I Swear I Use No Art at All
This book displays and dissects the career and design motives of graphic designer Joost Grootens. In a systematic fashion it charts the first 100 books designed by Grootens over the past ten years. In the first chapter, '10 years', Grootens uses timelines, lists and graphs to map the course of his career as a designer, the people he worked with and the places where the work took place. In '100 books', the designer dissects his book designs. He details the grids, formats, paper stocks, colours and typefaces, and charts the books' structures and compositions. '18,788 pages' shows at actual size a selection of spreads from books designed by Grootens, including the internationally acclaimed atlases. In the text 'I swear I use no art at all' Joost Grootens gives a personal account of making books and the ideas behind his designs.

Chosen Legacies
The urge for regional identity has not declined in the process of globalization. Rather, heritage is used to develop regional distinctiveness and to charge identities with a past. Particularly helpful for this aim are creation stories, Golden Ages or recent, shared traumas. Some themes such as the Roman era or the Second World War appear easier to appropriate than, for example, prehistory. This book assesses the role of heritage in the construction of regional identities in Western Europe. It contains case studies on early medieval heritage in Alsace and Euregio-Meuse Rhine, industrial heritage in the German Ruhr area and competing memories in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region in the Netherlands. It presents new insights into the process of heritage production on a regional level in relationship to processes of identity construction. The theoretical analysis of "heritage" and "regional identity" is innovative as these concepts were hardly analysed in relation to each other before. This book also offers insights into policy, tourism, spatial development and regional development to policymakers, politicians, designers and professionals in the heritage and tourism industries.
Secular Schooling in the Long Twentieth Century?
The twentieth-century process of secularization does not mean that institutional church and Christian ideas were irrelevant for twentieth-century societal projects - such as the introduction of democracy, the improvement of school and education, the framing of national identities - or in the establishment of welfare-states. On the contrary, this publication is built on the presupposition that secularization runs parallell with the sacralization of the state. It can be argued that Christianity has been decisive for how the modern European society evolved in the twentieth century, e.g. concerning how Christian history and Christian values were a part of the new national and social imaginary wh...

Werken met gevoel
Het beroep haptotherapeut vindt zijn oorsprong in het Nijmegen van de jaren vijftig, waar Frans Veldman de leer van de haptonomie ontwikkelt en de eerste opleiding start. Na Veldmans vertrek naar Frankrijk in 1980 ontstaan in Nederland diverse opleidingen, zowel voor haptonomie als voor de therapeutische toepassing daarvan: haptotherapie. Door de toename van het aantal haptotherapeuten groeit de behoefte aan profileren en professionaliseren. In 1993 wordt een beroepsvereniging opgericht: de Vereniging van Haptotherapeuten VVH. Twintig jaar later kennen haptotherapeuten onder meer een beroepscode en een klachtenregeling en worden hun behandelingen vergoed door zorgverzekeraars. Dit boek beschrijft de geschiedenis van het beroep en de beroepsvereniging als een turbulent proces van gedrevenheid en botsende visies. Na twintig jaar VVH lijkt de tijd rijp om verschillen te overbruggen en partijen weer met elkaar te verbinden.
