This book documents how Israel emerged as one of the world's
leading centers of high technology over the last three decades and
the impact that it has had, or failed to have, on the wider economy
and politics. Based on the study of start-up companies, the project
attributes the rise of Israel's tech economy to its unique history,
political system, and culture, and shows how those same factors
have failed it in the quest to diversify its economy to make it
more inclusive and equitable. This work will interest economists,
political scientists, Israeli studies academics, investors, policy
makers, journalists, and business readers.

This volume is dedicated to the international artist Kata Legrady's
graphic work, through a selection of drawings, sketches and
preparatory studies published on the occasion of the exhibition at
Fondazione Mudima in Milan. Through the graphic work gathered in
this volume, we discover her creative praxis which, according to
Arturo Schwarz, "is determined, to a great extent, by her
unconscious; the work has a playful dimension; she observes the
world with a gaze that has conserved the innocence, curiosity and
inventiveness of childhood". Finally, an essay by Bazon Brock
brings a deep insight on the importance of drawing in the practice
of contemporary art.
The radical response to conservative heritage tours and banal
day-tripper guides, Rebel Footprints brings to life the history of
social movements in the capital. Transporting readers from
well-known landmarks to history-making hidden corners, David
Rosenberg tells the story of protest and struggle in London from
the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. From the
suffragettes to the socialists, from the Chartists to the trade
unionists, the book invites us to step into the footprints of a
diverse cast of dedicated fighters for social justice.
Self-directed walks pair with narratives that seamlessly blend
history, politics and geography, and beautifully illustrated maps
immerse the reader in the story of the city. Whether you are
visiting it for the first time, or born and raised in it, Rosenberg
invites you to see London as you never have before: the nation's
capital as its radical centre.

J is the title that scholars ascribe to the nameless writer they
believe is responsible for the text, written between 950 and 900
BCE, on which Genesis, Exodus and Numbers is based. In The Book of
J, Bloom and Rosenberg draw the J text out of the surrounding
material and present it as the seminal classic that it is. In
addition to Rosenberg's original translations, Bloom argues in
several essays that J was not a religious writer but a fierce
ironist and a woman living in the court of King Solomon. He also
argues that J is a writer on par with Homer, Shakespeare and
Tolstoy. Bloom also offers historical context, a discussion of the
theory of how the different texts came together to create the
Bible, and translation notes. Rosenberg's translations from the
Hebrew bring J's stories to life and reveal her towering
originality and grasp of humanity.
Whether rendering the Bible as wondrous or as strangely familiar,
David Rosenberg's magisterial translation forces us to ask
again--and at last in literary terms--why the Bible remains a
crucial foundation of our culture. Until today, translators have
presented a homogeneous Bible in uniform style--even as the various
books within it were written by different authors, in diverse
genres and periods, stretching over many centuries. Now,
Rosenberg's artful translation restores what has been left aside:
the essence of imaginative creation in the Bible. In A Literary
Bible, Rosenberg presents for the first time a synthesis of the
literary aspects of the Hebrew Bible--restoring a sense of the
original authors and providing a literary revelation for the
contemporary reader. Rosenberg himself brings a finely tuned ear to
the original text. His penetrating scholarship allows the reader to
encounter inspired biblical prose and verse, and to experience each
book as if it were written for our time.
These composite landscapes are recreated places from an estranged
homeland. Visible and obscured parts of the landscape suggest the
interplay of effects between man and nature, as well as the
imperfections of memory. The discontinuity induces the viewer to
draw on their own experiences to complete the work. The textures of
human fingerprints in the work evokes the uniqueness of our
connection with nature and our impressions upon it.
In 1990, the international bestseller, The Book of J (1990),
co-authored by David Rosenberg and Harold Bloom (Grove; Faber in
the U.K.) was followed by several books of poetry and prose (A
Poet's Bible is the first biblical translation to win a major
literary award), and then, in 2013, A Life in a Poem began as a
Guggenheim Fellowship project. Now, in this trailblazing narrative
about where we are going as a species, Rosenberg shows us how he
became a writer both ancient and contemporary. The crucial Jewish
poet of his time, rooted in the Hebrew of the Bible and the
existential sublime of the New York School, Rosenberg has been read
so far, by Jews and non-Jews, mainly for his experimental vision.
Donald Hall described him as "an ancient Hebrew biblical poet as if
writing today in the rhythms of the United States". Among critics,
Harold Bloom states that "the play of languages emerges in
Rosenberg as it does not in King James," while Frank Kermode wrote
in the New York Times Book Review, "he must somehow be modern as
well as faithful to the past, reproducing an ancient, strange,
uncanny vigor, bearing in mind American poetry's struggle with
natural speech". More recently, Adam Kirsch writes that Rosenberg
is "replacing the doubtful miracle of divine inspiration with the
genuine miracle of poetic inspiration", and Oxford's John Barton
describes his work in the New York Review of Books as "neither epic
nor romance nor tragedy nor comedy yet all these at once". These
words may now apply as well to Rosenberg's innovative new memoir, A
Life in a Poem.

With the Practice of Lectio Divina we seek to deepen our
interpersonal relationship with God through reflection, prayer and
contemplation. We are called regularly to an "experience of desert"
to seek silence and solitude, as our Desert Fathers did in the
Early Church. It is here that we come to recognize more clearly and
truly who God is, who we are, who others are, what the world is,
and the reality of grace versus evil. We try to clarify God's view
of us - creatures with such a special destiny. We come to more
perfectly view ourselves as persons made in the image of God.
Through this discovery, we come to appreciate the extent to which
the likeness has been lost, but can be recovered in Jesus Christ.
We are ultimately called to respond in action to what has been
gained through our practice of Lectio Divina.
