Winner of the Bronislaw Malinowski Award in the Social Sciences Why do pogroms occur in some localities and not in others? Jeffrey S. Kopstein and Jason Wittenberg examine a particularly brutal wave of violence that occurred across hundreds of predominantly Polish and Ukrainian communities in the aftermath of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. The authors note that while some communities erupted in anti-Jewish violence, most others remained quiescent. In fact, fewer than 10 percent of communities saw pogroms in 1941, and most ordinary gentiles never attacked Jews. Intimate Violence is a novel social-scientific explanation of ethnic violence and the Holocaust. It locates the roots of violence in efforts to maintain Polish and Ukrainian dominance rather than in anti-Semitic hatred or revenge for communism. In doing so, it cuts through painful debates about relative victimhood that are driven more by metaphysical beliefs in Jewish culpability than empirical evidence of perpetrators and victims. Pogroms, they conclude, were difficult to start, and local conditions in most places prevented their outbreak despite a general anti-Semitism and the collapse of the central state. Kopstein and Wittenberg shed new light on the sources of mass ethnic violence and the ways in which such gruesome acts might be avoided.

This book addresses manifestations and consequences of the concept of the Self from Nativism. Taking an historical perspective, an attempt is made to offer a dynamic systems perspective, and to describe an alternative utilising examples from: Social Darwinism, genetics, fetal development, brain plasticity, and the education system, to the international human rights movement. Doing this the authors call into question the goal of respecting all values and behaviours in a given society. Arguing against moral relativism the authors propose the necessity for foundational values - that arguably already govern Community Psychology.
Two best friends with different backgrounds are introduced to the history of segregation in American schools. They are surprised as they learn about the long and bumpy journey toward true integration and equality. In this book, students in a futuristic classroom learn about topics like interpersonal racism, and how the stories of children like Ruby Bridges affected students of every age and grade level. Breaking Down Walls is set in the future, during a time of true equality. In this future, a teacher takes his students back in time--to our past and present--to learn about times of prejudice and change. This graphic novel contains discussion topics, thought-provoking questions, and actions students can take to be allies in the continuing fight for equality.
The ultimate “night before the case” resource from the foremost global rhinoplasty experts The art and science of rhinoplasty continues to evolve and improve, with many innovative techniques and effective structuring methods incorporated into advanced surgical practice since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2012. Rhinoplasty: Cases and Techniques, Second Edition, edited by world-renowned facial plastic surgeons Michael S. Godin and Jason S. Hamilton, expands on its acclaimed and top-selling predecessor. Rhinoplasty, the most demanding and challenging of all aesthetic surgical procedures, is made more easily accessible in this practical, how-to book from a who's who of rhinoplasty experts. This book begins with six didactic chapters covering consultation and evaluation, basic and advanced techniques, and potential complications, followed by nearly 100 case studies. Encompassing a spectacular variety of rhinoplasty deformities, the considerable depth and breadth of cases represent patients of virtually every racial and ethnic background. The second edition features new and updated procedures, including preservation rhinoplasty techniques, articulated rim grafts, expanded use of diced cartilage, and autologous rib grafts. Key Highlights Contributions from an exceptionally large group of internationally respected rhinoplasty expertsNinety-five case studies cross-catalogued by the exact type of major and minor nasal deformities enable the reader to quickly identify and learn the optimal surgical approach for each specific surgical caseSuperb pre- and postoperative photographs and drawings enhance understanding of clinical challenges and techniquesThis revised and expanded case-based book is an essential tool to help surgeons of all experience levels plan and execute beautiful rhinoplasties and achieve their best patient outcomes in this highly demanding surgical procedure.
In this study, Brian A. Verrett argues that 1-2 Samuel contains a serpent motif by practicing biblical theology and literary criticism. This motif derives from the serpent in Genesis 3, and its function within the Samuel narrative is to heighten the reader's anticipation in the coming messiah, who is the son of David and the seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15. This messiah will defeat the serpent and inaugurate his glorious reign over a renewed world. When 1-2 Samuel is read in this way, one appreciates previously unnoticed features of the text, understands aspects of the text that were formerly confusing, and rightly sees that the whole of 1-2 Samuel is a messianic document.

Captain Vincente Huerta and the crew of the Fancy have been hired to retrieve a valuable item from a downed research vessel at the edge of the enemy's space. It was going to be an easy payday. But what Captain Huerta and the men, women and alien under his command didn't know was that they were being sent to the most dangerous planet in the galaxy. Something large, ancient and most assuredly evil resides on the planet of Gorgon IV. Something so terrifying that man could barely fathom it with his puny mind. Captain Huerta must use every trick in the book, and possibly write an entirely new one, if he wants to escape Murder World.

Multivariate public key cryptosystems (MPKC) is a fast-developing new area in cryptography. In the past 10 years, MPKC schemes have increasingly been seen as a possible alternative to number theoretic-based cryptosystems such as RSA, as they are generally more efficient in terms of computational effort. As quantum computers are developed, MPKC will become a necessary alternative. Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems systematically presents the subject matter for a broad audience. Information security experts in industry can use the book as a guide for understanding what is needed to implement these cryptosystems for practical applications, and researchers in both computer science and mathematics will find this book a good starting point for exploring this new field. It is also suitable as a textbook for advanced-level students. Written more from a computational perspective, the authors provide the necessary mathematical theory behind MPKC; students with some previous exposure to abstract algebra will be well-prepared to read and understand the material.

Systems programming provides the foundation for the world's computation. Writing performance-sensitive code requires a programming language that puts programmers in control of how memory, processor time, and other system resources are used. The Rust systems programming language combines that control with a modern type system that catches broad classes of common mistakes, from memory management errors to data races between threads. With this practical guide, experienced systems programmers will learn how to successfully bridge the gap between performance and safety using Rust. Jim Blandy, Jason Orendorff, and Leonora Tindall demonstrate how Rust's features put programmers in control over memory consumption and processor use by combining predictable performance with memory safety and trustworthy concurrency. You'll learn: Rust's fundamental data types and the core concepts of ownership and borrowing How to write flexible, efficient code with traits and generics How to write fast, multithreaded code without data races Rust's key power tools: closures, iterators, and asynchronous programming Collections, strings and text, input and output, macros, unsafe code, and foreign function interfaces This revised, updated edition covers the Rust 2021 Edition.
