Описание: Annette Libeskind Berkovits thought her attempt to have her father record his life's story failed. But in 2004, three years after her father's death, she was going through his things and found a box of tapes - several years' worth - with his spectacular life, triumphs, and tragedies told one last time in his baritone voice.Nachman Libeskind's remarkable story is an odyssey through crucial events of the twentieth century. With an unshakable will and a few drops of luck, he survives a pre-war Polish prison; witnesses the 1939 Nazi invasion of Lodz and narrowly escapes; is imprisoned in a brutal Soviet gulag where he helps his fellow inmates survive, and upon regaining his freedom treks to the foothills of the Himalayas, where he finds and nearly loses the love of his life. Later, the crushing communist regime and a lingering postwar anti-Semitism in Poland drive Nachman and his young family to Israel, where he faces a new form of discrimination. Then, defiantly, Nachman turns a pocketful of change into a new life in New York City, where a heartbreaking promise leads to his unlikely success as a modernist painter that inspires others to pursue their dreams.With just a box of tapes, Annette Libeskind Berkovits tells more than her father's story: she builds an uncommon family saga and reimagines a turbulent past. In the process she uncovers a stubborn optimism that flourished in the unlikeliest of places.

Описание: A groundbreaking investigation of the brain s hidden logic behind our strangest behaviors, and of how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order to create our experience and preserve our sense of self. From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange thoughts and behaviors. When observed from the outside, these phenomena are often written off as being just crazy, but what if they were actually planned and logical? "NeuroLogic" explores the brain s internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to conscious decision making, and illuminates how it explains our most outlandish as well as our most stereotyped behaviors. From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, Dr. Eliezer Sternberg shows that there are patterns to the way the brain interprets the world patterns that fit the brain s unique logic. Unraveling these patterns and the various ways they can be disturbed will not only alter our view of mental illness and supernatural experience, but will also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves. (With black-and-white illustrations throughout.)

Автор: Eliezer Ben-Rafael, Miriam Ben-Rafael Название: Sociologie et sociolinguistique des francophonies israeliennes ISBN: 3631634773 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631634776 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 63560.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Ce livre explore les francophonies israeliennes. Il cloture une trentaine d’annees de recherches menees par les auteurs, un sociologue du langage, l’autre sociolinguiste du francais. Il analyse le pluralisme de la population francophone, ses perspectives et l’evolution du francais dans ses divers contextes. Ainsi sont etudiees les variations de la langue dont le franbreu. En parallele, ce livre se tourne vers les apprenants du francais qui, quant a eux, elaborent une nouvelle interlangue. Conjointement, ces travaux sociologiques et sociolinguistiques cernent les significations de la notion de francophonie dans une societe non-francophone. Langue d’immigration, symbole de distinction, variete vernaculaire et objet d’acquisition pragmatique, le francais est ici tout cela a la fois. Son etude eclaire sous un jour nouveau, a la fois la societe israelienne, et le cas de francophonies minoritaires. « Jamais le francais et la francophonie en Israel n’ont ete analyses de maniere aussi accomplie et originale que dans le livre de Miriam et Eliezer Ben-Rafael. Qu’il s’agisse de l’histoire de cette langue d’immigration de provenances diverses, de sa pratique en milieu minoritaire, de son apprentissage dans une societe plurilingue ou de sa description comme franbreu, ce livre eclaire son role dans la construction d’une francophonie transnationale et mondialisee. » (Jurgen Erfurt)
