The book reveals the biographies of entrepreneurs who came to Palestine in the 1920's and 1930's. Exposing the uniqueness of the plantation companies, describing the figures involved in them and analyzing their contribution to forming Palestine's settlement landscape in the British Mandate period, this book relates the intimate narrative of settlements which were built as temporary structures, but still leave lasting imprints on the landscape. 410 0$aIsrael Studies in Historical Geography 606 $aCitrus$zPalestine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAgricultural innovations$zPalestine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAgriculture$zPalestine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEntrepreneurship$zPalestine$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aMediterranean Coast (Israel)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 610 $aIndustrial monuments. 610 $aZionism. 610 $acitrus fruit. 610 $aentrepreneurship. 615 0$aCitrus$xHistory 615 0$aAgricultural innovations$xHistory 615 0$aAgriculture$xHistory 615 0$aEntrepreneurship$xHistory 676 $a956.9404 700 $aAmit-Cohen$b Irit$01542850 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786070003321 996 $aZionism and free enterprise$93795966 997 $aUNINA
