Advanced Analysis of Fluid Power Systems

By: Reuven Eshel

This book is based on the author’s varied experience: • Missile design and management at RAFAEL, the Israeli Armament De- velopment Authority, • Teaching and research projects carried out by his graduate students and himself in Israel (Technion and Tel Aviv universities), the US (University of California, Berkeley) and Canada (Mc-Gill University), • His experience as consultant in Israel for 34 start-ups and high-tech companies. Through his courses the author provided his students the foundation for future careers, as many of them have become leading figures in Israeli high- tech industries. The book is structured as a textbook for students in Mechanical or Aero- nautical engineering, but it can also be used as a reference book for engineers working in related fields.

Holy War in Judaism

The Fall and Rise of a Controversial Idea

By: Reuven Firestone

Holy war, sanctioned or even commanded by God, is a common and recurring theme in the Hebrew Bible. Rabbinic Judaism, however, largely avoided discussion of holy war in the Talmud and related literatures for the simple reason that it became dangerous and self-destructive. Reuven Firestone's Holy War in Judaism is the first book to consider how the concept of ''holy war'' disappeared from Jewish thought for almost 2000 years, only to reemerge with renewed vigor in modern times. The revival of the holy war idea occurred with the rise of Zionism. As the necessity of organized Jewish engagement in military actions developed, Orthodox Jews faced a dilemma. There was great need for all to engage in combat for the survival of the infant state of Israel, but the Talmudic rabbis had virtually eliminated divine authorization for Jews to fight in Jewish armies. Once the notion of divinely sanctioned warring was revived, it became available to Jews who considered that the historical context justified more aggressive forms of warring. Among some Jews, divinely authorized war became associated not only with defense but also with a renewed kibbush or conquest, a term that became central to the discourse regarding war and peace and the lands conquered by the state of Israel in 1967. By the early 1980's, the rhetoric of holy war had entered the general political discourse of modern Israel. In Holy War in Judaism, Firestone identifies, analyzes, and explains the historical, conceptual, and intellectual processes that revived holy war ideas in modern Judaism.

Poetry and Prophecy

The Image of the Poet as a "Prophet", a Hero and an Artist in Modern Hebrew Poetry

By: Reuven Shoham

The book discusses the image of the prophet and the role of prophecy in Modern Hebrew Poetry. The first part of the book presents the prophetic archetypal biographies of prophets, heroes and artists in Hebrew and European mythologies. It also examines the historical facts which lead to the departure of the prophet from Hebrew literature following the destruction of the second temple. Finally, it addresses the necessity of reappearance of the prophet in the 18th and 19th centuries in Hebrew thought and literature and provides a short history of that reappearance in Haskala literature. The second part focuses upon three major “prophets poets”: Haim N. Bialik, Avraham Shlonski and Uri Z. Greenberg. The book may be of interest to scholars of Literature, Judaism, Philosophy, Science of Religion, Anthropology, Folklore and Rhetoric.
