SINAMATELLA: Eine Sinnsuche von Shlomo Breznitz Dons persönliches Leben ist durch ein Trauma zerrüttet. Hilflos liegt er am Boden. Seine obsessive, mechanische Denkweise lässt keinen Raum für neue oder neuartige Erfahrungen. Er sucht Hilfe bei Irv, einem höchst unkonventionellen Therapeuten, der ihn nach Afrika schickt, um „seine Persönlichkeit aufzutauen“. Dort, in Sinamatella, beginnt er die lange Reise zurück aus seiner tiefen Depression. Langsam, Schritt für Schritt, entwickelt sich sein inneres Leben, das nicht mehr als eine leere Hülle war, und damit seine Fähigkeit, wieder Initiative zu entwickeln. Er trifft einen Menschen, der ihn lehrt, seiner Intuition zu vertrauen. Er lernt, die alltäglichsten Erfahrungen mit Sinn zu füllen und so sein Leben so zu bereichern, dass es kaum wiederzuerkennen ist. Sinamatella ist eine Geschichte der Hoffnung und einer zweiten Chance im Leben. Shlomo Breznitz ist ein weltbekannter Experte auf dem Gebiet der psychischen Belastung und Stressbewältigung. Seine neueren Arbeiten befassen sich mit kognitivem Altern und Gehirntraining. Er hat zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Bücher auf seinem Gebiet veröffentlicht. Der neueste Titel, Maximum Brainpower: Challenging the Brain for Health and Wisdom, den er mit Collins Hemingway verfasste, wurde 2012 von Ballantine Books veröffentlicht. Darüber hinaus hat er zwei Memoiren geschrieben, Memory Fields und The Tapestry of Life. Er war Rektor und Präsident der Universität von Haifa und war kurzzeitig Abgeordneter in der Knesset, dem israelischen Parlament. Er wohnt in Haifa. Eine englischsprachige nordamerikanische Ausgabe wurde Anfang 2014 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht.184 Seiten. 212 Seiten, 14 x 20,5 cm.
Don’s personal life is shattered by a trauma, and he is devastated and helpless. His obsessive, automat-like way of thinking leaves no room for fresh or novel experiences. He seeks help from Irv, a highly unconventional therapist, who sends him to Africa in order to “unfreeze his personality.” There, at Sinamatella, he starts the long journey back from his deep depression. Slowly, step by step, his inner life, which was an empty shell, starts to evolve, and with it his ability to cope. He meets a person unlike anyone he has known before, who teaches him to trust his intuition. He learns to infuse meaning into the most mundane experiences and thus enrich his life beyond recognition. Sinamatella is a story of hope and of a second chance in life. Shlomo Breznitz is a world-renowned expert in the area of psychological stress and coping. His more recent work is in the area of cognitive aging and brain training. He has published numerous scientific books in his field. The most recent, Maximum Brainpower: Challenging the Brain for Health and Wisdom, which he wrote with Collins Hemingway, was published by Ballantine Books in 2012. In addition he has written two memoirs, Memory Fields and The Tapestry of Life. He was the rector and president of the University of Haifa and briefly served in the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament. He lives in Haifa. An English-Language eBook edition was published in winter 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons ,Inc., CA. 212 pages, 15X22.5 cm

»Letztlich war auch die NSU-Mordserie 20 Jahre später nur möglich, weil man sich schon 1980 geweigert hatte, aus dem rechten Terror Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen.« Am 19. Dezember 1980 wurden Shlomo Lewin, der ehemalige Vorsitzende der jüdischen Gemeinde Nürnberg, und seine Lebensgefährtin Frida Poeschke in ihrem Haus in Erlangen erschossen. Statt den Spuren nachzugehen, die zur rechtsextremistischen »Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann« führten, konzentrierten sich die Ermittler lange auf das Umfeld Lewins. Die genauen Umstände der Bluttat blieben ungeklärt. Kaum ein zeitgeschichtlich bedeutendes Ereignis wurde so aggressiv vergessen wie dieser antisemitische Doppelmord.Uffa Jensen rekonstruiert die Tat und ihre Hintergründe. Er folgt den Verbindungen zur PLO, in deren Lager die Wehrsportgruppe ausgebildet wurde, beleuchtet die Rolle von deren Gründer, Karl-Heinz Hoffmann, und stellt das Attentat in Bezug zu den weiteren Anschlägen des Jahres 1980, in dem in der Bundesrepublik mehr Menschen durch (rechten) Terror ums Leben kamen als in jedem anderen Jahr. Dabei macht Jensen die Muster im Umgang mit Rechtsterrorismus sichtbar, die sich künftig mehrfach wiederholen sollten – eine bis heute anhaltende Geschichte aus Gewalt, Verharmlosung und Verdrängung.

