accessible, engagingly written analysis of the Arab-Israeli
conflict, discussing its most significant issues and events from
its onset to today. Narrative chapters, written from an objective
viewpoint, explain the topics in an easily understandable manner.

limited knowledge of the Arab-Israeli conflict, or a scholar in the
field, he or she will find the work beneficial. After an
introductory chapter providing a historical overview of the
Arab-Israeli conflict, chapters provide in-depth discussions of the
contradictory nationalist movements of Zionism and Palestinian
nationalism, the Israelis, the Palestinians, the United States'
role and position on the conflict, and the present situation and
what to expect in the future. The work includes 22 biographical
sketches of figures involved, such as Yasser Arafat, Ariel Sharon,
and Saddam Hussein. In addition, there are 17 primary documents, a

Toward a Holistic Intelligence: Life on the Other Side of the
Digital Barrier is a critical examination of how the Internet, our
current digital age, and people's continuous use of digital devices
is adversely affecting their thought processes, working memories,
attention spans, and overall level of intelligence. In doing so, it
explores how a larger intelligence based primarily on direct
insight and creative absorption, qualities which are integrally
part of people's emotive and sensorial lives, might allow for a
clearer exploration of their world and themselves at a time in
which our cognitive lives are being so thoroughly abrogated by the
Internet and its resultant technologies.
