Marked in Your Flesh
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 Christi...

Ecology and Evolution of Dung Beetles
This book describes the evolutionary and ecological consequences of reproductive competition for scarabaeine dung beetles. As well as giving us insight into the private lives of these fascinating creatures, this book shows how dung beetles can be used as model systems for improving our general understanding of broad evolutionary and ecological processes, and how they generate biological diversity. Over the last few decades we have begun to see further than ever before, with our research efforts yielding new information at all levels of analysis, from whole organism biology to genomics. This book brings together leading researchers who contribute chapters that integrate our current knowledge of phylogenetics and evolution, developmental biology, comparative morphology, physiology, behaviour, and population and community ecology. Dung beetle research is shedding light on the ultimate question of how best to document and conserve the world's biodiversity. The book will be of interest to established researchers, university teachers, research students, conservation biologists, and those wanting to know more about the dung beetle taxon.
The Humanities
Covering nearly 1,400 information sources, this book maps the vast terrain of knowledge in humanities studies. Detailed annotations give users an in-depth view of the sources and thorough indexes provide easy access. Web resources are included on a highly selective basis. The number of information sources and the diversification of formats are revolutionizing library and scholarly practice. While accessing information is easier, evaluation of resources has become increasingly more difficult. Covering a broader territory and more sources than previous editions, this book offers an up-to-date, reliable guide to nearly 1,400 of the most important and representative information sources in the im...
Breaking Down Walls
Day had not yet spread its wings. The smell of antiseptic and anticipation lingered in the halls of the hospital in the little village outside Berlin in a war-torn Germany. Suddenly, a baby's first outcry shattered the calmness of the early hour. In a room, Greta, a blonde, beautiful woman, listened to the crying baby; and when the nurse wanted to give her the baby to hold, she turned away. 'No, no, I am tired. I don't want it.' Elke Hawthorne shares the fascinating tale of her life, from her humble birth devoid of a loving parent's anticipation, to her fear and confusion at being asked to spy on the U.S. by the East German police. Born in East Germany at the end of WWII, she escaped the conditions of socialist Germany by crossing the borders of the newly built Berlin Wall even under gunfire. She lived as a dancer, married a U.S. soldier, moved to Texas, survived in the path of a tornado, and was even asked to spy for her native country. Although she is forced by nature and necessity to trust those around her, she is betrayed over and over again. Yet through it all, she finds a way to forgive and forget, always moving onward to help those around her.
