This completely revised second edition of the Latin/Dutch Dictionary is aimed at a non-professional readership. It features entries with irregular forms with redirections for the reader, a grammar appendix, a detailed list of abbreviations found in entries, a broad vocabulary based on classical texts as well as medical, legal and ecclesiastical documents, and suggestions for translation based on the different contexts in which the word can be found. The Latin/Dutch Dictionary also contains a CD-ROM which offers a fully searchable online version of the content.

This book aims to introduce the main concepts of colloid science and to demonstrate its use in technology. The contents of the book can be roughly divided into two parts.

The first part contains the basic knowledge required to deal with colloidal systems. Chapter 1 introduces some key aspects of colloidal systems such as osmotic pressure, Brownian motion and the Tyndall effect and discusses some applications. Chapter 2 presents the Five Laws of Interfacial Engineering that control colloidal behavior under various conditions. The chapter 3 deals with amphiphilic systems and their assemblies such as emulsions and microemulsions. Chapter 4 summarizes the main results of the vast amount of information available on colloidal stability and chapter 5 covers aspects of rheology relevant to colloidal systems. With these chapters, there is a bundle of worked exercises, taken from the author's own experience and from other textbooks, that is available upon request from the author.

The second part, consisting of the chapters 6 - 8, deal with technological applications such as emulsification, film formation and flotation. In these last chapters some new fundamental issues are discussed where necessary but the emphasis is on the application. These topics are selected such as to emphasize the role of colloid science and and sufficiently general to act as a template for other technological applications.

"At the end of the twentieth century, scientists understand better than ever before the scope of the Universe and its origins; the variety of objects it contains, from quasars and pulsars to galaxies; and the inner workings of our own Sun. But such has been the pace of progress, especially in the past couple of decades, that the story has been fragmented, with no single, user-friendly guide to present the broad sweep as well as the detailed discoveries." "Companion to the Cosmos tells the whole story of the Universe and the people who made the discoveries." "The Companion begins with an extended introduction in which Gribbin sets out the present state of knowledge and explains the key discoveries of twentieth century cosmology: the Universe is evolving and growing. The main section of the book, an A-Z encyclopedia, is a mixture of lengthy feature articles on major subjects (for example, black holes, gravity, our Galaxy, life in the Universe, supernovae), shorter entries, and biographies of the scientists. In the final section, "Timelines," cosmological discoveries are set out alongside key dates in general history and the history of science, from the time of the ancient astronomers of Greece up to the present day."

Beschrijvingen van vijftig historische missers en domme beslissingen die akelige gevolgen voor de rest van de wereld hebben gehad.

De Ming-dynastie werd in 1368 door Zhu Yuanzhang uitgeroepen na verdrijving van de Mongoolse khans van de Yuan-dynastie. Ming - letterlijk: 'schitterend' - zou langdurig en stabiel blijken te zijn. De tentoonstelling geeft een beeld van de successen, vooral in kunst, cultuur en handel. De tijd van de dynastie, die esthetiek hoog in het vaandel had staan, kenmerkte zich door grote sociale veranderingen en een bloeiende, consumptieve cultuur. Met name de vijfde Ming-keizer Xuande (reg. 1425-1435) geldt als een heerser die de kunsten sterk bevorderd heeft en de artistieke reputatie van de Ming-dynastie vestigde. De objecten die de keizers bezaten, getuigen van ontzaglijke rijkdom en weelde.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's remarkable series of paintings known as the Berlin Street Scenes is a highpoint of the artist's work and a milestone of German Expressionism. Kirchner moved from Dresden to Berlin in 1911, and it was there, immersed in the vitality of a teeming city and under the looming shadow of imminent world war, that he created the Street Scenes in a burst of creative energy and ambition. Berlin was at this time undergoing rapid growth, and as Kirchner absorbed the crowds and energy of city life, his work responded with acute perspective, jagged brushstrokes and searing color. As the most extensive consideration of these paintings in English, this richly illustrated volume examines the creative process undertaken by the artist as he explored his themes through various media and presents a major body of related work including drawings, pen-and-ink studies, pastels, etchings, woodcuts and lithographs. It also investigates the significance of the streetwalker as the dominant motif of this series, and provides insight on its relationship to Kirchner's wider oeuvre.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) was one of German Expressionism's foremost practitioners. His painterly aesthetic was formed within the Brüche group, in Dresden, where he was one among a number of artists rebelling against bourgeois life and the stale conventions of the academy. Kirchner made his Street Scenes series immediately following the dissolution of Brüche. Today he is increasingly recognized as one of the major figures in the early development of Modern art.

