In Jet Age, journalist Sam Howe Verhovek explores the advent of the first generation of jet airliners & the people who designed, built, & flew them. The path to jet travel was triumphal & amazingly rapid-less than fifty years after the Wright Brothers` first flight at Kitty Hawk, Great Britain led the world with the first commercial jet plane service. Yet the pioneering British Comet was cursed with a tragic, mysterious flaw, & an upstart Seattle company put a new competitor in the sky: the Boeing 707 Jet Stratoliner. Jet Age vividly re-creates the race between two nations, two global airlines, & two rival teams of brilliant engineers for bragging rights to the first jet service across the Atlantic Ocean in 1958. Verhovek`s Jet Age offers a gorgeous rendering of an exciting age & fascinating technology that permanently changed our conception of distance & time. ...

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Jet lag is a momentary condition resulting from the human body & its inner clock being pitched against the time-leaping effects of modern aviation. But more than that, it is a situation that explains time, technology, & the human body. Jet lag epitomizes the accelerated world we live in. It makes the speed & discomfort of globalization tangible on a personal level. Tracing physiological, temporal, technological, & cultural meanings, Christopher J. Lee`s Jet Lag ponders our intrinsic human limits in the face of modern innovation, revealing the latent costs of global cosmopolitanism today. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. ...

2006 marked the 350th Anniversary of the Resettlement of the Jewish community in Engl&. In 1656 Jews returned to England after an absence of nearly 400 years, since the medieval expulsion under Edward I in 1290. Jews from Amsterdam came back in the wake of Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel's petition to Oliver Cromwell, during the brief period when England was a republic. The Jewish community has enjoyed a history of continuous settlement in England since 1656, a record unmatched anywhere else in Europe. Today, Anglo-Jewry, a small community that has never numbered more than about 450, 000 people, is the oldest non-Christian minority in Britain. For the first time, Jewish Heritage in England celebrates in full colour the undiscovered heritage of Anglo-Jewry. It is the first comprehensive guide to historic synagogues & sites in this country dating from before the Second World War, based on an authoritative survey carried out with the support of English Heritage & the Heritage Lottery Fund. The guide is easy to use, covering more than 300 sites, organised on a region-by-region basis. Each section highlights major Jewish landmarks, ranging from Britain's oldest synagogue, Bevis Marks Synagogue in the City of London, through the Georgian gems of the West Country to the splendid High Victorian cathedral synagogues of Birmingham, Brighton & Liverpool. Heritage trails around former Jewish quarters of the major cities are included. Relics of Anglo-Jewry's medieval past are explored in York, Lincoln & Norwich, & venerable burial grounds with Hebrew inscriptions are found in the unlikeliest of places. Curious oddities are not to be missed, including a 19th-century private penthouse synagogue in Brighton & an Egyptian-style Mikveh [ritual bath] in Canterbury. This guide will undoubtedly appeal both to the specialist & the tourist alike. ...

Drawing on travel chronicles, biographies, modern literary reflections & Biblical sources, “ Jewish Journeys” explains why the ‘journey’, from Abraham journeying from one land & culture in search of another to the creation of Israel, is at the heart of the Jewish experience. He muses on many things about Israel, such as the motivations for contemporary travellers, views on modern satirical approaches to subject such as the holocaust & the ambiguities of trips to Pol&. Inviting the contemporary reader to consider the vastness of the Jewish journey, to enjoy the reflections of those who recorded their experiences, & to place themselves somewhere in the continuum, this is a truly interesting read, whatever political beliefs you bring to it. ...
