A unique plant on many levels, the distinctive properties of the Jerusalem artichoke, or Helianthus tuberosus L., present novel answers to some of today's most pressing problems. The potential of Jerusalem artichoke as a source for inulin, a fructose polymer that may provide dietary health benefits for obesity, diabetes, and several other health issues and the possible use of the crop for biofuels are drawing tremendous recent interest. With its ready cultivation and minimal pest and disease problems, Jerusalem artichoke is an underutilized resource that possesses the potential to meet major health and energy challenges.A comprehensive, up-to-date reference, "Biology and Chemistry of Jerusalem Artichoke" presents the unique biological and chemical properties that distinguish it from other crops. Citing a diverse cross-section of references, it reviews the history, classification, morphology, and anatomy of the plant. It details inulin chemistry addressing properties and structure, extraction, and modification using microbes, enzymes, and a wide range of chemical processes.The book examines the use of Jerusalem artichokes as a biofuel and the role of inulin derived from the crop in combating obesity and diabetes, as well as promoting bone, blood, bowel, and immune health. In this book, a comprehensive chapter addresses genetic resources, breeding, breeding methods, hybridization, and the heritability of important traits. The book details developmental biology in terms of maximizing yield and determining resource allocation as well as controlling pests and disease. It concludes with practical information on agronomic methods, storage, the economics of crop production, and future prospects for utilization. Gathering a wealth of information into a single volume and drawing on the authors' 25 years of research, "Biology and Chemistry of Jerusalem Artichoke" provides the most comprehensive resource to date on this extremely useful crop.

This volume brings to life the ancient drama of the world's holiest city on the eve of a new millenium. Some 3000 years ago King David captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites and made the city his capital. There Solomon built the Temple and the Jewish people found their spiritual centre. From its glory under the House of David to its emergence 1000 years later as the birthplace of Christianity, from its destruction by the Romans to its conquest by the forces of Islam and its Crusader and Ottoman periods, Jerusalem has been endlessly revered and warred over, celebrated and desecrated. Mining the evidence of this history, the authors gathered here conjure the Holy City as it has appeared in antique Hebrew texts; in the testimony of Jewish and Christian pilgrims and in art; in mediaeval Islamic literature and in Western 19th-century accounts; in maps and mosaics and architecture through the ages. Here is Jerusalem with the sun rising over the Mount of Olives to touch the crown of the Dome of the Rock and warm the walls of the Old City, with its foundations from the days of the Hasmoneans and Herod the Great, its seven gates and Jewish, Christian, Armenian, and Muslim quarters marked out by the Roman "decumanus" and the Byzantine "cardo". Above the Rambam Synagogue, established by Machmanides in 1267, looms the minaret of the 15th-century Sidi Umar Mosque. Remnants of the Nea Church erected by Justinian in 543 and of the Ayyubid tower from the 13th century stand within the Garden of Redemption, a memorial to the six million Jews exterminated by the Nazis. Amid these marvels of geography and architecture, the authors evoke Jerusalem's spiritual history, the events and legends that have made the city the touching point between the divine and the earthly for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. They trace Jerusalem's fortunes as the City of David, as the site of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, as the "Furthest Shrine" from which the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven. Writing from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, the authors impart an immediacy to their depiction of the city in all its historic and religious complexity. An Armenian Jerusalemite once wrote that in the Holy City each person carries a mirror, but each holds it in only one direction. This book brings all these reflections together to create a living picture of Jerusalem not only in history but also in the those who call it home and those who revere it as a Holy City.

Jerusalem's history from biblical times to the late 1990s, under Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious rule is described in this text. It examines Jerusalem's significance as a goal of pilgrimage, the sacred centre of the world and as a symbol of eschatological fullness. The goal of the book is to search out the commonalities and differences of the three faiths for the purpose of mutual understanding and coexistence.

On September 28, 2000, Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, igniting what has come to be known as the second intifada. But why would a visit to a religious site set off such a string of violent responses that continue to this day? The answer lies in the history of the Temple of Jerusalem, which once, indeed twice, stood in the spot known today as the Temple Mount (to Jews) and the Haram ash-Sharif (to Muslims). A holy place to three of the world's main religions - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - the Temple of Jerusalem is arguably the most famous sacred structure in world history, and figures prominently in Apocalyptic writings. Yet it is almost entirely absent, in all its phases, from the archaeological record, as the sacredness of the place prohibits any excavation.As war and terrorism continue to rage over the Holy Land, the Temple of Jerusalem looms in the background both as a symbol of past glory, a place of religious worship, and a site to be contended over and coveted. This book offers a general history of the meaning, importance, and significance of the Temple of Jerusalem, both in the religious and the political arena. It begins with the original construction of the Temple, its destruction in 587 B.C.E., its reconstruction in 516 B.C.E., the vast enlargement during the time of King Herod, around 20 B.C.E., its final destruction in 70 C.E., and its subsequent afterlife as the leading influence in the construction of Jewish synagogues, Christian cathedrals, and Islamic mosques.But the Temple has also been at the centre of much political and religious controversy, and the author explores the issues and conflicts that have erupted over this sacred place, considers the meaning and importance of the Temple to Christianity, Judaism and Islam, from ancient times to the present, and concludes with a careful consideration of the continuing religious and political tensions.
