Hadassah
by Par le Pr Shifra Shvarts et le Dr Zipora Shehory-Rubin, avec le concours du Pr Yoel Donchin
Hadassah pour la santé publique: La mission médicale et éducative de Hadassah - les Femmes Sionistes Américaines en Terre Sainte Par le Pr Shifra Shvarts et le Dr Zipora Shehory-Rubin, avec le concours du Pr Yoel Donchin Le Livre de Hadassah recouvre les sujets de la femme, de la santé publique et du sionisme. Ce livre se concentre surtout sur le dévouement exceptionnel des membres de l’organisation féminine Hadassah, qui s’est chargée de la mission de mettre en place des services modernes de santé publique pour la communauté juive de Palestine, sous le mandat britannique, sur la base de son expérience dans ce domaine en Amérique. Pendant les dix premières années, des services de santé publique ont été pourvus à 46 000 femmes enceintes, à 53 000 enfants en bas âge, les infirmières ont fourni 700 000 soins à domicile et 1,7 millions de consultations ont été effectuées dans les 44 dispensaires procurant des services pour le bien-être de la mère et l’enfant à travers le pays. Grace à ces services, la mortalité infantile a fortement baissé dans la communauté juive de 144:1000 en 1922 à 54:1000 in 1939 (en comparaison de 50:1000 aux U.S.A. et 53:1000 au Royaume Uni). Aucune autre entreprise de dévouements similaire n’a réussi à accomplir des résultats aussi remarquables en une période aussi courte. Tous les services de santé publique fournis sous la tutelle de Hadassah étaient égalitaires et s’adressaient aussi bien à la communauté arabe. La mission entait fondée principalement sur l’idéologie sioniste de construction d’une nouvelle nation, saine de corps et d’esprit. La mission de santé publique de ces femmes américaines constituait une partie intégrante de la mission et des activités sionistes de cette époque. Cependant, au contraire d’autres domaines de l’activité sioniste an Palestine pendant cette période, elle entait entièrement et exclusivement menée par des femmes. Ce livre raconte l’histoire de ces femmes sionistes américaines déterminées et leurs accomplissements remarquables en faveur de la santé de la communauté juive de Palestine, qui constituait les prémices d’une nation en construction. Le Livre de Hadassah renferme aussi des photos originales, qui ont été découvertes il y a seulement quelques annexes dans l’un des anciens entrepôts de Hadassah à Jérusalem par le Pr Yoel Donchin, et que l’on peut actuellement voir dans une exposition spéciale au Theater de Jérusalem. A propos des auteurs Shifra Shvarts, Ph.D., est professeur titulaire d’histoire de la médecine à l’Université Ben-Gurion et charge de recherche à l’Institut Gertner de recherche épidémiologique et de politique de la santé, au Center Medical Sheba. Elle est spécialisée en histoire social de la médecine et de la santé publique du dix-neuvième siècle au vingtième siècle en Israël. Elle a publié six livres sur le développement et l’histoire du système médical en Israël. Elle est aussi l’auteur des articles sur les caisses de maladie israéliennes dans l’Encyclopédie Médicale Israélienne et dans l’Encyclopedia Judaica. Zipora Shehory-Rubin, Ph.D., est conférencière supérieure au Collège d’Education Académique Kaye à Beer-Shéva, en Israël, où elle enseigne l’histoire de l’éducation et de la langue hébraïque. Elle a obtenu son doctorat en histoire à l’Université du Néguev Ben-Gurion après avoir présenté sa thèse sur les entreprises éducatives et les activités médicales de Hadassah sous le mandat britannique de Palestine. Elle a publié des livres et des articles sur les divers aspects de l’histoire de l’éducation et l’histoire de la médecine.

Children's & YAI Like You - Just Like That!
by Neele/ Marta Balmaseda
A poetic picture book that makes it easy to forget arguments and anger: the little elephant is in a bad mood and kicks a stone. The stone inadvertently hits the flamingo – and the complaining and annoyance just keeps spreading. By the river, in the bush, on the savannah: just like that! Until a little meerkat has had enough and just hugs the snarling leopard. The leopard’s heart becomes light and gradually all the animals notice how good it is when we’re nice to one another. Just like that!

LIKE, WHAT?Graphical Teasers for Young Readers
by Gideon Bar Sinai
Like many adults, children are naturally inquisitive. They easily grasp principles, find challenges, and enjoy dealing with them; but how do you encourage their curiosity? When they come upon such an original book, it is like a treasure chest of surprises: colorful, intelligent, and fascinating. This is a unique concept, primarily intended to entertain young and adult readers alike. The utilization and encouragement of their natural curiosity enhance the book's enjoyment. The entire series contains 81 multicolor graphical teasers that cover a rich and diverse world of events. Each teaser conceals a riddle, where its discovery is a challenge within itself. While attempting to decipher the mystery, the reader develops an expertise in creative and investigative thinking, as well as abstraction, spatial perception, and imagination. Author Gideon Bar-Sinai explains: “The book goes beyond stimulating the readers' curiosity and desire to investigate, confronting them with the complexity of our world. It clarifies that the world is not as simple and structured as suggest most psychometric books, which are the dogmatic, one-dimensional antithesis of Like, What?” This brilliant series expands the reader’s imagination with the colorfulness and humor invested in it; although containing but a few words, it provides the young readers – and their parents who have not yet lost their natural curiosity – with entertainment, learning, insight, and enjoyment. As a universal book without words, it transcends the barriers of age, language, and culture, and makes for an ideal gift. A sequel with 27 additional graphic teasers will be published soon. Gideon Bar-Sinai, 49, married and father of three, former pilot with a B.Sc. in computer sciences, worked for many years in software development and held senior management positions in several Hi-tech companies. Like, What? is the first volume in this original series of graphic-teaser books.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2023Globalized urban precarity in Berlin and Abidjan
Young men and the digital economy
by Hannah Schilling
Digital technologies promise efficiency and comfort, but the smoothness of platform services relies on the hidden social labour of those who keep the gig economy running. This book presents a comparative ethnography of young men making a living through digital technologies: selling mobile airtime in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and app-based delivery riders in Berlin, Germany. These case studies explore the significance of symbolic capital in urban youth's social existence and organisation of livelihood in the digital economy, and the technological mechanisms producing a new form of urban precarity. Globalized urban precarity in Berlin and Abidjan puts forward an original comparative approach to develop a global urban sociology for the digital era. It provides an innovative analytical toolbox that decentres discussions of precarity from the standard of a normal employment contract. With its focus on symbolic capital, the ethnography shows the consequences of the proliferating gig economy for status struggles among urban youth, and carefully embeds the densification of software and services into the socio-material relations on which these new urban infrastructures are built.

