The Others Within Us - Dan Bar On - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Others Within Us - Dan Bar On - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Dan Bar-On''s psychosocial approach sees identity as dynamic, constructed in contra-distinction to various ''Others''. Drawing parallels to other societies, he looks most closely at identity formation among Israelis, or more precisely, among the largely secular Jews from European lands who formed the hegemonic backbone of Israeli society. Case studies and analysis depict various stages in identity formation, as do ''personal windows'' onto the author as he experienced these stages. Others such as Diaspora Jews, Jews from Muslim countries, and Arabs represent repressed aspects of the collective self. Monolithic identity disintegrates over time, in ways that are often confusing and painful. The perception of threat often creates a ''neo-monolithic backlash''. Yet the book holds out the possibility of a constructive dialogue, internal and among groups in society, that will give rise to a better-integrated and more inclusive identity construction.

Jewish-Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity - Michal (ben Gurion University Of The Negev Bar Asher Siegal - Bog - Cambridge University

Jewish-Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity - Michal (ben Gurion University Of The Negev Bar Asher Siegal - Bog - Cambridge University

Stories portraying heretics (''minim'') in rabbinic literature are a central site of rabbinic engagement with the ''other''. These stories typically involve a conflict over the interpretation of a biblical verse in which the rabbinic figure emerges victorious in the face of a challenge presented by the heretic. In this book, Michal Bar-Asher Siegal focuses on heretic narratives of the Babylonian Talmud that share a common literary structure, strong polemical language and the formula, ''Fool, look to the end of the verse''. She marshals previously untapped Christian materials to arrive at new interpretations of familiar texts and illuminate the complex relationship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity. Bar-Asher Siegal argues that these Talmudic literary creations must be seen as part of a boundary-creating discourse that clearly distinguishes the rabbinic position from that of contemporaneous Christians and adds to a growing understanding of the rabbinic authors'' familiarity with Christian traditions.

Elementary Differential Geometry - Christian Bar - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Elementary Differential Geometry - Christian Bar - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The link between the physical world and its visualization is geometry. This easy-to-read, generously illustrated textbook presents an elementary introduction to differential geometry with emphasis on geometric results. Avoiding formalism as much as possible, the author harnesses basic mathematical skills in analysis and linear algebra to solve interesting geometric problems, which prepare students for more advanced study in mathematics and other scientific fields such as physics and computer science. The wide range of topics includes curve theory, a detailed study of surfaces, curvature, variation of area and minimal surfaces, geodesics, spherical and hyperbolic geometry, the divergence theorem, triangulations, and the Gauss–Bonnet theorem. The section on cartography demonstrates the concrete importance of elementary differential geometry in applications. Clearly developed arguments and proofs, colour illustrations, and over 100 exercises and solutions make this book ideal for courses and self-study. The only prerequisites are one year of undergraduate calculus and linear algebra.
