Vanwege deze positie, en om aan de vraag vanuit het Engelstalige onderwijs te voorzien, verschijnt nu deze geheel herziene, Engelstalige editie van het standaardwerk Ruimtelijke ordening.

The Randstad metropolitan region encompassing Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht in the western Netherlands is regarded worldwide as a model of a ‘successful’ polycentric metropolis. It is widely cited as an example of how a region of interconnected small cities can effectively compete globally by providing complementary functions which together match the power of large monocentric cities. The methods of strategic spatial planning, regional design and strategic projects that are said to underpin this polycentric metropolis are used as models for practitioners and students around the world. But is this high reputation deserved? Does the Randstad really function as a polycentric m...

'Urban vitality in Dutch and Chinese new towns' identifies the spatial and non-spatial factors and conditions that facilitate the development of urban vitality in new towns. It is aimed to reveal the impacts of spatial design, urban planning and governance approaches on the degree and patterns of local urban life of new towns in China and in the Netherlands, based on a comparative study of two cases: Almere in the north wing of the Randstad region in the Netherlands and Tongzhou in the metropolitan region of Beijing in China. In theory, economic, social and cultural urban life constitutes urban vitality. The study does not intend to tackle the economic and sociological concepts in themselves, but to focus on the interrelationships between space and society.
After a brief investigation in 1945, a British secret agent concluded that Hitler and Braun committed suicide together in the Führerbunker in Berlin shortly before the fall of the German capital and were cremated immediately afterwards, although he had no concrete evidence to support this hypothesis. Nevertheless, this has been the official version ever since. Between 1945 and 2009, however, testimony and evidence began to emerge that suggested otherwise. Luc Vanhixe, criminologist and retired senior-level officer of the Belgian Federal Police, conducted a seven-year modern police investigation into the death of this notorious couple, based on all the original data and traces. And as unlikely as it may sound, this investigation shows with absolute certainty that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun did not die together in the Berlin Führerbunker on April 30, 1945.
In The European Encounter with Hinduism Jan Peter Schouten offers an account of European travellers coming into contact with the Hindu religion in India. From the thirteenth century on, both traders and missionaries visited India and encountered the exotic world of Hindus and Hinduism. Their travel reports reveal how Europeans gradually increased their knowledge of Hinduism and how they evaluated this foreign religion. Later on, although officials of the colonial administration also studied the languages and culture of India, it was – contrary to what is usually assumed – particularly the many missionaries who made the greatest contribution to the mapping of Hinduism.
Rechercheur Mike Mulcahy zit eindelijk op zijn plek bij de politie van Dublin, bij de afdeling internationale Samenwerking. Dan vraagt journaliste Siobhan Fallon zijn hulp bij het opsporen van een vermiste vrouw - de vriendin van een rijke makelaar die net onder verdachte omstandigheden zelfmoord heeft gepleegd.

Siobhan en hij kunnen nog niet vermoeden dat de drie zaken niet alleen verband houden met elkaar, maar ook met de komst van een beruchte huurmoordenaar uit Colombia. Samen raken ze verwikkeld in een bloedstollende jacht op een moordenaar die geen enkel middel schuwt om de enige die de waarheid kent voor altijd het zwijgen op te leggen?
