Book Description
"What do we really know about the impending Caribbean Court of Justice? The vexed issue of the Court's establishment has been the subject of much debate but how much of this debate is informed by the facts? This book bridges the information gap and provides an authoritative guide to the composition, function and administration of this new Court. In a comprehensive yet clear and concise style, the reader is given a background to the more contentious issues such as the funding of the Court, its constitutionality, its original and appellate jurisdiction and the process of delinking from the Privy Council.

Book Description
IsraEL 2023 is a near-future tour of Israel in the year 2023. The main character arrives to Israel for her nieces wedding in Jerusalem, which she has not visited in over a decade. She shares anecdotes and impressions of the country as she travels the land. She encounters characters whom explain to her the various changes which the country underwent, including demographic, more religious population majority, economic changes and upheavals, geopolitical changes of the neighborhood, and different bilateral relations with allies. We travel with the character as she traverses across the land of Israel as she visits places of her birth and nostalgic locales from the past: Hadera, Caeserea, Karmiel, Haifa, Jaffa, Herzliya, Dead Sea. She also visits new installations, like the MEGA Military Base in the south, and she visits with former Shimon Peres in his offices in Jaffa. The year 2023 coincides with the seventy-fifth anniversary of the state of Israel, and the country is celebrating this major anniversary in its own special type of parade. IsraEL 2023 is a satirical depiction and humoristic fiction. The book is brief to allow the reader a bite-size taste of the satire and the publisher to implement the project in a timely manner close to the elections. It may resonate with the book Soumission by the French author Michel Houllebecq. As the days of pivotal March 2015 election neared, leaving Israel at a historic crossroads, the news emerging from Israel left my manuscript closer to a prophecy rather than a satirical comedy. The book will be of interest not only to Israelis living in the country but also to the international Jewish Diaspora and readership in Arab countries curious about domestic developments in their neighboring country.

Book Description
In July 2006, a major international conference was held at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada, to celebrate the career and work of a remarkable man of letters. Abner Shimony, who is well known for his pioneering contributions to foundations of quantum mechanics, is a physicist as well as a philosopher, and is highly respected among the intellectuals of both communities. In line with Shimony’s conviction that philosophical investigation is not to be divorced from theoretical and empirical work in the sciences, the conference brought together leading theoretical physicists, experimentalists, as well as philosophers. This book collects twenty-three original essays stemming from the conference, on topics including history and methodology of science, Bell's theorem, probability theory, the uncertainty principle, stochastic modifications of quantum mechanics, and relativity theory. It ends with a transcript of a fascinating discussion between Lee Smolin and Shimony, ranging over the entire spectrum of Shimony's wide-ranging contributions to philosophy, science, and philosophy of science.
