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.

Embracing Chaos : How to deal with a World in Crisis?
It’s not surprising if you feel uneasy right now. In fact, it would be strange if you didn't. The world has become a very turbulent place and it feels like we’re in a state of permanent crises.We are living on the cusp of a new era, in which everything that we took for granted is being called into question.COVID-19, climate change, loss of biodiversity, energy crises, migration and droughts regularly make the headlines. In this ground-breaking book, Professor Jan Rotmans, a global authority on sustainable development and transition, analyses the world through a set of systemic crises: a financial-economic crisis, an ecological crisis, a moral crisis and a democratic crisis, all of which interact and reinforce each other.This multiple-system crisis affects us deeply and confronts us with persistent problems in our vital social systems.These systems are nearing their end and no longer meet the demands that we, as humans, place on them.The systems must now reinvent themselves, but we humans must reinvent ourselves too.That is the essence of system change. 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.

What is better: quartz movement or automatic movement?
The choice between quartz and automatic movement ultimately depends on personal preference and lifestyle. Quartz movements are known for their accuracy, low maintenance, and affordability, making them a practical choice for everyday wear. On the other hand, automatic movements are favored for their craftsmanship, intricate mechanics, and the satisfaction of owning a traditional timepiece. Automatic movements also do not require a battery, as they are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist, which can be appealing to some watch enthusiasts. Ultimately, the decision between quartz and automatic movement comes down to individual priorities and preferences.

'Rest or movement?'
Both rest and movement are important for overall health and well-being. Rest allows the body to recover and recharge, while movement helps to maintain physical fitness and flexibility. Finding a balance between the two is key, as too much rest can lead to stiffness and decreased energy, while too much movement can lead to fatigue and overexertion. It's important to listen to your body and give it the rest and movement it needs to stay healthy and strong.

How has the ecumenical movement developed from the anecumenical movement?
The ecumenical movement has developed from the anecumenical movement by shifting the focus from division and exclusivity to unity and cooperation among different Christian denominations.

What is the difference between movement description and movement analysis?
Movement description involves providing a detailed account of the physical actions and characteristics of a movement, such as the body parts involved, the sequence of movements, and the timing. On the other hand, movement analysis goes beyond just describing the movement and involves a deeper examination of the underlying principles, mechanics, and factors that influence the movement, such as biomechanics, motor control, and coordination. Movement analysis aims to understand the reasons behind how and why a movement is performed in a certain way, while movement description focuses on providing a clear and accurate account of the movement itself.
