يعد "يوسي ميلمان" من أهم الكتاب الصحفيين الإسرائيليين المعنيين بإشكالية العلاقة بين الإسرائيليين والفلسطينيين، وتناولت العديد من مقالاته الصحفية في الصحف الإسرائيلية المختلفة، وكتبه المنشورة، مدى حجم الهوة التي انساق لها المجتمع الإسرائيلي في تعاملهم مع عرب فلسطين، والتي تنذر بحدوث كارثة مستقبلية حذر منها في الكثير من كتاباته، ويعتبر "موسى ميلمان" نفسه من ذوي الإتجاه اليساري في إسرئيل والذي يدعو لضرورة التعايش مع الفلسطينيين داخل فلسطين، ولو اضطر ذلك "إسرائيل" لإعطاء الفلسطينين حق الحكم الذاتي على بقايا أراضيهم، ولكنه - رغم ذلك - ضد فكرة منح حق العودة للاجئي سنة 1948، إلى جانب انحيازه الواضح تجاه حق إسرائيل التاريخي والأبدي في "القدس"، ويشغل موسى ميلمان في الوقت الحالي وظيفة محلل الشؤون الاستخباراتية والإستراتيجية في صحيفة "هآرتس" الإسرائيلية المشهورة، ومن أهم ما نُشرَ له من مؤلفات: " تواطؤ عبر الاردن" بالاشتراك مع "دان رفيف"، "أمراء الموساد"، "الأصدقاء بالأفعال: أسرار التحالف الإسرائيلي- الأمريكي" بالاشتراك مع "دان رفيف"، "كل جاسوس أمير" بالاشتراك مع "دان رفيف". يلقي "يوسي ميلمان" في كتابه "الإسرائيليون الجدد- مشهد تفصيلي لمجتمع متغير" نظرة إجمالية على أحوال الجيل الثالث من الإسرائيلين الجدد أو الأحفاد، والذين وجدوا أنفسهم في مشكلة مفصلية تتعلق بهويتهم التي ما زالوا يبحثون عنها داخل أعماق البنية الهشة للمجتمع الإسرائيلي، يقول ميلمان: "إن دولة إسرائيل ما برحت تعرف نفسها في إطار دولة اليهود! ولكن ما معنى هذا الأمر، أنحن إسرائيليون أم يهود؟ وهوية من تسبق الأخرى؟ وما جنسيتنا أهي إسرائيلية أم يهودية؟ وهل تعبر يهوديتنا عن نفسها في إطار المصطلح القومي أم في إطار آخر ربما هو الإطار الديني؟ ثم ماذا عن مصطلح (شعب الله) ومصطلح (دولة اليهود)؟ فهل يستثني كلاهما العرب الذين يقطنون دولة إسرائيل؟ وأخيرًا أيهما منبع حضارتنا؟ أهو الأوروبي أم الشرق أوسطي؟.."؛ صـ10.

Representing the collective effort of over 30 leading scientists in Russia and the United States, this is the first book written solely on the subject of nuclear batteries. It presents a rich historical discussion and original research on the conversion of nuclear materials into electrical power, which can then be harvested to make long-lasting, more energy efficient batteries. With this technology, power-matched supplies would last decades - even centuries - using safe, direct, long-life, stable, integrated electric power from the highest energy density source available. Polymers, Phosphors, and Voltaics for Radioisotope Microbatteries presents the state-of-the-art in interdisciplinary research in radiochemistry, tritium storage, semiconductor fabrication and characterization, nuclear battery fabrication and testing, integration into MEMS and other electronic devices, and much more. A key feature of this book is its discussion of construction materials for miniaturized radioisotope power supplies, since progress in nuclear battery technology depends on characterization of functionally radiation-stable components. Though substantial progress has been made to solve problems of using integrated radioisotope batteries for micro- and nanoelectronics, each author has provided an authoritative assessment and has indicated where development is needed. Research in this area has the potential to revolutionize the microelectronics industry by enabling MEMS and nanotechnology. Significant technological progress depends today on coordinated interdisciplinary research. Polymers, Phosphors, and Voltaics for Radioisotope Microbatteries contains diverse discussions of the problems of using radioactive material for microelectronic power needs and guides readers to future research in the area of long-life, high energy-density batteries.

