Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the latest scholarship on Jewish literary products and the ways in which they can be interpreted from three different perspectives. In part 1, contributors consider texts as literature, as cultural products, and as historical documents to demonstrate the many ways that early Jewish, rabbinic, and modern secular Jewish literary works make meaning and can be read meaningfully. Part 2 focuses on exegesis of specific biblical and rabbinic texts as well as medieval Jewish poetry. Part 3 examines medieval and early modern Jewish books as material objects and explores the history, functions, and reception of these material objects. Contributors include Javier del Barco, Elisheva Carlebach, Ezra Chwat, Evelyn M. Cohen, Naftali S. Cohn, William Cutter, Yaacob Dweck, Talya Fishman, Steven D. Fraade, Dalia-Ruth Halperin, Martha Himmelfarb, Marc Hirshman, Tamar Kadari, Israel Knohl, Susanne Klingenstein, Katrin Kogman-Appel, Jon D. Levenson, Paul Mandel, Annett Martini, Jordan S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CIA-connected labor union, an assassination attempt, a mysterious car crash, listening devices, and stolen documents--everything you'd expect from the latest thriller. Yet, this was the reality of Tony Mazzocchi, the Rachel Carson of the U.S. workplace; a dynamic labor leader whose legacy lives on in today's workplaces and ongoing alliances between labor activists and environmentalists, and those who believe in the promise of America. In The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor: The Life and Times of Tony Mazzocchi, author and labor expert Les Leopold recounts the life of the late Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union leader. Mazzocchi's struggle to address the unconscionable toxic exposure of tens of thousands of workers led to the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and included work alongside nuclear whistleblower Karen Silkwood. His noble, high-profile efforts forever changed working conditions in American industry--and made him enemy number one to a powerful few. As early as the 1950s, when the term "environment" was nowhere on the political radar, Mazzocchi learned about nuclear fallout and began integrating environmental concerns into his critique of capitalism and his union work. An early believer in global warming, he believed that the struggle of capital against nature was the irreconcilable contradiction that would force systemic change. Mazzocchi's story of non-stop activism parallels the rise and fall of industrial unionism. From his roots in a pro-FDR, immigrant family in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, through McCarthyism, the Sixties, and the surge of the environmental movement, Mazzocchi took on Corporate America, the labor establishment and a complacent Democratic Party. This profound biography should be required reading for those who believe in taking risks and making the world a better place. While Mazzocchi's story is so full of peril and deception that it seems almost a work of fiction, Leopold proves that the most provocative and lasting stories in life are those of real people.

Yet a great deal of our culture is built on stories or ideas that come from the Bible. Literature, art, music, language and even the fabric of our society - such as our justice system - is built on Christian concepts and biblical references. THE WRITING ON THE WALL provides a fascinating introduction to the Bible's best-known, and most influential, stories.

David’s discipline and passion for excellence are infectious. His peers are drawn to him by his leadership, personality and honest concern for others. These traits set the foundation for success in anything he does whether it’s making Marines in Parris Island, coaching Financial Advisors or his devotion to community service, you would be hard pressed to fi nd another coach for your business with similar attributes". ~Major General James E. Livingston USMC (Ret) , Medal of Honor Recipient “David inspires people to discover and understand their potential and what’s uniquely possible for them. He has a very clear understanding of the current market environment and also where the business is heading to prepare you for what lies ahead. David provides a disciplined process that lets you not only have dreams, but realize them. David can make a difference in your business and in your life.” ~Gregory Mech Former Merril Lynch Managing Director and Market President for Bank of America. There is a sea of motivational speakers and coaches that flood this industry. David Clemenko is not like the rest. When you meet David, you cannot help but be inspired by his stories, his determination, his attitude and his energy. David’s process challenges the norms in this business. He challenges you to be better at meeting the needs of your clients but truly getting to know your clients. His brand of coaching is more than telling you what you know. David does not just give you ideas, he gives you the tools and the coaching to take the idea from the concept stage to the execution stage. Most coaches and motivators will get you to the concept, but fall short in the execution. David makes you answer the toughest question, “How?” Once you have that answer, he works with you to implement your plan. Meeting David transformed by business into a true “advisory” business – where most advisors will never go. Randall B. Cohen Vice President Investments, Merrill Lynch, Charleston, SC

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rape Culture in the House of David: A Company of Men describes a biblical rape culture sustained and maintained by Yhwh and a host of men—from royal kings and princes to their relatives, counselors, generals, and servants. This volume reveals that sexual violence in the house of David is not simply perpetrated by its most powerful men. Rather, in the pursuit of power, status, authority, and honor, men form alliances and networks that support the use and abuse of women’s bodies and valorize sexualized violence against other men. The man who is most capable of sexual violence is Israel’s ideal king. Barbara Thiede deftly addresses the power and contemporary relevance of these narratives and argues that exposing and naming rape culture in biblical literature is essential—in social, economic, and political realms. This is a meaningful feminist intervention in the field of biblical studies and is of great benefit to graduate students and scholars of religion, gender studies, and masculinity studies.
