This memoir is a personal history of landing on the shore of British mandate Palestine in 1936 after escaping Nazi Germany, witnessing the development of Tel-Aviv as a child and a young adult during a period of dramatic events: Arab riots; the Second World War; the rise of Jewish terrorist groups and resistance to the mandate; existential struggle of the fledgling Yishuv for survival during the waning years of the British mandate, and the birth of the State of Israel. This was also a period of breathtaking cultural, civic, and industrial development brought about by the influx of refugees...

Sunday, 14 march 1948 The small blue Ford pickup turned pulled up with its engine running across the ticket line of a movie house in Tel-Aviv. Two men wearing khaki sweaters and wool caps with a barely discernible embroidered Star of David and Sten guns slung over their shoulders pulled Michael out of the line and rushed him onto the back of the pickup. It took off as soon as he was hoisted aboard and the two men jumped in after them. From beginning to end, the incident took less than a minute. This abduction brought Michael into the Israeli Defense Forces and an isolated village of religious...

Six nights after seven o'clock during the week, and all day Sunday, the communist-sympathizer owner of the business leased the store to the local communist party for use as its meeting place. Un exchange for the pittance that he charged, the members would mop the floor, and haul to the back the accumulated refuse of the day. A tattered sign in the access passageway to the side of the building said BANANA CLUB ENTER SECOND DOOR FROM BEHIND. It was a widely known secret that this was a pseudonym for Communist...

subterfuge in academia
ISBN: 9781539165002 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A university campus is a remarkable place. It is a place of learning, scholarship, collegiality, inventiveness, and creation of knowledge that moves civilization forward. These coexist side by side with egotism, pettiness, petulance and personal rivalries. At the time I am speaking of, many a university was run by a scholar lacking experience or training to administer it, yet the institution continued to exist and function from day to day and from one year to the next, turning out graduates and publications at the steady rhythm of a metronome ceaselessly marking time. These two faces of a...

Looking for Karen Johnson
ISBN: 9781537759272 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When developing the plot for a novel, Rick Harper remembered Karen Johnson from his graduate student days. She was a graduate student two or three years his junior taking different classes from his, and moving with a different crowd; a former graduate school buddy of his remembered that she married Jeff Smith. Karen's olive-toned skin, short wheat-colored hair, and green eyes were tailor made for the character that he built around this image, but Karen was no more than a static memory without a personality. A snapshot and nothing more To identify the character with the image, Rick called...

From Algebra to Computational Algorithms: Kolmogorov and Hilbert's Problem 13
ISBN: 9781942795964 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Problem 13 of Hilbert's famous twenty-three is the most easily understood of the collection. The truth of Hilbert's conjecture concerning the resolution of his problem was intuitively pleasing and widely-held: roughly stated, the number of variables in an equation is a measure of the complexity of the equation. In 1957 a nineteen year old student of Andrey Kolmogorov, Vladimir Arnold, proved that two variables suffice. That is, any function of more than two variables can be recast as a function of only two variables. From Algebra to Computational Algorithms recounts the history of Problem 13,...
