Description:

The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is technically 69 years old and counting but has its roots in over 2,000 years of history. With so much time and history, the Middle East peace process has become laden with unique, politically sensitive concepts like the right of return, contiguous borders, secure borders, demilitarized zones, and security requirements, with players like the Quartet, Palestinian Authority, Fatah, Hamas, the Arab League and Israel. Over time, it has become exceedingly difficult for even sophisticated political pundits and followers to keep track of it all.

Thanks to the existential crises Israel faced in the first decades of its existence, it was virtually necessary to possess superior intelligence organizations, so it should come as no surprise that the Mossad is one of the most famed agencies in history. In Hebrew, Mossad means “the Institute,” but the name is short for Mossad Merkazi le-Modiin ule-Tafkidim Meyuhadim, which means, “Central Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations.” Comprised of 10 separate departments, the Mossad as it exists today was formed via a directive during the leadership of Prime Minister Ben Gurion, and it stated, "For our state which since its creation has been under siege by its enemies. Intelligence constitutes the first line of defense…we must learn well how to recognize what is going on around us."

Since then, the Mossad has been recognized by some as the greatest intelligence service in the world and one of the most ruthless and opaque by others. Since its inception in 1949, the Mossad has been credited with incredible rescues, violent assassinations, and the clever sabotage of enemy operations. Whether nefarious or essential, both critics and supporters of Mossad recognize that its estimated 1,200 employees have the unique ability to adapt to uncertain and hostile circumstances, accomplish large-scale objectives with limited resources, and persevere when seemingly hopelessly outnumbered.

The Mossad: The History and Legacy of Israel’s National Intelligence Agency looks at the agency’s organizational characteristics, historical inception, Cold War growth, and its recent influence. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about the agency like never before.

Description:

Książka dr Barańskiej lokuje się na przecięciu teorii kultury oraz metodologii i filozofii nauki. Z jednej strony bowiem rekonstruuje za amerykańskim antropologiem problemy związane z badaniem kultury wyłaniające się na styku jego własnych badań terenowych i refleksji nad podejściami wcześniejszymi, z drugiej zaś Autorka stara się wydobywać na plan pierwszy zasadnicze rozstrzygnięcia filozoficzne, które z tego rodzaju problemami się wiążą. Sama również na najogólniejszym poziomie porządkuje swój wywód za pomocą odniesień filozoficznych. Podoba mi się swego rodzaju zrównoważenie, jakie udało jej się w tym osiągnąć. [.] Korzyść jest taka, że skrupulatna lektura Geertza, jaką proponuje Autorka, pozwoli w książce odnaleźć coś interesującego czytelnikom zainteresowanym teorią kultury (zwłaszcza zaś jej losami w antropologii społeczno-kulturowej),jak i tym wszystkim, którzy raczej skupią się na jej przecinaniu się z problematyką filozoficzną. [.] Podoba mi się to, jak Autorka prowadzi swoje rozważania blisko tekstu Geertza, a jednocześnie swobodnie go kontekstualizuje przywołując bądź teorie wcześniejsze, bądź ujęcia późniejsze, nierzadko polemiczne z autorem Wiedzy lokalnej. Podoba mi się również coś, co na początku lektury może przeszkadzać: wrażliwość na niejednoznaczność i wieloaspektowość poruszanej problematyki. Autorka jest daleka od próby stworzenia jednoznacznej wykładni teorii Geertza. Powiedziałbym, że bliska jest pod tym względem tekstom Derridy. Niewątpliwą zaletą pracy jest również duża erudycja, z jaką wywody są poprowadzone. Dr Barańska swobodnie sięga zarówno do współczesnej epistemologii, jak i do dyskusji antropologicznych nt. tekstualizmu w teorii kultury i w tych odniesieniach widać bardzo skrupulatną, pogłębioną lekturę. [.] [U]ważam, że książka Koty na Zanzibarze potencjalnie będzie interesującą lekturą zarówno dla reprezentantów nauk badających kulturę (etnologia/antropologia, kulturoznawstwo, socjologia kultury itd.),jak i dla filozofek i filozofów. Jako trzecią kategorię czytelników dodałbym metodologów nauki lokujących się po trosze w filozofii, jak i w poszczególnych naukach szczegółowych [.].

