followed by an account
of life in early kibbutzim, a discussion of the meaning of the term
'desert,' accounts of religion in the desert, and the relationship of
the desert experience to art, theatre, literature, poetry, sculpture,
and the use of color categories by the Bedouin. Accounts of research
on solar energy, fossil fuel, water, microalgae, runoff agriculture,
fish, and architecture are followed by desert-related activities in
the high school, field school, and research institute.
