  Traveler's Guide to Jewish Germany

  A comprehensive traveler’s guide to important Jewish historical and cultural sites in Germany. No country in the world, outside of Israel itself, contains more Jewish historical sites of importance than Germany does today. The largest Jewish cemetery in Europe, the Weissensee, is in Berlin, while the deepest, and perhaps most beautiful, mikveh (ritual bath) in Germany dates from the thirteenth century and can be found in Friedberg.  Ranging from large synagogues to former prayer rooms to cemeteries, the sites listed serve as testaments to the life and culture of German Jewish communities for more than one thousand years. They have withstood the ravages of time as well as the barbaric efforts of the Third Reich to obliterate them.  Today, these sites are becoming increasingly popular tourist attractions. However, many are off the beaten path and are visited only occasionally. That is just one reason why Traveler’s Guide to Jewish Germany is so valuable. In addition to listing locations of the sites (which may also be found on the maps contained in the book), the authors advise keeping a flexible schedule to accommodate unexpected closings.  Also included are tips for getting around in Germany, utilizing city and town tourist offices, and asking questions for directions. Proper etiquette is also addressed, and a comprehensive chronology of major historical events in German Jewish life and culture is provided.  Many Jewish rituals and traditions, including family names, the Yiddish language, and Talmudic teaching, have their origins in the Jewish communities of Germany. Now, these communities may finally be explored. Praise for Traveler’s Guide to Jewish Germany“Strongly recommended for people interested in history who would also like to go on a journey of discovery.” —Katholische Nachrichten-Agentur

  The acclaimed author of Walking the Americas shares his epic journey through the war-torn Arabian Peninsula in this fascinating travelogue. 
   
  Following in the footsteps of famed explorers such as Lawrence of Arabia and Wilfred Thesiger, British explorer Levison Wood brings us along on his most complex expedition yet: a circumnavigation of the Arabian Peninsula. Starting in September 2017 in a city in Northern Syria, a stone’s throw away from Turkey and amidst a deadly war, Wood set forth on a 5,000-mile trek through the most contested region on the planet. 
   
  Wood moved through the Middle East for six months, from ISIS-occupied Iraq through Kuwait and along the jagged coastlines of the Emirates and Oman; across Yemen—in the midst of civil war—and on to Saudia Arabia, Jordan, and Israel, before ending on the shores of the Mediterranean in Lebanon. Like his predecessors, Wood travelled through some of the harshest and most beautiful environments on earth, seeking to challenge our perceptions of this part of the world. Through the people he meets—and the personal histories and local mythologies they share—Wood examines how the region has changed over thousands of years and what it means to its people today.

  For more than 25 years, there’s always been a home in Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader for those stories about doctor visits or routine surgeries gone horribly wrong--the wrong limb getting amputated, the wrong person getting a transplant, the nurse who didn’t notice her patient had died…for three days.

Read all about:* The woman who needed her gall bladder out…so she removed it herself* The man who waited in an emergency room…for three weeks* The heart surgeon who got caught drawing his signature on his work* And many more stories of dreadful doctors, hospital horrors, and bad medicine.
