Day 3 of a 5 Day Headache
So. This book was written on the Notes app on my phone over the course of twenty or so headaches. See, I get these awful headaches: for hours or days at a time, it feels like my face and my head are trying to burst apart from each other. It can get pretty bleak. Meanwhile, everyday we are making the world an uglier, stupider, more horrible place to live, and the time we have left seems like it’s going to be short and bad. With that in mind but while trying to remain a hopeful sort, I’ve decided that it’s still worthwhile to make an effort. So, now I write even when I most vehemently didn’t feel like it: in the thrum and disquiet of chronic pain. And that’s this book—a little weat...

Israeli Development Aid to Sub-Saharan Africa
This book deals with Israeli development aid to Sub-Saharan Africa countries as a part of Israeli foreign policy.

The Two Houses of Israel
The Two Houses of Israel: State Formation and the Origins of Pan-Israelite Identity bridges the gap between the biblical narrative of the great united monarchy ruled by David and Solomon and archaeological and historical reconstructions of a gradual, independent formation of Israel and Judah. Based on a thorough examination of the material remains and settlement patterns in the southern Levant during the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age and on a review of the relevant historical sources, this book provides a detailed reconstruction of the ways in which Israel and Judah were formed as territorial polities and specifically how the house of David rose to power in Jerusalem and Judah. Omer Sergi further situates the stories of Saul and David in their accurate social and historical context in order to illuminate the historical conception of the united monarchy and the pan-Israelite ideology out of which it grew. Sergi provides a new history of the early Israelite monarchies, their formation, and the ways in which these social and political developments were commemorated in the cultural memory of generations to come.
Nomads of the Mediterranean: Trade and Contact in the Bronze and Iron Ages
Three millennia of cross-Mediterranean bonds are revealed by the 18 expert summaries in this book—from the dawn of the Bronze Age to the budding of Hellenization. An international team of acclaimed specialists in their fields—archaeologists, historians, geomorphologists, and metallurgists—shed light on a plethora of aspects associated with travelling this age-old sea and its periphery: environmental factors; the formation of harbors; gateways; commodities; the crucial role of metals; cultural impact; and the way to interpret the agents such as Canaanites, "Sea Peoples," Phoenicians, and pirates. The book will engage any student of the Old World in the 3000 years before the Common Era.
The Philistines and Aegean Migration at the End of the Late Bronze Age
In this study, Assaf Yasur-Landau examines the early history of the biblical Philistines who were among the 'Sea Peoples' who migrated from the Aegean area to the Levant during the early twelfth century BC. Creating an archaeological narrative of the migration of the Philistines, he combines an innovative theoretical framework on the archaeology of migration with new data from excavations in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel and thereby reconstructs the social history of the Aegean migration to the southern Levant. The author follows the story of the migrants from the conditions that caused the Philistines to leave their Aegean homes, to their movement eastward along the sea and land routes, to their formation of a migrant society in Philistia and their interaction with local populations in the Levant. Based on the most up-to-date evidence, this book offers a new and fresh understanding of the arrival of the Philistines in the Levant.
