  A personal and philosophical meditation on the Hebrew Bible, its stories, and its sages.In this volume, Gershon Rubin attempts to draw the secrets of the antediluvian world into the modern day. Through the lens of a lifetime of spiritual learning, he explores the ancient saga of creation, Adam and Eve, and the generations to come after. As Rubin states by way of introduction to The Hebrew Saga, “My first name, Gershon, is similar to the Greek word geron (old man). Thus through my ‘geronoscope,’ I view the over-four-thousand-year-long written history of the Hebrew nation, which resulted in the origination of this my world-view, or world outlook.”

  Left for Dead - Shipwreck...

  In Left for Dead, Eric Jay Dolin—“one of today’s finest writers about ships and the  
  sea” (American Heritage)—tells the true story of a wild and fateful encounter  
  between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a British  
  warship in the Falkland archipelago during the War of 1812. 
  Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors  
  and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard,  
  abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a  
  half. With deft narrative skill and unequaled knowledge of the very pith of the  
  seafaring life, Dolin describes in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly  
  desperate existence of the castaways during their eighteen-month ordeal—an alltoo-common fate in the Great Age of Sail. 
  A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout— 
  involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity,  
  severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a dog, the birth of a  
  baby, a perilous thousand-mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an  
  improbable rescue mission, and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful  
  wartime prize—Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress  
  acting both nobly and atrociously, and offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era  
  in American maritime history. 
  “An absorbing adventure that explores the dark shadows of instinct and self-preservation, and the hardships and stress that stretch the bonds of humanity.  
  Fascinating reading.”—Stephen R. Bown, author of Island of the Blue Foxes:  
  Disaster and Triumph on the World’s Greatest Scientific Expedition
