Birthed from a mixture of real life testimonies and fiction, YOM KIPPUR unfolds as a Jewish family suffers the horrors of the Holocaust. Through the cruelest of separations in which survival is a daily miracle, only one thought unites them: They must live to be reunited! Enduring pain in the most terrible conditions, their feelings fluctuate from hatred to love and from calm to storm. Will the child ever forget the scenes he witnessed in the operation room of the concentration camp? Could an enemy really help him escape? Could a love be strong enough to overcome the barriers of animosity and rancor and to arise out of the post-war chaos and destruction? Must their lives be forever bound to the cursed war booty? Could uniting themselves to the itinerary of the Nazi gold be their path to freedom? Yom Kippur will lead you step-by-step through the answers to these questions to its surprising outcome, enveloping you with its plea for love and forgiveness while bringing you to tears.

Organisational boundaries are being transformed by downsizing, outsourcing, and networked links with customers and suppliers. Unprecedented advances in telecommunications and 'virtuality' are changing how companies occupy real space. To survive, managers must radically rethink the physical aspects of their companies. Based on cutting-edge research at such companies as Pacific Bell, Lever Brothers and Merrill Lynch, STRATEGY AND PLACE presents a framework for making key business decisions about one of the organisation's most valuable assets: its physical facilities and properties. O'Mara outlines three main approaches to real estate and facility management decision making: Incrementalism, whe...
The Laboratory of Progress: Switzerland in the 19th Century tells the improbable story of how a small, backward, mountainous agricultural country with almost no raw materials became an industrial powerhouse, a hub of innovation, a touristic mecca and a pioneer in transportation – all in the course of a single century. That a tiny landlocked country should become a dominant steamship builder for the rest of the world; that a country that had never seen a cotton plant should become the world’s second-largest textile producer; that a country with hardly any level terrain should come to boast the world’s most highly developed railway network; and that a country whose main export was impove...

The nucleus of the church’s vocation is to join the Spirit in giving communion in Christ to others, in the form of new Christian communities, for the benefit of the world. But can the church be a welcome gift?” In Giving the Church leading ecclesiologist Michael Moynagh draws together recent thinking from the worlds of ecclesiology and missiology with significant sociological work on the idea of ‘gift’, to provide a much-needed theological rationale for some of the key missiological and ecclesiological movements in today’s church. Part 1 reworks some of the big themes in ecclesiology from this giving perspective - the nature of the church, the four marks, the visible/hidden church and inclusion/exclusion. Part 2, meanwhile, draws on the extensive literature on gifts to offer an ethical framework for giving the church to others, and uses this framework to provide fresh readings of liberationist, herald and eucharistic models of the church. It concludes by arguing that giving the church away can be a route to making the church a more attractive gift.
