        DESERT PASSIONS - Wild Love in Sinai

        DESERT PASSIONS - Wild Love in Sinai

        by Robert Bettelheim

        Desert Passions unfolds tales of wild, dramatic transformations that may occur to people in Sinai due to a mixture ofcravings, sexual arousal, spontaneity, love, rapture, hopes and dreams—conflicting forces that are often at odds with our current lifestyles. New motivations appear, behavioral patterns might shift or completely change, sex and romance easily flourish, often unrestrained by former inhibitions. This explains why seekers trying to find their way in this puzzled, crazy world travel to the Sinai Desert where secret passions, hidden sexual fantasies, and lust that have been long subdued suddenly emerge and rule. Since ancient times, the Sinai Desert has been a place for spiritual and mental metamorphosis, initiating its powerful impact on anyone who wanders there. When Western ideas and habits first met traditional, tribal Bedouins after the Six-Day War in 1967, it created a unique cultural divergence. Many Westerners, too, have been deeply influenced by the raw nature revealed to them.  Robert Bettelheim was born in Vienna, but after his parents fled the Nazi Anschluss of Austria to China, he grew up in Shanghai Ghetto under Japanese rule during WWII. Bettelheim later served in the IDF as a paratrooper, and soon became an ardent scuba diver on the enchanting shores of the Sinai Desert. A musicology graduate and teacher, the author lives with his wife in Kibbutz Zikim, which is not infrequently under shell fire. He has six grandchildren. An English-language eBook edition was published in Summer 2018.  326 Pages, 15X22.5 cm.

        Shattered Crystal

        Shattered Crystal

        by Baruch Cohen

        A riveting historical novel about a Berlin family during World War II, whose members struggle to come to terms with conflicting parts of their identities. Widower Franz Kerner and his three grown children live their lives as loyal German citizens. With the Third Reich’s rise to power and subsequent war, they do their best for their beloved country, during those tumultuous times. Karl, the eldest, enlists in the Luftwaffe and becomes a pilot; Elsa, the middle child, works at a government office; and Helmut, the youngest, joins the infantry. But Franz harbors a deep secret, one that defines the Kerners’ identity. When he finally reveals the secret, their worlds are deeply shaken. Illustrating the characters’ inner struggles against the backdrop of the raging war, the author vividly recounts this intricate tale. The historical aspects in the novel are based on largescale, comprehensive research, and serve to shed light on major global events from a more intimate point of view, one that illustrates the repercussions of war for all of mankind. Baruch (Bobby) Cohen was born in Romania (1927) and, after previous unsuccessful attempts, immigrated to Israel in 1948 upon its establishment. The author served in the Israeli Navy, and later worked at the State Comptroller’s Office until his retirement as deputy director of inspection of Israel’s security forces. For his activities in helping the Romanian Jews between 1945-1947, Cohen was awarded the Decoration of State Warriors by the Israel Ministry of Defense. Shattered Crystal is Cohen’s second book. His first, The Decade of Tears, recounts the story of three young Jews in the newly-born State of Israel in the decade following WWII. An English-language North-American edition was published in early 2021 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 242 Pages, 15X22.5 cm

        Cleaning Up the Environment, Revised Edition

        Hazardous Waste Technology

        by Anne Maczulak, Ph.D.

        Praise for the previous edition: "...valuable...a welcome addition for use in classroom studies and for those considering a career in the field."—School Library Journal The industrial might of the United States grew in the 1930s and flourished during the two world wars. As businesses large and small supplied the needs of the country, they discarded their wastes in landfills, pits, and waterways. It was an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of wastes before more were made. Waste dumping had not yet been linked with illnesses so few people worried about it, especially if the materials were hidden under the ground or in the ocean. Within 20 years of the end of WWII, those wastes began to cause serious health problems. Featuring full-color photographs and line illustrations, Cleaning Up the Environment, Revised Edition explores current and emerging methods in pollution cleanup. Hazardous wastes are removed from contaminated places by physical, chemical, or biological methods, and these methods are described here as well as their advantages and disadvantages. This eBook takes readers through the entire step-by-step process of finding, testing, and cleaning up hazardous waste sites, beginning with contamination assessment and ending with a cleaned and restored body of land or water. Chapters include: Measuring Contamination Excavation of Contaminated Sites Microbes and Plants for Toxic Cleanup Oxidation Technology Brownfield Sites Remediating the Water Supply Superfund Sites.

