The Art of Law
The contributions to this volume were written by historians, legal historians and art historians, each using his or her own methods and sources, but all concentrating on topics from the broad subject of historical legal iconography. How have the concepts of law and justice been represented in (public) art from the Late Middle Ages onwards? Justices and rulers had their courtrooms, but also churches, decorated with inspiring images. At first, the religious influence was enormous, but starting with the Early Modern Era, new symbols and allegories began appearing. Throughout history, art has been used to legitimise the act of judging, but artists have also satirised the law and the lawyers; architects and artisans have engaged in juridical and judicial projects and, in some criminal cases, convicts have even been sentenced to produce works of art. The book illustrates and contextualises the various interactions between law and justice on the one hand, and their artistic representations in paintings, statues, drawings, tapestries, prints and books on the other.
Managing for performance excellence
Managing for Performance Excellence provides practitioners with an integrative framework that highlights the key ingredients of an effective approach to performance management. It describes the formal process of planning, measuring and monitoring performance that companies need to develop as the first step towards becoming a highperforming organisation. As the numerous examples show, a well-functioning process by itself does not guarantee enduring success. Based on an in-depth analysis of real-life situations, the authors draw attention to potential pitfalls and highlight four concrete performance management challenges that companies need to address: clear strategic focus; engaging climate; collaborative structure; and solid information infrastructure. Performance management is examined from a number of different perspectives, with ample illustrations and practical guidelines against which readers can benchmark their own organisations. These insights are a product of the multidisciplinary pool of expertise present at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School; a school renowned for its successful mix of academic knowledge and business relevance.
Management and Engineering of Critical Infrastructures
Management and Engineering of Critical Infrastructures focuses on two important aspects of CIS, management and engineering.

Various examples in agriculture, the water supply, public health, transportation, security services, electricity generation, telecommunication, and financial services can be used to substantiate dangers. Disruptions of CIS can have serious cascading consequences that would stop society from functioning properly and result in loss of life...
Explaining Health Across the Sciences
This edited volume aims to better understand the multifaceted phenomenon we call health. Going beyond simple views of health as the absence of disease or as complete well-being, this book unites scientists and philosophers. The contributions clarify the links between health and adaptation, robustness, resilience, or dynamic homeostasis, and discuss how to achieve health and healthy aging through practices such as hormesis. The book is divided into three parts and a conclusion: the first part explains health from within specific disciplines, the second part explores health from the perspective of a bodily part, system, function, or even the environment in which organisms live, and the final p...

Peaks of Europe
Peaks of Europe' is not a traditional landscape photography book. It's the result of a 5-month adventure across 17 countries told through the lens of a European travel photographer who took 29 years to finally explore the continent on which in he was born. The book has been designed for a specific purpose: telling the story of a 5-month road trip and what it takes to be living out of a car for several months, with all the good and bad moments. For this project, Johan Lolos wasn't just documenting the landscapes. This book features a series of photos with a focus on the storytelling as much as the imagery. At the end, the people he met were what he remembered most.
