This is such a timely and needed publication. The book offers insightful chapters by authors who are scholars within this area of study. Other chapters offer insight into today's world of technology and science. Remaining chapters provide insightful perspectives by authors that incorporate the ethical issues involved in both technology and science. The authors and publisher, I believe, are TOTALLY on the right track with their belief that this is a very crucial publication for today's society. The first chapter by Morton Winston, "Children of Invention," tells the reader what is going on currently in our society within the area of ethics, technology, and science; where we were, where we are now, and why we need to look at this for our future. This publication is ground breaking. With our society's current stance of available access to technology and developments in science our ethical decision-making related to these disciplines ARE our future; the authors of this book have provided us with excellent topics and issues to "Begin the Discussion."

The disruptions and genocides of World War II resulted in a time of massive post-war Jewish migration with nearly two million European Jews moving to Israel, hundreds of thousands more arriving in North America, Australia, and France, while tens of thousands resettled elsewhere in the world. Fifty years after the conclusion of the war, Jews are still migrating: from the former Soviet Union, to and away from Israel, and within nations where they have long been resident. Still Moving: Recent Jewish Migration In Comparative Perspective closely examines the causes and characters of these migration patterns both in Israel and throughout the Diaspora. The contributors establish a context of the continuing global migration with an emphasis on its impact on Israel. They also survey immigration to Israel in the 1990s with particular focus on Russian emigres and internal migration from rural to urban centers, migration out into the Diaspora, and the changing nature of the Diaspora and its relations with Israel. Still Moving is an impressive, documented, up-to- date survey and analysis of contemporary Jewish migration patterns that will prove invaluable for historians, sociologists, and students of international political science and contemporary Judaic life.

This is a fascinating book.It was written by a psychologist who treated a woman who'd been the victim of horrific child abuse. Her father repeatedly sexually molested her.However,this isn't a book about a childabuse survivor-Ruth's significance was in her ability to "create" apparitions.Under Dr. Schatzman's care she became able to deliberately summon apparitions of friends,realtives,even strangers.The book follows Dr. Schatzman and Ruth's exploration of her talent and the questions it raised.The apparitions were not paranormal; her father had grown a beard since the last time Ruth had seen him,but the apparition she created was clean-shaven.Once Ruth had summoned an apparition, she was unable to control it.The apparition behaved like a real person,and carried on conversations,wandered out of the room,etc. On one occasion she was able to make love and achieve an orgasm after calling up an apparition of her husband. Dr.Schatzman ran various tests on Ruth-he was able to demonstrate that her apparitions were so real to her that they were able to block light.And on one occassion her father also "saw" an apparition that Ruth had created.This isn't really a book about the paranormal-this book should be of interest to anyone interested in the amazing abilities of the human mind.This is an excellent book for the hardcore skeptics to read-they won't have to swallow any "impossibilities" but they will catch a glimpse of something with amazing implications

it's great to know that a book like this has finally been written about such a great fighter. there are many fighters who look up to this man considering he was the ony fighter to hold 3 world titles. a really great book. thank you

I recommend this book to anyone involved with radiative heat transfer, even engineers. Usually one makes contact with this subject through engineering-oriented books. But, at least in this case, the original work is much better. Engineers usually don't like to read physics books, but this one is pretty accessible and easy to understand.

A new approach to financing public education that makes sense for the 21st century. Should be read by school board members and members of Congress and all others concerned about the future liabilites Americans will have to those who have retired. This book should start a new public discussion but is being ignored for lack of publicity. Easy to read economic analysis, sprinkled with humor and cartoons.

Just after turning 50, I had a sudden, unexplained weight loss that turned out to be Type II diabetes.

This book is one of the best I've read as an initial overview of the disease and how to cope with it. Its clear and concise, providing adequate--but not too much--information in plain language.

If you've recently been diagnosed with diabetes, I strongly recommend this book as a beginning point in your education. Its 10 bucks well spent!

Smit comes out of the Reformational School of thinking, was greatly influenced by Abraham Kuyper, and studied under Herman Dooyeweerd. The driving force in his life--especially towards the end--was to articulate the Divine Mystery in History, the name of one of the papers which in included in this book. He desired, like his contemporaries, to see all of life placed under the Lordship of Christ. To this end he provides a critique of the thinking of his contemporary Catholic historians and philosophers of history, which, it is noted, was well received by both Reformed and Catholic thinkers alike. His mastery of the issues he deals with in the study of history is complete.
