IABR–2018+2020–The missing Link - Paperback (9789082513721)

There is a direct connection between the future of the city and the key challenges of our time, such as climate change and rapidly growing social inequality. Over the next three years, the IABR will fully focus on finding a missing link in the effort to uncover solutions: the gap between innovative design and sustainable realisation. Stimulating an environment in which good plans can be turned into concrete projects is a vital part. Published with the 8th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, this catalogue starts with the Delta of the Low Countries, with research and ateliers in Belgium and the Netherlands, and exhibitions and programmes in Rotterdam and Brussels.

The science of the soul - Sander de Boer - eBook (9789461660787)

The transformation of the science of the soul between 1260 and 1360. Aristotle's highly influential work on the soul, entitled De anima, formed part of the core curriculum of medieval universities and was discussed intensively. It covers a range of topics in philosophical psychology, such as the relationship between mind and body and the nature of abstract thought. However, there is a key difference in scope between the socalled 'science of the soul', based on Aristotle, and modern philosophical psychology. This book starts from a basic premise accepted by all medieval commentators, namely that the science of the soul studies not just human beings but all living beings. As such, its methodology and approach must also apply to plants and animals. The Science of the Soul discusses how philosophers, from Thomas Aquinas to Pierre d'Ailly, dealt with the difficult task of giving a unified account of life and traces the various stages in the transformation of the science of the soul between …

Lobby for land - Dirk Koppenol - eBook (9789461279590)

Rotterdam's successful lobbying resulted in four massive port expansions: Botlek, Europoort and Maasvlakte 1 between the 1950s and 1970s, and Maasvlakte 2 in 2008-2012. At times these projects encountered opposition; they were expensive and would have considerable impact on the liveability in the port area. Over the decades, the Rotterdam Port Management developed a strong lobby to overcome public and political opposition and maintain support for port expansion. Dirk Koppenol shows, by comparing the 15-year decision-making process of Maasvlakte 2 to the earlier port expansions, how the Rotterdam Lobby functioned, but most of all, why and under which circumstances this lobby for port expansion was successful. Lobby for Land is an exciting and insightful exploration of the forces that have driven the Rotterdam lobby for port expansion, changed the public and political attitude towards port development and determined the success of port expansion decision-making processes. It is a must-re…

The beauty of the difference - Martine F. Delfos - eBook (9789088508561)

In The Beauty of the Difference, Martine Delfos describes the differences and similarities between men and women. She shows how these differences and similarities intertwine like cogwheels. She does not limit herself to listing the differences and similarities, but she describes how male and female are interrelated, and how they have meaning with and for each other, from biological, evolutionary and social elements. From this viewpoint one can understand the meaning of these differences in contemporary society and Delfos shows how biological similarities make emancipation of both men and women possible. Delfos thinks that both the differences and the similarities are necessary for the emancipation of men and women. She states that we must emancipate with the biological flow instead of against the biological current. The book provides an in-depth insight into the way men and women function and its significance for entering into relationships, both heterosexual and homosexual. Why homose…

A Critical Approach to Police Science - eBook (9789462749573)

The social, economic and technological developments of the late modern society have radically changed policing approaches both at national and supranational levels. With the anti-terrorism discourse and the global crises of mobilities, the security needs of citizens is now at the pinnacle of government priorities. At the same time, traditional law enforcement faces an epistemological crisis through the digitalisation and privatization of security. Governments, and especially the police, are expected to either prevent or respond to security threats, and if necessary, to ensure order through rigorous measures. The traditional means of policing, however, is met with increasing difficulties to sustain their legitimacy on all fronts. Regarding the current subject of public security, several challenges can be identified. The shifting relationship between organizational and management rules between the state and other governing bodies, the use of new technologies, and the fusion of different …

The Poet Tree - Jurgen Toonen - Paperback (9789463988964)

What is a soul? A strange and fascinating being a soul is. A mystery since our existence. However, another name for it is man or woman, a living creature. A consciousness in a body that is called human. A personality with free will, feelings and ratio. It can suffer, be happy, love, hate, reject, comfort, live and die. Say no to God. All is possible. This poetry evolves from life. The Tree of life is the Poet Tree. The Tree of life is also part of death. Or rather starts with death. Christ is the Tree of Life, died on it to give life. Life giver. A quest of a soul, a journey, an exploration, sometimes a bitter complaint or in-depth admiration and all in between. It is all here in this booklet inspired by Life.

The Spanish Pacific, 1521-1815 - eBook (9789048552276)

The Spanish Pacific designates the space Spain colonized or aspired to rule in Asia between 1521--with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan--and 1815--the end of the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade route. It encompasses what we identify today as the Philippines and the Marianas, but also China, Japan, and other parts of Asia that in the Spanish imagination were extensions of its Latin American colonies. This reader provides a selection of documents relevant to the encounters and entanglements that arose in the Spanish Pacific between European, Spanish Americans, and Asians while highlighting the role of natives, mestizos, and women. A-first-of-its-kind, each of the documents in this collection was selected, translated into English, and edited by a different scholar in the field of early modern Spanish Pacific studies, who also provided commentary and bibliography.

Lex Ludica: Soccer rules revisited - Robert C.R. Siekmann - eBook (9789490951405)

Lex ludica (game rules) is a branch of sports law that has never been studied in the academic community nor beyond. There are no learned writings on the subject and consequently, there is a considerable gap in science. Several years ago, Dr. Robert Siekmann decided to undertake a pilot study into the Laws of the Game of association football, which is World Sport No. 1. This eventually led to the present publication. Lex Ludica: Soccer Rules Revisited describes the development of the Laws of the Game from ancient times to the present day. A large part of the book focuses on the current text of the Laws. In May 2016, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the gameís law-making body, published a new text of the Laws of the Game. This new version is presented as a comprehensive revision of the Laws of the Game and was adopted in order ëto increase the universality of the Laws by making them easily understood so football throughout the world benefits from consistent interpreta…

Noord West - Zuid Oost - Catharien Romijn - Hardcover (9789053308974)

The work of Jaap Mooy (1916-1987) covers more than 50 years, in a period in which he constantly explored new paths and re-invented himself in terms of styles and techniques. Although Mooy became closely involved with the Cobra movement, he had no desire to become a member of the group. He was one of the first Dutch artists to use scrap metal to create sculptures. Together with Karel Appel and Lucebert, he represented the Netherlands at the Venice Biennale in 1964. As the basis for sources of inspiration in the 1970s and '80s, he alternated between the geometrical, the conceptual and the figurative. However, throughout his work, his attitude remained unchanged, coloured by a dark vision of the human condition: a cynical view of power and those in power, a critical attitude towards society, an unshakable faith in the task of art: to choose the side of victims while maintaining the poetic nature of the image. The orthopaedic shoemaker Jacques Defauwes and his wife Miny, well-known art col…
