You can save the PDF files to your computer and then read from your computer and enjoy the photographs.
  You need an Acrobat Reader (version 5 or more) or Adobe Reader or GSVIEW to read PDF files.
If you only have the popular old Acrobat Reader 4, you still can TRY the following:
Try to read PDF pages as following:
To see page 2 of the year 2008 please type in the address line of your browser:
http://www.haviva.org/page0802.pdf
and press enter, or
copy it from here by painting the line here with your mouse, then clipboard it (Ctrl-c or Ctrl-insert), and then paste it to the address line by deleting the address in your address line, and then pressing the mouse in the address field (Ctrl-v or Shift-insert), and then press enter.
To see another page, replace the numbers 802 as folowing:
The number 8 represtnts the year 2008.
Instead 8 you may write any number 4 - 8
To change page write instead 02 the appropriate page number as following:
Year 08 choose one of the pages 02 - 29
Year 07 choose one of the pages 02 - 14
Year 06 choose one of the pages 02 - 26
Year 05 choose one of the pages 02 - 12

After typing the appropriate number in the line:

press enter and wait.
If you like some PDF page, save it then to your computer, using "Save as" in your browser.
After it was saved, you may read it from your hardisk using Acrobat Reader 4 or another more appropriate software or with your browser tuned to the software,
but not with the browser if you use Acrobat reader 4.
It is much easier and simpler to do than reading these instructions here.
Of course, if you have not any software capable to present PDF, you must install one in order to read PDF.


  From Part A of the book:

"On the famous Cyclamen Hill near Kibbutz Ein Hashofet in Israel, thousands of cyclamen flowers hide in the shade of tree groves. Thousands of visitors come to see them during the long flowering season.
This small book includes photographs of thousands of cyclamen flowers, that hide in another grove - unknown to most people because it grows between buildings, in the neighborhood of Nave Shaanan in Haifa, Israel. Loosely translated, Nave Shaanan means a tranquil resting-place of beauty."

 

  The shock is in the last page, cited here from Part B of the book:

The pink-violet color of flowers and tree blossoms is beautiful.
But the title of the book is:

"SHOCKING PINK-VIOLET."

What is shocking?
The DEATH VERDICT is shocking.
The threatening death verdict on thousands of cyclamen flowers and the dozens of Judas trees (klil hahoresh) with their pink-violet flowers, together with thousands of other ornamental trees, most of them casuarina, lie in groves between the buildings.
This verdict (based on what trial evidence?), is a by product of a municipal building plan to enlarge the buildings in the neighborhood.
Instead of thousands of cyclamen flowers and thousands of ornamental trees, there will be additional apartments and parking lots.
Is this what they want?
Will someone earn money from this?
How come?
The flowers and trees are silent.
This small book is an appeal against this death verdict.
It is not known yet whether the photographs in this book present an oasis of beauty that will continue to enrich us every season, or will the oasis be spoken of in the past tense as:
"Once it was beautiful, but no more."

of a senior citizen living on Haviva St. in the neighborhood.

"Hok pinuy-binuy (pizuyim) 21.12.2005" - 2nd & 3rd votes in Israeli Knesset (ONLY IN HEBREW - 46Kb DOC file - 3 pages).
Comments: The citizens of the neighborhood were not asked about this law.
Members of the Knesset and the Law Committee were never told that there is a strange animal called "Ibuy," and that they are voting also to include "Ibuy" in the law.
The initiator of the "Pinuy-Binuy Law (21.12.2005)" is a member of the Knesset, (MP) Nissan Slomyanski, who claims to be the head of the lobby of retired and senior citizens in the Knesset (Israeli parliament). The distinguished MP Nissan Slomyanski and other members of the Knesset may read above the objection and the letter of a senior citizen who lives on Haviva St. since the early 1970's and strongly objects this plan.

Comment: Tama38 allows only one additional floor.
Plan Haifa/2187 does not comply with Tama38, because plan Haifa/2187 calls for the addition of 2-3 additional floors to 15 old buildings. There are many other differences between the two plans.

Did you know?
Haviva Street is named in memory of Haviva Rayk (1914-1944), who was murdered by the Nazis during a mission in Europe in World War II.
The word "Haviva" means in Hebrew: "A pleasant woman."
Haviva is an EVERGREEN street. That is, until they will build on the GREEN TREES and CYCLAMENS areas.
