Book Description

It is spring on the farm, and young Ben has a big job. It is to protect all the birds that live there. Luckily, his friends Hana and Tigger help him whenever they can. One day, after having rescued Mabel, the guinea hen's young keets, from a hungry fox, Ben is given a thank-you gift of eighteen guinea eggs for his gallant act of bravery from all the guinea hens. Ben doesn't have a clue what to do with all these eggs. After all, he is only allowed to eat the eggs the humans cook for him. So he just thanks the guinea hens and calls for Hana to assist him in figuring out what to do with the eggs. Hana comes up with a plan. Though she doesn't have any idea of why, how long, or what the results will be, they decide to put her plan into action. Over the next few weeks, between guarding the farm birds and running off on false cries for help from Rudy the peacock, who seems to think a bug getting away is an emergency, Ben takes his turn at taking care of the eggs to give Hana a much-needed break so she can get some exercise and hopefully he can sneak in a nap. When the morning finally arrives, they find out the result of Hana's plan of what to do with the eggs. Ben cannot believe what his eyes are seeing as he howls for Hana to come quick. This is more than just another day on the farm.

Book Description

Generation Z doesn't play by the same rules or wait for permission. They don't stand for social injustice or splash cash with reckless abandon. They innovate. They influence. They side-hustle. They disrupt. Their arrival is changing everything we know about culture, work, and commerce and understanding who they are and how they think and behave will be crucial to educators, business leaders, and policy makers alike. Born between 1998 and 2016, this 78-million-strong cohort of young Americans is a generation like no other. They have never known a world without a search engine, cell phone, or social media and they grew up amidst constant economic, social, and political changes that have shaped their values. The combined effect of the two - technology and values - is creating a new set of norms and behaviors that will not only challenge everything we know about business but will also trickle up and spread to other generations. Getting to know Gen Z is therefore a business imperative and Gen Z 360 is your ultimate guide for what's to come. Based on in-depth research and years of experience advising global brands and retailers, author Hana Ben-Shabat-an award-winning management consultant and founder of research firm Gen Z Planet- not only describes the unique characteristics of this upcoming generation, but also digs deeper into the "why", explaining what's behind the change and thus what it will take to navigate it. From how to recruit, train, and integrate this hardworking and hungry generation into today's multigenerational workforce, through to how to market to them - Gen Z 360 is packed with insights and no-nonsense guidance that can make all the difference during one of the most transformative periods in business history.Believing that if you want to know a generation, just ask "what's your biggest dream," Ben-Shabat in her ongoing research collected thousands of dream statements from Gen Zers. With the help of artists from all around the world, a selected number of these statements turned into illustrations. These are shared throughout the book, providing a unique perspective into the hearts and minds of this generation.

Book Description

A constant feature of Jewish culture in the medieval Mediterranean was the dedication of panegyric texts in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, and other languages to men of several ranks: scholars, communal leaders, courtiers, merchants, patrons, and poets. Although the imagery of nature and eroticism in the preludes to these poems is often studied, the substance of what follows is generally neglected, as it is perceived to be repetitive, obsequious, and less aesthetically interesting than other types of poetry from the period. In Dominion Built of Praise, Jonathan Decter demurs. As is the case with visual portraits, panegyrics operate according to a code of cultural norms that tell us at least as much about the society that produced them as the individuals they portray. Looking at the phenomenon of panegyric in Mediterranean Jewish culture from several overlapping perspectives—social, historical, ethical, poetic, political, and theological—he finds that they offer representations of Jewish political leadership as it varied across geographic area and evolved over time. Decter focuses his analysis primarily on Jewish centers in the Islamic Mediterranean between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and also includes a chapter on Jews in the Christian Mediterranean through the fifteenth century. He examines the hundreds of panegyrics that have survived: some copied repeatedly in luxurious anthologies, others discarded haphazardly in the Cairo Geniza. According to Decter, the poems extolled conventional character traits ascribed to leaders not only diachronically within the Jewish political tradition but also synchronically within Islamic and, to a lesser extent, Christian civilization and political culture. Dominion Built of Praise reveals more than a superficial and functional parallel between Muslim and Jewish forms of statecraft and demonstrates how ideas of Islamic political legitimacy profoundly shaped the ways in which Jews conceptualized and portrayed their own leadership.
