Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Shows that the myth that mental illness is strongly linked to
violence makes us all less safe Mass shootings have become a
defining issue of our time. Whenever the latest act of newsworthy
violence occurs, mental illness is inevitably cited as a preeminent
cause by members of the news media and political sphere alike.
Violence and Mental Illness: Rethinking Risk Factors and Enhancing
Public Safety exposes how mental illness is vastly overemphasized
in popular discussion of mass violence, which in turn makes us all
less safe. The recurring and intense focus on mental illness in the
wake of violent tragedy is fueled by social stigma and cognitive
bias, strengthening an exaggerated link between violence and mental
illness. Yet as Eric B. Elbogen and Nico Verykoukis clearly and
compellingly demonstrate in this book, a wide array of empirical
data show that this link is much weaker than commonly
believed—numerous other risk factors have been proven to be
stronger predictors of violence. In particular, the authors argue
that overweighting mental illness means underweighting more robust
risk factors, which are external (e.g., poverty, financial strain,
inadequate social support), internal (e.g., younger age, anger,
substance abuse), or violence-defining (e.g., lacking empathy, gun
access, hate group membership). These risk factors need to be taken
into consideration when crafting policies that concern public
safety, with emphasis on strategies for reducing the viability and
acceptability of violence as a choice.

The Jewish prayer book, the sidur, is the longest continuous record
of the history, philosophy, literature and ethics of the Jewish
people. It has been read and reread in every generation, in every
Jewish community.Elobgen's analysis covers the entire range of
Jewish liturgical development - beginning with the early
cornerstones of the siddur, such as the Amidah, the Shema through
the evolution of the meieval piyyut tradition, to modern prayerbook
reform in Germany and the United States. This book traces the
origins of present-day prayers, noting the many variants that arise
within historical periods and different geographic communities. The
work includes generous citations from primary sources such as
rabbinic texts, comparative historical documents, medieval
commentators, and modern scholarship. Included are full
bibliographies and several useful indexes, among them an index of
prayers in Hebrew and English.
