September 20, 2024

These two volumes are the latest editions in the author’s “anatomy” series, designed to explore how the activities of humankind have evolved and provide insight into the puzzle of human behavior. Anatomy of Antisemitism takes readers through the journeys of the Jewish people and the hardships they’ve faced. As one reviewer comments, “An eye-opening view of antisemitism written in a conversational tone. We read a chapter during our Passover Seder which will become a new tradition.” Anatomy of Addiction focuses on the history and current treatment of many forms of addiction, mainly concentrating on drug addiction, but also delving into such addictive tendencies such as sex and gambling.
