The Seventh Etching
A historic family drama based in and near 1640 Amsterdam, the wealthiest city on earth at the time, The Seventh Etching tells the story of two families over a one-year period. Both Griet and Johannes Verhoeven, farmers, in their early 20s and Jos and Myriam Broekhof, wealthy merchants in their 30s, face devastating losses that threaten their livelihoods and their marriages. After a major flood, Griet and Johannes attempt to rebuild two combined family farms a unique, promising inheritance that initially brought them together, but now overwhelms them. Myriam secretly sells her husbands valuable art collection to build a hidden monument to her deceased daughter. Jos suffers despair and defeat as he combs every corner of the city in his obsessive attempt to complete a set of playfully erotic etchings. It is a six-year old Gypsy orphan, Nelleke, who connects the two couples. Sprightly and spirited, Nelleke both delights and exasperates. Might this mysterious child have the power to heal struggling adults and find the permanent home she seeks? Does she, innocently and unknowingly, hold the clue to the missing etching, as Jos suspects?
Holding Patterns: Air Transport and Foreign Policy in the Netherlands
Although air transport is indispensable to modern society, we know little about the diplomatic efforts that establish airline services. Nonetheless, aviation features prominently in the spectrum of international relations: in conflicts between states, for example, the suspension of landing rights is one of the first acts to symbolize serious discord. In tracing the unique cooperation between government and industry, this historical study underscores aviation as a prominent, but understudied topic in Dutch foreign relations.

Son of a Sea Cook Cookbook
The position of cook aboard a private yacht most often falls upon the marriage partner of the owner/captain and too often it is assumed that the skills acquired in the home kitchen will suffice afloat. Perhaps for day and the occasional overnight trips that might be true, but if you plan to venture farther afield, or afloat, there are far more factors to consider - provisioning, storage, meal planning, efficiently equipping the galley, preparing meals in much more confined space and without the readily available materials that you would have in the shore based kitchen, and last but not least, safety. Son of a Sea Cook provides the first time and even the experienced ship's cook with the necessary knowledge that with experience will become the skills to be a valued and sought after member of the crew.

Ser cuerpo
Cómo repensar el trabajo, la educación, el deporte, la arquitectura, el diseño, la moda, la salud y la espiritualidad desde el punto de vista del cuerpo. La cada vez mayor difusión de las prácticas corporales basadas en la percepción del cuerpo desde su interior está develando escenarios diferentes e inesperados en todos los campos. Gran parte de las dificultades que encontramos al vivir nacen del hecho que es nuestro ser el que se adapta a la vida que llevamos, y no lo contrario. El motivo de esto es que el proyecto de nuestra existencia no lo lleva a cabo nuestro cuerpo, sino nuestra mente, que se basa en abstracciones tranquilizadoras: simples, plausibles y erradas. ¿Sería posible volver a diseñar los distintos aspectos de nuestra vida a partir de nuestra realidad neurológica y corporal, en vez de a partir de las ideas abstractas elaboradas por la mente? Ser el cuerpo es un texto complementario a Pensar con el cuerpo dirigido a quien desea comprender cómo nuestra vida podría ser repensada en la práctica desde una "perspectiva corporal", es decir desde una perspectiva que sostenga, en vez de penalizar, aquello que somos.
The Rise of Dirck Becker
Book Three of Amsterdam Trilogy While following his obsessive search for an intriguing orphan girl he met ten years earlier, a seventeenth-century Dutch youth struggles with a mystifying, rare, natural gift. Will he use it to improve the world, or for personal gain? Will his revelation of the gift endear him to Nelleke or frighten her away? Praise for Amsterdam Trilogy Book One The Seventh Etching Thrillinggrippingblends the detective, the dramatic, and the historical as it whisks the reader through one year of an obsessive, fast-paced quest for a missing, playfully sensual work of art in seventeenth-century Amsterdam. Lodewijk J. Wagenaar, University of Amsterdam, former curator of The Amsterdam Museum. Book Two The New Worlds of Isabela Caldern If a trilogy can be compared to a symphony, this second movement flows like an andante cantabile. It develops multiple themes in different parts of the seventeenth-century world and weaves them beautifully together. The rhythm is mesmerizing,and the images of various cultures impinging on each other are wondrous,clear, and precise, like the Dutch paintings of those times. Maarten de Haan, CEO and founder of Opternity.
