When peace talks between Palestinian and Israeli leaders collapsed at Camp David in 2000, a conflict as bloody as any that had ever occurred between the two peoples began. Now David Horovitz—editor of The Jerusalem Report—explores the quotidian and profound effects this conflict and its attendant terrorism have had on the lives of ordinary men, women and children. Horovitz describes the “grim lottery” of life in Israel since 2000. He makes clear that far from becoming blasé or desensitized, its citizens respond with deepening horror every time the front pages are disfigured by the rows of passport portraits presenting the faces of the newly dead. He takes us to the funeral of a murdered Israeli, where the presence of security personnel underlines that nowhere is safe. He describes how his wife must tell their children to close their eyes when they pass a just-exploded bus on the way to school, so that the images of carnage won’t haunt them. He talks with government officials on both sides of the conflict, with relatives of murdered victims, with Palestinian refugees, and with his own friends and family, letting us sense what it feels like to live with the constant threat and the horrific frequency of shootings and suicide bombings. Examining the motives behind the violence, he blames mistaken policies and actions on the Israeli as well as the Palestinian side, and details the suffering of Palestinians deprived of basic freedoms under strict Israeli controls. But at the root of this conflict, he argues, is terrorism and Yasser Arafat’s deliberate use of it after spurning a genuine opportunity for peace at Camp David, and then misleading his people, and much of the world, about what was on offer there. He describes how the world’s press has too often allowed prejudgment to replace fair-minded reporting. And finally, Horovitz makes us see the vast depth and extent of the mistrust between Israelis and Palestinians and the enormous challenges that underlie new attempts at peacemaking. Human and harrowing—and yet projecting an unexpected optimism—Still Life with Bombers affords us a remarkably balanced and insightful understanding of a seemingly intractable conflict.

The Oklahoma City bombing, intentional crashing of airliners on September 11, 2001, and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001 have made Americans acutely aware of the impacts of terrorism. These events and continued threats of terrorism have raised questions about the impact on the psychological health of the nation and how well the public health infrastructure is able to meet the psychological needs that will likely result. Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism highlights some of the critical issues in responding to the psychological needs that result from terrorism and provides possible options for intervention. The committee offers an example for a public health strategy that may serve as a base from which plans to prevent and respond to the psychological consequences of a variety of terrorism events can be formulated. The report includes recommendations for the training and education of service providers, ensuring appropriate guidelines for the protection of service providers, and developing public health surveillance for preevent, event, and postevent factors related to psychological consequences.

Sal Umana decided to publish his third book as part of a trilogy called "The Twin Towers Trilogy", containing his first two books, "The Day God Died", and" "The Day My Ego Died", and now a third, called Back to earth: A Spirituality for the Age of Terrorism. Sal rocked the religious world when he wrote his first book after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Sal, a psychotherapist, imagined God coming to him with an identity crisis. In "Doing Therapy for God", the author imagines God being upset by so many religious people who did so many ugly things to their fellow human beings "in the name of God." Who was this God they worshiped? The psychotherapist author tells God: " The reason you have been so depressed since Sept. 11 is that you are so disappointed at all the so-called "People of Faith" who pretend to speak for You, and then go against Your very nature as LOVE, and then go out and dominate, oppress, hate, and kill, all in the name of God. Happily, it all ended up okay because Sal sang a paean of praise to the real God, calling God the One, the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, and finally, Love itself. We don't know if God fell for this, but a year later, in "The Day My Ego Died", Sal goes to God and asks God to do a course of therapy on him. It was in the course of this treatment that Sal was asked to commit Ego suicide for no reason whatsoever, except that God didn't have an Ego, so why should he? You don't understand? Then read the book. This should have been enough, but along comes the tenth anniversary of the Twin Towers Tragedy, and Sal sees a team of Navy Seals wipe out Osama Bin Laden and we are back to Christian triumphalist revenge. So Sal, Christian pacifist, had to write a third book on Spirituality for the Age of Terrorism. First, he had to explain the "God Who Never Was" and the "God Who always Was." But God was fine. It was Sal's not quite dead Ego that needed the work. This he expands upon in the Third Chapter, "The Dark Night of the Ego". The Fourth Chapter is about "Living Without Ego", which really is about being a lover and accepting that we are all One with God. Finally, we all need to practice dying, so in the Fifth Chapter, "Dying Without Ego," he has some delightful tips on how to die each day, actually, how to die each moment, so that we will be so ready for death that we will enjoy it like going to a family reunion.

"Is terrorism crime or war? Can there be a 'war against terrorism'? In this fully updated edition, Charles Townshend unravels the questions at the heart of the problem of terrorism - its causes, methods, effects, and limitations - suggesting that it must be understood as a political strategy whose threat can be rationally grasped and answered"--Publisher's description.

In recent years much has happened to justify an examination of biological research in light of national security concerns. The destructive application of biotechnology research includes activities such as spreading common pathogens or transforming them into even more lethal forms. Policymakers and the scientific community at large must put forth a vigorous and immediate response to this challenge. This new book by the National Research Council recommends that the government expand existing regulations and rely on self-governance by scientists rather than adopt intrusive new policies. One key recommendation of the report is that the government should not attempt to regulate scientific publishing but should trust scientists and journals to screen their papers for security risks, a task some journals have already taken up. With biological information and tools widely distributed, regulating only U.S. researchers would have little effect. A new International Forum on Biosecurity should encourage the adoption of similar measures around the world. Seven types of risky studies would require approval by the Institutional Biosafety Committees that already oversee recombinant DNA research at some 400 U.S. institutions. These "experiments of concern" include making an infectious agent more lethal and rendering vaccines powerless.
