JOHN UND YONI
by Mike Carmel
JOHN UND YONI – Zwillinge – zwei Religionen, zwei Nationen, eine Seele von Mike Carmel Das Ergebnis eines verbotenen, stürmischen Liebesverhältnisses zwischen einer jungen Psychologiestudentin und ihrem verheirateten Dozenten 1979 sind die Zwillingsbrüder John und Yoni, die während ihres ersten Lebensmonats unfreiwillig getrennt und in verschiedenen Adoptivfamilien aufgezogen wurden. John wächst in Liverpool, England, im römisch-katholischen Glauben auf, Yoni in Raanana, Israel, im jüdischen Glauben. Im Alter von 21 Jahren treffen sich beide zum ersten Mal wieder. Beide sind streng gläubig, jeder in seiner eigenen Überzeugung. Als sich ihre ungleichen kulturellen Wege treffen, folgt ein interessanter Prozess gegenseitiger Entdeckungen. Eine fesselnde, anregende, amüsante und bisweilen widersprüchliche Geschichte entspinnt sich. Das Leben der Zwillingsbrüder wird jäh überschattet durch den Tod eines der beiden als Opfer eines Selbstmordattentats. Der andere Zwilling bleibt allein auf der Welt zurück, auf dem schwierigen Weg der Selbstfindung des allein gelassenen Bruders. Mike Carmel wurde 1956 in Liverpool geboren. Er studierte Wirtschaft an der Universität Liverpool und der Brunel Universität in London. Obwohl der Autor eine christliche Erziehung genoss, trat er 1980 zum Judentum über. Folglich bewahrt er einen tiefen Respekt für beide Religionen. Mike Carmel lebte in den letzten 25 Jahren in Israel. Er diente in der israelischen Armee als Sanitäter, war in der Softwareindustrie tätig und arbeitete in beiden Ländern als Pädagoge. 1981 heiratete Mike seine jetzige israelische Frau. Die beiden haben drei Kinder. Seine Tochter, der das Buch gewidmet wurde, wurde während ihres Armeedienstes 2003 bei einem Selbstmordattentat schwer verletzt

John and Yoni
Twin brothers - two religions - two nations - one soul!
by Mike Carmel
John and Yoni - Twin brothers - two religions - two nations - one soul! Mike Carmel The result of an illicit tempestuous affair between a young psychology student and her married lecturer in 1979, twin brothers John and Yoni are involuntarily separated during their first month of life and raised in different adopting families. John grows up in Liverpool, England, in the Roman Catholic faith. Yoni grows up in Ra'anana, Israel, in the Jewish faith. At age 21, they meet up for the first time. Both are devout believers, each in his own religious conviction, and an interesting process of mutual discovery follows as their diverse cultural paths merge. What follows is a captivating, stimulating, inquisitive, amusing, and occasionally conflicting story, which often verges on the bizarre. Then, one of them tragically ends his life as a victim of a suicide bombing, and the other twin is left to endure the harsh process of reinterpreting his personal identity, once again alone in the world. Mike Carmel was born in 1956 in Liverpool, and studied economics at Liverpool University and at Brunel University in London. Although the author had an Anglican upbringing, in 1980 he decided to convert to Judaism. He consequently maintains a deep respect for both religions. Working in the hi-tech sector, Mike has been living in Israel for the past 25 years. He served in the Israel Defense Forces as a medic, and has also worked in several educational capacities in both countries. Mike married his Israeli wife in 1981, and they have 3 children. His daughter, to whom the book has been dedicated, was seriously injured her army service by a suicide bomber in 2003.

John et Yoni
by Mike Carmel
John et Yoni - Deux frères jumeaux - deux religions - deux nations - une seule âme !Mike Carmel A la suite d'une relation illicite passionnée entre une jeune étudiante en psychologie et son professeur marié, en 1979, deux frères jumeaux, John et Yoni, sont involontairement séparés lors du premier mois de leur vie et sont élevés dans deux différentes familles adoptives. John grandit en Angleterre à Liverpool, dans la foi romaine catholique. Yoni est élevé à Raanana, en Israël, dans la confession juive.A l'âge de 21 ans, ils se rencontrent pour la première fois. Ils sont tous deux très croyants, chacun dans ses propres convictions religieuses, et il s'ensuit un processus intéressant de découverte mutuelle, alors que leurs voies culturelles différentes se rencontrent. Ce qui suit est une histoire captivante, stimulante, amusante, qui soulève des questions et occasionnellement des conflits, et souvent débouche sur le bizarre. Alors, l'un d'eux perd tragiquement la vie, victime d'un attentat suicidaire à la bombe, et son frère jumeau reste, pour endurer le difficile processus de remise en question de sa propre identité, se retrouvant de nouveau seul au monde. Mike Carmel est né en 1956 à Liverpool et étudia l'économie à la Liverpool University et à la Brunel University, à Londres. Bien que l'auteur fût élevé dans la foi anglicane, il décida, en 1980, de se convertir au judaïsme. Il conserva désormais un profond respect pour les deux religions.Travaillant dans le secteur de la Hi Tech, Mike vit en Israël depuis 25 ans. Il a servi dans l'armée israélienne comme infirmier et il a aussi rempli diverses fonctions dans l'éducation dans les deux pays. Mike s'est marié avec une israélienne en 1981 et ils ont trois enfants. Sa fille, à laquelle le livre est dédié, a été gravement blessée pendant son service militaire par un terroriste suicidaire en 2003.

