Europe within Reach
In Europe within Reach Gerrit Verhoeven traces some sweeping evolutions in the early modern travel behaviour of Dutch and Flemish elites (1585-1750), as the classical Grand Tour was slowly but surely overshadowed by other types of travelling. Leisure trips to Paris, London or Berlin, a cours pittoresque along the Rhine, domestic trips in the Low Countries and a series of other destinations gained ground, while new sorts of travellers cropped up: female and middle-class travellers, domestic servants, children, youngsters and the elderly. Verhoeven does not only trace these evolutions, but also explains why Netherlandish travellers gradually turned into art connoisseurs; why they were spellbound by sites of memory and by rugged landscapes; or why all sorts of fashionable gadgets and thingies were bought on the way.
Pleasant Places
"Gibson's multilayered exploration of the rustic landscape enhances our understanding of the Golden Age in Dutch art, and his evocative language recalls a countryside now largely gone. At the same time, this illustrated book gracefully articulates the role of the Dutch rustic landscape in the history of landscape painting."--BOOK JACKET.
Colonial Spectacles
Dutch colonial presentations at the world exhibitions in the period 1880-1931 served to legitimize the Dutch imperialist project and highlight the problem of Dutch identity and the Netherlands' place in the world. At these exhibitions, the Netherlands showed off its colonies by erecting models of schools, sugar-factories, bridges, and railways exhibits, which were meant to give proof of the good works of modern colonial administration and enterprise. Not only were there displays of ethnographic objects, life-size temples and villages inhabited by authentic Javanese and Sumatrans were brought to Europe specifically for these expositions. Their presence took the viewer into an "Other" world that provided an "immediacy" for visitors to the exhibition. While these colonial spectacles helped legitimize Dutch imperialism project, they also provided lenses for understanding the colonial world as it was constructed according to the prevailing evolutionist worldview at the time.

'Het pryeel van Zeeland'
Buitenplaatsen bepaalden vroeger in sterke mate het landschap van Walcheren. Wat bewoog stedelingen in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw om een deel van het jaar buiten de stad te gaan wonen? Een belangrijke reden was vermaak, maar welke rol speelde het economische aspect? En hoe toonden eigenaren van buitenplaatsen hun aanzien, macht en smaak? Martin van den Broeke laat zien dat al deze factoren in wisselende mate een rol speelden in het buitenleven en hoe dit door de eeuwen heen veranderde. Van den Broeke onderscheidt drie zones rond de steden waar verschillende typen buitenhuizen voorkomen. Nooit eerder zijn buitenplaatsen zo uitgebreid in hun landschappelijke en sociale omgeving beschreven. Dit boek geeft een rijk geschakeerd beeld van twee eeuwen buitenplaatscultuur in het 'Het pryeel van Zeeland', waarvan we de sporen nog zien in het landschap, in de archieven en op talrijke fraaie illustraties.

Information Technology Ethics
This book focuses on how human interactions with technology and information systems could have important ethical implications for both businesses and society at large. By debating issues such as a law for robots, digital healthcare, and codes of conduct in the educational sector, this volume provides provocative insights which challenge students, scholars and anyone concerned with information in society to think critically and draw their own conclusions. Throughout the chapters brought together here, the authors offer relevant theoretical and empirical contributions, which relate to a variety of academic fields, including philosophy, law and management sciences. The subjects covered in the book will also appeal to a large audience from the human, social and economic sciences.
