I Didn't Want to Float, I Wanted to Belong to Something
This volume fills an important gap in research on the refugees from Nazism who settled in Britain, by giving a full and wide-ranging account of the organisations that they established. The contributions cover these organisations chronologically, from those that did not outlast the war to those still active today, and in terms of their function, as cultural or religious institutions, as historical resources for the study of Nazism and the refugees, or as all-purpose representative refugee associations. Any scholar or student working in this field needs to have an understanding of the organisations that were and are so characteristic of the refugee community.

Beaumont Crusaders and Campaigners
"This is the story of four families from four different areas of France which, until now, have been generally regarded as one family ... Members of the various Beaumont familes have fought in the Crusades, in the Hundred Year's War, throughout the Wars of the Roses, in the English Civil War, in the Boer War, in the two World Wars and in Korea ... When members of the different Beaumont families encountered each other, they assumed that they were related. And yet, research for this book revealed no examples of intermarriage between the various families while living in England."--Back cover
Learning to Love
In this new book, Martin Israel explores the question: How can we learn to obey the commandment to love our neighbor? Through powerful meditations on the nature and responsibilities of existence and love Israel shows to his readers some of paths for the "mystical walk" that ends in love. He writes:"One does not believe in God; one knows Him by experience, and that experience makes all life's vicissitudes worth while. For this end is glorious [and] as one grows so one's vision expands to include all humanity and ultimately all that lives."
