BOOKSHELF: SPOTLIGHT ON<br />
THE COMPELLING HISTORY AND FUTURE OF HUMANKIND<br />
Prof. Yuval Noah Harari is a renowned historian and<br />
international bestselling author. He began his studies<br />
at the Hebrew University specializing in medieval<br />
history and military history and is now a lecturer in the<br />
University’s History Department.<br />
Prof. Harari’s current research focuses on macrohistorical<br />
questions: What is the relation between history<br />
and biology? What is the essential difference between<br />
homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in<br />
history? Does history have a direction? Do people become<br />
happier as history unfolds?<br />
Prof. Harari twice won the Polonsky Prize for Creativity<br />
and Originality, in 2009 and 2012. In 2012, he was elected<br />
to the Young Israeli Academy of Sciences. His books<br />
have received international acclaim, are New York Times<br />
bestsellers, and have been top picks for President Barack<br />
Obama, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg’s reading lists.<br />
