2020Vitamin D
The healing power of the sunshine vitamin
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

True stories2019District D
by Artem Chekh
District D is a collection of stories united through a common time period and location, from which gradually emerges a portrait of the author against the backdrop of “other shores,” on which his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood passed. The book paints a self-critical portrait of the author in which one can discern the features of husbandry and cosmopolitanism, pettiness and magnanimity, and much else. Simultaneously, it paints a group portrait of a few dozen more or less registered residents of the aforementioned Cherkasy district with their more or less successful attempts at surviving the unexpected transition from post-soviet to newly independent Ukraine. According to the author, District D served as therapy for his own traumatic experiences because he wrote it while serving in the war: “I would write it out of me and would feel better; I escaped from that war and those experiences into writing.”

AUSGRABUNG DER STADT DAVIDS
by Ronny Reich
AUSGRABUNG DER STADT DAVIDS – Wo die Geschichte Jerusalems begann Von Ronny Reich Die archäologische Forschung der vergangenen 150 Jahre hat den südöstlichen Hügel Jerusalems, außerhalb der alten Stadtmauern, als die biblische Stadt Davids identifiziert. Die wachsende Erkenntnis, dass dieser Hügel tatsächlich der älteste Teil von Jerusalem ist, hat viele Gelehrte dazu bewegt, sie auzugraben. Seit den ersten Ausgrabungen 1867 von Charles Warren bis zur Gegenwart haben hier vierzehn archäologische Expeditionen Ausgrabungen vorgenommen, was die Stadt Davids zu einer der aktivsten Ausgrabungsstätten in Israel macht. Britische, deutsche, französische und israelische Teams haben hier unter vier verschiedenen Regierungen (ottomanisches Reich, britisches Mandat, jordanische Verwaltung und Israel) Ausgrabungen durchgeführt, was zu einer eindrucksvollen Ansammlung von Daten geführt hat. Einige dieser Fundstätten sind besonders wichtig, darunter der Siloam Tunnel, das Schaftsystem von Warren, die Schriften von Siloam, die Schriften von Theodotos und der Teich von Siloam. Jüngere Ausgrabungen an der Stadt Davids haben eindrucksvolle Funde von Befestigungen aus der mittleren Bronzezeit in der Nähe von Gihon Spring und Überreste des Teichs von Siloam ans Tageslicht gebracht, die zurück bis in die Periode des zweiten Tempels reichen. Der Tunnel von Siloam ist mittlerweile gründlich dokumentiert und untersucht worden. Dieses Buch beginnt mit einer chronologischen Übersicht über anderthalb Jahrhunderte von Ausgrabungen und Studien des Hügels der Stadt Davids. Es fasst anschließend die Geschichte des Hügels zusammen von prähistorischen Zeiten bis zum Ende der ottomanischen Periode. Es stellt eine aktuelle Zusammenfassung vergangener und jüngerer archäologischer Entdeckungen vor, von denen viele hier zum ersten Mal präsentiert werden und die unser Denken über die antike Geschichte Jerusalems dramatisch verändert haben. Ronny Reich nimmt seit über vierzig Jahren an Ausgrabungen und Studien von antiken Stätten in Jerusalem teil.Von 1969 bis 1978 nahm er an den von Professor Nahman Avigad geleiteten Ausgrabungen im jüdischen Viertel Jerusalems teil.Seit 1995 ist er Co-Direktor der Ausgrabungen in der Stadt Davids.Professor Reich verfügt über einen Abschluss der Hebrew University in Jerusalem, wo er seine Dissertation zum Ph.D. über jüdische Ritualbäder in der zweiten Tempelperiode verfasste.Seit 1995 ist er Professor für Archäologie an der Universität von Haifa.2000 erhielt er den Jerusalem Preis für archäologische Forschung. 27 x 22 cm, 382 Seiten, Hardcover, zahlreiche Schwarzweiß- und Farbillustrationen.

EXCAVANDO LA CIUDAD DE DAVID
by Ronny Reich
EXCAVANDO LA CIUDAD DE DAVID – El lugar en el que comenzף la historia de Jerusalיn Las investigaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en los 150 últimos años han identificado a la colina sudoriental de Jerusalén, fuera de las murallas de la Ciudad Vieja, como la Ciudad de David bíblica. El reconocimiento cada vez mayor de que esta colina es efectivamente la parte más antigua de Jerusalén ha llevado a muchos estudiosos a excavarla. Desde las primeras excavaciones hechas por Charles Warren en 1867 hasta el presente, catorce expediciones arqueológicas han trabajado allí, lo que ha hecho que la Ciudad de David sea uno de los sitios más excavados de Israel. Equipos británicos, alemanes, franceses e israelíes han excavado en el lugar bajo cuatro autoridades diferentes: el gobierno otomano, el mandato británico, el gobierno jordano y el israelí y han producido una asombrosa cantidad de información. Algunos de estos restos son de importancia única, entre ellos el túnel de Ezequías, el sistema de túneles conocido como el pozo de Warren, la inscripción del túnel de Siloé, la inscripción de Teodoto, y el estanque de Siloé. Excavaciones recientes efectuadas en la Ciudad de David han revelado vestigios impresionantes de fortificaciones de la Edad de Bronce Medio alrededor de la fuente de Gihón y restos del estanque de Siloé, que datan del período del Segundo Templo. El túnel de Siloé ha sido ahora ampliamente documentado y estudiado. Este libro comienza por una reseña cronológica de un siglo y medio de excavaciones y de estudio de la colina de la Ciudad de David. Dicha reseña resume la historia de la colina, desde épocas prehistóricas hasta el final del período otomano. Presenta un resumen actualizado de hallazgos arqueológicos pasados y recientes, muchos de los cuales, que se presentan aquí por primera vez, han cambiado drásticamente lo que pensábamos acerca de la historia antigua de Jerusalén. Ronny Reich excava y estudia las antigüedades de Jerusalén hace ya más de cuarenta años. De 1969 a 1978 tomó parte en las excavaciones dirigidas por el catedrático Nahman Avigad en el Barrio Judío de Jerusalén. Desde 1995 ha sido co-director de las excavaciones en la Ciudad de David. El profesor Reich es egresado de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, donde escribió su tesis de doctorado acerca de los baños rituales judíos en la época del Segundo Templo. Desde 1995 es catedrático de Arqueología en la Universidad de Haifa. En 2000 se le otorgó el Premio Jerusalén de Investigación Arqueológica. 27×22 cm, 382 páginas, edición en tapas duras, numerosas ilustraciones en blanco y negro y en color . por Ronny Reich

EXCAVATING THE CITY OF DAVID
by Ronny Reich
Archaeological research over the past 150 years has identified Jerusalem’s southeastern hill, outside the Old City walls, as the biblical City of David. The growing realization that this hill is indeed the most ancient part of Jerusalem led many scholars to excavate it. Since the first excavation by Charles Warren in 1867 to the present, fourteen archaeological expeditions have dug here, making the City of David hill one of the most excavated sites in Israel. British, German, French, and Israeli teams have dug here under four different governments (Ottoman, British Mandate, Jordanian, and Israeli), producing an impressive quantity of data. Some of these remains are uniquely important, including the Siloam Tunnel, the Warren’s Shaft system, the Siloam Inscription, the Theodotos Inscription, and the Pool of Siloam. Recent excavations at the City of David have uncovered impressive remains of Middle Bronze Age fortifications around the Gihon Spring and remains of the Siloam Pool dating to the Second Temple period. The Siloam Tunnel has now been thoroughly documented and studied. This book begins with a chronological survey of a century and a half of excavation and study of the City of David hill. It then summarizes the history of the hill, from prehistoric times to the end of the Ottoman period. It presents an up-to-date summary of past and recent archaeological discoveries, many of which, presented here for the first time, have dramatically changed our thinking about Jerusalem’s ancient history. Ronny Reich has been excavating and studying Jerusalem’s antiquities for over forty years. From 1969 to 1978 he participated in the excavations directed by Professor Nahman Avigad in Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter. Since 1995 he has been co-director of the City of David Excavations. Professor Reich is a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on Jewish ritual baths in the Second Temple period. Since 1995 he has been a professor of archaeology at the University of Haifa. In 2000 he was awarded the Jerusalem Prize for Archaeological Research. 27 × 22 cm., 382 pages, hardcover, numerous black & white and color illustrations.
