The Keepers of the Black Cave

by Hanit Pahima

Does the phrase “history repeats itself” have any merit? Is it true? Some say it is; some say that historical events repeat themselves endlessly and occur again and again in parallel time loops. Nicole and her brothers do not know for sure. What they do know is that sometimes when history repeats itself, things can go wrong, and they are here to prevent just that. This compelling time-travel novel is the story of Nicole and her family, who have been entrusted to keep history unchanged. Through the black cave at the edge of the forest they jump back in time to an event in history, an event that is about to be changed, about to be altered. Their mission is simple—preserve history as it is, and don’t let loops in time make changes that can affect the future. What would have happened if JFK hadn’t been assassinated? What would be the difference if Elvis hadn’t really died? What would change if one more boy had died in the Holocaust? The three of them have done this for as long as they can remember, and they know their way through history. But what happens when the rules are slightly bent? When someone chooses to interpret the course of history? Use history for their own benefits? Will Nicole and her brothers survive? Will the world survive? What will be the cost? Read The Keepers of the Black Cave to find out. Hanit Pahima has shifted her career after twenty years in the high-tech industry to pursue her dream of and talent for writing. As a personal travel planner and a dreamer, she combines her adventures in the world, her passion for TV shows and movies, and her vast and cynical imagination to create her stories. An English-language edition was published in February 2019. 212 Pages,12X20 c

A Tale of a Man, a Worm and a Snail

The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative

by Alan Fenwick, Wendie Norris, Becky McCall

Schistosomiasis is Africa's second most prevalent infectious disease, but in many high-risk areas the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) has helped achieve up to a 75% reduction in its prevalence. Exploring the work and experiences involved in forming, establishing and managing a health intervention such as the SCI, this book divulges important lessons for anyone looking to replicate its success. Widely recognised as a cost-effective and successful intervention, its knock-on effects include improving overall physical health, school attendance and future prospects. Evaluating the SCI's development, implementation and results through an engaging personal story and written in an approachable style, this book covers: - Key strategic challenges faced and how the SCI overcame them to achieve and maintain low infection rates; - Methods used for raising funding for control and drug donations; - Mobilisation and mechanics of partnerships to facilitate supply and access to drugs; - Nature of working relationships and implementation across Africa; - Ways in which schistosomiasis control can be integrated into, and serve as a model for, other Neglected Tropical Disease programmes (NTD). Written from Professor Alan Fenwick's unique perspective as Director of the SCI, The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, health professionals and students in the fields of NTD control and global health.

Defining cult movies

The cultural politics of oppositional taste

by Susan Wiliams

Concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. Raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to mainstream cinema and the processes of institutionalisation and classification. Claims that the history of academic film studies and that of cult movie fandom are inextricably intertwined and raises fundamental questions about both cult movies themselves, and film studies as a discipline. Updates work on cult movies at a time when cult films and TV have become a central part of contemporary culture. Ranges over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci fi flicks, as well investigations of Sharon Stone, 'underground' and trivia.

Connaître son potentiel

by Abraham Shoshani

Connaître son potentiel – en suivant les travaux de Feldenkrais par Abraham Shoshani Connaître son potentiel est inspiré par les travaux du Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais et du fameux philosophe israélien, le Professeur Yeshaiahu Leibovich, qui ont été les vénérés professeurs et modèles de l’auteur. La lecture de ce livre constitue une expérience unique – l’expérience d’un voyage dans le monde spiritual de l’être humain. Ce monde est complexe et compliqué, mais toujours intéressant et attirant. Connaître son potentiel offres des défis intellectuels au lecteur intéressé et, pour quiconque s’occupe d’éducation de performance, inspiration et guidance. Les connaissances du Dr. Shoshani sont étendues, d’une profondeur étonnante et dénuées de rigidité académique. On ne peut s’empêcher d’être impressionné par le travail intellectuel investi dans l’écriture de ce livre concis et cependant complet. La rencontre passionnante entre le monde de la psychologie et celui de l’éducation lui donne une qualité particulière et une marque de défi intellectuel. L’auteur est un artiste et chercheur qui intègre la connaissance des cultures orientale et occidentale et crée une nouvelle perspective dans l’éducation de performance. Son cheminement innovateur jouit d’une reconnaissance internationale: à l’étranger, le Dr. Shoshani a donné des conférences dans des institutions académiques, parmi lesquelles: l’Académie Royale de Musique et d’Art Dramatique à Glasgow; le Département d’Art Dramatique de la Carnegie Mellon University à Pittsburgh; le Actors Studio à New York; et le Ithaca College à New York. Le Dr. Shoshani est le directeur du Centre de la Culture à Jérusalem Est. L'édition du livre en hébreu a été adoptée par le Ministère de l’Education et de la Culture en Israël comme manuel dans les instituts d’entraînement des éducateurs.
