The Passage to Europe
As financial turmoil in Europe preoccupies political leaders and global markets, it becomes more important than ever to understand the forces that underpin the European Union, hold it together and drive it forward. This timely book provides a gripping account of the realities of power politics among European states and between their leaders. Drawing on long experience working behind the scenes, Luuk van Middelaar captures the dynamics and tensions shaping the European Union from its origins until today. It is a story of unexpected events and twists of fate, bold vision and sheer necessity, told from the perspective of the keyplayers – from de Gaulle to Havel, Thatcher to Merkel. Van Middelaar cuts through the institutional complexity by exploring the unforeseen outcomes of decisive moments and focusing on the quest for public legitimacy. As a first-hand witness to the day-to-day actions and decisions of Europe’s leaders, the author provides a vivid narrative of the crises and compromises that united a continent. By revisiting the past, he sheds fresh light on the present state of European unification and offers insights into what the future may hold.

Nummers die een ziel hebben
Verzetsstrijder Mom Wellenstein was tweeëntwintig jaar oud toen hij, in maart 1942, werd geïnterneerd in Kamp Amersfoort, een `gemeen kamp van de nazis. Een half jaar verbleef hij daar, en werd toen vrijgelaten. Meteen daarna begon hij alles wat hij had meegemaakt op te schrijven. Tijdens de oorlog nog voltooide hij zijn manuscript, dat in de illegaliteit ging circuleren. Een exemplaar ervan is recentelijk teruggevonden. De tekst is zo indringend helder, beschouwend, filosofisch, soms met ingehouden woede dat hij nu, bijna zonder wijzigingen, integraal wordt uitgegeven. Wellenstein heeft oog voor detail, waardoor het dagelijkse kampleven pijnlijk duidelijk voorstelbaar wordt. Het manuscript is gevonden door Maurits Nibbering, voormalig directeur van Kamp Amersfoort, en werd door hem geredigeerd, samen met Edmond Wellenstein en Karel Kreuning.

The State of Open Data
It’s been ten years since open data first broke onto the global stage. Over the past decade, thousands of programmes and projects around the world have worked to open data and use it to address a myriad of social and economic challenges. Meanwhile, issues related to data rights and privacy have moved to the centre of public and political discourse. As the open data movement enters a new phase in its evolution, shifting to target real-world problems and embed open data thinking into other existing or emerging communities of practice, big questions still remain. How will open data initiatives respond to new concerns about privacy, inclusion, and artificial intelligence? And what can we learn from the last decade in order to deliver impact where it is most needed? The State of Open Data brings together over 60 authors from around the world to address these questions and to take stock of the real progress made to date across sectors and around the world, uncovering the issues that will shape the future of open data in the years to come.
Vrijheid achter de horizon

Electron Impact Ionization
It is perhaps surprising that a process which was one of the first to be studied on an atomic scale, and a process which first received attention over seven decades ago, continues to be the object of diverse and intense research efforts. Such is the case with the (seemingly) conceptually simple and familiar mechanism of electron impact ionization of atoms, molecules, and ions. Not only has the multi-body nature of the collision given ground to theoretical effort only grudgingly, but also the variety and subtlety of processes contributing to ionization have helped insure that progress has come only with commensurate work: no pain - no gain. Modern experimental methods have made it possible to effectively measure and explore threshold laws, differential cross sections, partial cross sections, inner-shell ionization, and the ionization of unstable species such as radicals and ions. In most instances the availability of experimental data has provided impetus and guidance for further theoretical progress.
Max Kohnstamm
Biography of the Dutch diplomat who, after surviving the horrors of World War II, worked with Jean Monnet for nearly 30 years to create the foundations of the present-day European Union.
The Photomontages of Hannah Höch
Here, in the first comprehensive survey of her work by an American museum, authors Peter Boswell, Maria Makela, and Carolyn Lanchner survey the full scope of Hoch's half-century of experimentation in photomontage - from her politically charged early works and intimate psychological portraits of the Weimar era to her later forays into surrealism and abstraction.
