Excerpt from the Preface: There are three strong threads which run through Ruth Fischer’s present volume and bind its diverse details and complicated ideological expositions firmly and closely together. The first thread is the history of the German Communist Party, 1918-1929. The second thread is the story of the internal Soviet struggle for political power during Lenin’s last years and immediately after his death up to the point where Trotsky was eliminated by exile. The third thread is the connecting tie-up between the other two threads – the interrelation between German Communist policy and the internal conflicts in the Soviet Politburo and the Moscow Comintern; or, to put it more bluntly, Russian efforts to manipulate German Communist policy, not for Germany’s own good, but in the interests of Russian internal factions or of Soviet foreign policy. It was this, together with Stalin’s use of terror and secret police, and his ruthless elimination of those who stood in his

This book is for readers who have learned about first order logic; Gödel's completeness theorem; the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem; the Tarski-Vaught criterion for being elementary sub-model; and who know naive set theory. A graduate course in model theory will be helpful. The thesis of the book is that we can find worthwhile dividing lines among complete first order theories T; mainly countable. That is, properties dividing them in some sense between understandable and complicated ones. The main test problem is the number of models of T of the infinite cardinal l as a function of l. This culminates in the so-called main gap theorem saying the number is either maximal or quite small in suitable sense. Toward this, other properties are introduced and investigated, such as being stable or being super stable, where can we define dimension and weight, particularly for super stable theories.

In this exciting interpretation of the Odyssey , the late renowned scholar Seth Benardete suggests that Homer may have been the first to philosophize in a Platonic sense. He argues that the Odyssey concerns precisely the relation between philosophy and poetry and, more broadly, the rational and the irrational in human beings. In light of this possibility, Bernardete works back and forth from Homer to Plato to examine the relation between wisdom and justice and tries to recover an original understanding of philosophy that Plato, too, recovered by reflecting on the wisdom of the poet. At stake in his argument is no less than the history of philosophy and the ancient understanding of poetry. The Bow and the Lyre is a book that every classicist and historian of philosophy should have.

For over 25 years, the West Bank has been one of the world's most violent and hotly-disputed pieces of land. The Carrot and the Stick takes the reader back to the beginning, the fateful year following the 1967 Six Day War when Israel first took control of the West Bank.The author, Maj. Gen. (Res.) Shlomo Gazit, helped create and implement Israeli policy for the first seven years of the occupation as coordinator of Israeli government operations in the territories. Working with such legendary leaders as Levi Eshkol, Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan, Gazit confronted issues that still roil the political waters today: Palestinian nationalism, terrorism, refugees, poverty and Jewish settlement. Gazit's unique, eyewitness perspective provides insight into the personalities and strategies that shaped Israel's policy. He attributes what he deems "the success" of the first decade of occupation to Dayan and suggests that the leader's departure from office in 1974 left the territories "fatherless," paving the way for the violent eruption of the intifada, or Palestinian uprising. Gazit takes issue with the Israeli government's "decision not to decide" the final status of the West Bank unilaterally. The general is also critical of the Israeli government's failure to reevaluate its policy toward this disputed land in the decades since its conquest.
