Spend less, see more. This is the philosophy behind Pauline Frommer’s guides. Written by travel expert Pauline Frommer (who is also the daughter of Arthur Frommer), and her team of hand–picked writers, these guides show how to truly experience a culture, meet locals, and save money along the way.
Jews have sometimes been reluctant to claim Jesus as one of their own; Christians have often been reluctant to acknowledge the degree to which Jesus" message and mission were at home amidst, and shaped by, the Judaism(s) of the Second Temple Period. In The Jewish Teachers of Jesus, James, and Jude David deSilva introduces readers to the ancient Jewish writings known as the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha and examines their formative impact on the teachings and mission of Jesus and his half-brothers, James and Jude. Knowledge of this literature, deSilva argues, helps to bridge the perceived gap between Jesus and Judaism when Judaism is understood only in terms of the Hebrew Bible (or ""Old Testament""), and not as a living, growing body of faith and practice.
Where our understanding of early Judaism is limited to the religion reflected in the Hebrew Bible, Jesus will appear more as an outsider speaking ""against"" Judaism and introducing more that is novel. Where our understanding of early Judaism is also informed by the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, we will see Jesus and his half-brothers speaking and interacting more fully within Judaism. By engaging critical issues in this comparative study, deSilva produces a portrait of Jesus that is fully at home in Roman Judea and Galilee, and perhaps an explanation for why these extra-biblical Jewish texts continued to be preserved in Christian circles.

This two-volume work functions both as a textbook for graduates and as a reference for economic scholars. Assuming only the minimal mathematics background required of every second-year graduate in economics, the two volumes provide a self-contained and careful development of mathematics through locally convex topological vector spaces, and fixed-point, separation, and selection theorems in such spaces.
Di ritorno da un viaggio di lavoro, Jack Morgan, proprietario e direttore dell"agenzia Private Investigations, trova nella sua villa di Malibu la più raccapricciante delle sorprese: distesa sul suo letto c"è una donna, con il maglione intriso di sangue. La scoperta si fa ancora più agghiacciante quando Morgan capisce di trovarsi di fronte al cadavere di Colleen Molloy, la sua ex amante; che aveva tentato di suicidarsi qualche mese prima, quando fra loro era tutto finito. Ma in questo caso non si tratta di un suicidio: Colleen è stata assassinata da un meticoloso professionista, in grado di far ricadere tutti i sospetti proprio su Jack Morgan, il cui legame con la vittima fornirebbe più di un movente per l"omicidio. Proprio per questo motivo il Los Angeles Police Department lo individua come il sospettato numero uno. La sua vita, da quel momento, precipita in un girone infernale.
