Book Description
As the book explains clearly, Einstein's dramatic papers of 1905 overthrew the Newtonian worldview and revolutionized our understanding of space, time, energy, matter, and light. His work had impact far beyond the field of physics, playing a leading role in the century's technological advances and influencing modernism in every field. Except for his last interview that was previously published, all the essays here are original works written especially for this book. The photographs draw on an exceptional archive Einstein bequeathed to Hebrew University in Jerusalem. --Provided by the publisher.

Book Description
Steven Bradley Blinn was born in Philadelphia in the early 1960s. He was a very outgoing boy and enjoyed reading and sports. He attended Hebrew school two times a week. Steve's school had students from different cultural groups and his neighborhood was predominately Jewish. From an early age, Steve remembers his Bubba (grandma) and Zada (grandpa) telling stories of the old days. Anti-Semitism loomed large in Europe. His ancestors had to leave Europe to escape the Russian Pogroms and the Nazis. They fled to find freedom and avoid persecution because they were Jewish. They journeyed to America to be free. At this young age, Steve couldn't understand why people would harm and kill each other simply because of their culture or religious beliefs. Steve was a typical American teenager. He enjoyed sports and getting together with friends. Summer jobs included gas station attendant, valet, hospital janitor and soda jerk. In high school, Steve excelled at football and baseball, playing for the varsity team. During his junior year, he became interested in the military. His friend's brother served in the Navy and invited Steve to tour his base. This inspired Steve to serve his country and help make the world a safer place for people of all cultures and religions. After four years at Virginia Military Institute, Steve graduated #1 in his ROTC class with a B.S. in Biology. The graduation ceremony took place in May 1986 and included Steve taking his oath to serve as a Naval Aviation Officer. He was elated and ready to assume his duties. He attended flight school in Pensacola, Florida and received his wings in August 1987. Lieutenant Blinn joined his sea-going squadron VAQ-137 and deployed on his first cruise on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. America. The cruise lasted eight months in the Mediterranean Sea. In November 1990, Lieutenant Blinn deployed on his second cruise to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to participate in the Iraqi Conflict called Operation Desert Storm. The purpose of this mission was to stop Saddam Hussein and the Iraqis from occupying and killing the people of Kuwait. They were very greedy and wanted to take over the oil fields that belonged to the Kuwaiti people. Kuwait didn't have a strong military and couldn't defend themselves, so the United States stepped in for their liberation. Lieutenant Blinn flew 25 combat missions totaling 104 combat hours over Iraq. He flew an EA-6B Prowler aircraft jet which jammed enemy radar and carried missiles which were used to destroy enemy radar. Operation Desert Storm ended on February 28, 1991. When Lieutenant Blinn came home to Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a big party was held in his honor. At the party, the mayor, Susan Bass Levin, presented him with a plaque to acknowledge his service to our country in Operation Desert Storm. Lt. Steve Blinn finished his service to the United States Navy on February 28, 1995. Today, he lives in the Midwest with his wife and children. He works in the logistics industry for one of the top U.S. rail transportation companies. He actively participates in community service work for veterans and supports his youngest daughter in her patriotic endeavors as a State Officer with the National Society Children of the American Revolution.

Book Description
In this book Kathleen Biddick investigates the fate of the enduring timelines fabricated by early Christians to distinguish themselves from their Jewish neighbors. Ranging widely across the history of text, technology, and book art, she relates three interwoven stories: the Christians' translation of circumcision into a graphic problem of writing on the heart; the temporal construction of Christian notions of history based on the binary supersession of an Old Testament past by the present of a new dispensation; and the traumatic repetition of the graphic cutting off of Christians from Jews in academic history and anthropology. Moving beyond well-studied theological polemics, Biddick works from the relatively unfamiliar vantage point of the graphic technologies used in medieval and early modern texts and print sources, from maps to trial transcripts to universal histories. Addressing current concerns about the posthuman condition by linking them to a deeper genealogy of disembodiment at the technological heart of imaginary fantasies, she argues that such supersessionary practices extend to contemporary psychoanalytic and postcolonial texts, even as they propose alternative ways of thinking about memory and temporality. Crucial to Biddick's study is the ethical challenge of unbinding the typological imaginary, not in order to disavow theological difference but rather to open up the encounter between Christian and Jew to less deadening teleological readings. Making a significant contribution to the large debate over the transition from "scriptural" to "scientific" culture in Europe, The Typological Imaginary also succeeds in shedding light on the centrality of Jews to medieval and Enlightenment history.

Book Description
Is western civilisation based on a mistaken understanding of humanity? Fundamental to any society is its comprehension of human nature. It shapes attitudes and policies on a whole range of issues: interpersonal relations, child-rearing, discipline and punishment, economics and welfare. For millennia western societies were based on the idea that human nature is flawed. This was turned upside down 300 years ago during the Enlightenment by writers such as Rousseau, who argued that we are born good and later warped by parents and society; a liberal view of human nature which is now being challenged by scientific discoveries in the fields of the mind, the brain, and genetics (including the Human Genome), evolutionary psychology, and anthropology. This fundamental change has had profound effects. If we are essentially good then we can safely maximize freedom and abandon morality, religion and tradition. Many aspects of life have been liberalised - sexual behaviour, alcohol consumption, censorship, gambling, divorce laws and economic activity. Economic liberals thought free markets were rational and good and favoured minimal government interference and light-touch regulations. This led to the credit crunch and the greatest financial crisis since World War Two. Many parents now hesitate to discipline their own children. The belief that we are essentially good but corrupted by society has also influenced penal policy. Liberals see criminals as victims, not as wrongdoers; because surely no-one would choose to do something wrong. This is a world far removed from the self-sacrifice and fraternity shown during World War Two. It has not brought happiness but rather more alienated individuals. The outcome of egalitarian aims or methods has often missed its mark: e.g., in education it has led to the dumbing down of academic standards, grade inflation and a decline in social mobility. Egalitarian regimes from the French Revolution to the Soviet era have been amongst the most bigoted, brutal and bloody in history. The drive for greater social justice and fairness must remain an essential objective. There is, therefore, an urgent need to separate out the positive from the negative aspects of liberal thought and practice, as otherwise there is the risk of descent into moral anarchy and social disintegration.

Book Description
Can science and religion coexist in harmony? Or is conflict inevitable? In this volume an international team of distinguished scholars addresses these enduring yet urgent questions by examining the lives of thirteen eminent twentieth-century scientists whose careers were marked by the interaction of science and religion: Rachel Carson, Charles A. Coulson, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Arthur S. Eddington, Albert Einstein, Ronald A. Fisher, Julian Huxley, Pascual Jordan, Robert A. Millikan, Ivan P. Pavlov, Michael I. Pupin, Abdus Salam, and Edward O. Wilson. The richly empirical studies show a diversity of creative engagements between science and religion that defy efforts to set the two at odds.

Book Description
With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible. This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material. The research has thrown up some fascinating results
