SCRABBLE WITH SLIVOVITZ - Once upon a time in Yugoslavia

By: Adam YAMEY

Adam Yamey visited Yugoslavia frequently over a period of more than 20 years. He criss-crossed the country from north to south and east to west. During his travels, he stood in the footsteps of Archduke Ferdinand's assassin in Sarajevo and those of Emperor Diocletian in Split, ate Chinese food in Novi Sad and offal at Rtanj, and also played Scrabble with Yugoslavs all over Serbia. In this profusely illustrated, trail of memories, the author describes the friendships that he made with Yugoslavs all over the country, and how these led to his deeper understanding of, and love for their country. As the years passed, the author began noticing small things, which made little sense at the time, but later turned out to be portentous. These were early signs of the troubles that were to lead to the disintegration of Yugoslavia soon after the author's last visit to the country in 1990. Join the author in the exploration of a country that no longer exists.

Soap to Senate: A German Jew at the dawn of apartheid

By: Adam YAMEY

**A new insight into the genesis of apartheid** Franz Ginsberg left Germany in 1880. He settled in South Africa as an 18-year-old photographer, escaping the restrictions on Jews, only to adopt a homeland with escalating restrictions on 'black' and other non-European people. Franz flourished as a manufacturer of a large variety of domestic products, becoming well-known as an industrial pioneer. Soon, his concern for people's welfare plunged him to politics. From 1927 onwards, as one of the 32 elected Senators of the Union of South Africa, he attempted to mitigate the racist policies that many of his fellow legislators promoted. During his progression from Town Councillor to Senator, Franz questioned the law-making processes that were to lead eventually, after his death in 1936, to the establishment of apartheid. Franz Ginsberg, the author's great-grandfather, battled for a better world in a time not yet ready for that change-leaving a unique story and legacy on the blueprint of our modern world.

The Dynamics of Socio-Economic Development

An Introduction

By: Adam Szirmai

Why are poor countries poor and rich countries rich? How are wealth and poverty related to changes in nutrition, health, life expectancy, education, population growth and politics? This modern, non-technical 2005 introduction to development studies explores the dynamics of socio-economic development and stagnation in developing countries. Taking a quantitative and comparative approach to contemporary debates within their broader context, Szirmai examines historical, institutional, demographic, sociological, political and cultural factors. Key chapters focus on economic growth, technological change, industrialisation, agricultural development, and consider social dimensions such as population growth, health and education. Each chapter contains comparative statistics on trends from a sample of twenty-nine developing countries. This rich statistical database allows students to strengthen their understanding of comparative development experiences. Assuming no prior knowledge of economics the book is suited for use in inter-disciplinary development studies programmes as well as economics courses, and will also interest practitioners pursuing careers in developing countries.

Jacob Schiff and the Art of Risk

Jacob Schiff and the Art of Risk

American Financing of Japan's War with Russia (1904-1905)

By: Adam Gower

Jacob Henry Schiff (1847–1920), a German-born American Jewish banker, facilitated critical loans for Japan in the early twentieth century. Working on behalf of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Schiff’s assertiveness in favour of Japan separated him from his fellow German Jewish financiers and the banking establishment generally. This book’s analysis differs from the consensus that Schiff funded Japan largely out of enmity towards Russia but rather sought to work with Japan for over thirty years. This was as much a factor in his actions surrounding the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) as his concern to thwart Russian antisemitism. Of interest to financial historians alongside Japanese historians and academics of both genres, this book provides a lively and thoroughly researched volume that precisely focuses on Schiff’s mastery of banking.

Exodus To Africa

By: Adam YAMEY

This book is a personal account rather than an academic history. It tells the tales of some of ... [the author's] numerous relatives in order to illustrate many aspects of Jewish migration from Europe to the South of Africa. Once they were settled in the country, Jews played a disproportionately large role in its development: everything from opening up trade and commerce to fighting apartheid."--Page 6.

