Download or read book Drukwerk written by Karel Martens and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karel Marten's work occupies a unique place in the present European art and design landscape. While working in the tradition of Dutch modernism, he maintains distance from the main developments of his time: from both the practices of routinized Modernism and the facile reactions against it. His work is personal and experimental, while at the same time publicly answerable. This book presents Martens graphic design oeuvre in reproductions of startling fidelity, and described in informal captions. Printed on uncoated paper and Chinese-bound, the book itself has a compelling tactile quality. For this long-awaited second edition, twenty-four pages have been added to cover Marten's most recent work.
Download or read book A No Go Area in Dutch History written by Jurrie Reiding and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jurrie Reiding studied at Leiden University, graduated in organic chemistry and biochemistry (cum laude), and obtained his PhD at the same university for a study in physical organic chemistry (radical chain processes). For many years, he gave lessons at pre-university schools and wrote textbooks. For some years he was in the employ of Utrecht University (chemistry didactics). Between 1987 and 1997 he lectured at universities in Nicaragua (environmental chemistry) and Mozambique (basic chemistry and bio-organic chemistry). From 1970 to 1977 he was on the board of the Institute for Political and Social Research (IPSO) in Amsterdam, affiliated with the Communist Party of the Netherlands. The book deals, essentially, with an untold history of Dutch collaboration during the German occupation (1940-1945). Principally, the ruling class and its political institutions must be held accountable for this collaboration. Immediately after the defeat of the Dutch army in May 1940, the Dutch Queen and the ministers went into exile in London, while the rest of the ministries, headed by the Secretaries-General, remained in The Hague. Officially, the Government-in-exile joined the Allied Forces, but at the same time it allowed the administration in The Hague to establish cordial relations with the occupier, in order to safeguard a proper place for the Netherlands in the “New Europe” in case of a German victory. This policy of ‘backing two horses’ had to be abandoned at the turning of the year 1942/1943, when the prospect of an Allied victory began to dawn. Unfortunately, at that time a substantial part of the Dutch Jewish citizens had already been deported to the German extermination camps, effectively supported by the Dutch administration in The Hague. The ‘London’ Government did not make any attempt to call its subordinates in The Hague to order and made itself an accomplice in genocide.

Download or read book Outdoor Lighting Physics Vision and Perception written by Duco Schreuder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is based on the experience of the author. The experience is mainly the result of years of research, of consulting work, and in participation in policy decision making in many felds, most, but not all, related to outdoor lighting. To some degree, the book represents the preference of the author. The selection of the subjects is based on more than 50 years of experience of what is desirable to know for persons engaged in scientifc research or practical application in the felds of lighting and vision. The subjects deal with a number of fundamental aspects. The theorists must have them at their fngertips, whereas the practical engineers may assume them as known in their daily work. The selection of subjects is based in part by the questions that came to the author over the years, but even more by the preference of the author himself. In this respect, it is a personal book. Thus, it should be stressed that the book is not a ‘handbook’ or even a ‘textbook’; many subjects that commonly are treated in such books are not included here. Not because they lack importance, but because the author feels that they are adequately treated elsewhere. Some relevant works are mentioned in the References. Over the years, the author has been engaged in giving courses on vision and lighting, lately more in particular on Masterclasses on a post-graduate or post-doctorate level.

Download or read book Narratives of Low Countries History and Culture written by Jane Fenoulhet and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the ways in which our understanding of the past in Dutch history and culture can be rethought to consider not only how it forms part of the present but how it can relate also to the future. Divided into three parts – The Uses of Myth and History, The Past as Illumination of Cultural Context, and Historiography in Focus – this book seeks to demonstrate the importance of the past by investigating the transmission of culture and its transformations. It reflects on the history of historiography and looks critically at the products of the historiographic process, such as Dutch and Afrikaans literary history. The chapters cover a range of disciplines and approaches: some authors offer a broad view of a particular period, such as Jonathan Israel's contribution on myth and history in the ideological politics of the Dutch Golden Age, while others zoom in on specific genres, texts or historical moments, such as Benjamin Schmidt’s study of the doolhof, a word that today means ‘labyrinth’ but once described a 17th-century educational amusement park. This volume, enlightening and home to multiple paths of enquiry leading in different directions, is an excellent example of what a past-present doolhof might look like.

Download or read book The Dutch Empire between Ideas and Practice 1600 2000 written by René Koekkoek and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the intellectual history of the Dutch Empire from a long-term and global perspective, analysing how ideas and visions of empire took shape in imperial practice from the seventeenth century to the present day. Through a series of case studies, the volume critically unearths deep-rooted conceptions of Dutch imperial exceptionalism and shows how visions of imperial rule were developed in metropolitan and colonial contexts and practices. Topics include the founding of the Dutch chartered companies for colonial trade, the development of commercial and global visions of empire in Europe and Asia, the continuities and ruptures in imperial ideas and practices around 1800, and the practical making of empire in colonial court rooms and radio broadcasting. Demonstrating the relevance of a long-term approach to the Dutch Empire, the volume showcases how the intellectual history of empire can provide fresh light on postcolonial repercussions of empire and imperial rule. Chapter 1, Chapter 3, Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.
