An Introduction through Original Fiction, Discussion, and Readings

Contemporary Moral and Social Issues

God in All Moments contains mystical and practical wisdom—for daily life. The least known of the Hasidic masters' teachings—the hanhagot, or "spiritual practices"—are at the heart of this book. These short lists of instructions were created for their followers, inspirational treasures intended to be carried with you at all times. They were to be read again and again—providing spiritual guidance, centering and aid in bringing joy and God’s presence into daily life. Practical, personal and wise, these brief teachings range from straightforward instructions to visualization exercises, meditations and mantras. Also included are the hanhagot of two neo-Hasidic thinkers: the modern journalist and mystic Hillel Zeitlin (1871–1942), and the contemporary theologian Arthur Green. As reviewer Rabbi Edward Feinstein writes on the back cover, “We open this book and come upon a hidden treasure of Jewish wisdom and insight. Or Rose has provided the key to the luminous riches of Hasidic thought and life.” In modern transpersonal psychology these “hanhagot” might be called “affirmations,” which I have found to be very helpful in my own spiritual development. An extremely important contribution to our understanding of Hasidut, and to our own spiritual growth.

From the reviews:" ...takes full advantage of the high quality microscope photographs to guide us through the rich, variable and beautiful world of pollen morphology. ..." Petr Kuneš in Folia Geobot (2009) 44:435–450"This is a beautifully illustrated, wonderful book that will serve as an important text and reference on pollen terminology for years to come. ..."Bruce Kirchoff, Department of Biology, UNC Greensboro in Plant Science Bulletin 55(2) 2009" … Finally I got "Pollen Terminology. An illustrated handbook … Undoubtedly, it is the best, the most complete and well-illustrated book on pollen terminology ever published! …"Dmitri Britski, St. PetersburgApril 2009"The outstanding feature of this book is the superb quality of the illustrations, which are both scientifically and aesthetically pleasing. (...)The new book ... puts considerable emphasis on high-quality EM images; one of their stated aims is to illustrate pollen features in this way."Carol A. Furness, Micromorphology Section, Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens in Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 16 June 2009.'The Hesse et al. 'Pollen Terminology' book is an extraordinary work. (...)'John Rowley, September 2009.'...this handbook is not only of practical use but also exceptionally well-crafted and a delight ot the eye. ... I have no doubt that this will become an indespensable standard reference work for all scientists studying pollen.'Robert Grant-Downton in 'Annals of Botany', Dec. 1, 2009. doi:10.1093/aob/mcp289“The title, Pollen Terminology, does indeed provide an accurate and succinct summary of this book … . This book is definitely worth having for the images alone. … I certainly recommend this volume. It is a book that should be on every palynologist’s bookshelf … . It’s one of those books that you didn’t know you needed, but the instant you see it, you know it’s just what you’ve wanted and is soon going to be indispensable.” (Alwynne B.

"This book is an authoritative and thorough account of numerous mathematical techniques used by research astronomers and I can strongly recommend it for those purposes." (C.R. Kitchin, Astronomy Now, Oct. 2003)
"The book addresses not only students and professional astronomers and astrophysicists, but also serious amateur astronomers and specialists in earth observation, medical imaging, and data mining." (Europe & Astronomy, 905, 2003)
"The phenomenal amounts of data produced by modern telescopes require powerful tools to extract whatever valuable nuggets of information they contain from the dross of unwanted signal and noise. Computer power available to reduce the data is barely sufficient to keep pace. This monograph is aimed at solving these problems by a variety of different methods. [...] The book includes a number of well-chosen illustrative examples, some based on real, and others on artificial data. It also has a substantial bibliography. However it is not a guide to the several excellent reduction packages currently available. Rather it is a thorough investigation of how astronomical images can be modelled and how the maximum information can be extracted from the noise, and for this it can be recommended." (The Observatory, 123/1174, 2003)

From the book reviews:“This book is an expanded version of a German work published in 2011. … The book is very well written and illustrated with many pictures to simplify the author’s discussion; it will be accessible to a wide audience. Summing Up: Recommended. All academic and general library collections.” (D. S. Paulson, Choice, Vol. 52 (5), January, 2015)“Birk Engmann has written a clear, engaging, scholarly account of selected research and provides his perspectives on near-death experiences (NDEs). … Engmann approaches the topic as a skeptic who challenges popular conclusions that NDEs represent metaphysical glimpses into an afterlife or proof that consciousness exists separate from a person’s physical body. His approach is sufficiently scholarly to be rigorous and should be clearly understandable by both professionals and an educated, nonprofessional audience.” (Gary Groth-Marnat, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (30), July, 2014)

"'Follow the money’ isn’t just sound advice for people tracing political corruption or criminal activity. 　Brennan and Surprenant persuasively demonstrate that understanding financial incentives and how institutions are held accountable is critical for checking the dynamics that lead to mass incarceration and excessive criminalization. This insightful book offers countless examples of the ways in which perverse incentives lead to excessive punishment without bringing public safety or other benefits. If we want to take a more rational approach to criminal justice policy making, analyzing the incentives of institutional actors is the key place to start, as this book shows."—Rachel Elise Barkow, author of Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration
"The authors say interesting and at times provocative things about a number of important topics, and they do so in a clear, accessible, and engaging manner. They make good use of both specific examples and more general statistics and they strike a nice balance between the concrete and the theoretical. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in thinking critically about our criminal justice system."—David Boonin, University of Colorado, Boulder

