Since its discovery by a teenager in 1859, thousands of specimens
of lustrous black tourmaline crystals from Pierrepont, New York,
have found their way into both museum and private mineral
collections worldwide. Pierrepont is a classic American mineral
locality and a popular site for field collecting, and the discovery
of new collecting sites there in the past decade has only enhanced
its importance. Yet no detailed scientific research has been
published until now. The six authors represent a team with
comprehensive skills to tackle this study, which covers the
locality's history, geology, and mineralogy. The origin of the
mineralization, the true nature of the black tourmaline, and the
extensive suite of accessory minerals are presented in detail. The
authors also resolve identification questions about the tourmaline
and its many accessory minerals.
You'll find everything you need to know about being Jewish in this
indispensable, revised and updated guide to the religious
traditions, everyday practices, philosophical beliefs, and
historical foundations of Judaism. What happens at a synagogue
service? What are the rules for keeping kosher? How do I light the
Hanukah candles? What is in the Hebrew Bible? What do the Jewish
holidays signify? What should I be teaching my children about being
Jewish? With the first edition of Essential Judaism, George
Robinson offered the world the accessible compendium that he sought
when he rediscovered his Jewish identity as an adult. In his
"ambitious and all-inclusive" (New York Times Book Review) guide,
Robinson illuminates the Jewish life cycle at every stage and lays
out many fascinating aspects of the religion-the Kabbalah and
Jewish mysticism, the evolution of Hasidism, and much more-while
keeping a firm focus on the different paths to living a good Jewish
life in today's world. Now, a decade and a half later, Robinson has
updated this valuable introductory text with information on topics
including denominational shifts, same-sex marriage, the
intermarriage debate, transgender Jews, the growth of
anti-Semitism, and the changing role of women in worship, along
with many other hotly debated topics in the contemporary Jewish
world and beyond. The perfect gift for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or anyone
thinking about conversion-this is the ultimate companion for anyone
interested in learning more about Judaism, the kind of book its
readers will revisit over and over for years to come.
