    Ik heb nooit iets...

    Ik heb nooit iets gelezen en alle andere fragmenten

    Dikke paperback, rug verkleurd door de zon, maar verder als nieuw. Geen naam, geen leesvouwen, mooi exemplaar, jammer van de verschoten rug alleen.

    Polemische notities over uiteenlopende onderwerpen. Karel van het Reve (1921-1999) schreef zelden iets zonder dat iemand hem daarom had gevraagd, maar 'fragmenten' schreef hij in eerste instantie voor zichzelf, om een gedachte, een herinnering vast te pinnen voor die weer vervloog. Het is te danken aan K.L. Poll, oprichter en redacteur van Hollands Maandblad, dat zij toch in dat tijdschrift werden gepubliceerd. Een deel ervan nam Van het Reve later als Fragmenten in zijn boeken op.

    Voor deze bundel Ik heb nooit iets gelezen en alle andere fragmenten geldt dat de schrijver er zelf het plan voor had, maar aan de uitvoering ervan niet meer is toegekomen. Dat is dus dit boek geworden. Het bevat, op zes vrijwel woordelijke herhalingen na, alle, dat wil zeggen ruim vijfhonderd fragmenten die Van het Reve vanaf 1963 in Hollands Maandblad publiceerde. Bijna de helft ervan verschijnt hier voor het eerst in boekvorm.
    Ik heb nooit iets gelezen biedt de lezer als het ware een blik in de werkkamer van de schrijver. In een bonte stoet komt van alles voorbij: Russische dissidenten, opinions chic, wetenschap, kruiswoordraadsels, literatuur en vele andere zaken. Fascinerend is het om te zien hoe Van het Reves ideeën, die later in opzienbarende - vaak tot grote woede van zijn tegenstanders leidende - artikelen werden verwerkt, hier vaak al in een pril stadium aanwezig zijn. Dat geldt bijvoorbeeld voor zijn bezwaren tegen Marx, Freud en Dostojevski en zijn kritiek op de evolutieleer en pseudowetenschappen als de literatuurwetenschap. Ook de periode toen Van het Reve als correspondent van Het Parool in Moskou woonde (zomer 1967 tot zomer 1968) is in de fragmenten duidelijk te herkennen.

    The Stakes. America at...

    The Stakes. America at the Point of No Return

    Mooi exemplaar. Forse Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag. Nog als nieuw, like new.

    The next election is the most important one America has faced in more than a century. That’s not campaign hype. America is divided as almost never before—with contesting political factions regarding themselves not as rivals but as enemies. And the frightening thing is that, in large part, they’re right.

    The Democratic Party has become the party of “identity politics”—and every one of those identities is defined against a unifying national heritage of patriotism, pride in America’s past, and hope for a shared future.

    Offering only antagonism based on group identity—whether race, sex, or something else—the Democrats look forward to imposing nationally what they have achieved in California: one-party rule in a lockdown nation, where the ruling class makes every decision and doles out benefits to favored groups.

    Against them is a divided Republican Party. Gravely misunderstanding the opposition, old-style Republicans still seek bipartisanship and accommodation, wrongly assuming that Democrats care about playing by the tiresome old rules laid down in the Constitution and other fundamental charters of American liberty.

    The new core of the Republican Party is the populists and nationalists, who are tired of losing. The party’s only hope of victory, they are all that stand between the United States as we have traditionally understood it and a revolution—less dramatic in appearance but just as consequential as the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.

    Michael Anton, the author of the most scathing, memorable, and quoted essay of the 2016 campaign season, “The Flight 93 Election”—which Rush Limbaugh called “one of the greatest columns ever written”—now explains in depth why the stakes have risen even higher.

    Ranging across every hot-button political topic of our time—from immigration to nationalism to war—and informed by a profound understanding of classical and American political philosophy, The Stakes will transform the way you view politics and America’s future.

    Life on a Young Planet

    Life on a Young Planet

    Engelstalige paperback, nog helemaal als nieuw. Like New.

    Australopithecines, dinosaurs, trilobites--such fossils conjure up images of lost worlds filled with vanished organisms. But in the full history of life, ancient animals, even the trilobites, form only the half-billion-year tip of a nearly four-billion-year iceberg. Andrew Knoll explores the deep history of life from its origins on a young planet to the incredible Cambrian explosion, presenting a compelling new explanation for the emergence of biological novelty.


