The University of Groningen in the World - Guus Termeer, Klaas van Berkel - eBook (9789048555055)

The University of Groningen, situated in the northern part of the Netherlands, is a top-100 university with a distinguished history that dates back to 1614. Over the centuries it evolved, with ups and downs, from a small provincial and confessional university into a large, internationally oriented institution of higher education with a strong track record in scientific research and scholarship. This history is followed up to the present, which saw a remarkable recent surge in internationalisation in both research and education. The thesis underlying the story is that the internationalization of higher education in Groningen, and in the Netherlands at large, is in fact nothing but a return to a situation that existed during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when both the professors and the students were to a large degree recruited from abroad. The story ends with a short paragraph on the impact of the corona crisis.

Children who changed the world - Els Kloek, Floris van Straaten - eBook (9789491833229)

While Anne Frank unwittingly became a symbol of the effect of war on the lives of children.

Shipbuilding and ship repair workers around the world - eBook (9789048530724)

Seaborne trade is the backbone of the world economy. About 90 percent of world trade is transported by ships. Since World War II, shipbuilding has gone through major changes. While the global construction volume increased enormously, British initial dominance was first undermined by Japanese competition from the 1950s, but then Japan was in turn overtaken by South Korea in the 1990s, only to be outcompeted by the People's Republic of China since the 2008 crisis. Labour processes and employment relations have changed dramatically during these shifts. In twenty-four case studies, covering all continents, this volume reconstructs the development of the world's shipbuilding and ship repairs industries, and the workers' responses to these historical transformations.

Based on intensive research in the archives of six countries, this monograph presents an in-depth analysis of Belgium's monetary and financial history during the Second World War.
