👟 It was a cold and rainy week in Berlin, but nothing could stop this set of hardened runners from joining the annual company run on Wednesday. Over 1,000 companies participated this year, but dare we say our team had the best T-shirts and the tastiest bratwurst back at the De Gruyter courtyard afterwards. Well done to everyone involved! #DeGruyterBrill #CompanyRun #Firmenlauf

📰 We're delighted to see our author Dahlia Scheindlin's book, "The Crooked Timber of Democracy in Israel," reviewed in the prestigious Foreign Affairs Magazine, published by the US Council on Foreign Relations. Scheindlin is a political analyst and polling expert who regularly contributes to The Guardian and Haaretz newspapers. According to Foreign Affairs, she "provides a brisk, fresh history, avoiding many of the now hackneyed assessments of the myriad virtues and vices of Israel’s leaders, instead crafting a lucid assessment of the conflicting ideological and political commitments that have weakened democracy in Israel—not least, the decades-long failure to acknowledge, much less resolve, the question of Israel’s relationship with the land and people of historic Palestine."

On World Book and Copyright Day, we asked our team member Sujin Shin for her favorite book as she's been cataloguing and digitizing our archive of titles inherited from Akademie Verlag, one of the most important publishers in former East Germany. Sujin picked "On General Relativity," by André Mercier, Hans Jürgen Treder and Wolfgang Yourgrau, from 1979. She says: "This is a book that I came across while doing the Akademie books and recognized the last name of one of my old professors from Brandeis. I emailed him a while ago to ask about it; turns out one of the authors was his father (who has long since passed). Finding this book reconnected me and my prof, Palle Yourgrau, and it was so nice!" 📚🧡🎓 #DeGruyterBrill #AkademieVerlag #WorldBookDay Brandeis University

#PlanetvsPlastics 🌎 Today is Earth Day, and this year the movement centers on reducing plastic pollution for the sake of both humanity and planetary health. We spoke with polymer scientist Katrina Knauer, Ph.D., about innovative recycling technologies and the development of new plastics that could make a significant contribution to achieving this mission. Read the interview on De Gruyter Conversations: https://lnkd.in/eY9M5psn Dr. Knauer (The BOTTLE Consortium) is the author of Circular Plastics Technologies, published by De Gruyter Physical Sciences. From the pyrolysis of mixed plastics to the splitting of polymers into their respective monomers, this timely volume introduces the innovative chemical recycling technologies that could play an important role in reaching EARTHDAY.ORG's goal of a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040. Dr. Knauer's book and blog post both feature in our #EarthDay24 free access collection: https://lnkd.in/eHXKFMkC #EarthDayDeGruyter #Microplastics #Plastics #ChemicalRecycling #Polymers #Pollution #EarthDay
