Book Description
First Published in 1993. In the 1970s, a book collecting research about the mass media and their role in disasters would have been unimaginable. This book, then, is an attempt to compile a somewhat eclectic view of research on mass communication and catastrophe. The editors have attempted to provide a sampling of the most recent empirical work on the mass media and disasters, including everything from content analysis of media reports to studies of audience response to those events.

Book Description
Winston Churchill, the great wartime leader and peacetime Prime Minister, is one of the dominating figures of the 20th century. In this stimulating and original book, David Dilks - the eminent historian of modern Britain and a leading Churchill scholar - provides a fascinating source of new discoveries and insights. He shows Churchill, not only as a war leader and international statesman, but also as a private person - with a rich variety of interests, enthusiasms, friendships and rivalries. Churchill's relations with other leading politicians and statesmen of the age - both within Britain and internationally - illuminate his handling of friends and enemies. Sometimes these categories were not easily separated; for a long while, Churchill thought of Stalin as a friend or at least a comrade in arms, and only with extreme reluctance did he come to look upon him ultimately as an enemy. He regarded Roosevelt with admiration and gratitude, yet the balance of evidence suggests that the President felt less warmly towards him, especially after 1943. Dilks casts new and penetrating light on Churchill during World War II, including his dramatic and troubled relationship with Charles de Gaulle - where political problems were softened by Churchill's love of France. The aftermath of World War II, relations with Stalin, the Soviet Union and the Cold War all dominated Churchill's subsequent career. The last chapter draws attention to the influence of 'history' on statesmen and others, not least because no public man of the last century - with the possible exception of de Gaulle - has influenced on Churchill's scale, or with his effectiveness, the writing and the making of history. Whether in or out of office, Churchill's influence has been felt in all areas of British politics and national life. David Dilks brings Churchill to life for all those interested modern British and international history whether student, specialist or general reader.

Book Description
More than any other topic, prophecy represents the point at which the Divine meets the human, the Absolute meets the relative. How can a human being attain the Word of God? In what manner does God, when conceived as eternal and transcendent, address corporeal, transitory creatures? What happens to God's divine Truth when it is beheld by minds limited in their power to apprehend, and influenced by the intellectual currents of their time and place? How were these issues viewed by the great Jewish philosophers of the past, who took the divine communication and all it entails seriously, while at the same time desired to understand it as much as humanly possible in the course of dealing with a myriad of other issues that occupied their attention? This book offers an in-depth study of prophecy in the thought of seven of the leading medieval Jewish philosophers: R. Saadiah Gaon, R. Judah Halevi, Maimonides, Gersonides, R. Hasdai Crescas, R. Joseph Albo and Baruch Spinoza. It attempts to capture the `original voice' of these thinkers by looking at the intellectual milieus in which they developed their philosophies, and by carefully analyzing their views in their textual contexts. It also deals with the relation between the earlier approaches and the later ones. Overall, this book presents a significant model for narrating the history of an idea.

Book Description
HH: The Book of The Traits – Saifehr Hameedoas - part 1 was authored by Rabbi Nachman when he was still a young child, Rabbi Nachman also called this holy book, The Aleph Beth Book because it alphabetically charts all the influences, nuances, and manifestations of human CHARACTER. Part 2 was authored much later and is infinitely more profound. Many of the imports are seemingly found in the Oral Torah, and different scholars have documented those that are explicit, and challenged themselves to find sources and hints in the Torah to those that are not. In this special edition, some of the notes and insights of the translator are published in Hebrew at the back of the book. Rabbi Nachman professed that he drew these teachings from their very loftiest root and are not simple quotations, even the order they are presented in, is intrinsic to the teachings, one can and should understand each entry in light of the neighboring teachings. Rabbi Nachman held this book in extremely high regard, stating that it was integral in making him a Jew. He urged his adherents to be proficient in this holy book. Rabbi Nachman always stressed and made abundantly clear that the main purpose and intent of the Torah is to apply it practically, one should pray to merit to realize and accomplish each and every teaching, and fully commit and devote himself to attaining the concepts taught. This book which presents the attributes of all the traits is thus a most excellent tool for a person to actually bring the Torah to fruition, to properly and effectively fix and perfect one's character and achieve that which the Holy Merciful One G-d desires from us. Breslov Hasidim would therefore take this book with them to study wherever they went, especially since it is very suited even for casual and intermittent study. As with everything that emanated from Rabbi Nachman, every word can be understood at the most simplest level and also on the deepest and most esoteric kaballistic comprehension. That is why this critical translation was done with painstaking examination of every word and letter to provide the most accurate, loyal, and authoritative translation to the reader, while offering the original Hebrew text so that the ultimate meaning can be attained. Rabbi Nachman revealed and taught the most simple and profound life lessons, yet the world had a hard time accepting these bare truths and thus he was considered very controversial. However in modern times, when everything is being exposed, and many fields and areas of human nature, development, and self improvement are being pursued ardently even in the secular community, people are becoming increasingly appreciative of the superlative status of Rabbi Nachman in his role as the master of the Jewish people and educator of all of mankind. People are discovering how Rabbi Nachman speaks to the modern man and woman like no other, directly addressing the very nature of their day to day trials and tribulations. In his teachings Rabbi Nachman is telling them, I've been there, and I'm there right now with you, and this is the way we have to come to grips with what is going on. This holy book should obviously be studied from cover to cover, however one should also consult it to look up a particular trait or matter at hand. Also, at any given time when seeking guidance or inspiration, one can open this holy book randomly and see the direction indicated by the teachings presented there. This is an extremely holy book, and just having it one's possession provides great benefit. Rabbi Nachmans said that every teaching of his, has a story (Life of Rabbi Nachman 94), and it has a melody, and a dance (ibid 340). If one were to only see and hear the Torah with its melody and dance, he would be completely nullified, his soul stretched to its utmost with longing, from the utter extremely wondrous and fabulous exquisite pleasure. May we merit to experience this with this holy book, in the merit of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman.
