Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Judaism explained from the ground up, with no prior knowledge assumed. This introduction covers the beliefs, texts, laws, holidays, and history that shape Jewish life, in language a first-time reader can follow. Nine chapters build on each other, starting with what the word actually covers and ending with what identity looks like around the world today. Every Hebrew term is defined the first time it appears, so you never have to stop and look something up, and you can also read the chapters out of order and treat the book as a reference when a specific question comes up. The chapters walk through: - Monotheism, the covenant, and the question of who counts as a Jew, plus how Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist communities came to practice so differently from one another - The Tanakh in its three parts, then the Mishnah, the Talmud, Midrash, and the legal codes still consulted today, including the Mishneh Torah and the Shulchan Aruch - Free will, suffering, and messianic expectation - Abraham through the Babylonian exile, by way of Sinai, the monarchy under Saul, David, and Solomon, and the split into two kingdoms - The 613 commandments, kashrut, Shabbat, the structure of prayer, and the ceremonies marking birth, coming of age, marriage, and death - Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Passover, Hanukkah, Purim, and why the dates move each year - The Second Temple period, life under Islamic and Christian rule, and the medieval Spanish community that flourished and was then expelled - Kabbalah, Hasidism, the Haskalah, Zionism, the Holocaust, and diaspora life now Four features at the back support review and further study: - Questions after every chapter, with sample answers to check yourself against - A historical timeline placing major events in order - A glossary of Hebrew and Aramaic terms gathered in one place - Works cited and recommended readings for going further Written for students taking a world religions course, adult readers with Jewish friends, coworkers, or in-laws, and anyone who wants to follow a conversation about belief and practice without feeling lost. Jews who grew up around these traditions but were never formally taught them will find plain explanations here too. The book describes rather than argues. It also sorts out what people commonly get wrong, from the assumption that everyone keeps kosher to the idea that the tradition has sat unchanged since antiquity. Where scholars and movements see things differently, it says so instead of offering one tidy answer. Read it straight through, or open it to chapter 7 the week before a Passover meal. Once you reach the end, you will know the difference between the Torah and the Talmud, why one synagogue sounds nothing like another, and how an ancient agreement recorded on hand-copied scrolls became a living tradition that millions of people practice today in very different ways.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Etymology explains why muscle comes from the Latin word for little mouse, why salary traces back to salt, and why disaster breaks down into bad star. This guide teaches you to read that buried history in the words you already use every day. The book follows English backward through time, starting with the written record and ending at a grassland language nobody ever wrote down. Every claim comes attached to a real example you can look up and check for yourself, and the writing is just as clear about the points where the evidence runs out. Nine chapters trace the sources of English: - What etymology actually is, how it differs from a dictionary definition, and how researchers date a word using old manuscripts and large collections of text - Proto-Indo-European, the unwritten ancestor shared by English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, Greek, and Persian, rebuilt by comparing the words its descendants still hold in common, plus Grimm's Law and the sound shift that turned Latin pater into father - Latin in law, science, and the church, along with the prefixes and suffixes that let you decode unfamiliar terms on sight, and the Greek layer underneath most of the vocabulary of medicine and philosophy - Greek compounding, the pattern behind photosynthesis - The Germanic core: house, water, eat, sleep, friend, the short plain words a child learns first, and the Norse borrowings that arrived with Viking settlement - 1066 and the arrival of French, which left the language with cow and beef, pig and pork, and a class divide you can still hear in any sentence you write - Borrowings that came through trade and empire from Arabic, Sanskrit, Nahuatl, West African, and East Asian languages - Broadening, narrowing, amelioration, and pejoration, the four patterns behind why awful once meant full of awe, and how new terms get made now by technology, brand names, and internet slang No background in linguistics is required, and no second language either. Everything is explained in plain terms. This one is built for: - Students and self-taught learners growing their vocabulary - Writers, editors, and teachers who work with words daily - Trivia players, crossword regulars, and dictionary readers - Anyone who has stopped mid-sentence to wonder where a word came from Each chapter closes with a discussion question, and worked answers to all nine sit in the back, next to a timeline that starts on the Pontic-Caspian steppe and ends in the present, a glossary of terms, and a reading list of the standard sources. Learn a few hundred roots and affixes and thousands of words you've never met become readable on sight. That's the same method medical students and lawyers rely on, and it's available to anyone willing to learn the pieces. You also come away harder to trick, because many acronym origins aren't genuine and a too-neat story is almost always invented. Read this and ordinary language stops being background noise. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
