Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 24 cm. x, [6], 224 pages. Maps. Appendix. Notes. Index. Shimon Peres (born Szymon Perski; 2 August 1923 - 28 September 2016) was an Israeli politician who served as the ninth President of Israel (2007-2014), the Prime Minister of Israel (twice), and the Interim Prime Minister, in the 1970s to the 1990s. He was a member of twelve cabinets and represented five political parties in a political career spanning 70 years. Peres was elected to the Knesset in November 1959 and except for a three-month-long hiatus in early 2006, was in office continuously until he was elected President in 2007. When he retired in 2014, he was the world's oldest head of state and was considered the last link to Israel's founding generation. He was chosen as a protégé by David Ben-Gurion. He held several diplomatic and military positions during and directly after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. His first high-level government position was as Deputy Director-General of Defense in 1952, and Director-General from 1953 until 1959. In 1956, he took part in the historic negotiations on the Protocol of Sèvres described by British Prime Minister Anthony Eden as the "highest form of statesmanship". In 1963, he held negotiations with U.S. President John F. Kennedy, which resulted in the sale of Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Israel, the first sale of U.S. military equipment to Israel. Peres was Prime Minister from 1984 to 1986. As Foreign Minister under Prime Minister Rabin, Peres engineered the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty, and won the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize together with Rabin and Yasser Arafat for the Oslo Accords peace talks. The co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for 1994 offers a compelling vision of the future for the Middle East, in which he sees a reconstructed region free of past conflicts, allowing a social and economic revival, and provides a cogent analysis showing how this peace can be achieved. Arye Naor is Emeritus Professor of the GGFBM Department of Public Policy and Administration, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and today heads the Political and Communications Course at Hadassah Academic College of Jerusalem. The late-summer headlines of a landmark peace accord between the government of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization stunned and delighted citizens of conscience from every walk of life and from all over the world. Here, at last, were the first glimmerings of harmony for a region whose bloody, intractable conflicts between Arab and Jew had outlived hot and cold wars alike to become an inescapable, insoluble fact of life in our modern age. Many men and women of peace and vision worked together to bring about this epoch-making accord, but none played a more prominent and crucial role than Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, and former Prime Minister, Shimon Peres. Using both behind-the-scenes statecraft and the very public platform of the international media, Peres has called for nothing less than a total transvaluation of our thinking about the future of the Middle East. Peace, he has argued eloquently, is the only alternative for Jews and Arabs poised on the verge of a new century, and a new millennium. Peace will come only as the result of compromise. Peace is the only way to prevent posterity from making the same terrible mistakes of preceding generations. In The New Middle East Peres offers a compelling vision of the future for his region. He sees a reconstructed Middle East, free of the conflicts that plagued it in the past, set to take its place in a new era - an era that will not tolerate backwardness or ignorance. He sees a social revival, and an economic revival as well - one fueled by the billions upon billions of dollars wasted for decades on defense. But crucially, he is not fixated only on what might be. He offers a no less cogent analysis of how peace can be achieved. He seeks nothing short of a historic new chapter between two peoples: to end a hundred years of hostility, and to begin a hundred years of peace and.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The National Football League represents one of the pinnacles of athletic prowess in the United States, but playing for the organization has its consequences. Lost Seasons provides nine empirical studies on factors affecting players' health, careers, and general well-being, all correlated and rigorously examined by epidemiologist and football fan Jeffrey S. Markowitz, DrPH. High-profile arrests for domestic violence and driving under the influence dog the NFL-serious problems that tarnish the organization's reputation and ruin careers. Markowitz examines the nature of such arrests-leading to surprising conclusions. From there, Markowitz delves into the consequences of suspensions, fines, and potentially career-ending injuries, and how such factors impact players on and off the field. Finally, he examines postcareer mortality rates in every individual who played in the NFL between 1960 and 1986. Markowitz provides insightful and startling evidence on how birthplace, playing-time body mass index (BMI), race, and the number of seasons played affects athlete mortality once careers end. These results provide hard evidence that disparities exist in the risk of mortality among key groups of NFL players. Thoughtful and comprehensive, Lost Seasons provides a wealth of never-before compiled biomedical data on the consequences of playing America's most popular professional sport.…