    The very latest discoveries in paleontology--many of them made by the author and his students--are integrated with emerging insights from molecular biology and earth system science to forge a broad understanding of how the biological diversity that surrounds us came to be. Moving from Siberia to Namibia to the Bahamas, Knoll shows how life and environment have evolved together through Earth's history. Innovations in biology have helped shape our air and oceans, and, just as surely, environmental change has influenced the course of evolution, repeatedly closing off opportunities for some species while opening avenues for others.

    Readers go into the field to confront fossils, enter the lab to discern the inner workings of cells, and alight on Mars to ask how our terrestrial experience can guide exploration for life beyond our planet. Along the way, Knoll brings us up-to-date on some of science's hottest questions, from the oldest fossils and claims of life beyond the Earth to the hypothesis of global glaciation and Knoll's own unifying concept of ''permissive ecology.''

    In laying bare Earth's deepest biological roots, Life on a Young Planet helps us understand our own place in the universe--and our responsibility as stewards of a world four billion years in the making.

    In a new preface, Knoll describes how the field has broadened and deepened in the decade since the book's original publication.

    In an Unspoken Voice

    In an Unspoken Voice

    Prachtexemplaar, Engelstalige paperback, in nieuwstaat.

    In In an Unspoken Voice, renowned trauma expert Peter A. Levine, PhD, reveals how the body holds the key to recovering from complex trauma and experiences that overwhelm our nervous systems, from adverse childhood experiences to PTSD . Drawing on decades of clinical practice, personal stories, case studies, and trauma science, Dr. Levine shows that trauma can be healed—if we can learn to listen to our bodies’ innate, unspoken wisdom. Through vivid accounts, from his own near-fatal accident to the journeys of clients grappling with their own traumas and scars, you’ll learn how our nervous systems respond to threat; why trauma can leave us “stuck” in fear and numbness, and, most importantly, how to restore resilience and heal toward empowered, mind-body wholeness. This book explains:

    • How shaking, trembling, and instinctive movements are essential embodied responses—and can help us release trauma safely and effectively
    • The biological “map” of flight, flight, freeze, and collapse—and how to break free from paralyzing experiences of fear and trauma
    • Practical steps and evidence-based exercises to help you gently discharge survival energy
    • How to reawaken your natural capacity for self-regulation
    • The SIBAM—Sensation, Image, Behavior, Affect, and Meaning—model for integrating fragmented experiences
    • Real-life wisdom and insights from case studies of survivors

    In an Unspoken Voice is a compassionate, deeply human, and revelatory look at trauma and what it takes to heal—and shows you that you already have the embodied tools and wisdom to do so.

    Crippled America

    Crippled America

    Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag, op een klein vlekje op de titelpagina na, nog zo goed als nieuw.

    Look at the state of the world right now. It’s a terrible mess, and that’s putting it mildly. There has never been a more dangerous time. The politicians and special interests in Washington, DC, are directly responsible for the mess we are in. So why should we continue listening to them?

    It’s time to bring America back to its rightful owners—the American people.

    I’m not going to play the same game politicians have been playing for decades—all talk, no action, while special interests and lobbyists dictate our laws. I am shaking up the establishment on both sides of the political aisle because I can’t be bought. I want to bring America back, to make it great and prosperous again, and to be sure we are respected by our allies and feared by our adversaries.

    It’s time for action. Americans are fed up with politics as usual. And they should be! In this book, I outline my vision to make America great again, including: how to fix our failing economy; how to reform health care so it is more efficient, cost-effective, and doesn’t alienate both doctors and patients; how to rebuild our military and start winning wars—instead of watching our enemies take over—while keeping our promises to our great veterans; how to ensure that our education system offers the resources that allow our students to compete internationally, so tomorrow’s jobseekers have the tools they need to succeed; and how to immediately bring jobs back to America by closing our doors to illegal immigrants, and pressuring businesses to produce their goods at home.

    This book is my blueprint for how to Make America Great Again. It’s not hard. We just need someone with the courage to say what needs to be said.
