Judy Shapiro discovered the children's book "How Much
more ...
is a Million?" by David Schwartz in the ESRA second-hand shop. Although the book is written in a jovial tone and is meant to entertain children and teach them the meaning of great quatities, Judy could not help thinking of the terible connotations the phrase has for the Jewish people who will always remember the million children murdered during the holocaust.

Mike Porter found this a moving and interesting book,
more ...
which is more than just an excellent source of reference. The cover, he says, is misleading, and does not prepare one for the wealth of information it contains, and the varied choice of heroes it describes. Mike felt there is a closeness and personal feel to the stories, and recommends it warmly to all readers.

Pnina Moed Kass reviews 2 books of historical interest,
more ...
both of which she says were solidly researched, compiled, and edited. The first is In the Shadow of the Red Banner, by Yitzhak Arad which Pnina says is a fascinating historical record of the part Soviet Jewry played in the war against Nazi Germany. The second book is called Peace in the Making (The Menachem Begin-Anwar El-Sadat Personal Correspondence). Pnina compliments the editors on a breathtaking collection of letters, transcripts of speeches, press conferences, interviews, photos and official documents.

this article by David Chester, an engineer, gives us examples of this theory. A youngster who carries a heavy load of school books on his back – does this help to keep his back straight?

by Woolf Abrahams
Woolf Abrahams presents a synopsis of this fascinating
more ...
book where Professor Andrew Parker suggests that ancient Hebrew writers of the book of Genesis somehow may have known all about evolution 3,000 years before Darwin. The bottom line, says Woolf, is that somehow Prof. Parker sees and feels the hand of a Divinity in creation. He believes in a God. Woolf points out that this is unusual for a scientist who also believes in evolution that occurred over hundreds of millions of years.
