        John et Yoni

        by Mike Carmel

        John et Yoni - Deux frères jumeaux - deux religions - deux nations - une seule âme !Mike Carmel A la suite d'une relation illicite passionnée entre une jeune étudiante en psychologie et son professeur marié, en 1979, deux frères jumeaux, John et Yoni, sont involontairement séparés lors du premier mois de leur vie et sont élevés dans deux différentes familles adoptives. John grandit en Angleterre à Liverpool, dans la foi romaine catholique. Yoni est élevé à Raanana, en Israël, dans la confession juive.A l'âge de 21 ans, ils se rencontrent pour la première fois. Ils sont tous deux très croyants, chacun dans ses propres convictions religieuses, et il s'ensuit un processus intéressant de découverte mutuelle, alors que leurs voies culturelles différentes se rencontrent. Ce qui suit est une histoire captivante, stimulante, amusante, qui soulève des questions et occasionnellement des conflits, et souvent débouche sur le bizarre. Alors, l'un d'eux perd tragiquement la vie, victime d'un attentat suicidaire à la bombe, et son frère jumeau reste, pour endurer le difficile processus de remise en question de sa propre identité, se retrouvant de nouveau seul au monde. Mike Carmel est né en 1956 à Liverpool et étudia l'économie à la Liverpool University et à la Brunel University, à Londres. Bien que l'auteur fût élevé dans la foi anglicane, il décida, en 1980, de se convertir au judaïsme. Il conserva désormais un profond respect pour les deux religions.Travaillant dans le secteur de la Hi Tech, Mike vit en Israël depuis 25 ans. Il a servi dans l'armée israélienne comme infirmier et il a aussi rempli diverses fonctions dans l'éducation dans les deux pays. Mike s'est marié avec une israélienne en 1981 et ils ont trois enfants. Sa fille, à laquelle le livre est dédié, a été gravement blessée pendant son service militaire par un terroriste suicidaire en 2003.

        Culture in Manchester

        Institutions and urban change since 1850

        by Janet Wolff, Mike Savage

        This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff.

        Political culture in later medieval England

        Essays by Simon Walker

        by Mike Braddick

        This is an important collection of pioneering essays penned by the late Simon Walker, a highly respected historian of late medieval England. One of the finest scholars of his generation, Walker's writing is lucid, inspirational, and has permanently enriched our understanding of the period. The eleven essays featured here examine themes such as kingship, lordship, warfare and sanctity. There are specific studies on subjects such as the changing fortunes of the family of Sir Richard Abberbury; Yorkshire's Justices of the Peace; the service of medieval man-at-arms, Janico Dartasso; Richard II's views on kingship, political saints, and an investigation of rumour, sedition and popular protest in the reign of Henry IV. An introduction by G.L. Harriss looks back across Walker's career, and discusses the historiographical context of his work. Both the new and previously published pieces here will be essential reading for those working on the late medieval period. ;
