The notion of being freeborn republicans bound the eighteenth-century Dutch together. Yet beneath this general label, many fundamental differences existed. This book explores the varieties of eighteenth-century Dutch republicanism. It thereby significantly contributes to our understanding of a crucial period in the development of Dutch political thought.

De Beaufort

"Dit boek beschrijft de geschiedenis van de familie De Beaufort vanaf het moment dat de stamvader Pierre de Beaufort in 1613 in de Nederlanden arriveerde tot het overlijden in 1876 van zijn rechtstreekse afstammeling Pieter, die in 1868 in de adel werd opgenomen. In deze ruim 250 jaar wisten de opeenvolgende generaties tot hoge aanzien te komen, waardoor verheffing in de adeldom mogelijk werd. Dit kwam weinig voor bij families die geen deel uitmaakten van de heersende elite in de Republiek. Het verhaal van het geslacht De Beaufort wordt verteld in vier hoofdstukken, geografisch bepaald, waarin van iedere generatie de politieke, cultureel-sociale en financiƫle ontwikkeling wordt gevolgd. Het zelfbeeld van de familie en het richting geven aan de familie-identiteit door de jaren heen is daarbij leidinggevend. Deze interessante familiegeschiedenis vormt een mooie bijdrage aan de elitegeschiedenis."--Back cover.

Frogfishes

The authoritative expert's guide to fascinating frogfishes and their unusual lives. Winner of the PROSE Award for Best Single Volume Reference in Science by the Association of American Publishers Unique among the world's fishes, frogfishes display a bizarre combination of attributes and behaviors that make them a subject of fervent study. Through cunning and trickery, they turn would-be predators into prey; they "walk" across the ocean floor and jet-propel through open water; some lay their eggs in a floating mucoid mass, while others employ complex patterns of parental care; and they are certainly among the most colorful of nature's productions. In Frogfishes, two of the world's leading ang...
