Download or read book The Book of Why written by Judea Pearl and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.
Download or read book Mind the Gap written by Matthias Henze and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to understand Jesus of Nazareth, his apostles, and the rise of early Christianity? Reading the Old Testament is not enough, writes Matthias Henze in this slender volume aimed at the student of the Bible. To understand the Jews of the Second Temple period, it’s essential to read what they wrote—and what Jesus and his followers might have read—beyond the Hebrew scriptures. Henze introduces the four-century gap between the Old and New Testaments and some of the writings produced during this period (different Old Testaments, the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls); discusses how these texts have been read from the Reformation to the present, emphasizing the importance of the discovery of Qumran; guides the student’s encounter with select texts from each collection; and then introduces key ideas found in specific New Testament texts that simply can’t be understood without these early Jewish “intertestamental” writings—the Messiah, angels and demons, the law, and the resurrection of the dead. Finally, he discusses the role of these writings in the “parting of the ways” between Judaism and Christianity. Mind the Gap broadens curious students’ perspectives on early Judaism and early Christianity and welcomes them to deeper study.

Book Synopsis Marked in Your Flesh by : Leonard B. Glick
Download or read book Marked in Your Flesh written by Leonard B. Glick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-06-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Genesis tells us that God made a covenant with Abraham, promising him a glorious posterity on the condition that he and all his male descendents must be circumcised. For thousands of years thereafter, the distinctive practice of circumcision served to set the Jews apart from their neighbors. The apostle Paul rejected it as a worthless practice, emblematic of Judaism's fixation on physical matters. Christian theologians followed his lead, arguing that whereas Christians sought spiritual fulfillment, Jews remained mired in such pointless concerns as diet and circumcision. As time went on, Europeans developed folklore about malicious Jews who performed sacrificial murders of Christian children and delighted in genital mutilation. But Jews held unwaveringly to the belief that being a Jewish male meant being physically circumcised and to this day even most non-observant Jews continue to follow this practice. In this book, Leonard B. Glick offers a history of Jewish and Christian beliefs about circumcision from its ancient origins to the current controversy. By the turn of the century, more and more physicians in America and England--but not, interestingly, in continental Europe--were performing the procedure routinely. Glick shows that Jewish American physicians were and continue to be especially vocal and influential champions of the practice which, he notes, serves to erase the visible difference between Jewish and gentile males. Informed medical opinion is now unanimous that circumcision confers no benefit and the practice has declined. In Jewish circles it is virtually taboo to question circumcision, but Glick does not flinch from asking whether this procedure should continue to be the defining feature of modern Jewish identity.

Book Synopsis Tales Of Modern Judea: Short Stories by : Elias Sassoon
Download or read book Tales Of Modern Judea: Short Stories written by Elias Sassoon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories written long ago; cannot remember writing them. I was fresh from graduate school and adventures in a foreign country. My mind was filled with the thoughts of greatness, and leaving a childhood in Flushing, New York behind to conquer the world! Then, I came back home, back as a writer of fiction, back to the same apartment in which I'd grown up. My father, an angry, out-of-work factory worker, was still the asshole, roared, drank, punched and ridiculed. While listening, I wrote, locked in a room, pounding keys of an old Olivetti. Soon, finished with a novel and story collection, I sent them out. I imagined Madison Avenue publishers congratulating themselves on finding the next genius, that is, until my manuscripts were returned with a form rejection. Crushed and embarrassed. What did they know! Manuscripts streamed out across the U.S., followed by rejection. Eventually, I got out, and found jobs as a writer in Corporate America. The stories in this book date from that time.
Download or read book New Judea written by Benjamin Lee Gordon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Judea: Jewish Life in Modern Palestine and Egypt Montenegro and Bulgaria gained their political freedom from Ottoman rule, after the Russian Turkish War Italy, after throwing 06 the yoke of Austria and the Pope became united on ethnologic grounds and the unification of Germany was accomplished on ancient Germanic lines. The result of such doctrine placed the Jew in a most pathetic and singular position. As a good citizen, he participated in the fights for independence, and as a progressive, he was an adherent of the new science of anthropology. But when the struggle was over and his native country succeeded in its fight for independence, he was declared to be of a different race and nationality. Germany is for the Germanic race! Was the universal cry of the Fatherland. The Jew being of Semitic origin, naturally can have no claim on German soil. Anti-semitism, therefore, was the logical outcome of the new teaching. The Reform tion in Germany and elsewhere had illuminated the minds of the people, but had not softened their hearts. Luther, the creator of the Reforma tion. Was not in sympathy with the followers of an alien faith. The cultured Jew of Germany found himself between the anvil and the hammer. He could not consistently deny his Semitic origin, and would not accept the conclusion of the anti-semites, to relinquish his claim on his native country, having helped proportionately more than any other class of people to weld the new empire. The idea that Juda ism is merely a religious confession, as taught by the Mendelssohnian School, has indeed brought the adaptation of the Western European Jews as far as possible to the manners and aspirations of the dominant nationality among which they lived, but as a remedy against anti Semitism it turned out to be an illusion. A blind hatred of Jews which baffled all attempts of enlightenment was in progress in spite of the earnest desire to sacrifice their inner conviction to merge as com pletely as posible with the masses of their fellow-citizens; their honest efforts were spurned in contempt. The prevailing thought was. That the mere birth in a certain land does not change the racial pedigree. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The dramatic story of the last stand of a group of Jewish rebels who held out against the Roman Empire, as revealed by the archaeology of its famous site Two thousand years ago, 967 Jewish men, women, and children—the last holdouts of the revolt against Rome following the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple—reportedly took their own lives rather than surrender to the Roman army. This dramatic event, which took place on top of Masada, a barren and windswept mountain overlooking the Dead Sea, spawned a powerful story of Jewish resistance that came to symbolize the embattled modern State of Israel. Incorporating the latest findings, Jodi Magness, an archaeologist who has excavated at Masada, explains what happened there—and what it has come to mean since. Featuring numerous illustrations, this is an engaging exploration of an ancient story that continues to grip the imagination today.

Book Synopsis Jerusalem's Traitor by : Desmond Seward
Download or read book Jerusalem's Traitor written by Desmond Seward and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Jews revolted against Rome in 66 CE, Josephus, a Jerusalem aristocrat, was made a general in his nation’s army. Captured by the Romans, he saved his skin by finding favor with the emperor Vespasian. He then served as an adviser to the Roman legions, running a network of spies inside Jerusalem, in the belief that the Jews’ only hope of survival lay in surrender to Rome.As a Jewish eyewitness who was given access to Vespasian’s campaign notebooks, Josephus is our only source of information for the war of extermination that ended in the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple, and the amazing times in which he lived. He is of vital importance for anyone interested in the Middle East, Jewish history, and the early history of Christianity.
Book Synopsis The Course of Modern Jewish History by : Howard M. Sachar
Download or read book The Course of Modern Jewish History written by Howard M. Sachar and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 1225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this encyclopedic history of the Jews was first published in 1958, it was hailed as one of the great works of its kind, a study that not only chronicled an assailed and enduring people, but assessed its astonishing impact on the modern world. Now this scholarly and comprehensive book has been massively revised and updated by its author, a professor of modern history at the George Washington University and one of the most respected authorities on the lives and times of the Jewish people. The new edition casts additional light on the milestones of the Jewish saga from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth: the Jews' emergence from the ghetto and into the heart of Western society, the debate between the voices of tradition, assimilation, and Zionism; virtual destruction during the Holocaust; and troubled rebirth in Israel. Here, too, are evocative portraits of today's disapora, from the Jews of America to the embattled communities of the former Soviet Union and the Third World.
