Born in the Dutch colony of New Guinea and raised in the Netherlands, Abraham de Kock spent his professional life travelling the world and working for the UN, rising to the position of acting country director of the World Food Programme in North Korea.

Fabio Bolzonar Catholicism and the Welfare State in Secular France
Continuities and Changes in the Catholic Mobilizations in the Social Policy Domain (1940-2017)
Even though the policy impact of Catholicism has increasingly been acknowledged, existing scholarship lacks a coherent view on its changing influence over time and in different political contexts. In this book, Fabio Bolzonar investigates the influence of Catholicism on developments in French social protection from World War II to the mid-2010s. He discusses the factors that have favoured or inhibited it and explores the hybridization between Catholic values and secular principles in the social engagement...

H.P. De Nooy van Tol | Dieuwke Reuvers | Elke Dens | Herman Toch Tourism is Dead. Long Live the Traveller
Tourism in transition
Travel tomorrow will be quite different from the tourist industry we know today. As of now, we experience a transition with fundamental changes. Even though this may at times be disturbing, it's a good and necessary evolution: In the next generation of travel, the traveller will need to create a net positive value for the people and the places he visits. Today we are at a crossroads. How do we build that new system? Which roads lead to sustainable or regenerative travel? What are the tradeoffs and...

Ewout Storm van Leeuwen Boreal Bushcraft
Living in the wild from the wild
What if you disconnect from society altogether? Urban nomads know what that's like, but they continue to live in the city in frayed corners and live on a kind of handouts and what others throw away. In countries with lots of nature and few inhabitants per square kilometer, some daredevils disconnect completely. They make a place where they live and live entirely self-sufficiently. Bushcraft is called that, the skill of living in the wild from the wild. They do have some trade with the "inhabited...

Epicureanism and Scientific Debates Vol.1
Antiquity and Late Reception
Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically...

Martine Delfos Are you listening to me?
communicating with children from four to twelve years old
Hardly any literature exists about having conversations with children. Talking to children is a daily activity for almost everyone. For professionals who work with children it is even an essential activity. Nevertheless we learn little about it in college. Besides the attention given to open question-and-answer sessions, communication with children in general is described. It deals with therapeutic assistance for children and conversations in school in particular. In ‘Are you listening to me?’ Martine...
