Raphael
An authoritative introduction to one of the most influential painters in the history of art, written by the pre-eminent authority on the subject and informed by the latest research. More versatile and less idiosyncratic than Michelangelo, more prolific and accessible than his mentor Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, though he died at only thirty-seven, is considered the single most influential artist of the Renaissance. Here, art historian Paul Joannides explores the different social and regional contexts of Raphael’s work and discusses all aspects of his artistic output. He traces Raphael’s career from his origins in Urbino, through his altarpieces made in Umbria in the shadow of Perugino, to the first flowering of his genius in Florence where he painted a series of iconic Madonnas that are among the most beloved images in Western art. Raphael’s employment by the dynamic and demanding Pope Julius II gave him opportunities without parallel and encouraged the full expansion of his genius. As

The General's Son
A powerful account, by Israeli peace activist Miko Peled, of his transformation from a young man who'd grown up in the heart of Israel's elite and served proudly in its military into a fearless advocate of nonviolent struggle and equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis. His journey is mirrored in many ways the transformation his father, a much-decorated Israeli general, had undergone three decades earlier. Alice Walker contributed a foreword to the first edition in which she wrote, 'There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one.' In the new Epilogue he takes readers to South Africa, East Asia, several European countries, and the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel itself.

The Forgotten Palestinians
A vivid and incisive analysis of the complex relationship between Israel and its Palestinian citizens written by an acclaimed Israeli historian For decades, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have lived as Israeli citizens within the borders of the nation formed at the end of the 1948 conflict. Occupying a precarious middle ground between the Jewish citizens of Israel and the dispossessed Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Palestinians have developed an exceedingly complex relationship with the land they call home; however, in the innumerable discussions of the Israel-Palestine problem, their experiences are often overlooked and forgotten. In this book, historian Ilan Pappé examines how Israeli Palestinians have fared under Jewish rule and what their lives tell us about both Israel’s attitude toward minorities and Palestinians’ attitudes toward the Jewish state. Drawing upon significant archival and interview material, Pappé analyzes the Israeli

Luvatun maan lumo, E-bok
”Me suomalaiset kristityt rakastamme Israelia”, luki englanniksi banderollissa, jota suomalaiset kantoivat Jerusalemin kaduilla. ”Israel on Jumalan silmäterä”, julisti mielenosoittajan kyltti Helsingissä. Vuosikymmenestä toiseen marssit, kokoukset ja juhlat ovat levittäneet samaa viestiä yhteiskunnallisten asenteiden vaihdellessa.Suomalaisten käsitys Israelin valtiosta on pitkän ajan kuluessa kietoutunut näkemyksiin Raamatusta, Raamatun maista, juutalaisuudesta ja Jumalan toiminnasta maailmassa. Luvatun maan lumo selittää, miksi monet suomalaiset kristityt ovat olleet niin kiinnostuneita heille vieraasta kansallisesta liikkeestä, sionismista, ja asettuneet puolustamaan Israelia. Teos auttaa ymmärtämään eri tapoja hahmottaa sekä Lähi-idän tapahtumia että niistä esiintyviä vastakkaisia tulkintoja.Vuosikymmenten aikana sadattuhannet suomalaiset ovat matkanneet Israeliin. Innostukseen sekoittuu yhteenkuuluvuuden tunne: suomalaiset ja Israelin juutalaiset on nähty Jumalalle uskollisina kansoina, joiden karu kotimaa on saatu kovalla työllä kukkimaan itäisten, jumalattomien vihollisten alituisesta uhasta huolimatta. Israelin valtio on nähty myös merkkinä - todisteena Raamatun ja sen ennustusten luotettavuudesta. Tämä on tehnyt uskonnollisesta hyvin poliittista.

And in the new Preface to the 10th Anniversary Edition, he reflects on the growth of the Palestinian-rights movement since he published the first edition of this work, in 2012.

Unsettled Labors
In Unsettled Labors, Rachel H. Brown explores the overlooked labor of migrant workers in Israel’s eldercare industry. Brown argues that live-in eldercare in Palestine/Israel, which is primarily done by migrant workers, is an often invisible area where settler colonialism is reproduced culturally, economically, and biologically. Situating Israeli labor markets within a longer history of imperialism and dispossession of Palestinian land, Brown positions migrant eldercare within the resulting tangle of Israeli laws, policies, and social discourses. She draws from interviews with caretakers, public statements, court documents, and first-hand fieldwork to uncover the inherently contradictory nature of elder care work: the intimate presence of South and Southeast Asian workers in the home unsettles the idea of the Israeli home as an exclusively Jewish space. By paying close attention to the comparative racialization of migrant workers, Palestinians, asylum seekers, and Mizrahi and Ashkenazi

Rachael & Vilray: Rachael & Vilray
Since their formation in 2015, Brooklyn-based duo Rachael & Vilray have achieved a certain timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Though rooted in the language of an earlier age, their songs transcend nostalgia with wit and a flair for the theatrical. On their third album West of Broadway, vocalist Rachael Price (also of Lake Street Dive) and guitarist/singer/songwriter Vilray evolve their music's previous dreaminess to achieve a refreshing angularity built on left-of-center instrumentation (e.g., vibraphone and alto saxophone coasting above the moody strains of baritone sax and trombone). Produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Bahamas), West of Broadway unfolds in a series of sharply drawn vignettes inspired by a recent fascination with classic musicals - bringing their luminous vocals to offbeat tales of love and heartache along city streets.
