Two novels from the mean streets of 1940's New York City. Sweet Money Girl was originally published by Gold Medal Books in 1954 and tells the story of three lives that collide one December in New York City-Hortense, the dance instructor who knows how to look out for number one; Maxie, the mamma's boy who just wants his shot at happiness; and Hugh, who wrecks it for all of them. Life and Death of a Tough Guy was originally published in 1955 by Avon Books. Joey Kasow is a skinny Jewish kid growing up in the 1920's in Hell's Kitchen. Tormented by the Irish thugs in the neighborhood, he eventually gains their begrudging respect and is allowed to join their gang, the Badgers. Joey grows up tough. He knows he's got to take whatever is dished out to him to stay in the gang. He learns how to inflict pain--he learns how to kill. And gradually he works his way up the ladder to become the Spotter's enforcer. He is now Joey Case. But Joey can't escape his past, falling in love with innocent young Sadie Madofsky, his refuge from the brutal world around him. All Joey wants is to get ahead--but the Spotter has other plans for him.
"I can't think of many novels that . . . manage to be intelligent and sympathetic to not one but two oft-misunderstood American religions . . . Quite a feat." —Mark Oppenheimer, The New York TimesThe Book of Norman probes Mormon-Jewish relationships and traditions with humor and thoughtfulness. A sibling rivalry erupts between brothers Norman and Jon Gould, who compete for their dead father's soul in this wild theological ride set in southern California during the Summer of Love. Norman, a recent drop-out from the New York Jewish Seminary, wants to catch up on his generation's sex, love, and rock 'n' roll. Yet when his doper brother Jon gets a buzz cut, sells his stash, and becomes a Mormon-in- training, the battle is engaged. As the religious tug-of- war ensues, Norman tries to pull his brother back to Judaism while Jon tries to prove to Norman that Mormonism is the truer path. The struggle culminates in a monumental and hilarious game of basketball pitting Norman and two gorgeous Jewish angels, Tali and Aviva, against a Mormon team headed by Wes, the Elder, and his compatriots.Allan Appel, novelist and playwright, is the author of The Hebrew Tutor of Bel Air; High Holiday Sutra, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection; and The Rabbi of Casino Boulevard, a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. Raised in California and a longtime New Yorker, he lives in Connecticut, where he is a writer for the New Haven Independent.
Up-and-coming Amsterdam lawyer David Driessen thinks he's hit the jackpot when a wealthy client showers him with praise, glamour, and plenty of money. But David learns far too late that every gift from the shady realtor comes with a catch-and a price tag. As his gambling addiction, his constant need for cash, and his wife's infidelities combine to drag him deeper and deeper into his client's twisted world of money and despair, David struggles to stay ahead of it all... before his time runs out.In The Amsterdam Lawyer, Ren Appel-two-time winner of the Golden Noose, The Netherlands' equivalent of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allan Poe Award-once again demonstrates the skill that led leading Dutch daily newspaper Algemeen Dagblad to proclaim him "the godfather of the Dutch psychological thriller.""A fascinating novel, bubbling over with greed, mistrust, and ruthlessness." Gijs Korevaar, Algemeen Dagblad"Ren Appel is a first-rate Dutch crime writer. The Amsterdam Lawyer is a compelling and twisted legal thriller, the first of what will hopefully be many of his books to appear in English." Steve Steinbock, reviewer for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
A beautiful Tarot deck and booklet revealing the lost and forgotten Jewish origins of the Tarot—featuring a foreword by poet Ariana Reines.For hundreds of years, the original meaning of the Tarot de Marseille, the artistic ancestor of the contemporary Tarot, has been a source of mystery, speculation, and debate. When Torah student Stav Appel encountered the Jean Noblet Tarot—one of the oldest preserved decks in the tradition of the Tarot de Marseille—he found something curious: the Magician held his arms in the shape of the Hebrew letter aleph ?, the Hermit wore a Jewish prayer shawl, and three pieces of matzah hid beneath the Moon. In The Torah in the Tarot, Appel carefully analyzes the Noblet Tarot, uncovering a rich array of Jewish symbols ingeniously concealed in its images. Given the deck’s origin circa 1650, during the Catholic Church’s centuries-long campaign to eradicate Judaism, Appel argues persuasively that its secret content suggests it originally served as a tool for clandestine Jewish education. Writing in a rich style that draws on rabbinic literary forms, Appel has presented a landmark contribution to the field of Tarot studies—revealing that when we perceive the Tarot through a Jewish lens, we can, at long last, recognize the Torah hidden in the Tarot.The Torah in the Tarot includes a booklet written by Stav Appel with a foreword by Ariana Reines, as well as a historically accurate, 78-card color reproduction of the Jean Noblet Tarot—the only modern copy that preserves the full scope of the deck’s original Judaica—created by the French artist Florent Giraud of Tarotgraphe.
