E-book The Power of the Story

Right after the 2010 earthquake that rocked the Port-au-Prince region and killed many people, a big data competition began between states and in-ternational organizations involved in the relief eff ort. The journalists Rob-ert Muggah and Athena Kolbe, a year and half after the disaster, wrote that “in Haiti, fewer than 46,000 people were killed in the January 2010ear…

E-book North Korea : The Last Transition Economy

Insofar as available statistics allow for any such comparisons, some estimates suggest that North Korea’s rapid post-war industrialisation put it ahead of South Korea by the mid-1960s (Eichengreen et al., 2015). During the next three decades, however, South Korea grew very rapidly, far outpacing North Korea, where trend growth declined and turned negative as Soviet support ended and the terms…

E-book Vita Radbodi : Het Leven van Radboud

Over de eerste eeuwen van het christendom in het noorden van de Lage Landen valt weinig met zekerheid te zeggen. De school­boekjes van vroeger wilden de mensen nog wel doen geloven dat met de komst van missionarissen als Willibrord en Bonifatius de verspreiding van het christendom op Nederlandse bodem een beklonken zaak was. Maar historici vermoeden inmiddels dat …

Misteri Pusaka-pusaka Soeharto

Bagi Soeharto --penguasa orde baru selama lebih 32 tahun-- kekuasaan bukan hanya soal siasat meraup dukungan politik melalui penundukan, tetapi juga bagaimana membangun kharisma dan merawat kekuatan batin melalui benda-benda pusaka. Sebagai seorang Jawa, Soeharto menempatkan pusaka bukan sekadar sebagai benda seni, tetapi juga manifestasi dari eksistensi kedirian dalam meneguhkan kekuasaan yan…

E-book Modelling the Logistics of Mantzikert

E-book Language Dispersal Beyond Farming

Just as plant and animal lineages are not uniformly distributed around the world, the same is true for the distribution of language families. As of 2017 the Ethnologue list includes around 50 distinct language families covering 7099 living languages, some of which, like Austronesian, have spread over a huge geographical range while others, like Amuric, have only a single living member (i.e., Ni…

E-book Sugar Beet : A competitive innovation

After cutting into small fragments of their DNA, millions of reads of 100 bases in length and in both directions of reading (forward and reverse) were performed for each of the sixteen plants, also called accessions. Thus, for each accession, a library of short sequences of its genome was obtained. We could compare them to bags containing the pieces of a puzzle that must be assembled…

E-book Stories

Storytelling was clearly of major importance in the development of cinema and television, as well as new forms of printed and graphic media, during the early twentieth century. But even if these media were new (or, more accurately, new inf lections of existing screen and print forms), storytelling is as old and universal as any sense of consciousness, according to the neuroscientist, Antonio Da…

E-book Disturbing Times : Medieval Pasts, Reimagined Futures

These are disturbing times. Scholars in medieval and premod-ern studies are tired of explaining why, yet this labor continues to be performed by those who often have the least personal and professional security.1 A case in point here is Mary Rambaran-Olm, who consistently advocated, and with considerable risk for her own scholarly career and personal well-being, for the re-tire…

E-book Migrants shaping Europe, past and present

This comparative volume advances an argument about the sustained contribu-tion of migrants to Europe’s literatures, social cultures, and arts.Firstly, those named most often by others as “migrants” do not represent a sudden, unprecedented crisis, as pundits and politicians continue to claim, with successive waves of migration. Instead, people arriving in the Spanish enclaves in Morocco, l…

E-book Poems of 1890 : A Selection

In the same year he published his first Dutch poetry in the influential magazine De nieuwe gids (The New Guide). The journal, founded in 1885, was dominated at this period by the poet Willem Kloos (1859–1938), who used its pages to proclaim a radical aestheticism and advocate literature that was both non-sectarian and non-utilitarian. Poetry, Kloos famously asserted, was ‘the supremely indi…

E-book Poems of Guido Gezelle : A Billingual Anthology

Guido Gezelle, born in Bruges in 1830, left a varied œuvre as a man of letters, journalist, translator and populariser. But it is mainly as a poet that he occupies an illustrious position in the history of Dutch literature. He is undoubtedly the most innovative and original Flemish poet between 1680 and 1880. With his exceptional lyrical poetry he was some twenty years ahead of the renewal mov…
