Book of Requiems, 1550-1560
From the Earliest Ages to the Present Period
Few western musical repertories speak more to the imagination than the Requiem mass for the dead. Yet, surprisingly, despite the significance of Requiem settings for our musical culture, the literature concerning them is sparse. The Book of Requiems presents essays on the most important works in this tradition, from the origins of the genre up to the present day. Each chapter is devoted to a specific Requiem, and offers both historical information and a detailed work-discussion. Conceived as a multi-volume...

Milo Scheeren Avoiding or Awakening
What is the real story? Many people no longer recognize themselves in what is being reported by governments and media, or doubt whether they are being told the whole truth.

In that case, do we still live in a democracy? This book has been written for and by people who do not want to look away, but who dare...

Hélène van Beek | Martijn van Rheenen Wards of State
Youth care under lock and key in the Netherlands
Wards of State: In the Netherlands, minors who have been placed under state supervision or have been removed from their home environment at the order of Youth Care are what we call wards of state. Youth care in the Netherlands is a market that is driven by perverse incentives, as this book makes clear. A market where expansion and money take precedence over the welfare of young people. A world in which truth and the best possible care are not of paramount importance. The research concerns the...

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...

Hugo Grotius Annals of the war in the Low Countries
The Annals of the War in the Low Countries is one of Hugo Grotius' lesser-known works. Grotius expresses a contrarian view of the early revolt, which he presents not as a united battle for the true faith and the ancient liberties of the land but as a protracted and painful struggle, not only with the great power of Spain, but also with discord, selfishness and religious fanaticism among the Dutch. To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Grotius...