BORN IN BRESLAU: A JEWISH SCHOLAR IN PRUSSIA

By: Adam YAMEY

A book concerned with challenges faced by Jews in early 19th century Prussia. Until Hitler's rise to power, Breslau (now Wroc_aw) had one of the largest Jewish communities in Germany. In 1814, the author's ancestor Nathan Ginsberg was born in the city when Reform Judaism was in its ascendancy. In this book, his education is described in detail to illustrate the difficulties and decisions that Jews in Prussia had to face before members of his faith were given more freedoms in the latter part of the 19th century. The author also provides a traveller's guide to some of the places that Ginsberg might have known in his lifetime, and what is left of them today. Fully illustrated with monochrome images and some maps.

ALBANIA ON MY MIND

ALBANIA ON MY MIND

By: Adam YAMEY

The people of Albania achieved independence in 1912, having endured several centuries of Ottoman domination. After the First World War, they lived under a series of dictatorships beginning with that of King Zog. He was followed by Mussolini, and then by Hitler. They were 'liberated' by the Communist partisans at the end of the Second World War, only to be subjected to yet another dictatorship. This was led by Enver Hoxha. During his 30 year 'reign' Albania became even more impenetrable to outside observers than North Korea is today. In this book about Albania, published to celebrate 100 years of Albania's independence, Adam Yamey describes how his almost obsessive interest in the country developed and what he discovered about life inside the country's closely guarded, tightly sealed borders when he managed to visit it in 1984, the last year of Enver Hoxha's life.

FROM ALBANIA TO SICILY

By: Adam YAMEY

Albanian communities have been in existence in Sicily for over 500 years. Albanians have been living in Sicily since the 15th century. They have preserved their language and and traditions that pre-date the arrival of the Ottomans in the Balkans. This volume is about the descendants of the Albanians who left their Balkan homelands when they were invaded by the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. Known as the Arbëreshë in Sicily and the other parts of Italy where they settled, many of the descendants of these refugees have managed to continue their Albanian traditions, culture, and language whilst integrating harmoniously with their Italian neighbours. In this book, Adam Yamey describes his visit to the Sicilian Arbëreshë people and illustrates it with a profusion of fascinating photographs. Combining personal observation with in-depth research, this - at times entertaining, and always informative - personal travelogue is one of only a few books in English about Sicily's Albanians.

About Time

Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang

By: Adam Frank

The Big Bang is all but dead, and we do not yet know what will replace it. Our universe’s “beginning” is at an end. What does this have to do with us here on Earth? Our lives are about to be dramatically shaken again—as altered as they were with the invention of the clock, the steam engine, the railroad, the radio and the Internet. In The End of the Beginning, Adam Frank explains how the texture of our lives changes along with our understanding of the universe’s origin. Since we awoke to self-consciousness fifty thousand years ago, our lived experience of time—from hunting and gathering to the development of agriculture to the industrial revolution to the invention of Outlook calendars—has been transformed and rebuilt many times. But the latest theories in cosmology— time with no beginning, parallel universes, eternal inflation—are about to send us in a new direction. Time is both our grandest and most intimate conception of the universe. Many books tell the story, recounting the progress of scientific cosmology. Frank tells the story of humanity’s deepest question— when and how did everything begin?—alongside the story of how human beings have experienced time. He looks at the way our engagement with the world— our inventions, our habits and more—has allowed us to discover the nature of the universe and how those discoveries, in turn, inform our daily experience. This astounding book will change the way we think about time and how it affects our lives.

The 7 Kingdoms of the Telestial World

Adam from the Old Testament wrote these

By: Ben Adam

There are 7 Kingdoms that are inside the Telestial Kingdom. Adam of the Old Testament breaks this sacred information in the last days. This translation was orginally written in Hebrew. Ben Adam translates it to perfect English. The seven kingdoms are from top to bottom. When one arrives after the 1000 year millenium and after Christ's final judgement, if assigned to this kingdom you start at what Adam calls "Telestial 0". There are 3 kingdoms below Telestial zero and 3 above. Adam says they surpass all understanding and comprehension but gives us the first real indepth look of each kingdom which are all found here: sites.google.com/view/lawsofthetelestialkingdom/ The 3 Kingdom's above are "beyond imagination" but explained in detail The 3 Kingdom's below are "from similarities to earth life with a real purge to take place yearly, however since the body is resurrected, one cannot die". -Adam, Prophet of the Old Testament and first born with Eve
