September 2012Religion und Öffentlichkeit
by Eduardo Mendieta, Michael Adrian, Judith Butler, Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, Cornel West, Jonathan van Antwerpen
Lange Zeit hatte es den Anschein, als sei die Säkularisierung, also die schwindende Bedeutung des Religiösen, ein ebenso stabiler gesellschaftlicher Trend wie die Individualisierung und die Globalisierung. Doch spätestens seit dem 11. September erleben wir eine Renaissance der Religionen: Die Debatten um Kruzifixe in Schulen, die mediale Hysterie nach der Wahl Papst Benedikts XVI. und den Islam in Europa zwingen uns nun, die Bedeutung von Begriffen wie religiös und säkular und die öffentliche Rolle der Religion zu überdenken. Zu diesem Zweck fand im Oktober 2009 in New York eine Art Gipfeltreffen der Philosophie statt, an dem mit Judith Butler, Craig Calhoun, Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor und Cornel West fünf der wichtigsten Denkerinnen und Denker der Gegenwart teilnahmen. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Beiträge des Symposiums sowie die anschließende Diskussion.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

Business, Economics & LawSeptember 2016Forest Hydrology
Processes, Management and Assessment
by Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong
Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2019Radicalisation
A Marginal Phenomenon or a Mirror to Society?
by Noel Clycq, Christiane Timmerman, Dirk Vanheule, Rut Van Caudenberg, Stiene Ravn (eds)
Vital insights into the complex nature of the concept of radicalisationRadicalisation is a topical and a much-discussed concept in current European societies. Its use in policy and societal discourses, such as media coverage and educational contexts, is very sensitive. This thought-provoking collection of essays critically addresses the topic of radicalisation from different angles, combining discipline-specific insights from the fields of sociology, philosophy, history, religious studies, and media studies, with new empirical data. The authors step away from readily available explanations and rethink the notion of ‘the radical’. Rather than merely focusing on individuals or ideologies, they advocate for a contextual perspective that allows to consider the complex interaction between individuals, groups, and institutions, both at a national and international level. Radicalisation: A Marginal Phenomenon, or a Mirror to Society? provides the reader not only with much-needed knowledge of the complex nature of the concept of radicalisation, but also offers insights into the various ways radicalisation processes can be triggered, prevented, or addressed.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).ContributorsContributors: Rik Coolsaet (Ghent University), Stiene Ravn (University of Antwerp), Tom Sauer (University of Antwerp), Jessika Soors (KU Leuven), François Levrau (University of Antwerp), Janiv Stamberger (University of Antwerp), Ward Nouwen (University of Antwerp), Rut Van Caudenberg (University of Antwerp), Noel Clycq (University of Antwerp), Thomas Frissen (KU Leuven), Kevin Smets (Vrije Universiteit Brussel / University of Antwerp), Leen d’Haenens (KU Leuven), Kristof Verfaillie (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Sofie De Kimpe (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Marc Cools (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Karel Van Nieuwenhuyse (KU Leuven)

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2018Gender and Migration
A Gender-Sensitive Approach to Migration Dynamics
by Christiane Timmerman, Maria Lucinda Fonseca, Lore Van Praag, Sónia Pereira (eds)
The impact of gender on migration processes Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and across countries and/or regions, influencing the relationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to grasp the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migration gives evidence of the unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro and macro level, upon migrant’s lives and of migration on gender dynamics.

Historical fictionApril 2015Peter Paul. Rubens Leben
Biografischer Roman
by Blackader, Johanna
In a Europe in the grip of the 30/Year/War, the young Fleming Peter Paul Rubens is determined to revolutionize painting. In 1600 he travels from Antwerp to Italy to study the old masters. With his unorthodox paintings, populated by people of flesh and blood, he celebrates his first successes. But his rise is interrupted by the sudden death of his mother, causing him to return to the Spanish Netherlands and build a new life together with his wife, Isabella. His pictures, shocking and touching his audience, soon make him rich and famous all over Europe. His prestige grows so far that powerful people such as Maria de Medici want to be painted by him and the governor of the Spanish Netherlands eventually sends him to Spain and England as an ambassador. There, he is confronted with a seemingly unsolvable task: He must restore peace to a Europe torn apart by war. Witty and forcefully, this novel tells the story of one of the 17th century’s most remarkable geniuses.

September 2023The Exposition of 1 John and An Exposition upon Matthew V-VII
by William Tyndale, J. Christopher Warner
The Exposition of 1 John and An Exposition upon Matthew V-VII are William Tyndale’s two major exegetical writings, published respectively in 1531 and 1533 in Antwerp. By this period Tyndale’s English translations of the New Testament and Pentateuch had both been printed, and he was preparing a revised version of the former to be published in 1534. Among the books he produced in the interim are these verse-by-verse commentaries on St. John’s first epistle and on Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. In them Tyndale characteristically alternates between fierce polemics and solemn homilies that together, as has been claimed, amount to the most complete articulation of his theological positions. This volume replaces the nineteenth-century editions on which scholars and students have long relied by providing an original-spelling text of each Exposition with notes recording substantive textual variants in all sixteenth-century editions; an introduction and extensive commentary documenting, in particular, parallels and differences between the two texts and Tyndale’s other works, the works of Luther and other reform theologians, and the works of the Church Fathers and others; plus a comprehensive glossary, appendices, and indices.

An Art Gallery Mystery

When DJ Kelly and her fellow senior citizen partners at the Waterfront Art Gallery in downtown Seattle decide to take a vacation in Cannon Beach, Oregon, they have no clue that they will be immediately confronted with a skeletal hand buried on the beach, along with a mysterious box of rocks. As it turns out, the hand belongs to an infamous diamond thief who had robbed the Antwerp Diamond Center some years back and had escaped without detection.

But what has happened to the diamonds? What does the box of rocks have to do with the murder of the thief or the location of the diamonds? Does anyone know where the dead man has hidden them? The answer must lie in the mysterious box of KILLER ROCKS or does it? DJ is determined to find out.

March 2019Photography Performing Humor
by Liesbeth Decan, Mieke Bleyen (eds)
New perspectives on humor within photographyDespite the ubiquitous presence of photographic humor in art and popular media, the phenomenon has as yet received very little scholarly attention. Focusing on staged humor rather than on comic effects of snapshot photography, this volume brings together leading scholars in the field addressing humor performed in front of the camera, often specifically created for the camera, and the performative joke-work done by the medium itself. A first section explores how photography, due to its “shattering” qualities, turns into a privileged medium for eliciting humorous effects and how humor can be discerned within the photographic event. A second section discusses the toolbox of photographic trickery (photomontage, double exposure and cinematic movement) that allows photography to mock itself. The book closes with a section on photographic wit in conceptual art, both in canonized and more locally distinct practices.
