With this issue we welcome Professor Virginia Tilley as a Participating Author with Fiatlux. Her brief biography is in the Participating Authors section.

Professor Tilley’s recent book, The One-State Solution: A Breakthrough for Peace in the Israeli-Palestine Deadlock (U. Mich. Press, 2005) may be purchased from the University of Michigan Press or from your bookseller. The book has received considerable interest as an exceptionally well-reasoned presentation and a path to possible solution of the Israeli-Palestine crisis. Shed your biases, keep an open mind and you will have an interesting and challenging read.

Don’t Miss the excellent series of maps on Sam Bahour’s page in the Participating Authors Section, May 8 entry. On same page, Sam gives us a link to a new website put on by American and Palestinian young people (10 th grade). Well worth reading and passing on to friends and school administrations.
