The End of an Antibiotic Era
In this monograph, journalist Rinke van den Brink takes a closer look at the limitations and risks of today’s antibiotic use. Though all developed societies have grown accustomed to successfully treating bacterial infections with these wonder drugs, the author focuses on the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant infections. By examining recent mass outbreaks, readers will gain a better understanding of the global impact of antimicrobial resistance – one of the most serious public health threats today. Following this somewhat disquieting review of the status quo, interviews with a number of specialists provide an outlook on possible solutions. In a world that is more connected than ev...
Inside the Radical Right
What explains the cross-national variation in the radical right's electoral success over the last several decades? Challenging existing structural and institutional accounts, this book analyzes the dynamics of party building and explores the attitudes, skills and experiences of radical right activists in eleven different countries. Based on extensive field research and an original data set of radical right candidates for office, David Art links the quality of radical right activists to broader patterns of success and failure. He demonstrates how a combination of historical legacies and incentive structures produced activists who helped party building in some cases and doomed it in others. In an age of rising electoral volatility and the fading of traditional political cleavages, Inside the Radical Right makes a strong case for the importance of party leaders and activists as masters of their own fate.

When Is Free Speech Hate Speech?
Free speech is guaranteed under the First Amendment. Although it may hurt and offend, hate speech is still free, under most circumstances. But what happens when institutions like universities adopt policies prohibiting offensive speech? Do such policies cause more harm than good? Should measures be taken to curb threatening or insulting comments? Or does that amount to little more than censorship? Is our quest to be polite and politically correct curtailing opportunities to express, learn, and grow? When does free speech become criminally threatening? These questions and more are thoughtfully examined in this important resource.
A Family Occupation
A Family Occupation investigates Dutch-language texts by well-known authors which address the occupation and its aftermath in the lives of victims, collaborators, bystanders and Dutch internees in the prison-camps of Indonesia. It is the first English-language introduction to writings by and about the "Children of War" and their cultural context. Their themes and literary conventions throw an interesting light on the Dutch approach to issues such as guilt and innocence, memory and narrative, national identity, victimhood, child abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, amnesia and recovered memory.

Het menuet van Kondratieff
‘Het menuet van Kondratieff’ zijn dagboekreflecties over tijd en leven van een witte, westerse man, die driekwart eeuw met en in zich meedraagt. Het is de terugblik op een persoonlijke levensgeschiedenis, maar in verband gebracht met de maatschappelijke golfbeweging van de tweede helft van de 20ste en het begin van deze eeuw. ‘Levenstijd’ en ‘wereldtijd’ vallen te onderscheiden, maar staan zeker niet los van elkaar. Menselijk gedrag wordt ten dele bepaald door de zogenaamde Kondratieffs, de cyclisch economische bewegingen die in de tijdspanne van een halve eeuw ongeveer eenmaal op en neer gaan en die genoemd zijn naar de bedenker ervan, de Russische econoom Nikolai Kondratieff. Q...
