Strijd om de rivieren
Dit rijk geïllustreerd historisch overzicht van de hand van Rijkswaterstaat leidt de lezer langs tweehonderd jaar rivierbeheer. Grote beleidsmatige trends zijn afgezet tegen een maatschappelijke achtergrond. Onderwerpen die voorbij komen zijn: verlaagde dijkvakken (overlaten) voor 1850; normalisatie en dijkverhoging; grote vaarwegprojecten zoals de Nieuwe Waterweg en de Bergse Maas tussen 1850 en 1990; en ruimte voor water, met als concreet programma Ruimte voor de Rivier na 1995. Hoe zijn deze trends en omslagen te verklaren? Hoe was de wisselwerking met de maatschappelijke context? Biedt daarop een nieuwe visie, die een verkorte en leesbare versie is van een Delfts proefschrift

A Brown Man in Russia
A Brown Man in Russia describes the fantastical travels of a young, colored American traveler as he backpacks across Russia in the middle of winter via the Trans-Siberian. The book is a hybrid between the curmudgeonly travelogues of Paul Theroux and the philosophical works of Robert Pirsig. Styled in the vein of Hofstadter, the author lays out a series of absurd, but true stories followed by a deeper rumination on what they mean and why they matter. Each chapter presents a vivid anecdote from the perspective of the fumbling traveler and concludes with a deeper lesson to be gleaned. For those who recognize the discordant nature of our world in a time ripe for demagoguery and for those who want to make it better, the book is an all too welcome antidote. It explores the current global climate of despair over differences and outputs a very different message – one of hope and shared understanding. At times surreal, at times inappropriate, at times hilarious, and at times deeply human, A Brown Man in Russia is a reminder to those who feel marginalized, hopeless, or endlessly divided that harmony is achievable even in the most unlikely of places.

A Burglar of the Better Sort
A Burglar of the Better Sort offers, in the English translation of Charles S. Kraszewski, the entirety of Czyżewski's surviving literary output, from surrealistic plays like Donkey and Sun in Metamorphosis and his inimitable 'formistic poems' through the playful Christmas 'pastorals' -- which so delighted Czeslaw Milosz -- to his theoretical writings, which form the basis for his radically individual, shamanistic approach to literary creation. A truly global talent, Czyżewski belongs to the world, a world which, beyond Poland, finally has the opportunity to get to know him.
Pacific Presences
Hundreds of thousands of works of art and artefacts from many parts of the Pacific are dispersed across European museums. They range from seemingly quotidian things such as fish-hooks and baskets to great sculptures of divinities, architectural forms and canoes. These collections constitute a remarkable resource for understanding history and society across Oceania, cross-cultural encounters since the voyages of Captain Cook, and the colonial transformations that have taken place since. They are also collections of profound importance for Islanders today, who have varied responses to their disp.
