Israel in the World: Changing Lives Through Innovation includes a foreword by media mogul Rupert Murdoch and looks beyond the Mid-East conflict, focusing instead on Israel’s achievements in the areas of science, medicine, agriculture and outreach.
Despite being a young country of some 56 years, and around the size of Tasmania, Israeli inventions and innovations can be found in most corners of the globe. The book catalogues over 70 significant Israeli innovations accompanied by colorful images on every page. Each case study also introduces the reader to the people who made such progress possible, describes how the invention came about and how it is being used around the world today. Some of the Israeli innovations canvassed in the book include · SMS and voice mail messages; · anti-virus software; · Pentium processing chips; · voice-sensitive technology that reveals, over the telephone, whether or not someone is telling the truth; · flash technology that allows huge amounts of computer data to be stored on a key chain; · a miniature, disposable video camera that can be fitted into a capsule and swallowed, giving doctors thousands of images of a person's intestines; and · an ICQ chat facility software used by millions of internet surfers every day, all of which were first developed in Israel. If you have an entrepreneurial streak, you will enjoy this book, already in its third print run.