In this comprehensive study of Renaissance jewellery, the first substantial work of its kind, Yvonne Hackenbroch brings to the subject not only her own highly specialized knowledge, but historical discipline. The book is arranged into various countries of origin; a form which serves to mirror the emergence of the Renaissance style in Italy, its spread into the rest of Europe and its eclipse before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War. Over one thousand jewels are illustrated, some well-known and others never before published, together with portraits, engravings and drawings. Illustrated with 45 colour plates (each with several items) and over 900 black and white illustrations.

The Anointed is a story about the destiny of Don Immanuel, the leader of an esoteric group of Christians, Jews and Muslims in Spain in 1492. They are caught up in a battle between good and evil when the Inquisition sets out to destroy him. The symbolism of events and characters reveals a kabbalistic perspective as the cosmic drama unfolds.

The Shape of Revelation explores the overlap between revelation and aesthetic form from the perspective of Judaism. It does so by setting the Jewish philosophy of Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig alongside its immediate visual environment in the aesthetics of early German modernism, most notably alongside "the spiritual in art" as it appears in the art and art theories of Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Franz Marc. The modern shape of revelation—and "the spiritual in art" that emerges from this conversation—builds upon a vocabulary of form-creation, sheer presence, lyric pathos, rhythmic repetition, open spatial dynamism, and erotic pulse that was unique to Germany in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This study works to identify and critically assess the sensual root that is brought to bear upon the modern image of revelation and "the spiritual in art."

This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.

The writers in Life After Work, no longer accountable to a boss, have realized their wildest dreams. They administrate theater companies, become counselors and teachers, build houses and run marathons. They also discuss the challenges of adjusting to a new lifestyle, the difficulties of living on a pension, and the experiences of solitude and loss of perceived status and responsibility.

"With a fresh perspective, Authentically Orthodox: A Tradition-Bound Faith in American Life challenges the current historical paradigm in the study of Orthodox Judaism and other tradition-bound faith communities in the United States.Paying attention to "lived religion," the book moves beyond sermons and synagogues and examines the webs of experiences mediated by any number of American cultural forces. With exceptional writing, Zev Eleff lucidly explores Orthodox Judaism's engagement with Jewish law, youth culture and gender, and how this religious group has been affected by its indigenous environs. To do this, the book makes ample use of archives and other previously unpublished primary sources"--

We are spurred into action by our troubles and fears; but all too often our action fails to address the true causes of our worries. When trying to make sense of our lives, we tend to blame our own failings and weaknesses for our discomforts and defeats. And in doing so, we make things worse rather than better. Reasonable beings that we are, how does this happen and why does it go on happening? These are the questions addressed in this new book by Zygmunt Bauman - one of the most original and perceptive social thinkers writing today. For Bauman, the task of sociology is not to censor or correct the stories we tell of our lives, but to show that there are more ways in which our life stories can be told. By bringing into view the many complex dependencies invisible from the vantage point of private experience, sociology can help us to link our individual decisions and actions to the deeper causes of our troubles and fears - to the ways we live, to the conditions under which we act, to the socially drawn limits of our imagination and ambition. Sociology can help us to understand the processes that have shaped the society in which we live today, a society in which individualization has become our fate. And sociology can also help us to see that if our individual but shared anxieties are to be effectively tackled, they need to be addressed collectively, true to their social, not individual, nature. The Individualized Society will be of great interest to students of sociology, politics and the social sciences and humanities generally. It will also appeal to a broader range of readers who are interested in the changing nature of our social and political life today.
