Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Ora Murphy’s heartwarming contemporary romance novel, The Pruning, follows Ruth Anasco in her struggle to find her roots and establish an identity for herself and her children. Brought up by distant adoptive parents, Ruth remains unclear about her heritage until she meets the daughter of a prominent Jewish family at a boarding school in Spain. The family invites her into their home, treating her as their own and inspiring her to practice Judaism. More than 20 years later, still passionate about Judaism, she applies to begin the official conversion process. Awaiting the results of her application with apprehension, Ruth meets Samuel, a man whose whole identity is tied to his Jewish roots. As their love story evolves, cracks begin to appear when the question of identity arises. In flashbacks, readers also learn of Ruth’s first marriage to Hector, an egotistical painter who is physically and emotionally abusive. When she leaves him ten years later, the story recounts her endeavor to provide a stable home for her three children. An inspiring and loveable main character, Ruth shows personal growth throughout the story as she learns to value who she is and makes strides in her career and personal life. Minor characters are equally well-developed, propelling or challenging Ruth’s search for her identity. The author builds suspense with surprising turns. In the beginning, Samuel seems the perfect match for Ruth, but his hesitance in accepting her as she is, and his broken promises raise doubts. Meanwhile, ex-husband Hector pleads his way back into Ruth’s life, but his past behavior makes her wary. The story’s ending is thoroughly satisfying as Ruth finally finds answers for long-held questions and discovers who she truly is. The Pruning raises essential questions about identity and the importance of a sense of self-worth regardless of one’s roots. It is an irresistible read for anyone attracted to the theme of identity interlaced with a soul-stirring romance.

The Politics of Militant Group Survival in the Middle East

The Politics of Militant Group Survival in the Middle East

Resources, Relationships, and Resistance

By: Ora Szekely

This book compares the performances of four key non-state actors in the Arab-Israeli conflict ecosystem: the PLO, Hamas, Hizbullah, and Amal. It argues that it is not the assets a militant group has, but rather how it acquired them that matters in explaining the variation in these actors' abilities to militarily resist and politically recover from confrontations with far more powerful adversaries. Groups that rely on marketing campaigns to secure local support and regional patronage do far better than those that rely on coercion or even barter. The book develops a typology of organizations based on their foreign and domestic policies, which has interesting implications for other non-state actors, such as ISIS. It is based on field research in Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, and Syria, including interviews with members of a range of Lebanese and Palestinian militant groups, as well as politicians, UN staff, journalists, and members of the Jordanian and Israeli armies.

Christians and a Land Called Holy

How We Can Foster Justice, Peace, and Hope

By: Charles P. Lutz,Robert Ora Smith

Fair-minded and sympathetic to Jewish, Muslim, and Christian concerns, Lutz and Smith provide a clear account of the Israeli-Palestinian situation and a compelling plea for Christian involvement in the area. Carefully sorting out the tangled historical and religious roots of the problems, they reveal the strong forces at work in the conflict and lay out the driving biblical notions of election and covenant, the historical causes of the bitter and divisive clashes of the last 50 years, the complex demographic and political issues today, how Palestinians (particularly Christians) have been affected by the turmoil, and how, finally, Christians must engage the future of justice and peace. Includes maps and twelve black and white photos.

CANCER AND THE FAMILY CAREGIVER

CANCER AND THE FAMILY CAREGIVER

Distress and Coping

By: Ora Gilbar,Hasida Ben-Zur

This book is the product of the authors’ research and clinical practice in the field of psycho-oncology, stress, and coping for a period of over twenty years. It fills a gap that exists in the discussion of caregiver distress felt by both cancer researchers and psycho-oncologists in the vital area of predicting, acknowledging, and alleviating the distress of caregivers of cancer patients, and it focuses on the caregivers of cancer patients in various phases of the illness. The discussion of cancer-patient caregivers is divided into three aspects: theoretical (Part 1), research (Part 2), and practical (Part 3) issues. The analysis of these areas can be useful to clinicians, researchers, medical/psychological social workers, and nurses by familiarizing them with the spectrum of stresses experienced by cancer patients and their caregivers, and the coping methods that have proven most effective. Part One presents theoretical background on the structure and progression of the caregiver role and how caregivers cope with the illness as explored in recent literature. Part Two presents empirical research on caregiver psychological distress carried out by the authors during 1993-1999. Part Three examines two important issues. The first is intervention for reducing caregiver distress, and the second issue is the ethical question of caregiver involvement in the patient’s medical decisions. The book is timely, as it is felt that the issue at hand will have mounting importance and relevance to our society as it experiences growing longevity and concomitant challenges in cancer caregiving.

Designing and Building Enterprise Knowledge Graphs

By: Juan Sequeda,Ora Lassila

This book is a guide to designing and building knowledge graphs from enterprise relational databases in practice.\ It presents a principled framework centered on mapping patterns to connect relational databases with knowledge graphs, the roles within an organization responsible for the knowledge graph, and the process that combines data and people. The content of this book is applicable to knowledge graphs being built either with property graph or RDF graph technologies. Knowledge graphs are fulfilling the vision of creating intelligent systems that integrate knowledge and data at large scale. Tech giants have adopted knowledge graphs for the foundation of next-generation enterprise data and metadata management, search, recommendation, analytics, intelligent agents, and more. We are now observing an increasing number of enterprises that seek to adopt knowledge graphs to develop a competitive edge. In order for enterprises to design and build knowledge graphs, they need to understand the critical data stored in relational databases. How can enterprises successfully adopt knowledge graphs to integrate data and knowledge, without boiling the ocean? This book provides the answers.

Listening Well

On Beethoven, Berlioz, and Other Music Criticism in Paris, Boston, and New York, 1764-1890

By: Ora Frishberg Saloman

The twelve essays in Listening Well illuminate aesthetic, educative, and evaluative strategies utilized by writers in Paris, Boston, and New York to guide listeners in confronting the challenges of musical modernity between 1764 and 1890. They interpret criticism from treatises, journals, and newspapers for its importance in cultural history and consider the reception of major works by Beethoven and by Berlioz. The essays explore contrasting responses to new operas and symphonies by composers, librettists, authors, critics, and conductors as well as by writers including Chabanon, Lacépède, Berlioz, Urhan, D'Ortigue, Dwight, Fuller, Watson, and Hassard. Readers interested in perceptions of Classicism and Romanticism in music as they relate to French, German, and American literature and criticism will discover how audiences on both sides of the Atlantic were encouraged to listen attentively to the new and controversial in music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Cellular Radiation

Is This Our Next Titantic?

By: David R. James,Ora James Murphy

Largely based on the highly acclaimed book, A Handy Way to Cook Your Brain - What's the damage? by the late Dr. David James and Ora James, the current publication, Cellular Radiation: Is This Our Next Titanic'takes a hard look at the potential health risks caused by mobile phone transmissions, WiFi, microwaves, wireless technology - and electrosmog (esmog), a term directly linked to today's prevalent cell telephony/wireless technology. While having been widely used throughout esmog-aware Europe, for the last 15 years, the term esmog is only now beginning to be recognized in the US.Cellular Radiation also addresses the alarming rise in electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) in humans which is rapidly spreading throughout the world. Reviewed by internationally acclaimed authorities in the healthcare sector, Ora James Murphy abridged the original, condensing its updated contents. Carefully researched and designed to create awareness and provide hands-on facts and evidence, Cellular Radiation makes for an easy, non-scientific read, geared for the broad public to be introduced to the new and very real commodity called esmog.
