‘A Truly Golden Handbook’
What would the ideal society of the future look like? In 1516, the eminent English humanist Thomas More tried his hand at imagining a perfect society on a distant island. His Utopia was published in the Flemish town of Leuven, home of a university that was established almost a century earlier. 500 years later, scholars of this university revisit More’s best-known work and reflect on the ideal society of the future, using the scientific insights of today, including perspectives which More could never have imagined. What will our cities look like a hundred years from now? How will stem cell research and 3D printing change the world? Will we be able to cure all diseases? Will we be traveling ...
Samen leven met dementie
Hoe kun je zinvol leven na de diagnose? Hoe ga je samen om met een evoluerende ziekte? Wat betekent een dementievriendelijke samenleving? We kunnen dementie nog niet genezen, maar er zijn wel veel manieren mogelijk om het leven met deze ziekte er beter op te maken. Mensen met dementie kunnen een leven leiden dat ze ervaren als zinvol en kwaliteitsvol. Er zijn ook allerlei vormen van ondersteuning beschikbaar voor hen én voor de mensen om hen heen. Samen leven met dementie bespreekt de uitdagingen en mogelijkheden op het vlak van levenskwaliteit, relaties, autonomie en beslissen. Het behandelt zowel evidente als minder evidente vragen van mantelzorgers, vrienden en familie: van omgaan met autorijden tot de financiële gevolgen van de dementiezorg. Dit boek biedt een brede kijk op een ziekte die ons allemaal raakt. Als samenleving kunnen we mensen met dementie op een waardige manier laten delen in onze menselijke omgang met elkaar, als we daarvoor kiezen.

Heterotopia and Globalisation in the Twenty-First Century
Can heterotopia help us make sense of globalisation? Against simplistic visions that the world is becoming one, Heterotopia and Globalisation in the Twenty-First Century shows how contemporary globalising processes are driven by heterotopian tension and complexities. A heterotopia, in Michel Foucault’s initial formulations, describes the spatial articulation of a discursive order, manifesting its own distinct logics and categories in ways that refract or disturb prevailing paradigms. While in the twenty-first century the concept of globalisation is frequently seen as a tumultuous undifferentiation of cultures and spaces, this volume breaks new ground by interrogating how heterotopia and gl...
Peacemaking and the Canon Law of the Catholic Church
This volume unites three disparate strands of historical and legal experience. Nearly from its beginning, the Catholic Church has sought to promote peace – among warring parties, and among private litigants. The volume explores three vehicles the Church has used to promote peace: papal diplomacy of international disputes both medieval and contemporary; the arbitration of disputes among litigants; and the use of the tools of reconciliation to bring about rapprochement between ecclesiastical superiors and those subject to their authority. The book concludes with an appendix exploring a wide variety of hypothetical, yet plausible scenarios in which the Church might use its good offices to repair breaches among persons and nations.

Richard Hutten
The Dutch designer Richard Hutten is barely 38 and has already made an indelible mark in the international design world. In 2008, if everything goes according to plan, a design academy carrying his name will open in Seoul. Orders for his contemporary version of the Berlage chair are difficult to keep up with, and his Domoor mug, Bronto chair and Zzzidt chair (also known as the "skippy") remain very successful. At the Central Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands, he has designed the restaurant, the garden furniture and the bookshop. Hutten's designs, or "works in use," as he likes to call them, are sought after by celebrities and colleagues alike, and several of his colleagues testify to their strong feelings about his oeuvre in this exceptional monograph: Jeffrey Bernett, Aaron Betsky, Humberto Campana, Konstantin Grcic, Masamichi Katayama, Karl Lagerfeld, Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders and many others. Paola Antonelli introduces.
