American Rabbi
American Rabbi provides a comprehensive and insightful assessment of Rabbi Jacob Agus' standing as a notable Jewish thinker. The volume brings together original writings by a range of distinguished contributors to consider the main aspects of Agus' life and work in detail and to flesh out the broad and repercussive themes of his corpus. Taken as a whole, they present a broad and substantial picture of a remarkable American Rabbi and scholar, illuminating Agus' committment to Jewish people everywhere, his profound and unwavering spirituality, his continual reminders of the very real dangers of pseudo-messianism and misplaced romantic zeal, and his willingness to take politically and religiously unpopular stands. Formulated as a companion volume to The Essential Agus, which presents selections of Agus' own writings, the contributors' analyses are based on specific selections of Agus' work which appear in The Essential Agus. Though each volume stands on its own, they are closely interconnected and readers will benefit from consulting both works.
The Essential Agus
A sampling of the writing of the American rabbi and scholar Agus (1911-86), who was born and raised in an orthodox environment but was highly influenced by American liberalism, and critiqued both traditions wile seeking to integrate them. The 25 selections demonstrate his work in modern and medieval Jewish philosophy, Jewish- Christian dialogue, American Judaism, the concept of God, Jewish law as standards, and other areas. Includes a complete primary bibliography. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The Bible, The Power of the Word
The power of the words in the Bible and their meaning is the object of our study. The words and their implications take us through a magic journey of events. Many events happen through the word of God or the word of Moses or the word of Jacob or the words of Joseph.

The word of Isaac and his blessing to his children Jacob and Esau is so meaningful that a feud occurs between them, as we shall see. By going through the historical chain of events, we will try to understand the words, their meanings, and what is hidden between the lines.
Innate Antiviral Immunity
This book explores methods to study the complex and evolving interplay between a virus and its host that range from model systems to the detection of chemical molecules. The collection starts with the application of humanized mice and zebrafish as model organisms to study virus-host interactions and induction of innate immune responses. Subsequent chapters outline diverse methods to detect small interfering RNAs, microRNAs, and virus-derived dsRNA from a variety of cells, tissues, and organisms, as well as to interrogating the cytosolic RNA and DNA sensing pathways, including using RNA PAMPs as molecular tools, purification of cGAMP from virus particles and infected cells, and mechanisms to ...
Globalization, Health, and the Environment
Leading health scholars reveal the impact of globalization on human health, as it is mediated through environmental change.