        JOE CAN FIX IT

        JOE CAN FIX IT

        by Aviva Lipstein

        Seemingly an amusing, illustrated story, it is in fact much more - an educational book about a child’s transition from preschool to elementary school, a transition often accompanied by fears and concerns of the parents as well as the child. In his Introduction, Clinical and Developmental Psychologist Carl I. Rubinroit, Ph.D. writes:  The transition from nursery school to elementary school is often a source of worry and anxiety for both children and their parents. In this endearing book, Aviva Lipstein describes the experiences of a little boy about to enter school for the first time. Through her hero, Danny, the author presents us with a collection of “magical tools”, which help him to overcome his fears and cope with the challenges facing him in his new environment. This book is recommended especially for nursery school “graduates”, first-year pupils and their parents, as well as older children who might like to “remember.” The story was translated into English by Ora Cummings, a native of the UK, and is suited to contemporary life in England (and could easily be suited to other countries as well) within the universal setting of the child’s passage from the nurturing environment of the kindergarten to the more demanding atmosphere of the “big” school. The author, Aviva Lipstein, who passed away in 1994, was brought up in France - in Paris and in Nice on the French Riviera. During WWII, she was protected and educated by Dominican nuns, and after the war she came to settle in the new state of Israel. Mrs. Lipstein, graduate of the School of Social Work at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, worked with young children until her retirement. She lived in Tel Aviv, was married and had two sons and a daughter, as well as a grandson - all of whom were raised on her stories. 40 pages, full-color hardcover, beautiful color drawings, 16.5X24 cm

        Marjorie's Journey: On a mission of her own

        A World War Two Biographical Memoir

        by Ailie Cleghorn

        “[Marjorie’s] life and her own words bring us intimately into a very special world, one that was initially dangerous for her and the children, but which, in the end, and because of Marjorie’s determination to provide each one a happy childhood, became a safe and loving one.”   The author Ailie Cleghorn powerfully recounts the story of Marjorie, her mother’s first cousin, as she braved the Atlantic during WWII to save 18 children by bringing them to South Africa. Through diary pages, letters, telegrams and photographs, Marjorie’s story comes to life, tackling themes such as the idea of the ‘nuclear family’, female courage, motherhood and love.

        Ways of the Ancestors

        From Manchuria to Germany, 1928-68

        by Cornelia Feye

        The project is based on the diary of the author's grandparents, which chronicles forty years of tumultuous personal and political history.  She only found the diary two years ago in her brother’s basement in Berlin.  It begins in Manchuria where Cornelia Feye's grandparents met in 1928, followed by their escape after the Mukden Incident in 1931 and the Japanese occupation, their dramatic journey on the Transsibirian railroad from Harbin to Moscow and Berlin, the years of unemployment during the Weimar Republic, the rise of the National Socialists, and WWII, her grandfather’s four years as POW in Siberia and finally the reconstruction and economic prosperity in post-war Germany. The diary movingly tells the great love story between two very different people – her grandfather Kornelius, a Swabian former’s son, and grandmother Frida, a twelve-year-older cultured Swiss milliner, that fate brought together for unknown reasons in Mukden.  Beside the trans-generational and historical components of this project, it also touches on deeper philosophical themes such as destiny versus free will, and the role of faith in surviving insurmountable obstacles. It offers opportunities for deep-dive research into the Japanese Occupation of Manchuria, the History of the Trans Siberian Railroad in Stalinist Russia, The Black Madonna of Einsiedeln as Archetype, and Russian POW Camps in Siberia, which should be of general interest (see bibliography). Quotes from the diary are used as points of departure and to preserve the eloquent and poetic language. Select incidents will be set in-scene as historical fiction to communicate the emotional impact of this dramatic and traumatic story.

        WWII - A Concise History

        by Liam McCann

        By 1938 a second war in Europe seemed inevitable. It had only been twenty years since the war to end all wars, and the horrors of conflict were still fresh in the mind, but that didn't stop all sides re-arming and preparing for yet more bloodshed. The settlement at the end of World War One was neither clean nor decisive, and it punished Germany by confiscating territory and forcing the people to pay reparations to help rebuild France and reduce the Allied debt to America. This led to deep-seated anger and resentment among its people.

        “And the Bulgarian Jews were saved…”

        by Nadège Ragaru

        Bulgaria was an exception; a state allied with the Reich that refused to deport its Jewish community. This image of Bulgaria during WWII has persisted until the present day, overlooking the fact that in the Yugoslavian and Greek territories occupied by this country between 1941 and 1945, almost all the Jews were rounded up, sent to Poland, and exterminated. Deeply original in its approach and in its style, this historical investigation is an exemplary reflection on the silences of the past.

        DARK PERSUASION: The Story of Brainwashing in the 20th Century

        by Joel Dimsdale

        DARK PERSUASION tells the captivating history of brainwashing through a psychological lens. With its beginnings in torture and religious conversion, brainwashing was transformed when Pavlov, in the age of Stalin and Lenin,  introduced a scientific approach to brainwashing. Persuasion techniques became a key part of WWII interrogations and the Cold War, and would expand to the wider culture with the creation of cults. Whether at the hands of governments or cult leaders, brainwashing could be shatteringly destructive. As Dimsdale writes, “History is shaped by individuals acting in the context of vast impersonal forces. Who were the people who molded brainwashing? What did they think they were doing?  And how will brainwashing evolve in the 21st century?”
