This colorful volume takes an in-depth look at a remarkable achievement: how one small and very young country has successfully become one of the world's technological leaders.
From agriculture to medicine, Israel stands right at the forefront of technological development. Learn about the country's many achievements and breakthoughs, and how it's poised to remain on the industrial cutting edge in the foreseeable future. The countless accomplishments outlined here would be dazzling, even if they hadn't emerged from a nation that didn't even exist 60 years ago: Israel created the ICQ chat facility that is now used by hundreds of millions of internet surfers each day; the technology that allows you to leave voicemail messages on a mobile phone; the medical diagnostic equipment (including magnetic resonance imaging) found in most hospitals; and the surveillance equipment that alerts security officials to suspicious activities at airports. Find out about the people who made such progress possible; the educational system that allowed these citizens, many of them recent immigrants, to reach their full potential; and how Israel uses its knowledge for the well-being of the world.

Leon Uris's Exodus, one of the great best selling novels of all time, tells the story of the birth of modern Israel. Published only 10 year’s after Israel became a state, Exodus is the name of an actual ship that arrived in Haifa in 1946. The ship was full of Holocaust survivors who had escaped inhuman treatment in Europe. Many of these refugees were taken prisoner by the British, while others were sent to live in barbed- wire detention camps in Cyprus or sent back to live in former concentration camps in Nazi Germany. Exodus vividly tells the story of the miraculous survival of a people against all odds.