Rest Upon The Flood serves as beacons, each one weaving a narrative, a rhythm, or the mere silhouette of a tale that mirrors the odyssey we all navigate. Appel's poems delve into the pivotal instances of our existence, uncovering the genuine experiences that shape real lives. Within these traversed routes, and etched into the very fabric of each verse, lies an enduring elegance-a bastion of solace to anchor your spirit and banish desolation.
This book examines dramatist Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed and the broader framework within which it operates. The focus lies on the semiotic aspects of theatre, where numerous elements tend to adhere to certain codes and conventions. When viewing theatre as a language, these conventions can be subverted to convey particular statements. Boal's work draws from the Marxist drama of Bertolt Brecht (including the crucial concept of 'dialectics'), as well as Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed.Boal conceives of oppression as the absence of dialogue, and his aesthetic language was developed in the context of a military coup in his native Brazil. At that time, one challenge was to provide people with a system of symbols through which to bridge written and spoken languages. Boal also formulated the concept of the 'spect-actor'. Some have claimed that the method has since become dogmatic, but Boal is certainly not an icon of oppression.Many theatre companies specialise in addressing specific societal issues that can lead to isolation and social apartheid, supported by policies and funding bodies that seek greater social cohesion. Augusto Boal's theatre offers a universal language that challenges the discourses of domination and provides a democratic arena in which to question and transform the status quo. This is the essence of the Theatre of the Oppressed: Rehearse it. Play it. See it. Change it. Augusto Boal's theatre encourages a social revolution that begins onstage.

This book provides recommendations for thermal and structural modelling of spacecraft structures for predicting thermoelastic responses. It touches upon the related aspects of the finite element and thermal lumped parameter method. A mix of theoretical and practical examples supports the modelling guidelines. Starting from the system needs of instruments of spacecraft, the reader is supported with the development of the practical requirements for the joint development of the thermal and structural models. It provides points of attention and suggestions to check the quality of the models.The temperature mapping problem, typical for spacecraft thermoelastic analysis, is addressed. The principles of various temperature mapping methods are presented. The prescribed average temperature method, co-developed by the authors, is discussed in detail together with its spin-off to provide high quality conductors for thermal models. The book concludes with the discussion of the application of uncertainty assessment methods. The thermoelastic analysis chain is computationally expensive. Therefore, the 2k+1 point estimate method of Rosenblueth is presented as an alternative for the Monte Carlo Simuation method, bringing stochastic uncertainty analysis in reach for large thermoelastic problems.

Während zukunftsfähiges politisches Handeln das Konzept der nachhaltigen Entwicklung als Leitlinie für das 21. Jahrhundert entdeckt hat, besteht in der Rechtswissenschaft ein beträchtliches Maß an Skepsis. Die große inhaltliche Weite, der betont internationale Ansatz und die intergenerationelle Ausrichtung begründen den hohen Anspruch des Konzepts, stehen aber zugleich für die spezifischen Schwierigkeiten einer Verwirklichung mit Mitteln des Rechts.Ivo Appel greift die unübersichtlich gewordene Diskussion auf und stellt sie in den größeren Zusammenhang der staatlichen Verantwortung für Zukunft und Entwicklung. Konkrete Ausformungen des Nachhaltigkeitskonzepts werden am Beispiel des Umwelt- und Planungsrechts untersucht. Dabei erweist sich das Konzept als Exempel und Anwendungsfall für grundsätzlichere Entwicklungen im öffentlichen Recht, die sich aus einer neu gewichteten Staatsaufgabe Zukunfts- und Entwicklungsvorsorge ergeben.Die Anforderungen des Konzepts stellen die Prozesse der Rechtsentstehung und Rechtskonkretisierung in den weiteren Kontext eines europäischen und internationalen Mehr-Ebenen-Systems, wobei der Kategorie des 'rechtssetzungsorientierten Rechts' und der (Wieder)Entdeckung der Ziele als einer Handlungsform Scharnierfunktionen zukommen. Vor diesem Hintergrund versteht sich der Band auch als Plädoyer, dem Nachhaltigkeitskonzept konstruktiv zu begegnen und die rechtlichen Möglichkeiten, die in der Aufstellung von Leitbildern und Zielen liegen können, systemprägend zu nutzen.
