Diary of a Crisis : Israel in Turmoil
Diary of a Crisis explores the past tumultuous and traumatic year in Israel-Palestine.The eminent historian Saul Friedländer began a diary of Israeli politics in January 2023 as the country was convulsed by protests against Netanyahu's attempt to overhaul the judiciary.Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against this threat to democracy.But the protests said nothing about the Palestinian question-the "elephant in the room," according to Friedländer, who resumed his diary after Hamas's 7 October assault on southern Israel.Israel was facing one of the worst crises in its history, he observes, under the worst possible internal conditions. Friedländer weaves together profound reflections on a national history in which he has been an active participant.He describes how Prime Minister Golda Meir once flatly declared to him, "There is no Palestinian people." For Friedländer, on the other hand, the fight for democracy is inseparable from equality of treatment for Arab and Jewish citizens and an end to Israeli domination over Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.He argues that despite the continuing bloodshed, a two-state solution remains the only long-term answer to this most intractable of conflicts.

Exploring these crises from an individual, corporate and national perspective - including a bold 100-year plan for the future of the Netherlands - Rotmans offers fascinating examples of successful change and encourages us to act decisively and embrace the chaos in order to build a more optimistic future.

Is an instinctive action an action?
Yes, an instinctive action is still considered an action. Instinctive actions are automatic, involuntary responses to stimuli, and they are performed without conscious thought. However, they still involve a physical movement or response, which meets the definition of an action. Therefore, even though instinctive actions are not consciously chosen, they are still considered actions.

How does educational action differ from social action?
Educational action focuses on the process of teaching and learning, with the goal of imparting knowledge and skills to individuals. It is often structured and guided by educational institutions and professionals. On the other hand, social action aims to bring about change in society by addressing social issues and advocating for social justice. It is often driven by grassroots movements and community organizing, and may involve a wider range of stakeholders. While educational action may contribute to social change, social action is more directly focused on addressing systemic issues and promoting social transformation.

On the other hand, a framing action is a deliberate choice made by an individual or group to shape how a situation is perceived by others. It involves presenting information or events in a particular way to influence how they are interpreted.

The Munich Crisis of 1938 : Political Turmoil on the Brink of the Second World War
Bringing together a range of perspectives from across Europe, this book examines the Munich crisis of 1938.It reveals how the actions of the West, Nazi Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia and others influenced each other at this time, driving the world to the brink of a new war. The Munich Crisis of 1938 explores the critical political dimension to events as they unfolded, but it also offers insights into military aspects, pivotal private meetings, street riots, demonstrations, and reports in the international media to offer a rounded study of the subject.Piotr M. Majewski shines a light on the internal turmoil in Prague and the Czechoslovak preparations for war, the dramatic Anglo-German summits, Hitler's anti-Czech fury, the Polish sabre-rattling, the Hungarian hesitation, the duplicitous manoeuvres of the Soviets, the underhand political intrigues, and the intricate intelligence battle which ensued throughout.Majewski convincingly contends that 1938, and the appeasement that came with it in the name of saving peace, saw Europe take a decisive leap towards a disastrous war.
