The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within the red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives to Jacob, and each one embodying unique feminine traits. As she reveals these sensual and emotionally charged stories we learn of birthing miracles, slaves, artisans, household gods, and sisterhood secrets. Eventually Dinah delves into her own saga of betrayals, grief, and a call to midwifery."Like any sisters who live together and share a husband, my mother and aunties spun a sticky web of loyalties and grudges," Anita Diamant writes in the voice of Dinah. "They traded secrets like bracelets, and these were handed down to me the only surviving girl. They told me things I was too young to hear. They held my face between their hands and made me swear to remember." Remembering women's earthy stories and passionate history is indeed the theme of this magnificent book. In fact, it's been said that The Red Tent is what the Bible might have been had it been written by God's daughters, instead of her sons. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that are about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons. Told in Dinah's voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood-the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers-Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah-the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through a hard-working youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past. Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable achievement in modern fiction: a new view of biblical women's society.Customer Reviews:

Book Description
The story of Dinah receives little more than a mention in the Bible, as it gives rise to a bloody massacre. Not so with Anita Diamant's The Red Tent (St. Martin's Press, 1997). Diamant weaves ancient history and culture with narrative fiction to draw a picture of what life might have been like for the women in Jacob's life. With skill and passion, Sandra Hack Polaski unravels the complexities of the biblical stories of Leah, Rachel, Zil'pah, Bil'hah, and Leah's daughter Dinah, probing aspects of The Red Tent that give us insight into the text and into the lives of women in the ancient Near East.Customer Reviews:

Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit With CDROM (Beta Version)

Amazon.com
This package is remarkable, not just for being a huge resource kit, but because it includes a full working copy of the Windows 98 Beta 3 operating system (OS). This marks the first time that Microsoft has ever bundled a beta OS with a book. If you're not already part of the Windows 98 beta test, it's probably your only shot at testing Windows 98 and its supporting applications and tools before it is released. The bundle includes a free technical support program that covers the important areas of boot failure, data loss, and critical application failure (this program is available to U.S. and Canadian customers only).Microsoft is primarily targeting the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit, Beta Release at administrators who want to evaluate Windows 98 in a corporate environment. But the beta has remarkably few rough edges and anyone interested in Windows 98 should be able to install it successfully.
The CD-ROM contains the full beta version of Windows 98 Beta 3, including Internet Explorer 4.0, the Outlook Express mail client, FrontPage Express, the Microsoft Personal Web Server, and a clutch of administration tools. The installation features are complete and all major features of the operating system (including network protocols and device drivers) appear to be in place. More importantly, bugs seem to be at a minimum and the code is clearly in good shape for testing by real end users. The beta can be installed on a newly formatted drive or as an upgrade over an existing Windows 95 installation.
The administration tools include the Windows 98 System Policy Editor, Registry tools, installation scripting, and the Power Toys. For end users, the disk also contains an online User's Guide and three Discover Windows 98 automated tours. The beta will not operate beyond December 31, 1998, at which point Windows 98 will presumably have shipped.
The printed volume is primarily intended to help system administrators support Windows. Almost 1,800 pages in bulk, it covers deployment and installation, system configuration, networking, Internet communications, and the Windows 98 architecture in even more detail than past resource kits.
Book Description
This is the authoritative technical guide required by system administrators and other MIS professionals responsible for the care and feeding of Microsoft Windows 98 within their organizations. In fact, this nearly 1800 page reference-along with tools, utilities, and accessory software on CD-ROM-is the most complete source of professional-level information on Microsoft Windows 98 available anywhere. To harness all the possibilities of Windows 98, professionals worldwide will turn to the MICROSOFT WINDOWS 98 RESOURCE KIT. That should make it as enormously successful in the market as the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit is right now.Customer Reviews:
