Dr. Amos Funkenstein (1937-1995). Jewish historical scholar, author of such works as Perceptions of Jewish History from Antiquity to the Present (Tel Aviv, 1991). Probably nowhere near as cool as his name implies.

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
