Through a review of historical scholarship of the past century, and an analysis of data drawn from archaeological excavations and surveys and from written and historical records from the late second and early first millennium, the author reconstructs the historical basis of Israel's origins within the contexts of geography, anthropology, and sociology. Thompson argues that none of the traditional models for the origin of biblical Israel in terms of conquest, peaceful settlement, or revolution are viable. The indigenous nature of the Israelite people has roots that lead back to the late Neolithic period. The Iron I period is not the period in which the origins of Israel are to be sought. Rather the geographical and regional expansion of settlements in this period reflects an economic response to drought conditions that affected the entire East Mediterranean basin. The ninth and eighth century states of Samaria and Jerusalem had separate and independent origins rooted in the development of a Mediterranean economy and an expansion of trade brought about by Assyrian interests. The development of the ethnic concept of biblical Israel with its roots in the United Monarchy finds its context in history first at the time of the Persian renaissance guided by the theological concepts of 'exile' and 'restoration.' Finally, Thompson argues that biblical Israel is historically the creation of the tradition itself in the Persian period and attempts to outline both a historical context and an interpretative matrix for the Bible.

Have you ever thought about the day-to-day life of Jigoro Kano? What was daily life like in the first years since the founding of the Kodokan? We are sure that you as a lover of Judo and martial arts at some point have had the curiosity to know intimately the events of those years that forged the legend that of the newly created Jujutsu school of Jigoro Kano and later renamed as Judo and the extraordinary expansion on all continents. Jigoro Kano Shihan was an extraordinary man, a visionary, an exceptional educator who knew how to reform Jujutsu to adapt it to the new times, preventing it from becoming extinct as happened with other Japanese arts. In this novel, the authors have the romantic intention of transporting the reader to those difficult times, full of uncertainty and social instability. We encourage you to put yourself in the shoes of Jigoro Kano and his disciples; we share with you his joys and achievements and also his fears and failures. Dojoyaburi referred to a type of challenge that ancient martial arts schools use to set up their difference and often had fatal consequences. Surviving those days, standing out as a new Jujutsu school and creating a network of instructors and students who spread the art all over the world was an extremely difficult and complex task that only a great human being like Jigoro Kano could make possible with the incomparable help of his trusted disciples. The events take place from 1881, before creating the Kodokan, until 1884 where the first challenge between the Totsuka Yoshin ryu School and the Kodokan takes place. To give it the form of a novel we have carried out an exhaustive work with documentation and research. We have united our perspective of the facts, dressing the events with a magical realism so the reader can feel them just as we feel them. Open the book and travel through time to experience those events that were recorded for eternity. Happy Reading.

With enlightening examples and illustrations drawn from counseling literature, RESEARCH DESIGN IN COUNSELING, 4th Edition facilitates a conceptual understanding of research design as well as the important role of science in counseling and counseling psychology today. In doing so, the text fully addresses the strengths and weaknesses of all of the major designs, and focuses on a broad array of methodological issues. In addition to introducing students to the existing scientific literature in counseling and counseling psychology, the authors address professional writing, ethics, and research training. Their evenhanded approach provides students with an understanding of the various types of research, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Writing more than just a how-to book, the authors present a compelling rationale for the necessity of conducting research, and persuasively promote the necessity for greater integration of science and practice to enhance the effectiveness of both science and practice in counseling and counseling psychology.

"The experiences of New Orleans' Creoles of color crystallize the problem of living on the 'color line,' a problem that W.E.B. DuBois would articulate at the dawn of the twentieth century. Exiles at home highlights the costs and benefits of becoming American, as Creoles of color passed among various racial categories and through different social spaces"--Provided by publisher.
