Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2022The power of citizens and professionals in welfare encounters
The influence of bureaucracy, market and psychology
by Nanna Mik-Meyer
This book is about power in welfare encounters. Present-day citizens are no longer the passive clients of the bureaucracy and welfare workers are no longer automatically the powerful party of the encounter. Instead, citizens are expected to engage in active, responsible and coproducing relationships with welfare workers. However, other factors impact these interactions; factors which often pull in different directions. Welfare encounters are thus influenced by bureaucratic principles and market values as well. Consequently, this book engages with both Weberian (bureaucracy) and Foucauldian (market values/NPM) studies when investigating the powerful welfare encounter. The book is targeted Academics, post-graduates, and undergraduates within sociology, anthropology and political science.

Children's & YAAugust 2020Lillicorn Leerzame avonturen in WooWoo Land
by Lisa Moss, Dr. Thomas Bernard, Rikky Schrever, Ayelen Lamas, Bram Hartman
The Adventures of Lillicorn series is designed to introduce little engineers and budding computer scientists to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills such as structured problem solving, creative thinking, pattern recognition and coding within a playful, imaginative and interactive way. Featuring a young curious heroine, who has a passion for science and coding, and loves to find creative solutions on her many quests. The story inspires 4 to 8-year-old children to be adventurous and explore faraway places, and encourages them to use their scientific ‘brain smarts,’ to solve a series of fun STEM educational activities. Meet Lilli, a fearless little girl, who loves to conceive new experiments and inventions. In her dreams at night, she transforms into Lillicorn, a superhero, where she teams up with friends, including the reader, to travel to distant lands, and figure out innovative solutions that save the day! The rhyming story books are designed so that children can solve ten different STEM quests and earn charm tokens (provided in the book). It’s an exciting way for children to learn fundamental STEM skills (e.g. abstraction, coding, pattern recognition, etc.) at an early age, as well as develop 21st century learning skills (the 4Cs – critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication). De Avonturen van Lillicorn wil de volgende generatie leiders in STEM-vaardigheden (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) inspireren door een jonge nieuwsgierige heldin met een passie voor wetenschap en die graag creatieve oplossingen zoekt voor haar vele speurtochten. Het verhaal inspireert kinderen van 4 tot 8 jaar om op avontuur te gaan en verre streken te verkennen, en moedigt hen aan om hun 'wetenschappelijke intelligentie' te gebruiken om een reeks leuke, leerzame STEM-activiteiten op te lossen. Maak kennis met Lilli, een onverschrokken klein meisje, dat geïntrigeerd is door de wetenschap en graag nieuwe experimenten en uitvindingen bedenkt. 's Nachts in haar dromen verandert ze in Lillicorn, een superheld, waar ze samen met vriendjes, inclusief de lezer, naar verre landen reist en innovatieve oplossingen bedenkt om de boel te redden! Het rijmende verhalenboek is zo ontworpen dat kinderen tien verschillende STEM-opdrachten kunnen oplossen en fiches kunnen verdienen (in het boek). Het is een stimulerende manier voor kinderen om al op jonge leeftijd fundamentele STEM-vaardigheden en onderzoekend leren te leren (bijv. abstractie, ruimtelijke perceptie, patroonherkenning, enz.) en om leervaardigheden geschikt voor de 21ste eeuw te ontwikkelen (de 4 belangrijkste - kritisch denken, samenwerking, creativiteit en communicatie).
