The Dead Sea: The Lake and Its Setting (Oxford Monographs on Geology and Geophysics) ReviewReaders: This is the third printing of the 1997 edition of the book. Not sure why Amazon has this listed as a 2006 book. I own the 1997 first printing and it is excellent.
This may be a new 2006 second edition, and so perhaps the publisher has just temporarily shown us the cover of the 1997 edition --- as a placeholder for the new (?) edition. I certainly recommend this book to all professional geologists. It is a scholarly treatise and written at the university level; not meant for casual readers.
Dr. Tini Niemi received her PhD degree in geology from Stanford University with a dissertation on the San Andreas Fault at Olema (near Point Reyes). Dr. Niemi is now professor of geology at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. She specializes in tectonic geomorphology and seismology.

[...]The Dead Sea: The Lake and Its Setting (Oxford Monographs on Geology and Geophysics) OverviewLocated 400 meters below sea level, at the tectonically active irregular boundary between the Mediterranean and Arabic plates, the Dead Sea is the site of many interesting phenomena. It provides a modern analog for ancient pull-apart basins and allows researchers to examine the process of evaporite deposition from deep water. It also offers insight into the adaptive ability of the life form living in the hypersaline brine. This book, based on a conference held in Tel Aviv in December 1993, focuses on the geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, and climatology of the Dead Sea region.
