Martin D. Yaffe's Judaism and Environmental Ethics: A Reader is a well-conceived exploration of three interrelated questions: Does the Hebrew Bible, or subsequent Jewish tradition, teach environmental responsibility or not? What Jewish teachings, if any, appropriately address today's environmental crisis? Do ecology, Judaism, and philosophy work together, or are they at odds with each other in confronting the current crisis? Yaffe's extensive introduction analyzes and appraises the anthologized essays, each of which serves to deepen and enrich our understanding of current reflection on Judaism and environmental ethics. Brought together in one volume for the first time, the most important scholars in the field touch on diverse disciplines including deep ecology, political philosophy, and biblical hermeneutics. This ambitious book illustrates—precisely because of its interdisciplinary focus—how longstanding disagreements and controversies may spark further interchange among ecologists, Jews, and philosophers. Both accessible and thoroughly scholarly, this dialogue will benefit anyone interested in ethical and religious considerations of contemporary ecology.

This companion offers a unique introductory study of linguistics in India. Well supplemented with sample problems and linguistic puzzles to bolster analytical skills and logical reasoning, it promotes a unique inquiry-based approach to learning linguistics. The volume looks at all the major subdisciplines of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, and the interdisciplinary domains of psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. It provides a wealth of data not only from many Indian languages belonging to the primary language families present in the country – Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Austro-Asiatic, and Tibeto-Burman – but also from the endangered languages of the Tai-Kadai family of Assam and the Greater Andamanese family. The author gives a holistic view of the linguistic landscape of India and fills a significant gap in the study of the lesser-known languages of South Asia. This volume will be an excellent resource for students and researchers of Indian languages, cultural studies, South Asian studies, and all branches of linguistics.
She thought being a teenager was hard... Until the gods of Ancient Egypt drag her onto their chessboard. The stakes? Only the fate of the world, of course! Freya Hayes has mastered her training. At sixteen, despite having lost her parents at a young age, she’s got a solid head on her shoulders and an arsenal of martial arts moves to fight. Her mentor O’Keeffe and inquisitive buddy, Sam, form the trifecta to their little ghost policing squad. Good thing too, because an ancient Viking army of specters is getting ready to invade England, and Freya’s the only one standing between them and a massacre. Blessed with gifts of a Sage, Freya can fight ghosts - she’s also the only who sees through their innocent facade. Only, she isn’t. Another claims the title of Chosen One, a young man as infuriating as he is skillful. And when he’s thrown in the mix, the question is no longer will the Vikings win. Rather, will these two teens survive each other? Book I in a completed young adult urban fantasy trilogy with two snarky teens, plenty of bad guys, and some divine help - and hindrance. Perfect for teens of all ages!
