Jon Entine, Abraham’s Children: Race, Identity and the DNA of the Chosen People Bestselling scientific journalist Jon Entine examines the profound implications of the genetic answer to the question, "Who is a Jew?" Could our identity really turn on a sliver of DNA? Can heredity explain the disproportionate impact of Jews on Western culture? Exploring riveting stories of individuals reconnecting with their Israelite roots, Abraham's Children also addresses connections between DNA and <strong>Jewish</strong> intelligence - and the notion that Jews are a "race apart.” Book Signing Follows – Free Admission Jon Entine EVENING AUTHOR LECTURE 7:30 P.M. ...............Dennis Ross, Statecraft: And How to Restore America’s Standing in the World Renowned peace negotiator Dennis Ross makes the seemingly dreary processes of international diplomacy as coherent, absorbing and dramatic as a procedural thriller. Using case studies (from German reunification to the Iraq war) to illustrate statecraft in practice, Ross explains how the world works and why U.S. foreign policy doesn’t. Then, in a refreshing prescription for future American leadership, he details diplomatic proposals for everything from conflicts in the Middle East to relations with China. Ross’ insights on the need for statecraft in order to keep the peace in our globalized world demonstrate that he is a virtuoso statesman himself.

Oren, Power, Faith and Fantasy: America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present Spellbinding storyteller Michael Oren returns to our Book Fair to regale us with tales from the history of American involvement in the Middle East - from the Founding Fathers to the present day. Drawing on classified government documents, and memoirs and correspondence from merchants, missionaries and travelers, Oren follows three critical threads – political and cultural power, “irrepressible” faith, and literary fantasy - to explore how Americans have impacted the region while becoming unalterably changed in the process.

Foxman, The Deadliest Lies: The Israel Lobby and the Myth of <strong>Jewish</strong> Control Anti-Defamation League (ADL) national director and a voice against hatred, discrimination, and violence worldwide, Foxman demolishes a number of shibboleths and rebuts the pernicious theory of a mythically powerful Israel lobby. He provides a highly readable indictment of well-known politicians, pundits, and professors who dress up centuries-old canards about Jews in more acceptable twenty-first century garb and presents useful criteria for how to shape an open, civil, and far-reaching debate on our policy toward the Middle East.
