Hans den Hartog de Jager en Pieter Steinz gingen op zoek naar de kunstwerken die Nederland definiëren. Hoe schilderde een protestantse kunstenaar de Tachtigjarige Oorlog en hoe zag de Opstand eruit door een katholieke bril? Hoe is onze geschiedenis verbeeld? Dit boek is een Nederlandse geschiedenis en kunstgeschiedenis in één.

In this book the author sets out to describe and discuss the philosophical foundations and conceptual problems encountered in the theory of quantum physics. The book describes the basic ideas of quantum physics and discusses both the long standing and the more modern conceptual problems. It then goes on to discuss the 'Measurement Problem' which arises when quantum physics is taken to be the fundamental theory of physics, applicable to large-scale physical systems as well as to atomic phenomena. Various attempts to resolve the resulting contradictions have led some physicists to suggest that human consciousness plays a unique role in the physical world and others to postulate that the physical universe is continually splitting into a huge number of copies of itself. Recent suggestions that quantum physics might be capable of explaining so-called paranormal phenomena are critically reviewed.

From Darwin onward, it has been second nature for evolutionary biologists to think comparatively because comparisons establish the generality of evolutionary phenomena. Do large genomes slow down development? What lifestyles select for large brains? Are extinction rates related to body size? These are all questions for the comparative method, and this book is about how such questions can be answered. The first chapter elaborates on suitable questions for the comparative approach and shows how it complements other approaches to problem-solving in evolution. The second chapter identifies the biological causes of similarity among closely related species for almost any observed character. The third chapter discusses methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees and ancestral character states. The fourth chapter sets out to develop statistical tests that will determine whether different characters that exist in discrete states show evidence for correlated evolution. Chapter 5 turns to comparative analyses of continuously varying characters. Chapter 6 looks at allometry to exemplify the themes and methods discussed earlier, while the last chapter looks to future development of the comparative approach in both molecular and organismic biology.

Qu'est-ce que le judaïsme ? Une histoire, une religion, une identité, une mémoire, une étiquette, une loi, un livre? Depuis les temps bibliques jusqu'à l'époque de l'état hébreux, le judaïsme n'a cessé de se transformer. Pour débrouiller cet écheveau, une centaine de chercheurs du monde entier ont exploré la vie quotidienne juive, le cycle des fêtes, les multiples aspects de la pensée juive, les principaux concepts du Talmud, la différence entre achkenazes et sefarades, l'importance du hassidisme, les rapports entre le judaïsme et l'islam, l'enseignement des prophètes, et mille autres faits touchant aux relations entre le judaïsme et l'histoire du monde occidental. Sont ainsi expliquées, à travers quelque mille cinq cents articles, pour les Juifs et les non-juifs - qui partagent d'ailleurs souvent la même méconnaissance du judaïsme les notions "d'Ablution", de "Chabbat", de "Circoncision", de "Torah" ou de "Yiddish". Une Esquisse de l'histoire du peuple juif, illustrée par de nombreuses cartes, et un Calendrier juif complètent ce Dictionnaire encyclopédique du judaïsme, dont l'original américain a été spécialement adapté pour le lecteur français. Un index thématique, enfin, facilitant au lecteur la circulation à travers tout l'ouvrage, fait de ce Dictionnaire un outil de travail hors pair et unique en français.

Na een aanduiding van de verschillende soorten musea wordt ingegaan op tal van problemen die zich er voor kunnen doen. Hierbij wordt aandacht besteed aan de interne organisatie, administratie, schenkingen, beveiliging, werkprogramma, opstelling, conserveren en registratie.

Starting with the premise that we live in communication (rather than standing outside communication and using it for secondary purposes), Pearce claims that people who live in various cultures and historical epochs not only communicate differently but experience different ways of being human because they communicate differently.

This century, he notes, ushered in the "communication revolution," the discovery that communication is far more important and central to the human condition than ever before realized. Essential to the communication revolution is the recognition that multiple forms of discourse exist in contemporary human society. Further, these forms of discourse are not benign; they comprise alternative ways of being human.

Thus communication theory must encompass all that it "means to live a life, the shape of social institutions and cultural traditions, the pragmatics of social action, and the poetics of social order."

Marc Chagall--one of the greatest of all twentieth-century painters--died in 1985, during a major exhibition of his work, mounted jointly by the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This exhibition had as one of its main features quotations taken from Chagall's autobiography, My Life.
Originally published in English in 1965, Chagall's My Life offers a lyrical and evocative account of the author's early life and tremendous insight into the shaping of his creative genius. His literary style--playful and witty arabesques of fantasy that remind us of his visual imagery--accentuates his descriptions of his childhood spent in the provincial Russian town of Witebsk, his early adventures, and his first meeting with Bella, the woman who later became his wife. He depicts his struggle as an artist in the face of poverty and opposition, followed by the fruitful years in Paris where he found fulfillment and recognition. Chagall ends his account by describing his return to Russia at the outbreak of World War I and the despair that finally induced him to return to France with Bella and their young daughter in 1922.

The first nine months of Donald Trump's term were stormy, outrageous - and absolutely mesmerising. Now, thanks to his deep access to the West Wing, bestselling author Michael Wolff tells the riveting story of how Trump launched a tenure as volatile and fiery as the man himself.
In this explosive book, Wolff provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office. Among the revelations:

- What President Trump's staff really thinks of him
- What inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama
- Why FBI director James Comey was really fired
- Why chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn't be in the same room
- Who is really directing the Trump administration's strategy in the wake of Bannon's firing
- What the secret to communicating with Trump is
- What the Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers
Never before has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported and astoundingly fresh, Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury shows us how and why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.
