Irvine is a handbook for use in occupational psychology, test construction and psychometrics. The book describes the development of the British Army Recruitment Battery (BARB) by Prof. Irvine and his colleagues at the University of Plymouth. BARB is a computer-administered selection battery that is still in use to this day and is capable of developing new parallel tests for every candidate in the recruitment process.

The experience of eighteenth-century Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did not fit the pattern of integration and universalization-in short, of westernization-that historians tend to place at the origins of Jewish modernity. Hundert puts this experience, that of the majority of the Jewish people, at the center of his history. He focuses on the relations of Jews with the state and their role in the economy, and on more "internal" developments such as the popularization of the Kabbalah and the rise of Hasidism. Thus he describes the elements of Jewish experience that became the basis for a "core Jewish identity"-an identity that accompanied the majority of Jews into modernity.JewsPolandHistory18th centuryJewsPolandEconomic conditions18th centuryJewsPolandSocial conditions18th centuryJewsLithuaniaHistory18th centuryJewsLithuaniaEconomic conditions18th centuryJewsLithuaniaSocial conditions18th centuryMysticismJudaismHistory18th centuryHasidismEurope, EasternHistory18th centuryPolandEthnic relationsLithuaniaEthnic relationsElectronic books.JewsHistoryJewsEconomic conditionsJewsSocial conditionsJewsHistoryJewsEconomic conditionsJewsSocial conditionsMysticismJudaismHistoryHasidismHistory943.8/004924Hundert Gershon David1946-736743MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450620903321Jews in Poland-Lithuania in the eighteenth century2472451UNINA
