Pomegranate Seeds is the first collection of the oral tradition of Latin American Jews to be presented in English. These thirty-four tales span the 500 years of Jewish presence in Latin America and the Caribbean. The folktales and cultural oral narratives were often based on actual events, recorded not only from the Ashkenazi perspective but from the Sephardic and Oriental as well. Like dispersed pomegranate seeds, all the stories come from a common cluster, yet each is a separate kernel. The stories are short, between five and fifteen pages, and each is carefully annotated. In addition to

The subject matter has been presented in a simple and lucid form. Project scheduling techniques have been explained with the aid of graded examples to bring home the concepts clearly. Case studies taken from real life situations add value to the book as this will help understand the practicalities involved in the discipline of Project Management. No previous knowledge of the readers in any other related subject has been assumed and the concepts have been explained from the scratch. Though the book is exclusively addressed to the students of the U.P. Technical University, it will be equally use

A practical "how to" guide that effectively deals with the control of both contamination and ESD This book offers effective strategies and techniques for contamination and electrostatic discharge (ESD) control that can be implemented in a wide range of high-technology industries, including semiconductor, disk drive, aerospace, pharmaceutical, medical device, automobile, and food production manufacturing. The authors set forth a new and innovative methodology that can manage both contamination and ESD, often considered to be mutually exclusive challenges requiring distinct strategies.

In part 1 we construct a diffeomorphism invariant (Colombeau-type) differential algebra canonically containing the space of distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. Employing differential calculus in infinite dimensional (convenient) vector spaces, previous attempts in this direction are unified and completed. Several classification results are achieved and applications to nonlinear differential equations involving singularities are given. Part 2 gives a comprehensive analysis of algebras of Colombeau-type generalized functions in the range between the diffeomorphism-invariant quotient algeb

In this work Manfred Grosser and Richard Schonborn describe an ideal development from a childhood to a world-class player in tennis. On the basis of research and studies in biological development, training science and learning process psychology as well as great national and international experiences and observations arises this volume of advice for coaches, officials, parents and young players. The logical description of the improvement of general and tennis-specific performance largely dependent on age and development should be helpful to improve individual talent and inborn abilities of chi

Speed is, along with technique and co-ordination, one of the most important performance-limiting factors in tennis. This study offers suggestions for tennis-specific speed training for a wide range of tennis coaches and active players.

Asians and Latinos comprise the vast majority of contemporary immigrants to the United States, and their growing presence has complicated America’s prevailing White-Black race hierarchy. Imperial Citizens uses a global framework to investigate how Asians from U.S.-dominated homelands learn and understand their place along U.S. color lines. With interviews and ethnographic observations of Koreans, the book does what others rarely do: venture to the immigrants’ home country and analyze racism there in relation to racial hierarchies in the United States.Attentive to history, the book
