The Jewish coming-of-age ceremony of bar mitzvah was first recorded in thirteenth-century France, where it took the form of a simple statement by the father that he was no longer responsible for his thirteen-year-old son. Today, bar mitzvah for boys and bat mitzvah for girls are more popular than at any time in history and are sometimes accompanied by lavish celebrations. How did bar mitzvah develop over the centuries from an obscure legal ritual into a core component of Judaism? How did it capture the imagination of even non-Jewish youth? Bar Mitzvah, A History is a comprehensive account of the ceremonies and celebrations for both boys and girls. A cultural anthropology informed by rabbinic knowledge, it explores the origins and development of the most important coming-of-age milestone in Judaism. Rabbi Michael Hilton has sought out every reference to bar mitzvah in the Bible, the Talmud, and numerous other Jewish texts spanning several centuries, extracting a fascinating miscellany of information, stories, and commentary.

CHALLENGING THE MYTHS OF GENDER EQUALITY: THEOLOGY AND FEMINISM The book offers critical insight into the significance of synergy between feminist theory and theological anthropology in combating sexism in our society today. The analysis of feminisms challenge of male-chauvinistic discourse that has been for centuries an instrument of patriarchal manipulation is very elucidating. The authors use of Genesis creation narrative to show how God intends that all live in love and communion, and show equal regard to each other is exceptionally provocative. Even though Michael believes that Jesus may not be rightly termed a feminist in the modern understanding of the term, he demonstrates how Jesus critical stance towards some androcentric structures of his day is a testimony to his vision and mission of inclusive kingdom where all are equal. The book is very important for anyone committed to ensuring a society devoid of gender-based discriminations and violence. Prof. Dr. Annemie Dillens remarks on the book is worth noting: Michael Muonwe has made it clear that the experiences by women of social exclusion and disadvantage require a thorough dialogue between feminism and Christianity. In a global context where Christianity and feminism are mutually condemning each other, this book offers a profound insight into many differences within feminism and feminist theology, and thus avoids all-too-easy generalizations Both the author and his work continue to encourage me, and I hope all readers will also acknowledge the value, the richness, and the joy of doing theology (Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium). According to Prof. em. Dr. Peter Schmidt, This book should be known by many, not only by those who are already engaged on the problem of gender inequality, but maybe still more by those who have no real knowledge of the problem and its urgency. The author is not only an expert on the matter, but both his clarity of thought and style, and his genuine commitment to the cause make it a most commendable reading (Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium).

A Sephardi Sea tells the story of Jews from the southern shore of the Mediterranean who, between the late 1940s and the mid-1960s, migrated from their country of birth for Europe, Israel, and beyond. It is a story that explores their contrasting memories of and feelings for a Sephardi Jewish world in North Africa and Egypt that is lost forever but whose echoes many still hear. Surely, some of these Jewish migrants were already familiar with their new countries of residence because of colonial ties or of Zionism, and often spoke the language. Why, then, was the act of leaving so painful and why, more than fifty years afterward, is its memory still so tangible? Dario Miccoli examines how the memories of a bygone Sephardi Mediterranean world became preserved in three national contexts—Israel, France, and Italy—where the Jews of the Middle East and North Africa and their descendants migrated and nowadays live. A Sephardi Sea exploreshow practices of memory- and heritage-making—from the writing of novels and memoirs to the opening of museums and memorials, the activities of heritage associations and state-led celebrations—has filled an identity vacuum in the three countries and helps the Jews from North Africa and Egypt to define their Jewishness in Europe and Israel today but also reinforce their connection to a vanished world now remembered with nostalgia, affection, and sadness.

Social Sciences Today: Between Theory and Practice is a collection of essays that will appeal to teachers and researchers of social sciences no matter the level of instruction. The essays deal with three main issues of social sciences in Europe and Asia nowadays: educational theory (education as a social phenomenon—active learning, continuous training, cultivation of creativity in schoolchildren, design and implementation of educational subsystems, environmental education, environmental awareness, management strategies for homework, reform of the social protection system, and youth education); theory and methodology of the curriculum and of education—educational class, e-learning implementation; philosophy, psychology and sociology of education—counselling, education, educational principles, emotionality, focus, freedom, human needs, ideal, plagiarism, psycho-moral profile, research design, self-confidence, sociability, and values); society in the context of globalisation (foreign language knowledge, the information age, the interaction between culture and translation, and peace education); and identity, alterity and multiculturalism (cultural encounter, education, ethnic animosity, habitus, language, racism, and the village).

Land degradation caused by salinity and waterlogging is a global problem afflicting about one billion hectares and endangering the food security of at least 75 countries. Since the social, economic and environmental costs of on and/off-farm reclamation techniques are high, agroforestry is now emerging as a potential tool, not only for arresting salinity and waterlogging, but also for other environmental services like mitigating climate change, sequestering carbon and restoring biodiversity. This publication addresses the vital issues, principles and practices related to rehabilitation using agroforestry and includes many site-specific case studies from a number of the world’s typical catchments. Written by leading researchers, the book is a must, not only for scientists whose research interests lie in soil salinity, waterlogging and poor-quality waters, but also policy makers, environmentalists, students, and educationists alike. More importantly, it contributes to reversing the salinity trends and ensuring the livelihoods of resource-poor farming families living in these harsh agro-ecosystems.
