Rachel the Clever and Other Jewish Folktales
Little Rock Arkansas U.S.A.: August House Pub Inc 1993. Book. Near-Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-nice clean copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. Stated First Edition. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Nicely illustrated. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 171 pages. - Although the 46 tales in this collection are as varied as the countries or regions from which they come Poland central Asia and Morocco for example nearly all of them have been carried and passed on by immigrants to America. As a result this collection is a world tour between two covers but not at the expense of the unifying element common to these stories: their uniquely Jewish flavor an emphasis on doing the right thing on surviving by cleverness and kindness and on the need for keeping . From The Critics Library Journal Sherman author of A Sampler of Jewish-American Folklore August House 1992 has brought together a treasure of stories--46 tales from places as disparate as Poland central Asia and Morocco. All are one or two pages in length perfect for reading aloud and have been passed on by immigrants to their children. The stories are meant for children but their freshness and clarity will find them an adult audience as well. The Jewish emphasis on doing the right thing on surviving by cleverness and kindness and on maintaining a good sense of humor at all costs is seen throughout the collection. There are magical tales such as ``The Sorcerer's Apprentice'' and ``The Dancing Demons'' clever tales such as ``The Slave Who Was a Dectective'' and the title story where Rachel the Clever outwits the the king. Sherman's retelling is masterful making these delightful stories available to a new generation. Highly recommended.-- Molly Abromowitz Silver Spring Md. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.

Shermer Michael
Homo credens. Perché il cervello ci fa coltivare e diffondere idee improbabili
ill., br. Perché crediamo in quello che crediamo? Perché il nostro cervello ci spinge a farlo. È infatti una sorta di motore di credenze: raccoglie informazioni dai sensi e con naturalezza genera convinzioni che si incanalano in schemi predefiniti e che ci sembrano perfettamente plausibili. Così plausibili che siamo pronti a difenderle a oltranza. Anche quando non lo sono, e anche quando tutti - a partire dagli scienziati - le ritengono estremamente improbabili. Credere in idee improbabili è estremamente probabile! Nessuno può considerarsi immune da questo rischio, che pervade ogni ambito della vita umana: religione, politica, economia... Michael Shermer ci spiega come possano formarsi nella nostra mente tante false credenze. Ma ci indica anche la strada per identificarle, e cercare così di arrivare a comprendere la realtà con cognizione di causa.

Shive David
NAMING ACHILLES
Oxford University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1987. Hardcover. 0195048601 . Light shelfwear. Foxing to textblock. ; 0.75 x 8.56 x 5.63 Inches; 204 pages; F. A. Wolf set the "Homeric Question" nearly two centuries ago when he argued convincingly that "Homer" was a non-literate bard incapable of composing and performing the monumental Iliad and Odyssey as we have them. In the long debate that has followed one of the most prominent figures has been Milman Parry who argued that there was great economy and extension of formulaic diction in the Homeric poems that the poet was in effect highly constrained by this formulaic diction and by the strict metrical requirements of the oral tradition. He concluded that only a non-literate bard could have composed such epics under these constraints. In Naming Achilles David Shive takes issue with Parry's findings. Engaging in a close analysis of the hero Achilles as he is named in all the grammatical cases he has concluded that Parry's thesis does not hold that there is more extension and less economy than Milman Parry claimed to find. Homer's poetry can be seen as more creative less restricted and in fact does not differ markedly from subsequent literary work. . Oxford University Press hardcover
