  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  "Listen to me, Stasha," Rutka grasped both her friend's hands and confided to her about the diary she is writing. "Soon, according to the rumors, they will transfer us to the ghetto in the Kamionka neighborhood. It is a closed ghetto, surrounded by a wall. Before they take us away from here, I will hide the diary. I have it all planned. I will hide it on the staircase leading to the apartment entrance... Please, make sure to take it with you after we are no longer here." 
  The diary that Rutka hid in the staircase, was discovered sixty long years later and that is how this book came to be written The book spans the entire twentieth century up to the present. It tells the true-life story of Jacob, who was born into a Hasidic family in Bendzin, Poland, and chose a different path, under the influence of the ideological revolution and socialist movements that stirred Europe at the time. Towards the end of World War I, he made his way to Palestine with a group of friends, as a pioneer. He settled on a kibbutz in the Jordan Valley, while taking an active part in the significant events of the period. This is a story that begins with a sense of drive and youthful enthusiasm, and continues with a twist of fate, by which Jacob finds himself back in Poland, married and the father of two' when the ominous approach of the German Nazi Army draws near. Joining the narrative are his two daughters – Rutka in Poland and the narrator from Israel – who found each other sixty years later, thanks to the diary. Together they piece together secrets, loves, youthful adventures, the story of their father, and the thread of their lives. 
  Dr. Zahava Scherz (Laskier) was born and lives in Israel; she is married and the mother of a son and daughter. For four decades she has been an academic faculty member at the Weizmann Institute of Science, engaged in research and development in science education. She has published dozens of scholarly articles and scientific textbooks.

  Rise and Fall of the Stuart...

  Editors Charles River

  England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. England’s republican experiment started out as a work of collaboration and compromise; lords, army officers and members of Parliament (MPs) worked together to find a political settlement that did not include the despised royal House of Stuart. Nonetheless, religious and political division made collective rule unworkable, and ultimately, one man emerged from the chaos to rule the country. He had risen from a humble background to become the leading general of the Civil Wars, and as a man of staunch beliefs and ruthless pragmatism, he controlled England from 1653-1658 under the title of Lord Protector. In essence, he was a king in all but name. That man was Oliver Cromwell, and in the popular imagination, Cromwell has overshadowed the rest of the leaders of the parliamentary cause and the New Model Army.  
  Cromwell’s death would lead to a restoration of the royal line, but an uprising of a completely different nature would soon unfold on English soil – the Glorious Revolution, an intriguing story of a power war exacerbated by ruthless ambition, under-the-table plotting, and the treachery of familial betrayal. That said, it’s important to remember that the deposed James II did try to return to England, and there would be generations of war waged for the Stuart cause by the Jacobites, who were not only supporters of the exiled Stuart monarchy, but also against the political and religious settlements agreed to across the British Isles. It’s no surprise the Jacobites continue to interest so many people, as do the plot twists, near misses, and “what-ifs” involved.

  The New Dark Age - Why Liberals...

  Nigel Biggar

  In an increasingly polarized age, culture wars are everywhere. They are often criticized as superficial or confected disagreements designed to distract us from more important issues. Is this true, or are they rather more fundamental than that?In this thoughtful and passionate intervention, renowned theologian and moral philosopher Nigel Biggar argues that 'culture wars' are in fact political and moral debates that cut to the very quick of some of the most substantial questions of our time, ranging from the welfare of children to the way we conceive and manage ethnic and cultural differences in diverse societies. The fact that these debates are so often characterized by bad faith, dishonesty, and mindless abuse exposes the rot at the heart of the intellectual culture of the west, in universities, the media, and beyond. An authoritarian desire to suppress or smear opponents and exercise the power of intimidation and coercion is a dramatic illustration of a dangerous reality: our fragile and valuable liberal culture of rational truth-seeking and good faith civility is under threat. A new dark age looms.Mixing firsthand experience with broad ethical, political, and cultural reflection, this is a powerful and erudite polemic from one of our most respected thinkers.
