        by Vasyl Makhno

        Events, described by Vasyl Makhno in a debut collection of short prose, are happening at different times and in different places, and no matter who the storyteller is – a man over fifty, a grey-headed widow or a little boy – you believe them; because there are no author’s generalizations, conclusions or guidelines. These impartial stories tell us about fates of completely different people, honestly and without pathos. It is honesty and simplicity that make this prose so different; common and simple details, at first sight, add mystery and hold the reader in suspense throughout the entire book.

        The Power of Knowledge

        The Israeli Science Corps

        by Uriel Bachrach

        Uriel Bachrach was born in Germany in 1926 and immigrated to Palestine in 1933. In 1945 he began studying chemistry at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. At the end of 1947, future Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion realized that once British forces left Palestine in May 1948, seven Arab countries would attack the newly formed Jewish state that at that time was home to only 600,000 people—including women, children, and the elderly, many of them Holocaust survivors. The State had only 10,000 rifles and 3,800 pistols, no anti-tank weapons, and no artillery. Weapons could not be purchased from other countries due to an embargo, so Ben-Gurion decided to produce weapons locally. On February 2, 1948, Bachrach was summoned to a secret meeting where he and twenty chemistry and physics students were told to save the nation. For three weeks they studied the secrets of explosives, incendiaries, gas, and smoke. Gradually more young scientists joined the group and on March 17, 1948, an IDF Science Corps named HEMED was formed. In 1949, Bachrach returned to The Hebrew University and became the chairman of the Department of Molecular Biology. He has been a visiting professor at various American and European universities and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Bologna in Italy. The Hebrew version of this book was published in 2009 and the author received a special prize for the State of Israel from President Shimon Peres. Uriel Bachrach continues to lecture in various forums about this unique chapter in Israel's history. An English-language eBook edition was published in early 2016 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 256 pages, 15X22.5 cm

        Krav Maga - Combat Mindset & Fighting Stress

        How to Perform under Alarming and Stressful conditions

        by Eyal Yanilov and Ole Boe

        Krav Maga emerged from the Israel Defense Forces. It was then transformed into an integrated system of self-defense, fighting tactics, and VIP protection that meets the needs of government units as well as civilians, including men and women of all ages. This inventive new Krav Maga title, covering the yet-unknown inner work of the system, has been discreetly prepared over the last few years and relates to our classic bestselling Krav Maga book, How to Defend Yourself against Armed Assault, which has so far been published in twelve languages, including Japanese and Korean. As George S. Patton, the celebrated US Army general, said, “Now if you are going to win any battle you have to make the mind run the body.... When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired.... You've always got to make the mind take over...and keep going.” This innovative Krav Maga book depicts cutting-edge techniques and training methods for martial artists, and was tailored for law-enforcement and military personnel. It covers the most sensitive core topics that have proved to be highly applicable in professional and personal situations alike. Combat Mindset & Fighting Stress was prepared by Master Eyal Yanilov, who is the most distinguished successor of Krav Maga’s founder, Imi Sde-Or, and wrote the first Krav Maga book with him. Yanilov coauthored this latest work with his prominent disciple, Dr. Ole Boe, a Norwegian special forces fighter and psychologist. The book’s editor and publisher, Zvi D. Morik—the official publisher of the original Krav Maga series, and a direct student, assistant, and friend of Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or for over thirty years—considers it to be the most pioneering and revolutionary work among current Krav Maga literature. An English-language edition was co-published in spring 2020 with Meyer & Meyer Sport UK. A Chinese edition has been scheduled for publication in Fall 2024.

        EINSTEIN'S ELEVATOR

        Scientists who Changed the World

        by Felix Dothan

        The author writes about the life and work of prominent scientists who succeeded in unraveling secrets of Nature, and inventors who changed the course of human life. These scientists were real people, flesh and blood, each very different from the other. Among them were near-saints, such as Albert Einstein and Lise Meitner, alongside people almost from another world, like Srinivasa Ramanujan. There were eminent scientists who lacked intellectual integrity, such as Leibniz, or who arouse feelings of both admiration and revulsion, for instance Fritz Haber, and more: Archimedes, one of the founders of mathematics and inventor of advanced weaponry; Benjamin Franklin - businessman, pioneer of the theory of electricity, diplomat, author, and statesman; Davy – a sharp and brilliant chemist; and so on to the renowned astrophysicist Chandrasekhar, one of the scientists who, in recent decades, discovered astounding facts about the universe.   Along with the biographies of scientists, the book contains short stories about subjects on the outskirts of science - stories that are interesting and amusing, but instructive as well. Felix Dothan is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was a Visiting Scientist at the European Institute for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, and a Visiting Professor at the University of California and at Yale. 200 pages, 14.5X21 cn

        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.
