Let My People Go
Author: Jerry GrunorPublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595367690
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
As today's events unfold in the world we live in, we should learn and remember, and we shall overcome all of our enemies if not, forgive them. The people of Israel have made a commitment that no country shall ever succeed in enslaving them again. The lore of revolt and the spirit of freedom will sustain the people of Israel and their children, as they become their own enemies as well. This is the story of one country and its people, their life as a struggle; their death heroism; their sacrifice sacred; their memory eternal. Because Jewish history through the ages has a rich record of martyrs who willingly laid down their lives for the principles of right and justice. Many were those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of the Jewish faith and of the Jewish homeland, including those in the second century BCE. Let My People Go is based on actual correspondence, some of which was presented by Prime Minister Menachem Begin about Dov Gruner. Dov is author Jerry Grunor's cousin, who fought with Mr. Begin in the early 1940s for the independence of Israel.

Book Description
"The last great work of the age of reason, the final instance when all human knowledge could be presented with a single point of view ... Unabashed optimism, and unabashed racism, pervades many entries in the 11th, and provide its defining characteristics ... Despite its occasional ugliness, the reputation of the 11th persists today because of the staggering depth of knowledge contained with its volumes. It is especially strong in its biographical entries. These delve deeply into the history of men and women prominent in their eras who have since been largely forgotten - except by the historians, scholars"-- The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2012/apr/10/encyclopedia-britannica-11th-edition.

Legend-Tripping Online
Author: Michael KinsellaPublisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1604739843
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
On the Internet, seekers investigate anonymous manifestos that focus on the findings of brilliant scientists said to have discovered pathways into alternate realities. Gathering on web forums, researchers not only share their observations, but also report having anomalous experiences, which they believe come from their online involvement with these veiled documents. Seeming logic combines with wild twists of lost Moorish science and pseudo-string theory. Enthusiasts insist any obstacle to revelation is a sure sign of great and wide-reaching efforts by consensus powers wishing to suppress all the liberating truths in the Incunabula Papers (included here in complete form). In Legend-Tripping Online, Michael Kinsella explores these and other extraordinary pursuits. This is the first book dedicated to legend-tripping, ritual quests in which people strive to explore and find manifest the very events described by supernatural legends. Through collective performances, legend-trippers harness the interpretive frameworks these stories provide and often claim incredible, out-of-this-world experiences that in turn perpetuate supernatural legends. Legends and legend-tripping are assuming tremendous prominence in a world confronting new speeds of diversification, connection, and increasing cognitive load. As guardians of tradition as well as agents of change, legends and the ordeals they inspire contextualize ancient and emergent ideas, behaviors, and technologies that challenge familiar realities. This book analyzes supernatural legends and the ways in which the sharing spirit of the internet collectivizes, codifies, and makes folklore of fantastic speculation.
