Mit dem vorliegenden Bande ist dem Handbuche eine letzte wichtige Erganzung geschaffen. Die vor beinahe 30 Jahren erschienene erste Auf lage enthielt einen Abschnitt iiber die Hautkrankheiten des Kindesalters aus der Feder zweier namhafter Sachkenner. Bei der Vorbereitung der zweiten Auflage aber, die 4 Jahre spater herauskam, ergab sich, daB der dermatologische Abschnitt aus den yom Verlage nach Umfang begrenzten vier Hauptbanden entfernt werden muBte, weil fast aIle Mitarbeiter fUr ihre Beitrage wesentlich mehr Raum beanspruchten als vorher. Es bestand seitl er stets das Streben der Herausgeber einen gesonderten "Haut-Band" zu bieten, und zwar sollte nach dem Arbeitsteilungsplan die besondere Redaktion dieses Bandes SCHLOSSMANN zufallen. Der Weltkrieg, spaterhin eine FiiIle anderer vordringlicher organisatorischer Arbeiten, das Hin scheiden LEINERS der als Hauptbearbeiter in Aussicht genommen war, endlich eigene Erkrankung des Genannten behinderten und verzogerten die ErfiiIlung des Planes. Nach dem Tode meines hochverehrten Freundes und Mitherausgebers, des geistigen Urhebers des ganzen Handbuches, im Jahre 1932 wurden die Vorarbeiten unverziiglich wieder aufgenommen und unter auBergewohnlichen Schwierigkeiten fortgesetzt. Da es Hautkrankheiten im Kindesalter gibt, die vorwiegend dem Kinderarzte, andere, die mehr dem Hautarzte zugefUhrt werden, demgemaB auch das Schrifttum teils mehr padiatrischen, teils mehr dermatologischen Stempel tragt, schien es zweckmaBig fiir einen Teil der zu behandelnden Gegenstande an Kindern erfahrene Dermatologen, fiir einen anderen Teil an Hautkrankheiten interessierte Padiater als Bearbeiter zu gewinnen. So ist der vorliegende Band unter Zusammenarbeit von Vertretern beider Facher entstanden."

"Finding Gordon Lipschitz" is the story of one man's desperate search for his long-lost friend and high school valedictorian. At his twenty-five year high school reunion, Harris Greenberg realizes that his once promising life has turned into a depressing failure. When he discovers that Gordon Lipschitz hasn't been seen since graduation, Harris embarks on a desperate mission to find him. Enlisting the help of old friends, Gordon is found in the most unlikely place, a shell of his former self. The search becomes a journey of self-discovery for four friends whose lives turned out much differently than any of them expected. Critics Reviews "Finding Gordon Lipschitz is a wild, white-knuckle tale that crashes Long Island Jewish dysfunction into post-Katrina New Orleans chaos. Finkelstein's suddenly middle-aged protagonist must pay the tolls of his reckless youth, but even as he tackles divorce, depression, drug addiction, mental illness and unemployment, the story maintains a lively bounce and an easy wit." -David Peisner, SPIN Hilarious, raunchy, honest and entertaining, Finkelstein's novel will take you down, out, and everywhere in between with Harris Greenberg as he searches for his childhood friend and valedictorian Gordon Lipschitz. -Lauren Adam, Where Y'at Magazine "Finding Gordon Lipschitz is a gritty coming-of-age novel for adults. Harris Greenberg's search for his long-lost high school friend is funny, tense, and poignant. The story is an absolute winner." -James Thayer, author of "White Star" "Finding Gordon Lipschitz is a weird, wild and witty journey." -Bret Love, INsite Magazine

"Theodor Herzl, Architect of a Nation," is the compelling account of a complex individual who sacrificed his health and family in pursuit of an ideal: the establishment of a homeland where Jews throughout the world could go to escape anti-Semitism. "If you will it, it is no dream," he said.

This book sheds valuable light on a man whose short, eventful life helped create and shape the modern State of Israel. Norman H. Finkelstein focuses on the ideas that Herzl gave to the Zionist movement and on the grand diplomacy and political maneuvering to which he devoted his life.

Thanks to these generous donors for making the publication of this book possible: JPS Board of Trustees .This JPS Guide chronicles the extraordinary history of American Jewry. Finkelstein tells the dramatic 350-year story of the people and events that shaped the lives of today's American Jews. Divided into six time periods, American Jewish History describes Jewish life from the time of the early settlers, to the period of massive immigration that flooded the cities, to the incredible growth of Jews in positions of influence in business, politics, and the arts. This is a story of a people who affected not only the lives of Jews in the U.S. today, but also the course of American history itself. There are over 70 black and white photographs, maps, and charts and more than 120 feature boxes and biographies throughout, as well as timelines, notes, a bibliography, and index. Finkelstein has made the saga of American Jewry much more than a compilation of historical facts. This is wonderfully stimulating journey-a worthwhile adventure for readers of all ages.

A history in words and photographs of the growth of the Jewish community in the United States and its contributions to American culture, politics, and economics in the twentieth century.

Covers the life and career of the U.S. Army five-star general from his early life in various military outposts to a career in two World Wars.

The struggle for equal rights in America forged a close connection between African Americans and Jews. But in recent years that once amicable relationship has become strained. In Heeding the Call: Jewish Voices in America's Civil Rights Struggle (winner of the National Jewish Book Awards), young people will discover how much the shared history of both groups unites rather than divides them. At the height of the civil rights battles of the 1960s, Jewish students, rabbis, and community leaders headed south as "Freedom Riders," while Jewish religious and communal organizations like the American Hebrew Congregations actively worked on behalf of the civil rights movement. Heeding the Call chronicles the multifaceted role of Jewish Americans in the difficult struggle for civil rights. Their story will inspire the next generation of young Jews and African Americans to renew the legacy of cooperation that once united both groups.

At least since Descartes, philosophers have been interested in the special knowledge or authority that we exhibit when we speak about our own thoughts, attitudes, and feelings. "Expression and the Inner" contends that even the best work in contemporary philosophy of mind fails to account for this sort of knowledge or authority because it does not pay the right sort of attention to the notion of expression. Following what he takes to be a widely misunderstood suggestion of Wittgenstein's, Finkelstein argues that we can make sense of self-knowledge and first-person authority only by coming to see the ways in which a self-ascription of, say, happiness (a person's saying or thinking, "I'm happy this morning") may be akin to a smile--akin, that is, to an expression of happiness. In so doing, Finkelstein contrasts his own reading of Wittgenstein's philosophy of mind with influential readings set out by John McDowell and Crispin Wright. By the final chapter of this lucid work, what's at stake is not only how to understand self-knowledge and first-person authority, but also what it is that distinguishes conscious from unconscious psychological states, what the mental life of a nonlinguistic animal has in common with our sort of mental life, and how to think about Wittgenstein's legacy to the philosophy of mind.
