Forms and Concepts
Forms and Concepts is the first comprehensive study of the central role of concepts and concept acquisition in the Platonic tradition. It sets up a stimulating dialogue between Plato’s innatist approach and Aristotle’s much more empirical response. The primary aim is to analyze and assess the strategies with which Platonists responded to Aristotle’s (and Alexander of Aphrodisias’) rival theory. The monograph culminates in a careful reconstruction of the elaborate attempt undertaken by the Neoplatonist Proclus (6th century AD) to devise a systematic Platonic theory of concept acquisition.
Histories of Exhibition Design in the Museum
Histories of Exhibition Design in the Museum: Makers, Process, and Practice offers a new model for understanding exhibition design in museums as a human and material process. It presents diverse case studies from around the world, from the nineteenth century to the recent past. It moves beyond the power of the finished exhibition over both objects and visitors to highlight historic exhibition making as an ongoing task of adaptation, experimentation, and interaction that involves intellectual, creative, and technical choices. Attentive to hierarchies of ethnicity, race, class, gender, sexuality, and ableism that have informed exhibition design and its histories, the volume highlights the labo...
Anceaux's Glasses
In 1959 nam professor Anceaux, een bekend Nederlands taalkundige, deel aan de laatste Nederlandse expeditie naar het binnenland van Nieuw-Guinea. Anceaux gaf zijn bril aan een Papoea. Expeditieleider Brongersma maakte daar een foto van. Deze foto op de omslag van dit boek, kan opgevat worden als een symbool voor de westerse blik op andere culturen, maar ook hoe die anderen soms geamuseerd terugkeken. Vanaf het vroegste begin van de fotografie heeft het Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde te Leiden foto's van mensen en culturen uit de hele wereld verzameld. Ze zijn lang verborgen gebleven in de archieven. In dit boek is nu eindelijk een brede selectie uit de verzameling te zien: zeldzame beelden van niet meer bestaande of inmiddels grondig veranderde culturen. In bondige hoofdstukken schetst auteur en samensteller Linda Roodenburg, bijgestaan door vier gastauteurs, de omstandigheden waarin de opnamen gemaakt zijn. De koloniale verhoudingen, het antropologisch onderzoek, het exploiteren van exotische aantrekkingskracht, en de veranderende kijk op 'vreemde' volken. De tientallen paginagrote afbeeldingen spreken eigenlijk ook al voor zich zelf.

Handbook of Work Disability
This book addresses the developing field of Work Disability Prevention. Work disability does not only involve occupational disorders originating from the work or at the workplace, but addresses work absenteeism originating from any disorder or accident. This topic has become of primary importance due to the huge compensation costs and health issues involved. For employers it is a unique burden and in many countries compensation is not even linked to the cause of the disorder. In the past twenty years, studies have accumulated which emphasize the social causes of work disability. Governments and NGOs such as the World Bank, the International Labor Organization, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have produced alarming reports on the extent of this problem for developed and developing countries. However, no comprehensive book is presently available to help them address this emerging field where new knowledge should induce new ways of management.
Dutchtown
Almere, the Netherlands' newest town, took a significant step towards maturity with its recently completed city center, designed by Rem Koolhaas, leader of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.), the Netherlands' most internationally oriented architectural practice. Compared to such high-profile O.M.A. achievements as Euralille and Generic City, Koolhaas' scheme for Almere is an interesting departure as it succeeds both in the contexts of old Dutch towns and contemporary metropolitan design. The scheme for the Almere city center shows Koolhaas at work in the context of the old Dutch townscape and the dynamic of the "polder model": it shows how O.M.A absorbed Dutchness -- and still stuck to its principles. In addition to documenting the city center design, this book explores the design process involving the city, the property developers, and the project leaders. Also included are the designs made to flesh out the master plan, amongst them a theater by Kazuyo Sejima, housing by Claus & Kaan and Frits van Dongen, William Alsop's pop/rock center, Benthem Crouwel's business center, O.M.A.'s parking garages and cinema, and the public space design by DS Landschapsarchitecten.
