AURDIP Association of Academics for the Respect of International Law in Palestine
AURDIP Association of Academics for the Respect of International Law in Palestine Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel 3 Kaplan St. Hakirya Jerusalem 91950, Israel [email protected] Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu: We are writing to urge you to order the immediate release of Dr. Imad Ahmad Barghouthi from Israeli military custody. Dr. Barghouthi, a Palestinian resident of the West Bank, is an astrophysicist and professor of physics at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem. He was reportedly arrested by Israeli soldiers at the military checkpoint at Nabi Saleh in the West Bank, northwest of Ramallah on 24 April 2016. The Times of Israel reported that "neither the IDF nor Israel Police would comment on the matter, and it remains unclear which branch of the Israeli security forces was responsible for his arrest." The Palestine Information Center reported that on 2 May 2016, "An Israeli court ... issued an administrative detention order against Professor Barghouthi”i. Professor Barghouthi is being held without chargeii, a serious violation of human rights. As described in the journal Nature, Professor Barghouthi was previously arrested without charge by Israeli Border Police on 6 December 2014 when he attempted to cross the border from the West Bank to Jordan to board a flight to the United Arab Emirates so that he could attend a meeting of the Arab Union of Astronomy and Space Sciences, an organization he helped to found.iii Professor Barghouthi's attorney at that time, Jawad Boulos, alleged that Dr. Barghouthi was arrested because of his statements in support of Palestinian activities during Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip the previous summer, and that during interrogations Dr. -

Facts & Statistics About the Project
1 Hubble’s 15th Anniversary – Facts about the ESA project Introduction 24 April 2005 marked the 15th anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. As an observatory in space, Hubble is a major project that has made an enormous impact both in terms of scientific output and in its immediate public appeal. Hubble has exploited its unique scientific capabilities in regions where no other instruments can compete. The telescope consistently delivers super-sharp images and clean, uncontaminated spectra over the entire near-infrared to ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has opened up new scientific territory and has resulted in many paradigm-breaking discoveries. Exquisite quality images have enabled astronomers to gain entirely new insights into the workings of a huge range of different astronomical objects. Hubble has provided a visual overview of the underlying astrophysical processes taking place in these objects, ranging from planets in our Solar System to galaxies in the young Universe. The renowned British astronomer Malcolm Longair writes in the preface to ESA’s anniversary book: ”The Hubble Space Telescope has undoubtedly had a greater public impact than any other space astronomy mission ever. The images included in this beautiful volume are quite staggering in the detail they reveal about the Universe we live in and have already become part of our common scientific and cultural heritage.” The project Many people agree that the long-term well-being and cultural development of European citizens depends on research and technological development. Information about science and scientists is a vital component of the scientific process, but the competition for attention in today’s mass-media market is fierce. -

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
ILL INOI S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books T H E UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO * GADI)UATE LIBRARY SCHOOL Volume XVI December, 1962 Number 4 New Titles for Children and Young People R Alderman, Clifford Lindsey. Samuel Adams, Son of Liberty. Holt, 1961. 7-10 19 9p. $3.50. An excellent biography and a very good account of the events leading up to the Amer- ican Revolution; the years of the war itself and the remaining years of Adams' life are outlined rather briefly at the close of the book. The writing style is good, but the chief asset of the book is the candid appraisal of men and their motives. It is rare, for example, to read in a book for young people that (without denigrating his other and more patriotic motives) John Hancock was making a profit from sales of contraband Dutch tea, and therefore was indignant at the customs duty on English tea. An exten- sive bibliography and an index are appended. Ad Allan, Mabel Esther. Romance in Italy. Vanguard, 1962. 192p. $3. 7-9 Jane has always longed to travel, and she is overjoyed at the offer of a travel agency job in Genoa, particularly since her mother was born there. Cast off by her father be- cause she had married an Englishman, Jane's mother extracts a promise that her daughter will never divulge the relationship. In Genoa, Jane becomes involved with her relations and falls in love with Andrea, an adopted son of the family; when her grandfather dies, matters come to a head: her mother comes to Genoa in response to a letter of confession, and Jane and Andrea decide they will marry in another year. -