Description:

The most popular alternate history series of all continues. When an inexplicable cosmic disturbance hurls your town from twentieth century West Virginia back to seventeenth century Europe-and into the middle of the Thirty Years War-you’d better be adaptable to survive. And the natives of that time period, faced with American technology and politics, need to be equally adaptable. Here’s a generous helping of more stories of Grantville, the American town lost in time, and its impact on the people and societies of a tumultuous age.

  • Cardinal Richelieu, France’s insidious master plotter and power behind the throne, learns of his prominent role in Dumas’ not-yet-written novel The Three Musketeers (not to mention the several movie versions), and starts a search for the "real" D’Artagnan.
  • Grantville is selling crystal radio sets so that Europeans can tune in to the Voice of America broadcasts, but the technicians from the future are at wit’s end, trying to reproduce "primitive" early twentieth century broadcasting equipment by trial and error-until a trained library researcher shows up in town.
  • Wilhelm Krieger, one of Germany’s greatest philosophers, comes to Grantville to learn the philosophy of the future-and meets a contrarian cracker-barrel philosopher.
  • The Dalai Lama of the seventeenth century receives a strange gift: an image of the Buddha which glows by a strange mystical force called "electricity."And much more, including stories by the New York Times best-selling writers Eric Flint and Virginia DeMarce, in the latest installment of this best-selling alternate history series.

    Description:

    In Paula Goodlett and Gorg Huff’s "Poor Little Rich Girls," we follow the continuing adventures of the teenage tycoons begun by Huff in "The Sewing Circle" (Gazette #1) and "Other People’s Money" (Gazette #3). The focus in this story, however, is on the younger siblings-the so-called Barbie Consortium-and their down-timer associates and enemies.
    Jose Clavell’s "Magdeburg Marines" and Ernest Lutz and John Zeek’s "Elizabeth" depict the early days of two military units after the Ring of Fire: a reborn U.S. Marine Corps trying to adapt to new circumstances, and the First Railway Company, formed to provide logistics using a combination of up-time and down-time methods and technology.
    David Carrico’s "Heavy Metal Music" continues the story of the interaction between up-time and down-time musicians that he began in last issue’s "The Sound of Music."
    In other stories:
    -A German craftsman blackballed by guild masters gets a new start in Karen Bergstralh’s "One Man’s Junk."
    -Grantville has to deal with the tragic accidental deaths of several high school graduates in Kerryn Offord’s "The Class of ’34."
    -In Virginia DeMarce’s "’Til We Meet Again," a widowed up-timer responds to her husband’s death by joining the faculty in the newly-established women’s college in Quedlinburg.
    -Julie Sims’ ex-boyfriend finds a new romance in Russ Rittgers’ "Chip’s Christmas Gift."
    -in Dan Robinson’s "Dice’s Drawings," an American retiree finds a new life and maybe a new love in seventeenth century Germany.
    The fourth volume of the Gazette also contains factual articles dealing with the development of an oil industry, advances in textile and garment manufacture, possible uses of biodiesel technology, and differing views on the prospects of creating a machine gun using the resources and technology available after the Ring of Fire.
    At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

    Description:

    The new United States in central Germany launches a one-plane Doolittle Raid on Paris, France. The target: their arch-enemy, Cardinal Richelieu. Meanwhile, an ambassador from the Mughal Empire of northern India is being held captive in Austria by the Habsburg dynasty. Mike Stearns decides to send a mercenary company to rescue him, led by two seventeenth-century mercenary officers: an Englishman and a Irishman, who seem to spend as much time fighting each other as they do the enemy.
    Mike Spehar’s "Collateral Damage" and Chris Weber’s "The Company Men" are just two of the stories contained in this second volume of the Grantville Gazette. In other stories:
    – a prominent Italian musician decides to travel to Grantville to investigate the music of the future;
    – an American archer and a Finnish cavalryman become friends in the middle of a battlefield;
    – a Lutheran pastor begins a theological challenge to the establishment based on his interpretation of the Ring of Fire;
    – American and German detectives become partners to investigate a murder;
    – and, in the first part of Danita Ewing’s serialized short novel, An Invisible War, the new United States founds a medical school in Jena despite resistance from up-timers and down-timers alike.
    The second volume of Grantville Gazette also contains factual articles which explain some of the technical background for the 1632 series, including articles on practical geology, telecommunications, and seventeenth-century swordsmanship.
    At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
