Jesus, Judas and Mordy Ben Ruben Three Good Jewish Boys in Jerusalem : a Novel

Dick Gross
Jesus and Judas - media show pony and backroom organiser . . . When Mordecai Ben Ruben first meets them, he thinks he has them pegged. But when the hubris of one and the loyalty of the other lead to tragedy and betrayal, Mordy tries to salvage what he can from the wreckage to protect those he's closest to. Our sceptical, and at times scatological, narrator is Mordecai Ben Ruben, a loudmouth Temple priest and dove seller. When the Jesus roadshow arrives in Jerusalem, Mordy has to deal with a big problem: what do you do when your wife and best friend get mixed up in a weird, suicidal religious cult?

Supervisions with Donald Meltzer

Meltzer, Donald
It is a tribute to the fourteen years of work carried out together in Barcelona and Simsbury, Oxford, and an invitation to other clinicians to share in the learning experience of talking freely about the vicissitudes of their daily work. The transcriptions are presented unedited, excepting grammatical corrections, in order to preserve the atmosphere of the meetings and enable the reader to experience them fully. They cover subject matter such as anorexia, hysteria and perversion that arise in the course of clinical work and the subsequent discussions envelop the whole range of the ideas of post-Kleinian psychoanalysis. This broad spectrum is indicated by the three separate indexes that end the book - on the central ideas, on the main subjects and on diagnoses.This is an absorbing representation of the valuable work carried out over the years by these meetings and will provoke much thought and further discussion from its readers, perhaps even inspiring some to begin similar dialogues.

Hegel and revolution

Sullivan, Terry,Gluckstein, Donny
"Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was the most outstanding philosopher that emerged from the tumultuous period of change in Europe in the aftermath of the French Revolution. His ideas concerning change exerted a powerful influence on generations of thinkers and activists, including Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Whilst there are many books and articles on Hegel there are scant few that are accessible to those unfamiliar with philosophy. This book provides an introduction to Hegel for those who are unfamiliar with him. It examines three key areas of his philosophy--his understanding of alientation, his philosophy of history and the concept of dialectics - and the application and development of his method and analysis by Marx and Engels."--Page 4 of cover.

Breaks in communication

Bohm, Dorothy
In the 1980s, André Kertesz encouraged Dorothy Bohm to switch to color film. Immediately thereafter, torn advertising posters, graffiti and vernacular murals began to emerge as one of the persistent themes in her work. If their initial appeal was their seductive visuality, their deeper significance arguably stems from her history as a Lithuanian refugee who lost touch with most of her family when she immigrated there as a teenager in 1939. A sense of loss is acute and ever-present in her compelling images of witty and melancholic transient worlds.
