Books on The Shroud or Turin

Avinoam Danin is Professor Emeritus at the Department of Evolution, Systematics, and Ecology at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For more than 4 decades he has been involved in the identity and distribution of higher plants, microorganisms, other organisms and their relation to the environment. His research has been published in 5 books and 182 articles in English, 5 books and 247 articles in Hebrew, 1 bilingual book and 1 Italian book. Danin, a Jew, states that he is not a profound believer in any religion and also that he had no emotional feeling when he first saw the cloth, so is a very unbiased researcher. The book, which has many excellent color photographs, concludes, among other things, that images of plants that he saw on the Shroud are real and not created by any photographic method, the geographical origin of the plants can be restricted to the area between Jerusalem and Hebron, March-April is the time of year that some of the plants found on the Shroud are in bloom. Clearly, his findings would not preclude the Shroud's connection with Jesus.
