The purpose of this book is to offer detailed and accessible information on the gazelle species in Israel to nature lovers and hikers. The book summarizes the large amount of information that was accumulated by many researchers (Israeli and foreign) from the 19 century up to this day.

This book is intended for a varied audience - undergraduates in the exact, natural sciences as well as those interested in basic Quantum mechanics. In addition, certain chapters are intended for graduate students who may wish to incorporate the material presented in this book into their research. Together, the volumes contain in access of a hundred solved problems in varying degrees of difficulty, which assist in understanding Quantum Mechanics and its applications.

In 1915 Albert Einstein started writing this booklet in an attempt to provide readers who do not necessarily possess knowledge of theoretical physics with an accurate understanding of one of the highest intellectual achievements of the human mind, the theory of the relativity. This friendly brain-challenge is written in the form of a dynamic dialogue, yet it also requires a substantial intellectual effort from the reader. In this important scientific document, the reader is taken on a journey through Einstein’s special and general relativity theories.

This book proposes a new approach to Leonardo da Vinci’s Anatomical Corpus, both in ambition and in methodology. In dialogue with the extant research of Leonardo’s achievements and failures in terms of today’s scientific knowledge, it looks for the notion of the living body that is submerged in the labyrinthine, puzzling, little-explored complexes which are Leonardo’s folios. This book reads their configurations closely, in view of his thoughts on art, language, music, metaphysics, subjectivity, manhood, erotics. It thus discovers in them a unique weave of laughter, self-irony and apprehensions concerning the very science of subjecthood in the flesh.

The fourth book in the series of Understanding Physics describes three important topics. Fluids – which include both liquids and gases – play a central role in our daily lives. We breathe and drink them, and a rather vital fluid circulates in the human cardiovascular system. The Earth's oceans and atmosphere consist of fluids. Waves – deals with many phenomena like sound waves that carry our messages from our vocal cords to the ears of our friends. Electromagnetic waves carried through optic fibers or through the atmosphere, allow communication with satellites. The book presents: oscillations and harmonic motions, mechanical waves and sound waves. Thermodynamics – heat theory development is one of humankind's most profound intellectual achievements. Understanding thermodynamic principles was fundamental for steam engines that powered the industrial revolution. The book deals with the first law of the thermodynamics, the kinetic theory of gases and the second law of thermodynamics. As in former volumes of Understanding Physics – this book contains clear explanations from basics phenomena to complicated models. It allows readers to examine their understanding by reading exercises and examples. Many figures, diagrams and photos facilitate discovery with this book and convert the experience of learning into a vivid and plausible encounter. The book is based on Fundamental of Physics by David Halliday, Robert Resnick and Jearl Walker.

The Golan Heights is the only place in Israel where many big and small volcanoes exist. It features various volcanic phenomenons, some of which were created in a long process and some in just a few hours. Since the Golan is "young" (geologically speaking), these phenomena are well preserved, almost without erosion or later cover. Furthermore, volcano eruptions are often shown on TV, so we have a chance to understand them better than other geological activities that are slower or take place in the sea or far deserts. In order to understand and be impressed by the wonderful manifestations of nature that used to be stormy and wild but today is accessible and still, we need a whole book that will tell us about everything that unites all these phenomena together and also explain each of them separately. But it is impossible to understand the Golan Volcanic phenomena without first understanding the whole volcanic procedures on planet Earth, in the depth of the ground at the bottom of oceans and in faraway galaxies. Unfortunately many people who hike in the Golan pass by many beautiful and rare sites without a clue about what they are missing. Therefore this book's purpose is to inform them about the immense variety of these wonderful phenomena with minimum effort. This is the reason why the book includes two parts: a general chapter called "An introduction to Volcanology "' and another chapter called "Volcanism in the Golan Heights". In order to enable the readers to understand the geological terms in the book, it also includes a dictionary of geological volcanological terms called " A word in the stone ", a bibliography and a list of the prominent volcanological sites in the Golan: almost all of them are near the road so they can be visited and enjoyed without risking entrance to difficult trails or old mine fields.
