        Het jaar dat de muur viel

        De val van het communisme in het Oostblok

        by Jule Hinrichs

        November 2014 saw the quarter-century anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, one of the most poignant events in the past century. The inhabitants of Berlin broke the graffiti-covered concrete down with hammers or pickaxes and climbed over the wall. The historic milestone was followed on televisions around the world. After forty years of separation between communism and capitalism, the Iron Curtain opened on November 9th 1989. Which economic and political developments preceded this event? The arrival of Gorbachev in 1985 ushered in the Glasnost period. With this, hope for more liberty of action in Eastern Europe grew in satellite states such as Poland and Hungary. In 1989, the Communists in Hungary decided to hold free elections. In the summer of that year, the same happened in Poland. That same summer, the Hungarians began to remove the barbed wire at the Hungarian-Austrian border. Through this gap, East Germans fled en masse from Hungarian campsites to the West. It was the prelude to the dramatic decision of the GDP to open the border on November 9th 1989.

        De wereld vanuit een luchtballon

        by Robert Verhoogt

        The invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 caused a sensation which would last for more than a century. The great aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his fellow pioneers were followed by many others, whose lift-off attracted masses of people again and again. The subsequent “balloon mania” created a new element in cultural history: the third dimension, reflected in the literary and visual arts as well as in high culture and popular imagination. Scenes from a Balloon skilfully endeavours to reconstruct the sensation the balloon caused in cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. After Thomas Baldwin produced the first image from a balloon in 1785, reproduction of remarkable prints, paintings, and photographs gained widespread popularity. Balloons inspired well-known photographers and artists, including Nadar, Spelterini, Goya, Manet, Daumier, and Redon, but they also led to a wealth of arts & crafts and popular souvenirs. The adventures of Blanchard, Nadar and other balloonists were a source of inspiration for popular writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain.

        Seks, drugs en rock en roll in de gouden eeuw

        by Benjamin Roberts

        In Seks, Drugs en Rock 'n' Roll in de Gouden Eeuw (‘Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Golden Age’), historian Benjamin B. Roberts paints a fascinating portrait of the lives of young men int he first half of the seventeenth century. He describes the riotous behaviour of prominent figures such as Rembrandt – born in 1606 – and brings the values of his rebellious peers to life. Roberts convincingly demonstrates that young men rebelled then as they do now, and moved against previous generations. They grew out their hair, wore outrageous clothes, smoked, drank too much, got into fights with the city guards, cheated, and sang bawdy songs. This accessibly written book paints a vivid portrait of youth culture in the Golden Age; a time when the advent of printing allowed for a rapid spread of a culture of permissiveness. The spread of liberal ideas, together with the rising incomes, created a new generation of ‘bad boys’. Using hilarious examples, Roberts shows that deviant behaviour is timeless.

        by Merlijne Marell

        He was there all of a sudden, and didn’t just leave again. He went up to Grandmother to introduce himself, that much he understood. “Jacques Rogue is my name. You better keep an eye on me.” And that’s what Grandmother did. She made sure he ate his vegetables. And saw to it that he behaved. She kept him from going out all by himself. But a villain goes where he should not. Besides, he preferred meat to vegetables. Jacques Rogue had already noticed that there was more to gain outside! When Grandmother dozed off that afternoon, he went out to meet the goats. In Jacques Rogue and the 7 goats Merlijne Marell takes you to a world of fables, with fertile red cabbages, spying rhubarb leaves and biting brambles.

        Antisemitisme - een 21e eeuwse geschiedenis

        by Remco Ensel

        Where does freedom of speech end and do insults, threats, and hate speech begin? Why does a rapper sing that more Muslims than Jews were killed during the Holocaust? This book addresses the 21st century wave of anti-Semitic incidents in the streets and on the internet, the distortions of historic commemoration in our country and the problems with education about the Holocaust. It is an incisive analysis of a multicultural drama in which anti-Jewish statements play a crucial role. By going back in time, Remco Ensel puts the new anti-Semitism in the context of post-war history of protest and provocation. From the student protests in the sixties to the Second Intifada, from ‘zionazi’ to ‘Adolf Sharon’, the Rushdie affair to Mohammed B. The book is based on extensive archival research in Morocco and the Netherlands and on conversations with journalists and politicians, such as Bertus Hendriks, Job Cohen, Elatik Fatima Ahmed Marcouch, Ronny Naftaniel and many others.

        De sublieme eenvoud van relativiteit

        Een visuele inleiding

        by Sander Bais

        Bais wrote a cute pictorial monograph that smoothly takes you to the very heart of the theory that shook the foundations of science a century ago. Einstein’s 1905 papers on special relativity marked a turning point in our understanding of such fundamental notions a space, time, mass and energy. In an elegant sequence of easy to follow steps through a splendid series of spacetime diagrams Sander Bais gives you the thrill of discovering Einstein’s sublime but extremely counter intuitive reality yourself. The chapters cover subjects like , the postulates, simultaneity, causality, contractions and dilations, and energy and momentum. Discover in a pictorial way why moving clocks run slow, why things cannot move faster then the speed of light, or why mass and energy are equivalent… A delightful journey for the curious mind, the critical student, and the teacher who wants to inspire, but also for all those who want to recapture this beautiful body of knowledge. This book is not as much a philosophical or historical reflection on special relativity, as a manual that with a few words brings you the essential contents of this unique theory. A guided tour full of thought provoking riddles, paradoxes and brainteasers that might keep you awake, fortunately their many back-of- the-envelope resolutions are also included. This book is as close to a do-it-yourself relativity kit as you can get. The author nicely exploits the fact that one image can say a lot more than a full page of algebra, and where algebra is hard to remember some of Bais’ diagrams are hard to forget.
