Book excerpt: The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) organized a highly successful Bethlehem 2000 International Conference, which convened from 18 to 19 February 1999 at the Food and Agriculture Organizations (FAO) headquarters in Rome. With Bethlehem at the center of millennial celebrations, the Palestinian people were proud and honored to be hosting such a historic occasion that, it is hoped, would reflect and promote a vision of peace, reconciliation and goodwill for all humankind. However, following the long years of occupation and extensive damage to the economic and social infrastructure of Palestinian towns and cities, including Bethlehem, the Palestinian people were unable to meet the demands necessitated by such an enormous undertaking alone. The Bethlehem 2000 Project, inaugurated by the Palestinian Authority in March 1997, serves as the main vehicle for pursuing the rehabilitation and development of the city of Bethlehem in anticipation of the 2 million pilgrims and tourists expected to visit the city throughout the commemorations.

Download or read book Documents on the Arab Israeli Conflict written by M Cherif Bassiouni and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 1259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive compilation of some 595 documents on the Arab-Israeli conflict and a variety of related issues includes all the materials the researcher, analyst, and student of this conflict and region needs in a single text, from the years 1897 to 2003. Documents are listed in chronological order because many documents refer to more than one subject. They are, however, identified in the introduction according to subject matter. When different aspects recurred in a number of UN resolutions, only the main document is included, while others are referred to. The compilation is not only about Palestinian issues. It includes all relevant documents between Arab states and Israel, from the armistice agreements (1949), to the peace treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994), as well as their protocols and other documents that derive from these treaties. The subject-matter content is as varied as the legal and political issues presented by this conflict. It includes geographical boundaries, refugees, water rights, regional security, elimination of weapons of mass destruction, and, of course, human rights and peace. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint. The print edition is available as a set of two volumes (9781571052902).
Download or read book Encyclopedia of New Year s Holidays Worldwide written by William D. Crump and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the world's myriad cultures and their associated calendars, the idea of a "New Year" is relative and hardly specifies a universal celebration or even a universal point in time. Ways of celebrating the New Year range from the observances of religious rituals and superstitions to social gatherings featuring particular foods, music, dancing, noisemaking, fireworks and drinking. This first encyclopedia devoted exclusively to the New Year includes 320 entries that give a global perspective on the New Year, beyond its traditional Western associations with Christmas. National or regional entries detail the principal traditions and customs of 130 countries, while 27 entries discuss major calendar systems in current use or of significant historical interest. The remaining entries cover a wide variety of subjects including literary works, movies, and television specials; the customs of specific ethnic groups; universal customs such as toasting and drinking; football bowl games and parades; and the New Year celebrations at the White House and the Vatican.
Download or read book Reinventing Jerusalem written by Simone Ricca and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-05-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish quarter of Jerusalem today seems like an organic fusion of a modern Israeli city with an ancient Jewish heritage. However, as Simone Ricca details in this fascinating book, the aesthetics of the Jewish Quarter were deliberately planned and executed by Israel after it was occupied during the 1967 war. Secular-nationalist as well as religious politicians agreed that it should be turned in to the capital of the Jewish nation, and that it should be excavated and developed in such a way as to create a sense of continuity with the Jewish people's historical claims to the land. Zionist ideology was thus translated in to bricks and mortar as modern civic amenities were constructed around historic sites, such as the Wailing Wall and the Hurva Synagogue. Ricca examines the politics of heritage conservation, and shows that the Old City's reconstruction did not so much preserve the past as inscribe an identity on to the future.

Download or read book Passive Micro Optical Alignment Methods written by Robert A. Boudreau and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most expensive phase in the manufacture of micro-optical components and fiber optics is also one of the most performance-critical: optical alignment of the components. The increasing degree of miniaturization makes this an especially challenging task. Active alignment methods result in higher costs and awkward processes, and for some applications, they simply are not possible. Passive Micro-Optical Alignment Methods introduces the passive alignment methods that are currently available and illustrates them with many examples, references, and critiques. The first book dedicated to passive alignment, it begins with an overview of the current activities, requirements, and general results of passive optical alignments, followed by three sections of in-depth analysis. The first of these discusses mechanical passive alignment, highlighting silicon waferboard, solder, and "Jitney" technologies as well as application of mechanical alignment to 3D free-space interconnects. The next section describes the various visual alignment techniques applied to Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLCs) and low-cost plastic and surface mount packaging. The final section details various utilities that aid passive alignment and their resulting tradeoffs and demonstrates Monte Carlo analysis to evaluate the potential of a given method. Passive Micro-Optical Alignment Methods provides the tools necessary to meet the challenge of precision and low-cost alignment for applications that require micron or sub-micron tolerance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content of the autobiography of Adnan A. Musallam, PhD, transcends his birth and upbringing in a Christian Palestinian Arab family in Bethlehem, the Holy Land, and his traumatic childhood and goes beyond that into another very different culture in America at an early age, where he lived as an exchange student with five Rotary families while attending Wabash High School in Wabash, Indiana, from 1962 to 1963. It was a continuous adjustment as he was moving from one very kind family to another. The high school diploma he got in June 1963 paved the way for his BA (1967), MA (1970), at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana and Ph.D. (1983) at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor Michigan. But the ups and downs of life in Indiana and Michigan led to a divorce and led him to enlist in the United States Navy in January 1975. At the end of active duty in May 1977, he was awarded a United States Navy Achievement Medal; and he was enrolled in the doctoral program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Eventually, he joined the teaching staff at Bethlehem University in the Holy Land beginning in September 1981, and he taught history at the Tour Guide Program at Bethlehem Bible College. Adnan is married to Salwa Sayeh, who both have five daughters and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Appendix A and appendix B revolve around Adnan's stay in Wabash, while appendix C focuses on his membership in the Delta Chi fraternity at Indiana University, and appendix D deals with Adnan's career and thought. It is clear from the content of Adnan's autobiography that his life and thought are closely intertwined with the Palestinian Israeli conflict, 1948-present. 44
Download or read book The Politics and Power of Tourism in Palestine written by Rami K. Isaac and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism in Palestine has been receiving an increasingly important profile given its economic and religious importance and the significant role it plays in Israeli-Palestinian relations, representation of Palestinian statehood and identity, and wider Middle Eastern politics. Nevertheless, Palestine, like much of the Middle East as a whole, remains extremely underrepresented in tourism literature. This title aims to fill this void by being the first book dedicated to exploring the significance of tourism in relationship to Palestine. The book examines the role of tourism in Palestine at three main levels. First, it provides an overview of destination management and marketing issues for the tourism industry in Palestine and addresses not only the visitor markets and the economic significance of tourism but also the realities of the difficulties of destination management, marketing and promotion of the Palestinian state. Second, it provides a series chapters and case studies that interrogate not only the various forms of tourism in Palestine but also its economic, social, environmental and spiritual importance. This section also conveys a dimension to tourism in Palestine that is not usually appreciated in the Western mainstream media. The third section indicates the way in which tourism in Palestine highlights broader questions and debates in tourism studies and the way in which travel in the region is framed in wider discourses. A significant dimension of the book is the attention it gives to the different voices of stakeholders in Palestinian tourism at varying levels of scale. This timely volume will offer the reader significant insight into the challenges and issues of tourism in this area now and in the future. It will benefit those interested in tourism, Middle East studies, politics, economics, development studies and geography.
