Beschreibung

"Antisemitism: Understanding Its Roots and Impact" offers a comprehensive exploration of one of history's most persistent forms of hatred. This timely work examines the complex nature of antisemitism, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day and analyzing its impact on both Jewish communities and society at large. The book argues that antisemitism is not merely prejudice against Jews, but a complex social phenomenon reflecting broader societal issues and serving as a barometer for democratic health.

 
Structured in three main sections, the book covers the historical roots of antisemitism, its modern-day expressions, and strategies for combating this prejudice. It draws on a wide range of evidence, including historical documents, sociological studies, and contemporary case studies, to support its arguments. The authors explore how religious, economic, and political factors have contributed to the development and perpetuation of anti-Jewish sentiment throughout history, providing crucial context for understanding its deep-seated nature.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive approach, combining historical analysis with contemporary insights and practical strategies. By examining the intersection of antisemitism with other forms of prejudice and its relationship to broader issues of identity and globalization, the work offers readers a nuanced perspective on this complex topic. It equips students, scholars, policymakers, and concerned citizens with the knowledge and tools to recognize, challenge, and combat antisemitism in their communities, ultimately working towards a more inclusive and just society.

Tour Wars

Carla Luna

Ten days, two rivals, and a busload of tourists. How bad could it be? 
For archaeologist Emilia Flores, landing a fellowship to work at the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy is a dream come true. The only catch? She’ll be digging alongside her infuriating nemesis, TJ Mayer, who’s been a constant thorn in her side. 
TJ isn’t about to pass up the Pompeii project. Sure, he’ll be stuck working with Emilia, but he thrives on challenging her. And he hasn’t forgotten that secret kiss they shared at an archaeology conference last winter. 
Though unearthing Pompeii’s treasures might be a dream, student debt is a nightmare that never takes a vacation. So, when TJ and Emilia are offered a lucrative side job to lead a ten-day tour through southern Italy, they grudgingly agree to tackle it together. 
Forced to set aside their animosity and work as a team, they forge an unexpected camaraderie. As the sparks between them ignite, their rivalry gives way to passion, making it easy to forget their years of fierce competition. But what happens when the tour ends and the real world steps in? 
Tour Wars is a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a nerdy cinnamon roll hero, a strong-willed Latina heroine, and plenty of hotel hijinks. It can be read as a standalone.

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the...

Doreal

The history of the tablets translated in the following pages is strange and beyond modern scientists' comprehension. Their age is astounding, dating back 36,000 years B.C. Thoth is an Atlantean Priest-King who established a colony in ancient Egypt after the mother country was sunk. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has been incorrectly attributed to Cheops. He included his knowledge of ancient wisdom as well as securely hidden records and instruments from ancient Atlantis.
From approximately 50,000 B.C. to 36.000 B.C., he ruled the ancient race of Egypt for approximately 16,000 years. The ancient barbarous race among which he and his followers had settled had advanced to a high level of civilization at the time. Thoth was immortal, that is, he had defeated death, passing only when he wished and not through death. His vast knowledge elevated him to the throne of the various Atlantean colonies, including those in South and Central America.
When the time came for him to leave Egypt, he built the Great Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed his records inside, and appointed guards from among the highest of his people to guard his secrets. The descendants of these guards later became the pyramid priests, through whom Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, The Recorder, by those living in the age of darkness that followed his death. The halls of Amenti were transformed into the underworld, the Halls of the Gods, where the soul passed after death for judgment.
The ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of men in later ages, as described in the tablets. As a result, he incarnated three times, the last time as Hermes, the thrice-born. In this incarnation, he left the Emerald Tablets, a later and far less complete exposition of the ancient mysteries.

The Trickster Gods - Deities of...

Odessa Nightshade

The trickster god is a figure that appears in mythologies across the world, embodying deception, wit, and unpredictability. These deities challenge societal norms, defy authority, and blur the boundaries between good and evil. Often mischievous and cunning, they are not bound by conventional morality, instead operating through trickery, subversion, and humor to achieve their goals. While they may appear as troublemakers, their actions frequently lead to unexpected wisdom, transformation, or creation.
Trickster gods serve as both disruptors and innovators. By breaking rules, they expose the rigidity of societal structures, forcing individuals and cultures to reconsider what they believe to be true. In some traditions, they are creators who shape the world through cunning rather than brute force. In others, they act as divine messengers, weaving chaos into cosmic order. Their duality—both destructive and constructive—makes them some of the most compelling figures in mythology.
Loki, the infamous Norse trickster, is a master of deception, shifting alliances and playing both hero and villain within the same myths. Anansi, the spider god of West African folklore, uses intelligence and cleverness to outwit stronger opponents, often teaching moral lessons through his trickery. Hermes, the Greek god of thieves and messengers, personifies swift cunning, charming even the mightiest gods with his persuasive words. Native American traditions tell of Coyote, a shape-shifter whose antics bring both laughter and misfortune, illustrating the fine line between wisdom and folly. Across the Pacific, Maui, the Polynesian trickster, steals fire and slows the sun, securing gifts for humankind through his mischievous daring.
