Energy Future: Fossilien und mehr
by Moty Kuperberg
Energy Future: Fossilien und mehr / Moty Kuperberg Moty Kuperberg, Direktor von Oil & Gas Dynamic Shipping, Haifa, Israel Wir können nicht in einer Welt überleben, in der Öl 200 US-Dollar pro Barrel kostet und die Preise von einem Kartell bestimmt und von der Wall Street beeinflusst werden. Die freie industrialisierte Welt, die Ölindustrie selbst sowie die Industrie- und Entwicklungsländer sind Opfer der durch Gier verursachten Ölpreiskrisen geworden. Das schlimmste Jahr war 2008. Die Sicherheit unserer Energieversorgung, die die IEA als „ununterbrochene Verfügbarkeit von Energiequellen zu einem erschwinglichen Preis“ definiert, wurde beeinträchtigt. Der Durchschnittspreis für Rohöl lag zwischen 2010 und 2014 bei über 100 USD pro Barrel, sank jedoch bis Ende 2014 stark auf 56 USD, gefolgt von einem Wettlauf nach unten in Richtung 50 USD – einem Preis, der von der Branche als akzeptabel eingestuft wird. Zukunft der Energie stellt die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart der Öl- und Gasindustrie in einen Kontext, um eine alternative Zukunft einzuführen. Diese Zukunft basiert auf drei Hauptpfeilern, die vom Autor als ENERGY GPS definiert wurden: Geopolitik = zugänglich, Preis = erschwinglich und Supply = verfügbar. Moty Kuperberg ist Absolvent der Abteilung für Geschichte des Nahen Ostens an der Universität von Haifa (1984) und hat einen Abschluss in Betriebswirtschaft und Schifffahrt von der City of London Polytechnic (1988). Er verfügt über mehr als zwanzig Jahre Erfahrung in den Bereichen Schifffahrt und Energie und hat sich in den letzten fünf Jahren auf seine unabhängige Agentur für Energiesicherheit konzentriert (www.TheIESA.com) als Plattform für eine verbesserte globale Versorgungssicherheit. Eine englischsprachige eBook-Ausgabe wurde im Herbst 2017 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht.

Energy Future
Fosils and Beyond
by Moty Kuperberg
We cannot survive in a world where oil is $200 per barrel and where prices are dictated by a cartel and influenced by Wall Street. The free industrialized world, the glorious oil industry, and developed and developing countries have all fallen victim to greedy oil price crises. The worst year was 2008; our energy security, which the IEA defines as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price,” was harmed. Yet the average price of crude oil in 2010–2014 was over $100 per barrel, only to sharply decline to $56 by the end of 2014, followed by a struggle to reach $50—a price which is considered "acceptable" by the industry. Energy Future puts the oil and gas industry’s past and present in context in order to introduce an alternative future. This future is based on three main pillars defined by the author as ENERGY GPS: geopolitics = accessible, prices = affordable, and supply = available. Moty Kuperberg is a graduate of the department of Middle Eastern history at the University of Haifa (1984), and he holds a postgraduate degree in business administration and shipping from the City of London Polytechnic (1988). He has over twenty years of experience in shipping and energy, and during the last five years he has focused on his Independent Energy Security Agency (www.TheIESA.com) as a platform for improved global security of supply. An English-language eBook edition has been scheduled for fall 2017 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc.,CA.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2013The Jews in western Europe, 1400–1600
by Translated and Edited by John Edwards
As European politics, society, economy and religion underwent epoch-making changes between 1400 and 1600, the treatment of Europe's Jews by the non-Jewish majority was, then as in later periods, a symptom of social problems and tensions in the Continent as a whole. Through a broad-ranging collection of documents, John Edwards sets out to present a vivid picture of the Jewish presence in European life during this vital and turbulent period. Subjects covered include the Jews' own economic presence and culture, social relations between Jews and Christians, the policies and actions of Christian authorities in Church and State. He also draws upon original source material to convey ordinary people's prejudices about Jews, including myths about Jewish 'devilishness', money-grabbing, and 'ritual murder' of Christian children. Full introductory and explanatory material makes accessible the historical context of the subject and highlights the insights offered by the documents as well as the pitfalls to be avoided in this area of historical enquiry. This volume aims to provide a coherent working collection of texts for lecturers, teachers and students who wish to understand the experience of Jewish Europeans in this period. ;

September 2018Der gestreifte Kater und die Schwalbe Sinhá
by Jorge Amado, Isabel Pin, Karin Schweder-Schreiner, Steffen Popp
Um eine blaue Rose zu gewinnen, erzählt die Morgenfrühe dem Herrn der Zeit die Liebesgeschichte vom Gestreiften Kater und der Schwalbe Sinhá: Der Gestreifte Kater, im ganzen Park gefürchtet und verachtet, weil er böse sei und hässlich, erlebt einen zweiten Frühling, als die junge, neugierige Schwalbe Sinhá sich allen Warnungen der Parkbewohner zum Trotz mit ihm anfreundet. Im Sommer sind sie miteinander glücklich, aber der Sommer geht schnell vorbei – wie jede glückliche Zeit. Diese Fabel schrieb Amado 1948 in Paris für seinen Sohn – eine kleine Geschichte, die sich Pausen gönnt, zum Plaudern, zum Philosophieren. Eine Geschichte voller Poesie, die von Vorurteilen und Ängsten handelt, vor allem indes von einer Liebe, die das Leben erst lebenswert macht. »Zum Leben wunderschönWär diese WeltKönnte es einst geschehenDass ein gestreifter Kater mitEiner Schwalbe Hochzeit hältUnd beide flögen davonGlücklich zu zweitFür alle Zeit.«

This series contains about 1,800 modern prints collected by Lu Xun at that time, which authored by nearly 200 domestic printmakers and currently in the Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shanghai and the Lu Xun Museum in Beijing. It is showcasing the glorious history of modern Chinese woodcut art: In the 1920s and 1930s, in order to guide the artistic direction of Chinese literary youth, smashed the KMT’s counter-revolutionary cultural " encirclement and suppression", Mr. Lu Xun held a "woodcut workshop" in Shanghai, and cultivated a group of emerging woodcut backbone. These backbones led young artists in various regions of the country to create a large number of realistic works reflecting the suffering and tragic fate of the people at the bottom of the society at that time. They cruelly lashed the dark reality of society and called for national salvation and survival. These young woodcutters sent their woodcut works to Lu Xun, who not only guided their creation personally, but also spared no effort to collect, publicize and promote them to the public. With the active advocacy and support of Mr. Lu Xun, the emerging woodcut movement in China has developed vigorously, driving the modernization of Chinese art and leaving an indelible glorious footprint in the history of Chinese modern culture and art. This complete collection is a companion to the The Complete Collection of Foreign Prints by Lu Xun published in 2014.
