Water
Floods are a fundamental part of Dutch history. Indeed, having ‘tamed’ the threats associated with living below sea level is part of Dutch national identity. In the cultural depictions of these devastating events, however, national pride at a certain collective resilience goes hand-in-hand with the collective trauma of exposed vulnerability. All too often, the Dutch were the losers in these battles against the elements. In a time of rising global sea levels, cultural scholar Lotte Jensen dives into the stories and images of the past to unpack this paradox for today. Over the centuries, large parts of the Netherlands have been progressively reclaimed from its river delta home. Throughout ...

Verbonden door rampspoed
De negentiende eeuw was een eeuw vol rampen. Catastrofale stormvloeden, rivieroverstromingen, explosies en stadsbranden: om de zoveel jaar vond er wel een ramp plaats die grote materiële schade aanrichtte en veel mensen het leven kostte. Toch leverde deze rampspoed ook iets anders op, namelijk gevoelens van nationale lotsverbondenheid. Verbonden door rampspoed brengt de manieren in kaart waarop negentiende-eeuwse Nederlanders tijdens grote rampen vorm en betekenis gaven aan nationale gevoelens. In gedichten en pamfletten bejubelden ze hun koningen, die vaak ruimhartig doneerden en de rampplek bezochten, als verbindende symbolen van de natie. Ze voelden medelijden met hun lijdende landgenote...

Since the launch of the Human Genome project in 1990, understanding molecular and clinical genetics has become an essential aspect of modern medical education. Solid knowledge of genetics is now crucial to a host of healthcare professionals, including primary care physicians, nurses and physician assistants. This third edition takes this information and incorporates it into a student-friendly format that focuses on the core concept of human genetics. Each chapter uses the same problem-based approach as the previous editions, and addresses the important role of genetics and disease by integrating molecular and clinical genetics.
Rampen
Rampen zijn bepalend geweest voor de geschiedenis van Nederland. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de Sint-Elisabethsvloed in 1421, toen mensen, dieren en dorpen verdronken. Het landschap veranderde voorgoed. Of aan de Bijlmerramp in 1992, toen een vliegtuig neerstortte in de Bijlmermeer. Er ging een schokgolf door het hele land. De publieke reactie op rampen volgt opvallend vaak eenzelfde stramien, al zijn er natuurlijk ook verschillen. Al eeuwenlang zoeken burgers in tijden van rampspoed houvast in culturele en religieuze rituelen. Ze organiseren liefdadigheidsactiviteiten, benefietconcerten en herdenkingen. De media sturen, steeds meer, de waarneming en publiceren sensationele verhalen over slachtoff...
Information and Power in History
The relationship between information and power is a relevant subject for all times. Today’s perceived ‘information revolution’ has caused information to become a separate object of study during the last two decades for several disciplines. As the contemporary perspective is dominant, information history as a discipline of its own has not yet crystallized. In bringing together studies around a new research agenda on the relationship between information and power across time and space, presenting various governance regimes, media, materials, and modes of communication, this book forces us to rethink the prospects and challenges for such a new discipline.
