Ted Van Doorn: a Memoir
An eyewitness account - Ted Van Doorn was raised in a typical Japanese house-hold (by a Dutch father); was a soldier in the Imperial Army (who silently rooted for an Allied victory); and a prisoner of a Siberian gulag (who later became an employee of the American Occupation forces). Van Doorn vividly recounts a childhood and young adulthood lived in the most turbulent and transformative years of modern Japan's history, from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, which left 140,000 people dead, to the country's epic involvement in World War II and its uncertain aftermath. Ted van Doorn was well known for his 30 years as founder of Vandor Imports in San Francisco, leading the gift and housewares industry in the USA with design and élan. Even those who knew him well had no idea of his remarkable past, and it was his last act to reveal his earlier life in this memoir.

Women Shaping Islam
In the United States, precious little is known about the active role Muslim women have played for nearly a century in the religious culture of Indonesia, the largest majority-Muslim country in the world. While much of the Muslim world excludes women from the domain of religious authority, the country's two leading Muslim organizations--Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)--have created enormous networks led by women who interpret sacred texts and exercise powerful religious influence. In Women Shaping Islam, Pieternella van Doorn-Harder explores the work of these contemporary women leaders, examining their attitudes toward the rise of radical Islamists; the actions of the authoritarian Soeharto regime; women's education and employment; birth control and family planning; and sexual morality. Ultimately, van Doorn-Harder reveals the many ways in which Muslim women leaders understand and utilize Islam as a significant force for societal change; one that ultimately improves the economic, social, and psychological condition of women in Indonesian society.

Huis Doorn
De expositie 'Tusschen Twee Vuren' op het terrein van Huis Doorn is de eerste permanente tentoonstelling in Nederland over de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De publicatie 'De Grote Oorlog en het kleine Doorn' is een boekje bestemd voor bezoekers en andere belangstellenden, hoewel het geen catalogus is. Het geeft in korte hoofdstukken van jaar tot jaar het verloop van de oorlog, met nadruk op het Westfront. Het is overdadig geïllustreerd met relatief onbekend fotomateriaal uit de eigen collectie van de Duitse keizer Wilhelm II, die na de oorlog tot zijn dood in 1941 in Huis Doorn woonde. De teksten zijn merendeels accuraat, afgezien van enkele slordigheden. De illustraties geven een goed beeld van hoe de pronkzieke keizer zijn neus in allerhande zaken stak; vaak zien we hem op inspectie langs de fronten. Daarnaast bevat het boekje veel spotprenten en propagandaposters. De lezer krijgt ook een kijkje in de speciale collecties van Huis Doorn, zoals de uniformenkamer en de keizerlijke bibliotheek.
