Book Description
Israel-Palestine in a Nutshell is, in fact, two books in one. One side explains the genesis of Israel in a nutshell begining with a study of Israel's ancient biblical history, following the Jews through decades of anti-Semitism until their return to their homeland in the 19th century. Israel in a Nutshell goes on to describe the new state of Israel's struggle to maintain and expand its territory and protect its citizens from belligerent Palestinians living within Israel's borders. It concludes by navigating readers through the series of peace treaties beginning in Camp David and ending with the latest 2003 Geneva proposal.

Book Description
With this book, award-winning author Shimon Apisdorf turns his sights and insights to the Jewish homeland. For over three millenia, Israel has been a focal point for the Jews everywhere, and for the past century it has been on the center stage of world history. This book clearly explains why -- why Israel is so central to Judaism, how the modern State of Israel arose, and why Israel has fought so many wars with its neighbors and found peace to be so elusive.

Book Description
Personal and Passionate Reflections on the Land and Its People "The Mediterranean landscape, the exuberance of the Israelis, the way politics is a matter of life and death there-all these things beguiled me." -Erica Jong, author "What does Israel mean to me? Courage. The Israelis have more courage in their pinky finger than I have in my whole life." -Tovah Feldshuh, actress "It is an unparalleled story of tenacity and determination, of courage and renewal. And it is ultimately a metaphor for the triumph and enduring hope over the temptation of despair." -David Harris, Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee "I have no desire to be like everyone else. Something in me wants the entry of the Jewish people into world politics to be judged by the highest conceivable measure. Indeed, that may be what is both so inspiring and confounding about the existence of Israel." -Rabbi Lawrence Kushner? "Israel isn't a symbol. Israel is the practical manifestation of hope, freedom, and self-determination." -Larry King, television host

Book Description
What the world can learn from Israel's meteoric economic success. Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel -- a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources-- produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality-- all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the "Israel effect", there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues.
