Описание: While the conflicts and national aspirations in British mandatory Palestine in particular and the Middle East in general were evident before the outbreak of the Second World War, the war itself accelerated and enhanced national expectations and presented continuing tactical and strategic dilemmas to British, Arab and Jewish leaders. British strategic policy during the war failed to provide answers to the political issues of the growing national demands in Palestine, and led to severe distrust of British policy among Arabs and Jews, as the two communities were framing mostly opposing reactions to wartime developments, and to conflicting expectations and policies towards post-war solutions for Palestine. The aim of this work is to analyse the continual development of strategic plans and political dilemmas that arose during the war period, which led to the subsequent post-war circumstance where American and Soviet involvement impacted on the strategic thinking of all involved parties, notwithstanding the British military victory. Analysis includes: the pre-war British strategic situation in Palestine, and the war events in Palestine and its Middle East neighbour countries (at the military-strategic level and the repercussions of the outcome of the war for the local Palestinian population). At the heart of the discussion lies British interests and policies framed towards Jews and Arabs; analysis of the two communities conflicting interests and policies; and the resultant sea-change in the establishment of the Jewish state which brought in its wake the emergence of a New Middle East.
Описание: This is the Black & White issue, a full color issue is available under the same title on createspace.comThe Mysteries of our spiritual evolution concealed in the Tarot has taken a considerable amount of time to come to light for the masses. Most people tend to think that Tarot cards first appeared in the Middle Ages, however, many believe the basic images of the Major Arcana may have existed for thousands of years. In general, the Tarot was treated as a tool for divination. Then in the early 20th century Arthur Edward Waite commissioned Pamela Coleman Smith to create a new deck using the mystical teachings of the Golden Dawn. Known as the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, it was published in 1910, and began a revival of interest in understanding the deeper messages in the Tarot images. One such investigator was a Jewish rabbi, who studied the images from the Kabbalistic perspective. Taking his investigation as far as he could, the rabbi sought out a Jesuit priest who became so intrigued that he left the priesthood and devoted the next 40 years to its study. My involvement began when after meeting the ex-priest in the mid-70s, he became my mentor and close confidant. One day he handed me a box full of papers with the instructions that I was to collate the information and after adding my interpretation of the symbols, arrange it into a manuscript for publishing. This proved to be no easy task and required me establishing my own publishing company to bring the book to print in 1987. Following my publication of the book, Llewellyn Publishers became interested and published two printings of the book in the early 90s. In 2007, I decided to revise the manuscript and as owner of the copyright, publish this new version through my publishing company. Looking for endorsements for the back cover, I contacted Craig and Suzzan Babcock asking them if I could use excerpts of the letter they sent me endorsing the book. Not surprisingly they agreed, which started our long association together. Suzzan confided that she had experienced an extremely detailed a powerful vision connecting the 22 Major Arcana with the Tree of Life. It seemed to me that she was being motivated to add another level to the work, but it was not until she contacted me in 2014 suggesting that we republish The Rabbi's Tarot that I saw what her contribution would be. First, she has recolored all the cards according to my symbolism, bringing them to life in a very real way. Still, this was not her most important role. That has come from her inspired commentary, which brings in many other aspects and takes the messages of the cards to another level.In this book resides the following sentence. "The teaching of Tarot and the esoteric teaching of Scripture narrative is that the self-conscious, by assiduous endeavor, may bring into your body (and your body is your self-conscious) more and more of the superconscious in the form of Cosmic Mind-Stuff." It is this Cosmic Mind-Stuff, an energetic manifestation of sorts, which finds its way into our world when allowed. I believe it found not only the Rabbi and the Priest before me, but also Suzzan in its effort of coming forth for all humanity.

Описание: The role of human sacrifice in the ancient Mediterranean world and its implications continue to be topics that fire the popular imagination and engender scholarly discussion and controversy. This volume provides balanced and judicious treatments of the various facets of these topics from a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. It provides nuanced examinations of ancient ritual, exploring the various meanings that human sacrifice held for antiquity, and examines its varied repercussions up into the modern world. The book explores evidence to shed new light on the origins of the rite, to whom these sacrifices were offered, and by whom they were performed. It presents fresh insights into the social and religious meanings of this practice in its varied biblical landscape and ancient contexts, and demonstrates how human sacrifice has captured the imagination of later writers who have employed it in diverse cultural and theological discourses to convey their own views and ideologies. It provides valuable perspectives for understanding key cultural, theological and ideological dimensions, such as the sacrifice of Christ, scapegoating,self-sacrifice and martyrdom in post-biblical and modern times.

Considers how research in psychology offers new perspectives on property law, and suggests avenues of reform Property law governs the acquisition, use and transfer of resources. It resolves competing claims to property, provides legal rules for transactions, affords protection to property from interference by the state, and determines remedies for injury to property rights. In seeking to accomplish these goals, the law of property is concerned with human cognition and behavior. How do we allocate property, both initially and over time, and what factors determine the perceived fairness of those distributions? What social and psychological forces underlie determinations that certain uses of property are reasonable? What remedies do property owners prefer? The Psychology of Property Law explains how assumptions about human judgement, decision-making and behavior have shaped different property rules and examines to what extent these assumptions are supported by the research. Employing key findings from psychology, the book considers whether property law’s goals could be achieved more successfully with different rules. In addition, the book highlights property laws and conflicts that offer productive areas for further behaviorally-informed research. The book critically addresses several topics from property law for which psychology has a great deal to contribute. These include ownership and possession, legal protections for residential and personal property, takings of property by the state, redistribution through property law, real estate transactions, discrimination in housing and land use, and remedies for injury to property.

Описание:
This is an original reading of Mikhail Bakhtin in the context of Western philosophical traditions and counter-traditions. The book portrays Bakhtin as a Modernist thinker torn between an ideological secularity and a profound religious sensibility, invariably concerned with questions of ethics and impelled to turn from philosophy to literature as another way of knowing.
Most major studies of Bakhtin highlight the fragmented and apparently discontinuous nature of his work. Erdinast-Vulcan emphasizes, instead, the underlying coherence of the Bakhtinian project, reading its inherent ambivalences as an intersection of philosophical, literary, and psychological insights into the dynamics of embodied subjectivity. Bakhtin's turn to literature and poetry, as well as the dissatisfactions that motivated it, align him with three other "exilic" Continental philosophers who were his contemporaries: Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas. Adopting Bakhtin's own open-ended approach to the human sciences, the book stages a series of philosophical encounters between these thinkers, highlighting their respective itineraries and impasses, and generating a Bakhtinian synergy of ideas.
