A New York City veterinarian shares some of his experiences with his patients.
An Armenian national raised in Russia, Rouben Mamoulian (1897--1987) studied in the influential Stanislavski studio, renowned as the source of the "method" acting technique. Shortly after immigrating to New York in 1926, he created a sensation with an all-black production of Porgy (1927). He then went on to direct the debut Broadway productions of three of the most popular shows in the history of American musical theater: Porgy and Bess (1935), Oklahoma! (1943), and Carousel (1945). Mamoulian began working in film just as the sound revolution was dramatically changing the technical capabilities of the medium, and he quickly established himself as an innovator.

For Yale University Press, which celebrates its hundredth birthday in 2008, the century has been an eventful one, punctuated with no few surprises. The Press has published more than 8,000 volumes through the years, scores of bestsellers and award-winners among them, and these books have come to fruition through the efforts of a host of colorful authors, editors, directors, board members, and others of intellectual and literary renown.

Verbal attacks against Israel for human rights violations have turned into physical attacks against the Jewish community worldwide. How has that happened? This book attempts to explain the phenomenon. Anti-Zionists, whose primary goal is destruction of the State of Israel, use accusations of the worst forms of human rights violations against Israel to delegitimize the state. These accusations criminalize the Jewish population worldwide for actual or presumed support of the State of Israel. The contemporary international human rights system and the existence of the State of Israel are twin legacies of the Holocaust. The failure of the human rights system to prevent attacks on Israel and the Jews is an aftershock of the Holocaust.

Tsvi Hirsh and Gelye Devorah Rosen Shulkin were born and died in Russia. They lived just before 1900 and they had nine children before Gelye's death in 1884. Tsvi married again Machla Raisl and they had several children before the Russian Revolution when Tzvi was exiled to Vologda, Russia for several years. Several of his children came to America, settling in Ohio, Wisconsin and New York. Others remained in Russia and some later immigrated to Israel and South Africa. This material attempts to trace these related Jewish lines and bring them together and also includes some material on lines that have not yet been firmly connected to the Tsvi Hirsh Shulkin line and collateral lines.
