Water Resilience in Practice is co-edited by two experienced water
sector professionals and reviews resilience in water supply service
delivery. This will be in the form of a series of case studies from
different economic contexts - ranging from low-income and fragile
states to upper income countries. It will document real experiences
and reflect on the initiatives different service providers apply to
strengthen resilience in practice. It will describe how service
providers respond, adapt, innovate and learn on an ongoing basis,
and how they endeavour to meet challenges and provide water supply
to users equitably and sustainably. In recent years climate
resilience in water supply has been a new emerging paradigm. In
response it is helpful to document and record some up-to-date
experiences, which can be consolidated in one place. However, it is
also necessary to recognise the multiple pressures that water
resources face, such as: population growth, increased water
demands, existing climatic variability as well as climate change.
These pressures are having a profound impact on water supply
service delivery. In this context service providers and development
professionals must take active measures to respond to these risks.
This book is primarily addressed to organisations and practitioners
involved in planning, designing, managing and financing water
supply programmes in urban and rural settings.

This anthology features a diverse and compelling array of writings
from prominent Jewish authors in Germany today. The writers
included here-Katja Behrens, Maxim Biller, Esther Dischereit, and
Barbara Honigmann-did not experience the Holocaust firsthand,
though their works continually explore the meaning of it as it is
remembered and forgotten in contemporary Germany. From different
perspectives these authors offer incisive reflections on
German-Jewish relations today. They wrestle in particular with the
strangeness of living in a country where unencumbered relationships
between Germans and Jews are rare. Also surfacing in their writings
are the many foundations and challenges to modern Jewish identity
in Germany, including the vicissitudes of gender roles, and the
experience of emigration, intergenerational conflict, and
sexuality.
"Contemporary Jewish Writing in Germany" not only features a set of
engaging stories but also encourages a deeper understanding of the
experiences of Jews in Germany today.
The Translated Jew brings together an eclectic set of literary and
visual texts to reimagine the transnational potential for
German-Jewish culture in the twenty-first century. Departing from
scholarship that has located the German-Jewish text as an object
that can be defined geographically and historically, The Translated
Jew challenges national literary historiography and redraws the
maps by which transnational Jewish culture and identity must be
read. This book explores the myriad acts of translation, actual and
metaphorical, through which Jewishness leaves its traces, taking as
a given the always provisional nature of Jewish text and Jewish
language. Although the focus is on contemporary German-Jewish
literary cultures, The Translated Jew also turns its attention to a
number of key visual and architectural projects by American,
British, and French artists and writers, including W. G. Sebald,
Anne Blonstein, Helene Cixous, Ulrike Mohr, Daniel Blaufuks, Paul
Celan, Raymond Federman, and Rose Auslander. In thus realigning
German-Jewish culture with European and American Jewish culture and
post-Holocaust aesthetics, this book explores the circulation of
Jewishness between the U.S. and Europe. The insistence on the
polylingualism of any single language and the multidirectionality
of Jewishness are at the very center of The Translated Jew.
As German Jews emigrated in the 19th and early 20th centuries andas
exiles from Nazi Germany, they carried the traditions, culture,and
particular prejudices of their home with them. At the same
time,Germany—and Berlin in particular—attracted both secular
and religiousJewish scholars from eastern Europe. They engaged in
vital intellectualexchange with German Jewry, although their
cultural and religiouspractices differed greatly, and they absorbed
many cultural practicesthat they brought back to Warsaw or took
with them to New York and TelAviv. After the Holocaust, German Jews
and non-German Jews educatedin Germany were forced to reevaluate
their essential relationship withGermany and Germanness as well as
their notions of Jewish life outsideof Germany. Among the first
volumes to focus on German-Jewish transnationalism,this
interdisciplinary collection spans the fields of history,
literature, film,theater, architecture, philosophy, and theology as
it examines the livesof significant emigrants. The individuals
whose stories are reevaluatedinclude German Jews Ernst Lubitsch,
David Einhorn, and GershomScholem, the architect Fritz Nathan and
filmmaker Helmar Lerski; andeastern European Jews David Bergelson,
Der Nister, Jacob Katz, JosephSoloveitchik, and Abraham Joshua
Heschel—figures not normallyassociated with Germany. Three-Way
Street addresses the gap in thescholarly literature as it opens up
critical ways of approaching Jewishculture not only in Germany, but
also in other locations, from the mid-19thcentury to the present.
