Sinopsis

Prague's magnificent synagogues and Old Jewish Cemetery attract millions of visitors each year, and travelers who venture beyond the capital find physical evidence of once vibrant Jewish communities in towns and villages throughout today's Czech Republic. For those seeking to learn more about the people who once lived and died at those sites, however, there has until now been no comprehensive account in English of the region's Jews.
Prague and Beyond presents a new and accessible history of the Jews of the Bohemian Lands written by an international team of scholars. It offers a multifaceted account of the Jewish people in a region that has been, over the centuries, a part of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy, was constituted as the democratic Czechoslovakia in the years following the First World War, became the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and later a postwar Communist state, and is today's Czech Republic. This ever-changing landscape provides the backdrop for a historical reinterpretation that emphasizes the rootedness of Jews in the Bohemian Lands, the intricate variety of their social, economic, and cultural relationships, their negotiations with state power, the connections that existed among Jewish communities, and the close, if often conflictual, ties between Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors.
Prague and Beyond is written in a narrative style with a focus on several unifying themes across the periods. These include migration and mobility; the shape of social networks; religious life and education; civic rights, citizenship, and Jewish autonomy; gender and the family; popular culture; and memory and commemorative practices. Collectively these perspectives work to revise conventional understandings of Central Europe's Jewish past and present, and more fully capture the diversity and multivalence of life in the Bohemian Lands.

De la contraportada

"It's been said: 'Design for the experiment, don't experiment for the design.' This book ably demonstrates this notion by showing how tailor-made, optimal designs can be effectively employed to meet a client's actual needs. It should be required reading for anyone interested in using the design of experiments in industrial settings."
--Christopher J. Nachtsheim, Frank A Donaldson Chair in Operations Management, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota

"This is an engaging and informative book on the modern practice of experimental design. The authors' writing style is entertaining, the consulting dialogs are extremely enjoyable, and the technical material is presented brilliantly but not overwhelmingly. The book is a joy to read. Everyone who practices or teaches DOE should read this book."
--Douglas C. Montgomery, Regents Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering, Arizona State University

"This book is the compelling story of two consultants in dialog as they show their clients how to leave the roads of textbook experimental design and fly the direct route of optimal design as enabled by computer-based methods."
--John Sall, Executive Vice President and Cofounder, SAS Institute

"This book puts cutting-edge optimal design of experiments techniques into the hands of the practitioner. Ten real-world design scenarios, which Goos and Jones present as consulting session conversations with clients, easily engage and absorb the reader. A behind-the-scenes look at various technical treasures accompanies each scenario."
--Marie Gaudard, Professor Emeritus, University of New Hampshire

"Each chapter begins with a realistic experimental situation being informally discussed on site by local engineers and statistical consultants. Next an optimal experimental design is constructed and the data with full detailed analysis provided. Statisticians and para-statisticians alike should enjoy this book. Clearly a new day is dawning in the art and practice of experimental design."
--J. Stuart Hunter, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University
