505 0  The enigma and the solution -- The eighteenth and 
       nineteenth centuries -- The bottom line: avoiding the same
       old same old. 
520    From the time of the destruction of the Temple in 
       Jerusalem to 500 CE, the world's Jewish population had 
       shrunk from 4.5 million to 1.1 million; then the Jewish 
       population increased at more than five times the global 
       growth rate. Are the numbers real? How did that happen? 
       The author provides statistics and charts documenting what
       happened. In style, the book is both a mystery story and 
       an expose. It is written in a light and accessible manner 
       in which its startling revelations are well documented and
       substantiated. Because its content is in opposition to 
       some commonly held beliefs, the book provides a good basis
       for discussion and debate. Much of the information 
       contained in the book is presented from a fresh 
       perspective which opens up formerly unarticulated and 
       perhaps even forbidden concepts to modern exploration. In 
       its final chapters the book makes a strong case for a 
       major change in the Jewish community. The book will be of 
       particular interest to: - Anyone interested in the role of
       Jews in world history - Jews who are proud of their Jewish
       heritage and identity, yet feel disenfranchised and - Jews
       who are trying to find their place in the changing 
       religious world - Students of art history who are 
       interested in the disproportionate impact of Jews on the 
       arts.
