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 are semi-synthetic plastics and synthetic plastics?
Semi-synthetic plastics are materials that are derived from natural polymers, such as cellulose or starch, and then chemically modified to improve their properties. Examples of semi-synthetic plastics include cellulose acetate and rayon. On the other hand, synthetic plastics are entirely man-made materials produced from chemical reactions involving petroleum-based or other synthetic polymers. Examples of synthetic plastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. Both semi-synthetic and synthetic plastics are widely used in various industries due to their versatility and durability.

Can I use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil?
Yes, you can use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil in your vehicle. Both types of oil offer improved performance and protection compared to conventional mineral oil. Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of mineral oil and synthetic oil, offering a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. Fully synthetic oil is made entirely from chemical compounds and offers the highest level of performance and protection, especially in extreme temperatures and high-stress driving conditions. It's important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a professional mechanic to determine which type of oil is best for your specific vehicle.

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.

Are semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oils better for scooters?
Both semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils have their own advantages. Fully synthetic oils are generally better for scooters as they offer superior lubrication and protection, especially in high-performance or high-temperature conditions. They also have longer service intervals and better resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown. However, semi-synthetic oils can be a good compromise for scooters that don't require the extreme performance benefits of fully synthetic oils, while still offering better protection than conventional mineral oils. Ultimately, the choice between semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils depends on the specific needs and usage of the scooter.

Is it bad to use full synthetic instead of semi-synthetic?
Using full synthetic oil instead of semi-synthetic oil is not necessarily bad, but it may not be necessary for all vehicles. Full synthetic oil offers better performance and protection for high-performance or high-mileage vehicles, but it is also more expensive. Semi-synthetic oil can provide adequate protection for most vehicles and is a more cost-effective option. It's important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual and consider your driving habits before deciding which type of oil to use.