'Grace's extensively researched and crisp, lucid prose makes Kerouac come alive as an interdisciplinary artist whose work implores American to reclaim its spiritual folk heritage. Grace's careful attention to language, craft, and context deepens our understanding of Kerouac the prophet-quester and Kerouac the experimental writer. An invaluable study of the syncretic American Christian Buddhist literature Kerouac produced, this book clarifies Kerouac's fusion of the Cross and the Bodhi Tree - and makes us better readers of the eclectic wisdom texts from which this fusion emerged.' - Tony Trigilio, Columbia College Chicago, USA; Author of Allen Ginsberg's Buddhist Poetics (2007)

'How did a first-generation New Englander of working class Canuck parentage turn himself into a great American writer? Grace's scholarship illuminates Kerouac's achievement and explains how his writing reflects the diverse cultural traditions that nourished his genius. A most helpful book.' - Ann Charters, Professor of English, University of Connecticut, USA

'By drawing on the newly published Some of the Dharma and through her fresh readings of Kerouac's central novels, Nancy Grace has given us the most powerful and comprehensive account to date of why Kerouac was right to claim that 'Beat' is at root 'beatitude.' Through her rich interrogation of Kerouac's sustained dialogue with his Catholocism, Buddhism, and his faith in American possibility past and present, we are privileged to see not simply Kerouac the seeker after kicks but Kerouac the religious seeker and Kerouac the religious thinker.' - Timothy Hunt, Professor of English, Illinois State University, USA; Author of Kerouac's Crooked Road: Development of a Fiction

“Masazumi Wakatabe have written the best book to date on the Japanese economic crisis and Shinjo Abe’s campaign to resolve it. … it deserves a wide audience among Japan specialists and general readers alike. … The global financial crisis, like Japan’s great stagnation, is a reminder that macroeconomic analysis needs to be informed by economic history and the history of economic thought. Japan’s Great Stagnation and Abenomics is a textbook example of how this should be done.” (Barry Eichengreen, Japanese Journal of Political Science, Vol. 17, 2015)"The initiative of 'Abenomics' led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe woke up the Japanese economy, a sleeping lion, to a vigorous growth that drew the attention of international media. Yet, we do not have a systematic account in English of the process by which Abenomics led Japan to recover in a few years after almost two decades of stagnation. Excellently trained in monetary economics and in political economy, Wakatabe provides us an academic study of macroeconomic mechanism, political incentives, and the role of economic ideology behind this magic comeback." - Koichi Hamada, Tuntex Professor Emeritus of Economics, Yale University, USA; Special Advisor to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

"In this very good, thoughtful analysis focusing on Japan's mediocre economic performance since 1990, Wakatabe stresses the context in which conflicts between a structured view and a macroeconomic view led to major macroeconomic policy mistakes. From this history, he derives monetary lessons for foreign policy makers. He then provides an interim evaluation of Abenomics." - Hugh Patrick, Director, Center on Japanese Economy and Business, Columbia Business School, USA

Richard Campione, Senior Vice President, Business Suite Solution Management & CRM On Demand, SAP, Germany/USA

"Mr. Kittlaus and Mr. Clough have used their considerable knowledge and experience to succinctly lay out the value chain that is essential to the development of a financially healthy software company. If you want to understand how to turn software technology into a long-term profitable company this is the book to read."

Paul Kaplan, Vice President, Worldwide Enterprise Software Sales, Software Group, IBM, USA


"This book on Software Product Management and Pricing is the first book that treats the business of software in a systematical way. Although software products were already shipped in the seventies of the last century, there are hardly any books providing an overview of all issues a company faces when playing a role in this industry. Product management and pricing are key processes, and this book informs the reader of the essentials. It is a must-read for anyone involved in software products, be it in business or in research."Prof. Dr. Sjaak Brinkkemper, Information and Computing Sciences, Utrecht University, Netherlands

"This compendium covers all facets of the software business using the advanced professionalism of the industry's global players as its standard. The authors have managed to combine professional accuracy with helpful practical examples and valuable references for further reading. Highly recommended, in particular for managers in corporate IT and software vendor organizations!"
Wilhelm Gans, CTO, DSV Group (German Savings Banks Organization), Germany

"A comprehensive book on best practices for software product management and pricing. It provides a deep insight into strategy and tactics of software organizations in a time of growing complexity and new challenges like Software as a Service." 
Udo Hertz, Director of Information Management Development, IBM Germany Research & Development, Germany
"Software is big business to the largest of the information technology companies. … Kittlaus and Clough frame their topics with considerable insight. … written for practitioners that work with or are responsible for software product management and pricing. Kittlaus and Clough have shared their points of view in a well-structured, easy-to-read format. … The authors added job descriptions for the software product management role and software pricing manager, which are very helpful in distinguishing these roles from others that may be or sound related."
