    GE2020: an election that should not be forgotten for yielding startling outcomes, including the appointment of the first Leader of the Opposition. 
     
     
    Voting in a Time of Change is part of a longitudinal study by editors Kevin YL Tan and Terence Lee, who have been assembling trenchant analyses of each General Election by leading academics and commentators since GE2011. Their long game makes possible specific and unique insights. Of GE2020, this is what they have to say: 
     
     
    “The major political shift in Singapore that started in 2011 is marching on, even amidst a Covid-19 pandemic that was to have been a great disrupter. Whether we call this a ‘New Normal’ – as many did back in 2011 – or otherwise is not as important as the momentum for change that has built up since then. Covid-19 thus became a political backdrop to a social and political shift that was merely searching for a catalyst.” 
     
     
    What insights and lessons can we carry forward to the next General Elections? This is an indispensable milestone publication for citizens who wish to commit to even more informed choices, and for political observers who are keeping close tabs on the evolution of our political landscape.

    "Israel: The Last Vestige of European Colonialism in the Middle East" is an in-depth examination of the historical and ongoing impact of European colonialism on the formation and expansion of Israel. Through a critical lens, this book challenges the mainstream narratives that depict Israel as the rightful homeland of the Jewish people and instead explores its colonial roots and the displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population. 
      
    The book delves into the role of European powers, from the Zionist movement's inception in the late 19th century to the political maneuvers that facilitated the establishment of Israel in 1948. It uncovers how Western support, particularly from Britain and the United States, enabled the colonization of Palestine while ignoring the rights of the native population. It also analyzes the demographic changes brought about by waves of European Jewish immigration and presents genetic evidence highlighting the European ancestry of much of the modern Israeli population. 
      
    By exploring topics such as the marginalization of non-European Jewish communities, the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories, and the influence of Western powers, this book aims to shed light on the historical injustices and colonial dynamics that continue to shape the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Readers will be encouraged to question established narratives, understand the broader geopolitical implications, and consider the pathways to justice and accountability for the Palestinian people.

The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated?both a function of the “germ” and the “terrain”?the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski succinctly describes emerging science on the virome and how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infection. He then clearly outlines the tools needed for better health, including these: -The best nutrients to supercharge your immunity -How to harness the power of botanical medicine -How to detoxify simply and safely at home -Valuable information on simple treatment and recommended diagnostic tests for given conditions As we move forward from the tragedy of COVID-19, it is essential that we come together to learn from our mistakes and work hard?and work together?to prevent a similar crisis in the future. When the next pandemic hits, we need to be better prepared. Now is the time to do something, and it is the best investment we can make so that when the next one hits we can keep our loved ones and ourselves safe and healthy.
