Hanover NH: Brandeis University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. 0874516099 . A bright, solid book dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Brandeis Series In American Jewish History, Culture, And Life; B&W Photographs; 9.3 X 6.0 X 1.3 inches; 341 pages; "Jews seeking a new life in Canada faced problems beyond those of other immigrants. Farm colonists often lived in communities too small to afford a rabbi or ritual slaughterer, or even to form a minyan for worship. In French Canada, Protestant and Catholic school boards battled over who was responsible for educating Jewish children. In the cities, the socialist philosophies of Jews fleeing the poverty and oppression of Europe were anathema to aggressive New World capitalists. And when suspicion or resentment arose, there was always someone to revive the old antisemitic slurs and myths.Taking Root is the meticulously researched record of how Canadian Jewry coped with these obstacles, and flourished despite them. The book covers the 160 years from the beginnings of the community in the 1760s to the end of the First World War, including the great European upheavals that forever changed the lives of the Jews of Eastern Europe and their migration to Canada.Canada's Jews took root in a nation with a distinctive history, political structure, and cultural diversity Gerald Tulchinsky weaves the threads of Canadian Jewish history into the wider Canadian fabric, and shows how the unique character of this history reflects the political, economic, and social development of the countryDrawing on letters, synagogue records, diaries, newspapers, and biographies, as well as a host of archival sources, Tulchinsky makes Taking Root not just a historical account, but a very personal one." ., Brandeis University Press, 1993, Usa: The Viking Press, 1983.

An exceptional migration took place over fifty years ago, with scientists, artists, filmmakers, poets, historians, novelists, and philosophers driven into exile by Hitler and destined to change the tone of American culture. Heilbut tells of the mixed welcome and of their moral dilemmas in the face of the bombings of Hiroshima and the anit-communist hysteria of the Mcarthy era. This history is recounted in terms of the emigres personal stories--Hannah Arendt, Lotte Lenya, Albert Einstein, Hans Hofmann, Peter Drucker, Billy Wilder--to name a few. xiv, 506 pages including Epilogue, Notes, and Index. 9.75 x 6.5 inches.

At 13 years of age Bobby Fischer was the youngest chess master in US history, but the brilliant boy with the genius IQ would spend his adult life struggling with paranoia and mental illness. When he passed away in January 2008, he left behind a confounding legacy. What motivated him from such a young age, and what was the source of his remarkable intellect? What drew this man of Jewish descent to fulminate against Jews, and how was it that a mind so famously disciplined could unravel so completely? Acclaimed biographer Frank Brady first met Fischer when the prodigy was just 10 years old, and shared with him some of his most dramatic triumphs. In this account, decades in the making, Brady traces the meteoric ascent - and confounding descent - of this enigmatic genius, drawing on first-hand interviews with those who knew Fischer best as well as hundreds of newly discovered documents and recordings from the Fischer family archives, recently released FBI files, and Bobby's own emails. Endgame tells, for the very first time, the definitive story of Bobby Fischer - a figure as exotic and improbable as any American pop culture has yet produced. Quantity Available: 1.
