"In the wake of the Enlightenment...the suddenness with which Jews
began to appear and make a mark in numerous...areas...is nothing
short of astounding. It seemed as if a huge reservoir of Jewish
talent, hitherto dammed up behind the wall of Talmudic learning
were suddenly released to spill over into all fields of Gentile
cultural activity." -Raphael Patai, The Jewish Mind "Quite
suddenly, around the year 1800, this ancient and highly efficient
social machine for the production of intellectuals began to shift
its output. Instead of pouring all of its products into the closed
circuit of rabbinical studies, where they remained completely
isolated from general society, it unleashed a significant and ever
growing proportion of them into secular life. This was an event of
shattering importance in world history." -Paul Johnson, History of
the Jews The Golden Age of Jewish Achievement chronicles the
astonishing record of one people's disproportionate achivements and
the causes behind it. The stunning performance of Jews over the
last 125 years can only be compared with that of the Italians
during the Renaissance, the Greeks during the era of Pericles, or
the Dutch during their own Golden Age. The Golden Age details that
record in more than 60 exhibits covering the range from Nobel
prizes to Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame awards, from Pulitzer Prizes
to chess champions, from philanthropy to Supreme Court Justices and
more. But more intriguing is the question, "Why has this happened?"
(the question posed by Rabbi Harold N. Kushner, author of When Bad
Things Happen to Good People). Through fascinating stories, such as
"Lev Leviev and the Soviet Jews" (at the start of Chapter 20) and
"The Jazz Singer" (at the start of Chapter 13) the book illustrates
the life and circumstances of hundreds of remarkable Jews before
drawing its perspective together in Chapter 25 - Why? Timely, the
book raises notions advanced by Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, and
recent debates over "Jewish genes" as well as Charles Murray's 2007
Commentary article where he argued for natural selection. The
Golden Age makes the case for culture. It explains how the
evolution of Judaism, coupled with a tortured 2,000 year history
has shaped a unique combination of cultural values which have made
Jews into the world's most successful tribe of Outliers. For
example, they were history's first tribe to mandate literacy for
all of their people. The book challenges natural selection, second
generation immigrant status, and other theories which have been
advanced over the years to explain the phenomenon. The Golden Age
research is detailed in the extensive exhibits, end notes,
bibliography and index containing more than 4,000 entries. But it
is the stories and the thought provoking analysis that makes The
Golden Age of Jewish Achievement a compelling and much discussed
read.
Offices are not our natural habitat. Leadership is easier when we
understand the nine instincts that still drive human behaviour.
With the Industrial Revolution only 250 years ago, we left our
hunting, gathering and village societies to work in offices and
factories. The behaviour that ensured our ancestors' survival on
the savannah plains of Africa over the millennia is alive and well
in today's workplaces. The nine instincts explain the reasons, and
the solutions, to the challenges that leaders commonly face. Based
on the author's wide experience in large organisations combined
with witty true stories of chimps from Gombe, Tanzania and Taronga
Zoo, Sydney, Hardwired Humans explains the psychology behind the
human instincts of social behaviour. As you read this entertaining
book, you will learn how the instincts of clan connections,
hierarchy, gossip, politics, snap judgments, status displays and
sexual competition continue to drive modern office interactions
just as they have driven human interaction for millennia. The book
shares a practical framework that helps makes sense of human
behaviour and allows leaders to manage more effectively. In a note
introducing the book, Dr Jane Goodall calls it a 'compelling book'.
The Australian Financial Review Boss magazine highly recommends the
book as one 'that will captivate anyone who finds the "people
stuff" confounding.'
I too like you dreamed of someday becoming a model and seeing
myself on a giant billboard on 42d street and Time Square. But
unlike you in those days the early 1980's there were no books on
the subject of becoming a Model or very few. So after having doors
slammed in my face and losing money on useless schools, pictures
and three years of my life trying to make a career I gave up my
dream of ever becoming a Model. However through mi trials I have
learned a great deal. One day a friend who was starting his own
career as a Model asked," How do I go about landing an agent? So I
told him what little I remembered. It turned out that the little. I
knew was a lot of information. He turned to me and said, "Why if
you know so much won't you manage my career? I replied, "I can't
manage you, you have to mange yourself" At point the seed was
planted for this book. So I began a quest researching books,
talking with people in the business and interviewing fashion
designers to understand what they are looking for in a Model This
book was born Modeling As Your Job A step-by-step guild on how you
can become a working Model.
