Een echte ouder is een boek over verwantschap, over tegen de stroom in zwemmen en tegelijkertijd normaal willen zijn. De kinderen van Eke Krijnen hebben drie ouders: twee moeders en een vader. Hun gezin roept nogal eens vragen op: Hebben jullie kinderen dezelfde vader? Wie is nou de echte moeder? Hebben jullie ze op de natuurlijke manier verwekt? Soms vindt Eke die vragen komisch, soms storend en soms doen ze verdriet. In Een echte ouder onderzoekt Eke de heteronormatieve ideeën over het gezinsleven, familiebanden en ouderschap die vaak pas aan het licht komen wanneer een gezin niet aan het standaardplaatje lijkt te voldoen. Waarom zien we de ene ouder als een ‘echte’ ouder en de andere niet? Waarom zien we het ene gezin als ‘gewoon’ en het andere als bijzonder? Glashelder analyseert Krijnen wat ze aan queer culture over het gezinsleven tegenkomt, en voegt daar haar visies en ervaringen aan toe. Een echte ouder is een boek over verwantschap, over tegen de stroom inzwemmen en tegelijkertijd normaal willen zijn.
Why do people from similar backgrounds who read the same text construct different meanings? Is there a question behind every reading goal, such that reading is an interactive process of asking and answering of questions? Do people who believe that knowledge is dynamic construct meaning differently than those who believe that knowledge is certain? This volume addresses questions such as these and presents cutting edge research and theory that explores how readers determine text relevance (i.e., the different values they assign to information as they read), how relevance affects understanding, and the implications of these studies for theories of text comprehension. This volume documents in a ...

Approaching the settlement of our Moon from a practical perspective, this book is well suited for space program planners. It addresses a variety of human factor topics involved in colonizing Earth's Moon, including: history, philosophy, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, politics & policy, sociology, and anthropology. Each chapter identifies the complex, interdisciplinary issues of the human factor that arise in the early phases of settlement on the Moon. Besides practical issues, there is some emphasis placed on preserving, protecting, and experiencing the lunar environment across a broad range of occupations, from scientists to soldiers and engineers to construction workers. The book identifies utilitarian and visionary factors that shape human lives on the Moon. It offers recommendations for program planners in the government and commercial sectors and serves as a helpful resource for academic researchers. Together, the coauthors ask and attempt to answer: “How will lunar society be different?”

The report also analyzes the societal factors that drive the primarily male — but also female — perpetrators to commit violence against women in the region. For each stage and type of violence, the report critically reviews existing research from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, M...