The United States Institute of Peace’s Project on Arab-Israeli Futures is a research effort designed to anticipate and assess obstacles and opportunities facing the peace process in the years ahead. Stepping back from the day-to-day ebb and flow of events on the ground, this project examines deeper, over-the-horizon trends that could offer new openings for peace. The effort brings together American, Israeli, and Arab researchers and is directed by Scott Lasensky, a Senior Research Associate at the Institute. In this report, General Shlomo Brom traces the development of Israeli national security thinking about Palestinian statehood, and the implications it holds for American policy. The first study in the series, “The Future of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Critical Trends Affecting Israel,” by Yossi Alpher, was published in September 2005. The second report, “Willing to Compromise: Palestinian Public Opinion and the Peace Process,” by Khalil Shikaki, was published in January 2006.

A world championship in hand folding, Shlomo Herzmansky’s miraculous survival thanks to Himmler, and the nightly tumult of Lipizzan horses in the middle of Vienna. Anything is possible, even the abolition of death is unsurprising when you immerse yourself in the narrative world of André Heller. Like in his bestseller Das Buch von Süden, André Heller mixes the anecdotal with the autobiographical, creating images and portraits of his world that brings the past into the present and the far-away near.
On September 26, 1980, a bombing at the Oktoberfest in Munich kills 13 people, and on December 19 the first anti-Semitic murders in Germany since World War II were committed in Erlangen. Far-right extremists were involved in both crimes. Gundolf Köhler planted the bomb in Munich, Uwe Behrendt is said to have shot the rabbi of Nürnberg Shlomo Lewin and his partner Frida Poeschke. Both terrorists were connected to the far-right brigade Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann. However, both men apparently planned and executed their attacks alone. The leader of the far-right brigade, Karl-Heinz Hoffmann, was found not guilty of the incitement to murder by the district court in Nürnberg. Chaussy uncovers the dramatic failure of the investigators and courts and he shows how both crimes are connected to each other. The bombing of Munich cannot have been planned and executed by one person alone and the anti-Semitic hatred that drove the shooter in Erlangen was not his own idea. Like in 1980 the myth of a terrorist acting alone is till preventing the understanding of far-right attacks and anti-Semitic murder.
“A breathtaking new epic fantasy series. Morgan Rice does it again! This magical sorcery saga reminds me of the best of J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Rick Riordan, Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien. I couldn’t put it down!” --Allegra Skye, Bestselling author of SAVED In A VOW OF GLORY (Book #5 in the Sorcerer's Ring), Thor embarks with his Legion friends on an epic quest into the vast wilds of the Empire to try to find the ancient Destiny Sword and save the Ring. Thor’s friendships deepen, as they journey to new places, face unexpected monsters and fight side by side in unimaginable battle. They encounter exotic lands, creatures and peoples beyond which they could have ever imagined, each step of their journey fraught with increasing danger. They will have to summon all their skills if they are to survive as they follow the trail of the thieves, deeper and deeper into the Empire. Their quest will bring them all the way into the heart of the Underworld, one of the seven realms of hell, where the undead rule and fields are lined with bones. As Thor must summon his powers, more than ever, he struggles to understand the nature of who he is. Back in the Ring, Gwendolyn must lead half of King’s Court to the Western stronghold of Silesia, an ancient city perched on the edge of the Canyon that has stood for one thousand years. Silesia’s fortifications have allowed it to survive every attack throughout every century—but it has never been faced with an assault by a leader like Andronicus, by an army like his million men. Gwendolyn learns what it means to be queen as she takes on a leadership role, Srog, Kolk, Brom, Steffen, Kendrick and Godfrey by her side, preparing to defend the city for the massive war to come. Meanwhile, Gareth is descending deeper into madness, trying to fend off a coup that would have him assassinated in King’s Court, while Erec fights for his life to save his love, Alistair and the Duke’s city of Savaria as the downed shield enables the wild creatures to invade. And Godfrey, wallowing in drink, will have to decide if he is ready to cast off his past and become the man his family expects him to be. As they all fight for their lives and as things seem as if they can’t get any worse, the story ends with two shocking twists. Will Gwendolyn survive the assault? Will Thor survive the Empire? Will the Destiny Sword be found? With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A VOW OF GLORY is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. It is 75,000 words. Book #6 in the series--A CHARGE OF VALOR--is now also available! “Grabbed my attention from the beginning and did not let go….This story is an amazing adventure that is fast paced and action packed from the very beginning. There is not a dull moment to be found.” --Paranormal Romance Guild {regarding Turned} “Jam packed with action, romance, adventure, and suspense.