April 2008Die Vorbereitung des Romans
Vorlesung am Collège de France 1978-1979 und 1979-1980
by Roland Barthes, Éric Marty, Horst Brühmann, Nathalie Léger, Nathalie Léger
Im April 1978 beschließt Roland Barthes, einen Roman zu schreiben, kommt aber über Stichworte nicht hinaus. Die Erfahrung dieses Scheiterns macht er in den folgenden Jahren zum Thema der theoretischen Arbeit: Er widmet dem Übergang »vom Schreiben-Wollen zum Schreiben-Können« zwei Vorlesungen am Collège de France. Darin geht er der Frage nach, wie aus verstreuten Ideen ein Textkontinuum entsteht, das einen »Realitätseffekt« erzeugt. Er behandelt aber auch, am Beispiel von Proust, Flaubert und Tolstoi, den Prozeß des Schreibens sowie die »diätetischen Regeln«, denen sich die Autoren unterwerfen – die Einsamkeit, die Nacht, die Stimulanzien …

And What It Means Today
by Marc James Léger

November 2023Ganoderma Diseases of Tropical Crops
by Carmel A Pilotti, Paul Dennis Bridge
The fungal genus Ganoderma includes around 80 currently recognized species that are widely distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions, and cause disease in a range of economically important perennial crops and tree-like plants. Ganoderma root and lower stem rots have a significant impact on yields from crops including oil palm, coconut, beverage crops, Acacia and rubber. The identification of species responsible for stem and butt rots is often ambiguous as closely related species may only be distinguished by subtle morphological differences. Within species there can be considerable morphological plasticity and this can make morphology-based identification difficult, particularly for species described from a single specimen. Molecular techniques are helping to slowly resolve Ganoderma taxonomy but it will be some time (if ever) before the taxonomy is fully resolved. This book brings together information on Ganoderma species that are reported to be responsible for crop diseases in tropical and sub-tropical agriculture and covers taxonomy, biology, genetics, aetiology, epidemiology and control. This book is an essential resource for researchers in Ganoderma in crop science and tropical agriculture, as well as practitioners and industry.

Billy Jenkins: Europe's King of the Cowboys
by Hugo N. Gerstl
illy Jenkins’ career spans the years 1895-1954. He was King of the Cowboys, the most popular act in all Germany, hero of German pulp fiction – the last genuine hero of the “American” Wild West. Yet, like Karl May before him, he never set foot in America...Billy became one of the world’s earliest superstars. He thrilled millions between the two World Wars, built a palatial mansion on the hill in Berlin, complete with a dude ranch in his backyard. In 1932, after joining the Nazi Party, he became their favorite, and soon reached the pinnacle of his success – this, despite the fact that he was half-Jewish! As his star waned, not because he was Jewish but because his name sounded too American as Germany entered World War II, Billy rediscovered his Jewish roots, and… but that’s for the reader to find out.Hugo N. Gerstl, nationally famous American trial lawyer, world traveler and author of the best-sellers Scribe: The Only Female Pope, Amazing Grace: The Woman Pirate, Legacy: The Birth of Modern Turkey, ChildFinders, and Stalemate, which so far have been translated into Portuguese, Czech, and Turkish, lives in Carmel, California with his wife Lorraine, a writer and teacher. Together they have raised five children, now grown. Published By Pangæa Publishing Group,2019. 534 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm

The Lazarus Shares
A Wertheim's Return To Berlin
by T.M. Löwenthal
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Germans offer to return unclaimed properties to the survivors and heirs able to provide proof of original ownership. This is the story of those who inherited the challenge of such an offer, those who would build a case to reclaim the assets and risk revisiting the past. Part exposé and part family saga, The Lazarus Shares is a tale within a tale, the story of emigrant wealthy Wertheims, Jewish Berliners whose present-day heirs face the ironic task of amassing proof of their family’s Berlin credentials. But it is in-between these timelines that the real story is revealed, a brother and sister trying to keep up with their mother, the wild Lili whose mastery of assimilation is exceeded only by her mastery of a vagabond life. Stretching from Kassel to Jerusalem, Budapest to London, Hollywood to Bogota, the story unravels one man’s stand against the past, Gus Maparae’s legacy to his daughter, Emma, the last of the Wertheims, the last pawn left standing. The author lives with her family in a small house on the Southern Carmel Mountains in Israel enjoying a view to Phoenician ruins, a magical milieu to her other pursuits as a teacher of Philosophy (Ethics) and local tour guide. An English-language eBook edition has been scheduled for publication in fall 2017 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 360 pages 15 x 22.5 cm.
