A Forever War
A Forever War: Israel and Palestine achieves something quite extraordinary. At a time when passions run high and the Israel-Gaza war intensifies, so much coverage is based on prejudice, fear and ignorance. Colin Shindler, Emeritus Professor of Israel Studies at SOAS, presents a calm, scholarly and dispassionate view of the past and of what might lie ahead. Since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the Middle East has been thrown into conflict. Shindler reflects on the key questions: How did this state of affairs come about? Is it even possible to write an impartial account? Could all the conflict have been avoided? How is it that Israel itself is a divided nation and even other Arab nations treat the Palestinians so badl? n both sides are the extremists - terrorists and ultra-nationalist religious Jews who are determined to seize land from Palestinians and dream of a new Jewish theocracy based on a Greater Israel - but A Forever War strives for objectivity and asks how we can best approach the truth in a time of such complex division.

Why We Suffer and How We Heal
When we're enjoying spring and summer, we don't imagine that they'll last forever. The same should be true for our own lives.
Some survivors are unflappable, yet it's not their optimism or grit that carries them forward, but their acceptance of life's inherent instability. In her debut book, Harvard- and Stanford-trained child and adult psychiatrist Dr. Suzan Song draws from her clinical practice, patient stories and research to help readers release their unrealistic longing for stability, using the three tools that allow us to weather life's stormiest seasons: narrative, ritual and purpose.
Dr. Song draws on the visual motifs of the 'three friends of winter' in Korean art - pine, bamboo and plum blossoms - plants that thrive even in the harshest of winters. For all humankind the universal 'three friends of winter,' are narrative, rituals and purpose. Why We Suffer and How We Heal will open us up to a new, heathier mindset and teach us to transform life's challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.
