In this book, authors Marvin Perry and Frederick Schweitzer analyse the lies, misperceptions, and myths that have been spread throughout the centuries in regard to the Jewish people and the Jewish religion. Beginning with the time of antiquity and continuing into the present day, the authors explore the sometimes gruesome fabrications that have led to and have been used as justifications for numerous acts of violence and hatred against Jews. The chapters examine such issues as the notion of Jews as murderers of Christ and as instruments of Satan, the scapegoating of Jews in the modern world as both evil capitalists and evil communists, the fearsomely widespread belief that the Holocaust never happened, and the anti-Semitic commentaries of the Nation of Islam.

Public and situated display technologies can have an important impact on individual and social behaviour and present us with particular interesting new design considerations and challenges. While there is a growing body of research exploring these design considerations and social impact this work remains somewhat disparate, making it difficult to assimilate in a coherent manner. This book brings together the perspectives of key researchers in the area of public and situated display technology. The chapters detail research representing the social, technical and interactional aspects of public and situated display technologies. The underlying concern common to these chapters is how these displays can be best designed for collaboration, coordination, community building and mobility. Presenting them together allows the reader to examine everyday display activities within the context of emerging technological possibilities.This book is intended as a foundational text for researchers and practitioners in the areas of CSCW, Ubiquitous Computing and HCI as well as a useful reference for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on HCI, psychology, information systems and computer science courses.
