What more could you ask for, than a book stuffed like an overfilled
rucksack with tips and tricks from one of the world's most
celebrated adventurers from pitching a tent, leading a team, how to
keep fit, tie knots, memorise facts, identify trees, stars and
birds, as well as learning real survival skills like putting up a
tent in the wild and stashing your breakfast in ground to keep it
hot for the next morning? This is the book for anyone who is a
Scout, was a Scout, or wants to be a Scout. Do Your Best is the
handbook for every Scout, young and old. It's a warm-hearted book
in which you'll learn all the skills the scouts use to do their
best in everything they do and set themselves up to face life
head-on and make a real difference in the world. Not since Scouting
for Boys, the seminal 1908 book by Robert Baden-Powell that sparked
the global movement, has there been a single handbook for every
Scout. Whoever you are it will help you step up, speak up, skill up
and dream big. Grab life with both hands, never give up and give
life you your best shot with Do Your Best: How To Be a Scout.

'How to be an adventurer'; 'How to be a camp cook'; 'How to live
freely'; 'How to predict the weather'; 'How to be a team player'.
And that's just for starters!
Between 1919 and 1920, the eastern territories of the former
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were temporarily administered by the
Civic Management of Eastern Territories, established by JĂłzef
Piłsudski. The residents of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania
were to determine their future governance. Piłsudski placed the
Civic Management outside the structures of the Polish government,
while his opponents from the Polish nationalist wing wanted to
suborn it to the government in Warsaw. Based on hitherto unknown
archival documents, the author describes the reasons for the
failure of Piłsudski’s federation idea, both on the Polish side,
as well as errors by Belarusian leaders and the policy of the
Lithuanian state.
This monograph deals with Polish foreign policy shortly before the
outbreak of the Second World War. In tracing the diplomatic
activity of foreign minister Jozef Beck, it discusses six general
problems: (1) the Polish political situation under the pressure of
appeasement; (2) the project of Intermarium and efforts to
implement it; (3) the action against Czechoslovakia and the
conflict with the Soviet Union; (4) the Polish attitude towards the
German concept of Gesamtlosung in Germany's relations with Poland;
(5) the genesis of the Polish alliance with Great Britain; (6) the
Allies' military inaction after Nazi Germany's aggression. In these
conditions, Poland made four key decisions: it stood against
Czechoslovakia, it rejected German demands, it allied itself with
the United Kingdom, and it rejected the Soviet Union's claim for
the Red Army to march across Polish lands.
