When the coronavirus pandemic took hold early in 2020, charities
were among the first to respond to the resulting social and
economic distress. But recent scandals and a more critical climate
have overshadowed the vital role they play. What Have Charities
Ever Done for Us? rebalances the debate, using case studies and
interviews to illustrate how charities support people and
communities, foster heritage and culture and pioneer responses to
crucial social, ethical and environmental questions. It also sets
the historical context, examines cases that have attracted
criticisms, analyses the political response and considers how the
governance, transparency and independence of charities could be
improved. Charities at their best are the conscience of society and
benefit most people at some point in their lives. This book brings
to life the breadth and depth of their work and the contribution
they make to social progress.
Ever since he opened Zahav in 2008, chef Michael Solomonov has been
turning heads with his original interpretations of modern lsraeli
cuisine, attracting notice from the New York Times, Bon Appetit,
("an utter and total revelation"), and Eater ("Zahav defines
lsraeli cooking in America"). Zahav showcases the melting-pot
cooking of Israel, especially the influences of the Middle East,
North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe. Solomonov's
food includes little dishes called mezze, such as the restaurant's
insanely popular fried cauliflower; a hummus so ethereal that it
put Zahav on the culinary map; and a pink lentil soup with lamb
meatballs that one critic called "Jerusalem in a bowl." It also
includes a majestic dome of Persian wedding rice and a whole
roasted lamb shoulder with pomegranate and chickpeas that's a
celebration in itself. All Solomonov's dishes are brilliantly
adapted to local and seasonal ingredients. Zahav tells an
authoritative and personal story of how Solomonov embraced the food
of his birthplace. With its blend of technique and passion, this
book shows readers how to make his food their own.
This book treats bounded arithmetic and propositional proof
complexity from the point of view of computational complexity. The
first seven chapters include the necessary logical background for
the material and are suitable for a graduate course. Associated
with each of many complexity classes are both a two-sorted
predicate calculus theory, with induction restricted to concepts in
the class, and a propositional proof system. The complexity classes
range from AC0 for the weakest theory up to the polynomial
hierarchy. Each bounded theorem in a theory translates into a
family of (quantified) propositional tautologies with polynomial
size proofs in the corresponding proof system. The theory proves
the soundness of the associated proof system. The result is a
uniform treatment of many systems in the literature, including
Buss's theories for the polynomial hierarchy and many disparate
systems for complexity classes such as AC0, AC0(m), TC0, NC1, L,
NL, NC, and P.
This volume of the Building Bridges Seminar, Power: Divine and
Human, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, comprises pairs of essays
by Christians and Muslims which introduce texts for dialogical
study, plus the actual text-excerpts themselves. This new book goes
far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it
provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar
dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for
comparative theology, Power: Divine and Human is unique in that it
takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim
conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in
tone and structure, it is suitable for the non-specialist as well.
Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and
motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While
it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also
be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture,
interreligious relations, and political philosophy.

The Routledge International Handbook of New Digital Practices in
Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums and Heritage Sites presents
a fascinating picture of the ways in which today's cultural
institutions are undergoing a transformation through innovative
applications of digital technology. With a strong focus on digital
design practice, the volume captures the vital discourse between
curators, exhibition designers, historians, heritage practitioners,
technologists and interaction designers from around the world.
Contributors interrogate how their projects are extending the
traditional reach and engagement of institutions through digital
designs that reconfigure the interplay between collections, public
knowledge and civic society. Bringing together the experiences of
some of today's most innovative cultural institutions and thinkers,
the Handbook provides refreshingly new ideas and directions for the
exciting digital challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. As
such, it should be essential reading for academics, students,
designers and professionals interested in the production of culture
in the post-digital age.
Most people who know about tahini understand the sesame paste as
simply one of the building blocks of hummus. But for Amy Zitelman,
CEO and cofounder of woman-owned Soom Foods-the leading purveyor of
tahini and tahini products in the American market-the culinary
potential of tahini goes far beyond hummus. In The Tahini Table: Go
Beyond Hummus with 100 Recipes for Every Meal, tahini is introduced
to home cooks as a new pantry staple that can be used in recipes
from dips to desserts. Tahini, made from pressed roasted sesame
seeds, is a healthy, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and low-sugar
superfood rich in Omega fatty acids, protein, and calcium. Although
tahini's historical roots are in the Middle East, Zitelman aims to
stretch the culinary borders of tahini outside of traditional
Middle-Eastern fare. The Tahini Table contains 100 recipes that
showcase tahini's wide range of uses. This "cult condiment" is mild
enough to step in as an inspiring replacement for the eggs, cheese,
mayo, and cream called for in recipes that American home cooks are
making for their families every day. The Tahini Table provides
tahini hacks for reimagined American classics, including vegan
"queso," eggless mayonnaise, and gluten-free brownies. From Vegan
Mac and "Cheese" and Tahini Chicken Schnitzel, to Chocolate Halvah
French Toast and Tahini Flan, Zitelman writes with the home cook in
mind, incorporating tahini into everyday cooking in delicious and
unexpected ways. With beautiful color photos, contributions from
top restaurant chefs, and easy substitutions for a variety of
diets, The Tahini Table proves that tahini is the next must-have
pantry staple for home cooks everywhere.

stuff' tables, and other optional rules for old-school games.
Half a decade after Arabs across the Middle East poured into the
streets to demand change, hopes for democracy have disappeared in a
maelstrom of violence and renewed state repression. Egypt remains
an authoritarian state, Syria and Yemen are in the midst of
devastating civil wars, Libya has descended into anarchy, and the
self-declared Islamic State rules a large swath of territory. Even
Turkey, which also experienced large-scale protests, has abandoned
its earlier shift toward openness and democracy and now more
closely resembles an autocracy. How did things go so wrong so
quickly across a wide range of regimes? In False Dawn, noted Middle
East regional expert Steven A. Cook looks at the trajectory of
events across the region from the initial uprising in Tunisia to
the failed coup in Turkey to explain why the Arab Spring did not
succeed. Despite appearances, there were no true revolutions in the
Middle East five years ago: none of the affected societies
underwent social revolutions, and the old structures of power were
never eliminated. Even supposed successes like Tunisia still face
significant barriers to democracy because of the continued strength
of old regime players. Libya, the state that came closest to
revolution, has fragmented into chaos, and Turkey's president,
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has used the recent coup against him as
grounds for a widespread crackdown on his opponents, reinforcing
the Turkish leader's personal power. After taking stock of how and
why the uprisings failed to produce lasting change, Cook considers
the role of the United States in the region. What Washington cannot
do, Cook argues, is shape the politics of the Middle East going
forward. While many in the policymaking community believe that the
United States must "get the Middle East right," American influence
is actually quite limited; the future of the region lies in the
hands of the people who live there. Authoritative and powerfully
argued, False Dawn promises to be a major work on one of the most
important historical events of the past quarter century.
