The Arab-Israeli conflict is fraught with political complexity. It
entails long-standing, entrenched views on the part of all the
participants, direct and indirect, and is heavily charged with
emotion. It is a subject of great political and military actuality.
The Middle East is fast becoming a testing ground for modern
weapons systems and for modern, conventional war doctrines, a
recent example being the Yom Kippur War.Most publications -
articles, papers, books - on the war were produced while sentiments
were still high and the armies still formulating their conclusions.
Confusion, controversy, and emotions eclipsed clarity. An
international symposium was held two years after the war to
objectively debate the war, its lessons, and the Middle East
conflict in general.This book contains all of the speeches and
papers presented at that symposium plus a record of three related
events. These were question-and-answer sessions with Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin, Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, and Jerusalem Mayor
Teddy Kollek. These interviews, along with the symposium,
contribute to an understanding of the Middle East conflict and of
the thinking and personalities of key figures in Israeli life and
politics.Contents and Contributors:OPENING CEREMONY Shimon Peres

14 contributions present mathematical models for different imaging
techniques in medicine and nondestructive testing. The underlying
mathematical models are presented in a way that also newcomers in
the field have a chance to understand the relation between the
special applications and the mathematics needed for successfully
treating these problems. The reader gets an insight into a modern
field of scientific computing with applications formerly not
presented in such form, leading from the basics to actual research
activities.
17th Annual Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year - Church There's
an urgent need for Christian ministry in our cities-but we need a
guide. Known around Oakland, California, as "OG Rev.," Reverend
Harry Williams's calling is to the streets: to the hungry,
homeless, addicted, incarcerated, and vulnerable. In Taking It to
the Streets, he invites us into his world, bringing us face-to-face
with both the injustices that plague our cities and the gospel of
compassion that offers hope to the downtrodden. Rev. Williams takes
on racism, the plight of children in the inner city,
gentrification, urban violence, the prosperity gospel, and more,
all from the perspective of someone who understands these phenomena
from the inside. Whether we ourselves are from the city or not, we
need a deep understanding of its social, political, and spiritual
realities if we're to minister effectively. Taking It to the
Streets offers firsthand accounts of urban life alongside
large-scale considerations of its systemic challenges, all in the
context of the life-giving good news of Jesus. This is the
introduction to urban ministry we need. Filled with both sober
truths and the hope of Jesus, it will inspire and equip a new
generation of ministers to our cities.
