2002Best.-Nr. 78460Madison WI/Takoma Park MD: The University of Wisconsin Press/Dryad Press 2002. A Bilingual Edition in Hebrew and English. First printing stated. Trade paperback. Very good. xiii 1 131 5 pages. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Ronny Someck Hebrew: ; born 1951 is an Israeli poet and author whose works have been translated into many languages. Someck has published 11 volumes of poetry and authored 2 children's book together with his daughter Shirly The Laughter Button and Monkey Tough Monkey Bluff that have been translated into 41 languages. Selections of his poems have appeared in Arabic translation French Catalan Albanian Italian Macedonian Croatian Yiddish Nepali Dutch Danish Spanish Portuguese and English. He is the recipient of the Prime Minister's Award Yehuda Amichai Award for Hebrew poetry The "Wine poem award" in Struga Poetry Evenings Macedonia 2005 and Hans Berghhuis prize for poetry 2006 at the Maastricht International Poetry Nights the Netherlands. He has recorded three discs with the musician Elliott Sharp: Revenge of the Stuttering Child Poverty Line and A Short History of Vodka. From a review by Eric Maroney posted on line: The Fire Stays Red Hebrew poet Ronny Someck's first collection of English translations and here in a bi-lingual edition is a powerful example of the range and nuance capable in modern Israeli Hebrew. Someck an Israeli of Iraqi descent sprinkles his poems with Arabic words and transliterates English words with Hebrew inflections and endings illustrating just how international and mature a language Hebrew has become; it can absorb the words of other cultures while maintaining its own staunch and vibrant Hebrew identity. Someck's poems are a wide ranging study on the Israeli predicament but also encompass other subjects like the erotic with a distinctly Israeli touch in `Niva' where `Once I saw her take off her blouse. Her tan bra was the color of a shack in a transit camp for immigrants' to the humorous `Poem of Longing' where `I long for Grandpa's acrobatics / as he leapt / from one sidewalk/ to another.' Someck's Hebrew is vernacular crisp and slangy. Yet like many Hebrew poets he can't fully escape biblical allusion and this is shown in the last poem `Red Catalog of the Word Sunset.' Here a French poet sees red and compares it to `burgundy from a cloud of grapes" an English poet to a rose but the Hebrew poet to blood. Someck's is a country "fastening cannibal lips/ to the setting sun's virginal throat.' The poet's arms are `oars of fear' which `row like Noah to Ararat."

1994Best.-Nr. 67904Colorado Springs CO: Three Continents Press 1994. First English Language Editionstated. Presumed first printing. Trade paperback. Good. Signed by author. Cover has some wear soiling and creases. Signed inscription on half-title. Mulcahy Joyce. xiv 2 169 3 p. Occasional footnotes. From an on-line posting: "Tel Aviv 1932 read history and political science in his native town and in Jerusalem. Apart from some ten collections of poems he published children's books essays and literary interviews. He also translates from English and for thirty years he was a member of the editorial staff of Maariv a leading Israel daily. He is known as well from radio and television for his contributions on literature and his comments on other topics. In London he has been both cultural attaché and journalist and in Washington's American University he was Writer-in-Residence. Moshe Dor was one of the founders and editors of Likrat the forum of a new generation of authors which caused something of a revolution in poetry. His very first collection Broshim Levanim White cypresses 1954 spearheaded these young poets who favoured the application of a new more spontaneous Hebrew. His sensual brightly coloured style is reminiscent of the work of Abraham Shlonsky one of the great Hebrew poets of the first half of this century. The flush of a new lifestyle the recently acquired independence the intoxication of the Israel landscapes with its bright colours smells and sensual titillations all came together in Moshe Dor's poems and gave his nation's poetry a new incentive. His poetry has evolved over the years. The enthousiasm the pathos and extreme figurativeness have gradually been replaced by a new elegic-lyrical-existential sound. The Israel me has opened up to the wide world around has surrendered to another romantic setting. Moshe Dor's initial attitude hasn't disappeared altogether but it has been toned down and it has been enriched by the scepticism of a writer who gradually shifted from the Song of Songs to Ecclesiastes."

The prophets in Thom's bible are historians scientists and philosophers. He identifies the discoveries of systems and information theory early in the 20th century as the last stage in the emancipation of science from theology and examines the implications of that distinction for the concepts of faith and truth. The story he tells is the natural history of intelligence as well as the justification for his faith in intelligence. -- Contents: Introduction: The Road to Rational Faith; I In the Beginning: The Origins and Evolution of Intelligence 1 The Right Choice: Nature's Discovery of Purpose and Intelligence 2 Nature of Biological Control Systems 3 Memories & Emergence of Intelligence 4 Types of Intelligence Bodily Coordination Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence; Spatial & Conceptual Intelligence Organization of Information; Logical-mathematical & Intrapersonal & Interpersonal intelligence; Social Awareness as a Tool of Intelligence 5 Evolution of Intelligence Becomes a Social Story 6 Development of Human Intelligence 7 "Thought Contagion" the Social Version of the "Tropism for Truth" 8 Evolution of Social Organization 9 Intelligent Social Responsibility Intelligence as a Source of Social Imperatives; Advantages of Personal Relationships; Emotional Side Effects of Personal Encounters; Status as a Motive for Socially Responsible Behavior; Benefits of Membership; Functional Advantages of Social Arrangements; Advantages of Cooperative Activities; Religious Beliefs that Mandate Altruistic Behavior; Intentional Maliciousness: The Other Side of Altruism 10 Families Tribes and the Church and State A New World of Human Organizations and Ideologies; Creative Role of Social Organizations; Religion: One of the First Social Inventions; Dark Side of Social Organizations; Human Species Has Created Its Own "Frankensteins"; Religious and Political Leaders As Surrogates for Natural Selection 11 Social Changes that Emerged with the Growth of the Population 12 Civilization and the Evolution of Intelligence Social Barriers to Intellectual Progress; Special Role of Religion in Intellectual Development; Origins of Monotheism; Two Streams of Intellectual Progress II Natural Progress of Intelligence 13 Birth of Philosophy and the Beginnings of Science Role of Inconsistencies and Anomalies in Intellectual Progress; Identification Intellectual Progress 14 Critical Concepts and Intellectual Progress Animate and Inanimate Objects; Nature of Inanimate Objects; Nature and Structure of the Earth; Earth Sciences; Evolution: The Emancipation of the Biological Sciences from Divine Intervention; Systems Theory: New Theories of Organization and Control III Struggle Against Barriers to Intellectual Progress 15 Christianity Opens the Door to Political and Intellectual Freedom 16 Individualism: A Breakthrough in the Evolution of Intelligence Intellectuals Look at God; A Cynic Looks at Politics; Role of Individualism in Economic Theory; Who Should Pilot the Evolutionary Airplane 17 Rulers of the Sovereign States Dominate the Modern World 18 Concepts of Democracy and Free Markets Became Contagious Colonization and Imperialism as Cultural and Economic Forces; Reaction Against the Controls of Mercantilism; Story of "The Long Nineteenth Century"; Industrial Revolution and the Rise of Modern Capitalism; Rise of Socialism and Communism; New Imperialism; How World War I Changed the World 19 Emergence of Liberal Principles as National Guidelines; Index; Endnotes Xlibris hardcover