Kees van Putten's doctoral thesis, "Thinking with Images about the Natural Order between 1750 and 1900: Four Case Studies," defended at Radboud University Nijmegen in November 2022, explores how naturalists utilized visual representations to conceptualize and construct ideas about the order of nature. The work, a compilation of articles published in Early Science and Medicine and the Journal of History of Biology, focuses on the role of imagery in the thought processes of thinkers such as Linnaeus and Darwin

Making Sense of Japanese is the fruit of one foolhardy American's thirty-year struggle to learn and teach the Language of the Infinite. Previously known as Gone Fishin', this book has brought Jay Rubin more feedback than any of his literary translations or scholarly tomes, "even if," he says, "you discount the hate mail from spin-casters and the stray gill-netter."

To convey his conviction that "the Japanese language is not vague," Rubin has dared to explain how some of the most challenging Japanese grammatical forms work in terms of everyday English. Reached recently at a recuperative center in the hills north of Kyoto, Rubin declared, "I'm still pretty sure that Japanese is not vague. Or at least, it's not as vague as it used to be. Probably."

The notorious "subjectless sentence" of Japanese comes under close scrutiny in Part One. A sentence can't be a sentence without a subject, so even in cases where the subject seems to be lost or hiding, the author provides the tools to help you find it. Some attention is paid as well to the rest of the sentence, known technically to grammarians as "the rest of the sentence."

Part Two tackles a number of expressions that have baffled students of Japanese over the decades, and concludes with Rubin's patented technique of analyzing upside-down Japanese sentences right-side up, which, he claims, is "far more restful" than the traditional way, inside-out.

"The scholar," according to the great Japanese novelist Soseki Natsume, is "one who specializes in making the comprehensible incomprehensible." Despite his best scholarly efforts, Rubin seems to have done just the opposite.

Previously published in the Power Japanese series under the same title and originally as Gone Fishin' in the same series.

This is a catalogue of maps, all published separately, and they cover territories as large as the Earth and as small as a particular city or county. There is a large collection of county and town maps from England, and another extensive selection of maps that appear on playing cards. Here are a few of the other maps you will find within.   The catalogue starts with the spectacular Map of the World in a globular projection exhibiting Particularly the Nautical Researches of Capn James Cook... This is an updated 1799 edition of the Aaron Arrowsmith map first published in 1794. This map shows the world in two half globes, one for each hemisphere. Added to the map are the routes taken on Captain James Cook's three voyages, which provided Europe with much of its knowledge of the Pacific, including Australia, the west coast of North America, and many of the Pacific islands. It was also Cook who determined there was no massive Antarctic continent as previously believed. Each voyage is shown by a different colored line, with the last one changing from blue to black in Hawaii after Cook died. Arrowsmith was a leading cartographer of his era and the founder of a line of mapmaking Arrowsmiths who followed. This map notably shows the American Northwest, which he would reproduce in a separate more detailed map, as it was known just before Lewis and Clark set out on their travels into the territory. Priced at £20,000 (British pounds, or roughly $33,230 in U.S. Currency).

Tsjakka, amai, aju paraplu!, dûh!, boeie, wat dacht je wat!, awel zulle, poehee, toedeledokie, chapeau!, wat krijgen we nou?, effe dimme, beng! - het zijn allemaal uitropen waarmee iemand min of meer spontaan een emotie tot uitdrukking brengt. Die emotie kan variëren van uiterst positief (halleluja) tot uiterst negatief (zeg maar dag met het handje!), van opperste verrassing (niet te filmen!) tot uiting van vrees voor onheil (nu zul je het hebben), van een vraag (wat krijgen we nou?) tot antwoord (in orde!). In dit boek worden ze verzameld en beschreven, zulke algemeen ingeburgerde uitroepen en min of meer vaste formules die een emotie uitdrukken. Wat ze letterlijk betekenen, doet er vaak niet eens toe, het gaat er vooral om hoe ze worden gebruikt, met welk doel en vanuit welk gevoel. Door middel van veel citaten uit kranten en literatuur laat dit boek zien van welke uitroepen taalgebruikers zich bedienen. Hiermee geeft het een boeiend kijkje in de keuken van de taal, waarin uit de meest primaire gevoelens de meest directe taalvormen opbruisen.

In deze atlas worden kaarten uit 1741 en 1822 vergeleken met de huidige situatie. Zo wordt duidelijk hoe snelwegen, spoorwegen en kanalen het oude landschap doorkruisen en hoe de kernen zijn gegroeid. Maar ook is prachtig te zien welke structuren nog ongewijzigd zijn: oude verkavelingspatronen, dijkdoorbraken en andere landschapselementen. Aan de start van elk hoofdstuk wordt de infrastructuur van 1741 vergeleken met die van nu. Vervolgens wordt in detail ingezoomd op alle dorpen en steden in het gebied. Van iedere kern is de situatie in 1822 nauwkeurig weergeven door het afbeelden van een uitsnede uit de allereerste kadasterkaart. Deze wordt telkens geflankeerd door een recente luchtfoto in exact dezelfde schaal en dezelfde uitsnede. Aan het eind van het boek wordt nog op detail ingezoomd op bijzondere plaatsen, bijvoorbeeld de locatie van verdwenen kastelen en landhuizen.
