"This book chronicles the long hunt for Nazi war criminals and the swift justice they are dealt by Jewish avengers.…
Beginning with accounts of Jewish vengeance, the book then describes the complicated escape plans of top Nazi leaders and their underground aid network, and ends in Mato Grosso, the jungle located on the Brazilian and Argentine borders that, when the book was written, was a sort of renegade Nazi badland." -- Provided by NLS.

important Jewish texts (after the Bible), which were compiled in Palestine and Babylonia in the latter centuries of Late Antiquity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past century, very little scholarship has been written on it in English. Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous articles written in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and lexicon. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and constitutes the first in a new series, Studies in Semitic Languages and Cultures, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.

that expound exclusively about karawitan (the combined vocal and instrumental music of the gamelan). Scholar Judith Becker has culled several key sources on karawitan into three volumes and has translated them for the benefit of the Western student of the gamelan tradition. The texts in her collection were written over a forty-five-year time period (ca 1930–1975) and include articles by Martopangrawit, Sumarsam, Sastrapustaka, Gitosaprodjo, Sindoesawarno, Poerbapangrawit, Probohardjono, Warsadiningrat, Purbodiningrat, Poerbatjaraka, and Paku Buwana X. The final volume also contains a glossary of technical terms, an appendix of the Javanese cipher notations (titilaras kepatihan), a biographical listing, and an index to the musical pieces (Gendhing).

This volume offers a new English translation, introduction, and detailed commentary on Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov, (The Rectifying of the Curved), a…
14th-century Hebrew treatise on the foundation of geometry. The book is a mixture of two genres: philosophical discussion and formal, Euclidean-type geometrical writing. A central issue is the use of motion and superposition in geometry, which is analyzed in depth through dialog with earlier Arab mathematicians. The author, Alfonso, was identified by Gita Gluskina (the editor of the 1983 Russian edition) as Alfonso of Valladolid, the converted Jew Abner of Burgos. Alfonso lived in Castile, rather far from the leading cultural centers of his time, but nonetheless at the crossroad of three cultures. He was raised in the Jewish tradition and like many Sephardic Jewish intellectuals was versed in Greek-Arabic philosophy and science. He also had connections with some Christian nobles and towards the end of his life converted to Christianity. Driven by his ambition to solve the problem of the quadrature of the circle, as well as other open geometrical problems, Alfonso acquired surprisingly wide knowledge and became familiar with several episodes in Greek and Arabic geometry that historians usually consider not to have been known in the West in the fourteenth century. Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov reflects his wide and deep erudition in mathematics and philosophy, and provides new evidence on cultural transmission around the Mediterranean.

mereka belum lahir. Persoalan kutuk sudah lama diabaikan, dan kami merasa itu perlu diungkapkan di sini. Kita mulai dengan masuk ke dalam ayat-ayat Alkitab agar mengetahui apa yang sebenarnya difirmankan Tuhan tentang hal itu, cara kerjanya, dan cara kita agar benar-benar bebas darinya. Kutuk keturunan sangat penting sehingga Tuhan memasukkannya dalam tabel 10 Perintah Allah. Begitu banyak orang yang diikat oleh musuh dengan alat perbudakan yang tidak terlihat dan tidak bisa dikenali. Dalam pembahasan ini, kita akan diajari cara untuk meremukkan belenggu yang berasal dari musuh ini. Kita menelusuri lebih dalam ke area seperti penyembahan berhala (Termasuk Halloween), amoralitas, pengkhianatan, pencurian, pembunuhan, dll. Saya yakin ketika Anda membaca buku ini dan menyelidiki kebenarannya, akan ada dorongan dalam diri Anda untuk menguji diri sendiri serta melakukan upaya yang disengaja untuk hidup dalam kekudusan jika bukan untuk diri sendiri, setidaknya demi kepentingan anak-anak Anda dan generasi yang belum lahir.

Pedagang mainan seks mengumpulkan miliaran dolar setiap tahun. Produk mereka sangat beragam dan hari ini tersedia di setiap bagian dunia.…
Sekarang, ini mirip seperti bisnis yang secara artifisial atau teknologi merangsang dan memuaskan hasrat seksual sedang trendi. Orang lajang, sudah menikah, tua, muda, saat ini menjadi pelanggan setia toko-toko mainan seks dan produsennya, secara bijak juga, terus membuat alat-alat yang lebih menarik dan canggih. Sepertinya kecerdasan inovatif mereka tidak berhenti untuk menemukan alat-alat pemuas seksual baru ini. Saat ini beberapa alat ini bertindak dan berperilaku persis seperti pasangan lawan jenis dalam bertindak. Benar. Namun di sini, kita ingin melihat asal, niat, dan akibat dari alat ini bagi pemakai, terutama implikasi secara rohani serta psikologis. Mainan seks bukan barang baru. Mainan seks memiliki sejarah panjang yang dimulai dengan pemakaian benda-benda ukiran yang melambangkan penis. Bangsa Romawi, Yunani, Tionghoa, Asia, dan India kuno sudah memakai benda-benda ukiran yang terbuat dari batu, besi, emas, kayu, serta bahan lainnya untuk mendorong masturbasi. Beberapa di antaranya (seperti bangsa Yunani) menyembah dewa dan dewi seks; di situlah benda-benda inilah ditampilkan, dipakai, dan perbuatan amoral seksual juga dipromosikan secara luas, termasuk hubungan seks dengan iblis serta roh. Jadi, kita bisa sepantasnya mengatakan bahwa dasar dari mainan seks berasal dari hasrat untuk kesenangan ‘tanpa batas’ dan penyembahan para dewa iblis. Penemuan ini berubah menjadi benda lain dan pada abad ke-20 kita melihat vibrator listrik pertama ditemukan. Sejak saat itu, banyak sekali buku petunjuk tentang hal ini dan kemudian menjadi alat kesenangan seksual yang canggih. Beberapa di antaranya bisa berkedip dan berbicara! Wow! Sekarang, apakah mainan seks termasuk dalam rencana semula Tuhan? Dan karena hubungan seksual adalah pertalian secara jasmani, emosi, serta rohani, apakah ini memiliki efek samping sec

Philosophy
"In one fashion or another, the question with which this introduction begins is a question for every serious reader of…
Plato's Republic: Of what use is this philosophy to me? Averroes clearly finds that the Republic speaks to his own time and to his own situation. . . . Perhaps the greatest use he makes of the Republic is to understand better the shari'a itself. . . . It is fair to say that in deciding to paraphrase the Republic, Averroes is asserting that his world--the world defined and governed by the Koran--can profit from Plato's instruction."--from Ralph Lerner's IntroductionAn indispensable primary source in medieval political philosophy is presented here in a fully annotated translation of the celebrated discussion of the Republic by the twelfth-century Andalusian Muslim philosopher, Abu'l-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd, also know by his his Latinized name, Averroes. This work played a major role in both the transmission and the adaptation of the Platonic tradition in the West. In a closely argued critical introduction, Ralph Lerner addresses several of the most important problems raised by the work.

running exposition, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Ørberg's Familia Romana, and includes the complete text of the Ørberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and Latin–English Vocabulary. It also serves as a substitute for Ørberg's Latine Disco, on which it is based. As it includes no exercises, however, it is not a substitute for the Ørberg ancillary Exercitia Latina I. Though designed especially for those approaching Familia Romana at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit layout of Familia Romana's inductively-presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the Second Edition also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.
