The Jewish world : history and culture of the Jewish people / by Kedourie, Elie.(CARDINAL)159031;
Bibliography: pages 319-320.Introduction / Elie Kedourie -- Pre-exilic Jewry / H.W.F. Saggs -- The Bible / Hyam Maccoby -- The Jews and the great powers of the ancient world / Zvi Yavetz -- The Talmud / Jacob Neusner -- t The ritual and music of the synagogue / Amnon Shiloah -- The Jews in Spain / Haim Beinart -- The Jews in Byzantium and medieval Europe / A. Grossman -- The Jews under Islam, 6th-16th centuries / Shelomo Dov Goitein -- The Jews under Islam, c. 1500-today / Amnon Cohen -- Jewish philosophy / Arthur Hyman -- Jewish mysticism / R.J. Zwi Werblowsky -- The Jews and the Enlightenment / S. Ettinger -- Jewish literature : fiction / Ezra Spicehandler -- Jewish literature : poetry / T. Carmi -- European Jewry in the 19th and 20th centuries / Lionel Kochan -- American Jewry / Oscar Handlin -- Judaism and modernity / Arthur Hertzberg -- Zionism and Israel / David Vital."Leading authorities survey Jewish history from its beginnings down to the 20th century: the earliest days before the Exile; the Jewish polity in its encounters with the Great Powers of the ancient world ; Jewish life after the destruction of the Jewish state under Christianity and Islam; the impact of the Enlightenment on Jewish thought and traditions; the Jewish experience in 19th- and 20th-century Europe; the rise and development of American Jewry; the appearance of Zionism and its culmination in the foundation of Israel. That is the 'outer' history. But there is another, 'inner' history without which the first is meaningless. Equal space in this volume is therefore devoted to the Bible, the Talmud, to Jewish philosophy and mysticism, to imaginative literature--both poetry and fiction-- in Hebrew, and to the challenge of modernity and the way in which Judaism as a system of thought and belief has tried to cope with it"--Jacket.

Lost Nashville / by Goetsch, Elizabeth K.(CARDINAL)793436;
Fort Nashborough -- Public Square -- Market House -- Nashville wharves -- Publishing houses -- University of Nashville -- Nashville Female Academy -- Carnegie libraries -- Vine Street Synagogue -- Fort Negley -- Horse-railroads and streetcars -- Maxwell House Hotel -- Cherry Street -- Theatres -- Stadiums -- Gerst Brewery.Nashville is chock- full of music landmarks, but there are quite a few historic structures that have been lost to time. The elegant Maxwell House Hotel served a breakfast blend that grew into the nationally known coffee brand. Public transportation first arrived in Nashville by way of horse-pulled streetcars in the 1860s. Fort Negley was the largest stone fort built during the Civil War. The Nashville Female Academy once served as the largest school for young ladies in the United States during the nineteenth century. Author Elizabeth Goetsch digs into the archives for some of the Music City's lost structures.
