Utopia in Practice
This book is a collection of texts on one of China's boldest social experiments in recent years: the rural reconstruction project in Bishan.

The writings describe and criticize the social problems caused by China’s over-loading urbanization process and starts a a contemporary agrarianism and agritopianism discourse to resist the modernism and developmentalism doctrine which dominated China for more than a century, answering a global desire for the theory and action of the alternative social solution for today’s environmental and political crises.This practical utopian commune project ran for 6 years and caused a national debate on rural issues in China, when it was invited to be exhibited and presented abroad.

Gerard Heineken
Hij is de kern van de kleurrijke Heineken-geschiedenis, maar tegelijkertijd een grijze vlek: Gerard Adriaan Heineken (1841-1893). Stichter van het gelijknamige bierimperium, grootvader van Freddy Heineken en drijvende kracht achter de economische en culurele wederopbloei van Amsterdam die bekendstaat als de Tweede Gouden Eeuw. Wie was deze man? En waarom werd hij bijna tot de vergetelheid veroordeeld? Annejet van der Zijl kreeg toegang tot de familiearchieven en reconstrueerde het inspirerende en uiteindelijk ook dramatische levensverhaal van een van de grootste industriëlen in de Nederlandse geschiedenis. Zij ontdekte een negentiende-eeuwse success story vol lef, daadkracht en passie, maar ook de schaduwzijde van al die voorspoed: afgunst, chantagepogingen en schandaal. Gerard Heineken is het meeslepende verhaal van een visionair mens, die zijn familienaam groot maakte maar zelf zo goed als helemaal leek te zijn uitgewist. Met dit boek krijgt hij, honderdvijftig jaar nadat hij zijn stappen zette in de brouwerij, weer de plaats in de geschiedenis die hij verdient.