TelevisionNovember 2007Time and Relative Dissertations in Space
Critical Perspectives on Doctor Who
by Edited by David Butler
Time and relative dissertations in space takes the reader on a rich and varied study of one of the greatest television programmes of all time: Doctor Who. This book is the first study of Doctor Who to explore the Doctor's adventures in all their manifestations: on television, audio, in print and beyond. Although focusing on the original series (1963-89), the collection recognises that Doctor Who is a cultural phenomenon that has been 'told' in many ways through a myriad of texts. Combining essays from academics as well as practitioners who have contributed to the ongoing narrative of Doctor Who, the collection encourages debate with contrasting opinions on the strengths (and weaknesses) of the programme, offering a multi-perspective view of Doctor Who and the reasons for its endurance.

Living the urban periphery
Infrastructure, everyday life and economic change in African city-regions
by Paula Meth, Sarah Charlton, Tom Goodfellow, Alison Todes
The edges of cities are increasingly understood as places of dynamism and change, but there is little research on African urban peripheries, the nature of building, growth, investment and decline that is shaping them and how these are lived. This co-authored monograph draws on findings from an extensive comparative study on Ethiopia and South Africa, in conversation with a related study on Ghana. It examines African urban peripheries through a dual focus on the experiences of living in these changing contexts, alongside the logics driving their transformation. Through its conceptualisation and application of five 'logics of periphery', it offers unique, contextually-informed insights into the generic processes shaping urban peripheries, and the variable ways in which these are playing out in contemporary Africa for those living the peripheries.

BiodiversityDecember 2007Crop Wild Relative Conservation and Use
by Edited by Nigel Maxted, Brian V Ford-Lloyd, Shelagh P Kell, José M Iriondo, Mohammad E Dulloo, Jozef Turok
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are species closely related to crop plants which can contribute beneficial traits, such as pest or disease resistance and yield improvement. These species are critical for improving agricultural production and increasing food security. They are also essential components of natural and semi-natural habitats as well as agricultural systems, and are therefore vital in maintaining ecosystem health. However, CWR, like any other group of wild species, are subject to an increasing range of threats: habitat loss, degradation and mismanagement, over-collection and climate change. Through an examination of the national, regional and global context of CWR, these authoritative studies present methodologies and case studies that review and provide recommendations for global conservation and use. Topics range from the establishment of conservation priorities and strategies, threat assessment and genetic erosion and pollution.

Comme, Quoi ?
by Gideon Bar-Sinai
Comme, Quoi ? Casse-têtes Graphiques pour Jeunes Lecteurs par Gideon Bar-Sinai Comme beaucoup d’adultes, les enfants sont curieux de nature. Ils assimilent facilement les principes, découvrent les défis et adorent le affronter ; mais comment allez-vous encourager leur curiosité ? Lorsqu’ils trouvent un livre original de ce genre, c’est comme une mine de surprises : stimulant, intelligent et fascinant. Il s’agit d’un concept unique, destiné avant tout à distraire les lecteurs, jeunes ou adultes. L’exploitation et l’encouragement de leur curiosité naturelle accroissent le plaisir que procure le livre. L’ensemble de la série comprend 81 casse-têtes graphiques multicolores qui couvrent un univers d’événements riches et variés. Chaque casse-tête renferme une énigme, dont la découverte constitue un défi par soi-même. En essayant de déchiffrer le mystère, le lecteur développe des capacités de créativité et d’esprit investigateur, ainsi que des dons d’abstraction, de perception spatiale et d’imagination. L’auteur Gideon Bar-Sinai explique : « Ce livre fait davantage que de stimuler la curiosité du lecteur et son désir de chercher, que de le confronter avec la complexité du monde où nous vivons. Il prouve que le monde n’est pas aussi simple et structuré que le suggèrent tous les livres de psychométrie qui constituent l’antithèse dogmatique et unidimensionnelle de Comme, quoi ? » Cette brillante série déploie l’imagination du lecteur par le pittoresque et l’humour qui y ont été investis ; bien qu’il ne contienne que peu de mots, il procure aux jeunes lecteurs – et à leurs parents qui n’ont pas encore perdu leur curiosité naturelle – à la fois de l’amusement, de l’instruction, de l’intuition et du plaisir. En tant que livre universel sans mots, il transcende les barrières de l’âge, du langage et de la culture, et cela en fait un cadeau idéal. Un prochain livre, avec 27 autres casse-têtes graphiques, va bientôt être publié. Gideon Bar-Sinai, 49 ans, marié et père de trois enfants, ancien pilote et licencié en informatique, a travaillé durant de nombreuses année dans le développement de logiciel et a tenu des postes supérieurs de direction dans plusieurs entreprises hi- tech. Comme, quoi ? est le premier volume de cette série originale de livres de casse-têtes graphiques.
