A must-read book for understanding this vibrant and influential
modern Jewish movement Hasidism originated in southeastern Poland,
in mystical circles centered on the figure of Israel Ba'al Shem
Tov, but it was only after his death in 1760 that a movement began
to spread. Today, Hasidism is witnessing a remarkable renaissance
around the world. This book provides the first comprehensive
history of the pietistic movement that shaped modern Judaism.
Written by an international team of scholars, its unique blend of
intellectual, religious, and social history demonstrates that, far
from being a throwback to the Middle Ages, Hasidism is a product of
modernity that forged its identity as a radical alternative to the
secular world.
This book presents extensions to current commodity-flow models to
analyze the economic and environmental impacts of recent structural
changes, such as fragmentation of production and lengthening supply
chains. The extensions enable augmented commodity-flow models to
analyze the vulnerability of supply chains and regions to climate
change and extreme weather events. The models allow the explicit
treatment of trade in intermediate goods; the so-called "new
economic geography" behavioral foundations for production and
inter-industry and interregional trade; endogenous determination of
capital investment and employment; and changes in emissions
associated with production, consumption and freight movement.
Presenting a modeling framework and simulations that are based on a
thirty-year, spatial time-series of inter-industry and interstate
trade in the US, this unique book is a valuable resource for
regional scientists, economic geographers and transportation
modelers, as well as environmental and atmospheric scientists.

The first comprehensive history of the pietistic movement that
shaped modern Judaism This is the first comprehensive history of
the pietistic movement that shaped modern Judaism. The book's
unique blend of intellectual, religious, and social history offers
perspectives on the movement's leaders as well as its followers,
and demonstrates that, far from being a throwback to the Middle
Ages, Hasidism is a product of modernity that forged its identity
as a radical alternative to the secular world. Hasidism originated
in southeastern Poland, in mystical circles centered on the figure
of Israel Baal Shem Tov, but it was only after his death in 1760
that a movement began to spread. Challenging the notion that
Hasidism ceased to be a creative movement after the eighteenth
century, this book argues that its first golden age was in the
nineteenth century, when it conquered new territory, won a mass
following, and became a mainstay of Jewish Orthodoxy. World War I,
the Russian Revolution, and the Holocaust decimated eastern
European Hasidism. But following World War II, the movement enjoyed
a second golden age, growing exponentially. Today, it is witnessing
a remarkable renaissance in Israel, the United States, and other
countries around the world. Written by an international team of
scholars, Hasidism is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand
this vibrant and influential modern Jewish movement.
