A daring novella about the loss of innocence in pre-war Germany.
Reunion is the story of intense and innocent devotion between two young men growing up in "the soft, serene, bluish hills of Swabia," and the sinister (but all too mundane) forces that end both their friendship and their childhood.
The year is 1932. Hans Schwartz is Jewish, the son of a Stuttgart doctor who asserts that the rise of the Nazis is "a temporary illness, something like measles which will pass off as soon as the economic situation improves." The Holocaust would be unthinkable for these...

This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Ghengis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry.

The world chess championship between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer at Reykjavik in 1972 was the most widely publicised and eagerly analysed beforehand of any chess match to date. It seized the attention of the world's press and media in general in unprecedented fashion and inspired more books and column inches than any chess contest before or since. Hardinge Simpole now commemorate this stellar chess clash by reprinting the eye witness accounts by Grandmaster Emeritus Harry Golombek OBE and Professor George Steiner. Grandmaster Golombek analyses the moves while Professor Steiner searches...

PROMISE AND FULFILMENT Palestine. PREFACE: THIS book consists of three parts, Background, Close-up and Perspective . The first part is a survey of the develop ments which led to the foundation of the State of Israel.

I am not sure whether this emphasis has not occasionally resulted in over-emphasis as is almost in evitable when one tries to redress a balance by spot-lighting aspects which are currently neglected. But it was...

Als grte biologische Entdeckung des Jahrhunderts wurden die Forschungsergebnisse Kammerers in den 1920er Jahren gefeiert. Dem Wiener Biologen schien es mit seinen Aufsehen erregenden Tierexperimenten gelungen zu sein, eine ungeklrte Frage der Evolution zu beantworten: Wird die Vernderung der Arten durch Vererbung erworbener Eigenschaften bewirkt oder durch Zufalls-Mutationen und Auslese? Kammerer war von Ersterem berzeugt und demonstrierte seine Behauptung am Beispiel der Geburtshelferkrte. Mit diesem Experiment geriet Kammerer zwischen die Fronten eines mit ungewhnlicher Hrte ausgetragenen...

In The Sleepwalkers and The Act of Creation Arthur Koestler provided pioneering studies of scientific discovery and artistic inspiration, the twin pinnacles of human achievement. The Ghost in the Machine looks at the dark side of the coin: our terrible urge to self-destruction...
Could the human species be a gigantic evolutionary mistake? To answer that startling question Koestler examines how experts on evolution and psychology all too often write about people with an 'antiquated slot-machine model based on the naively mechanistic world-view of the nineteenth century. His...
