    Human Evolution and Development (Paperback)
    Human Evolution and Development (Paperback)
    Our understanding of human evolution is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over the last years due to spectacular fossil finds, reconstructions based on genome comparison, ancient DNA sequencing and new insights into developmental genetics. This book takes an integrative approach in which the development of the human embryo, the evolutionary history of our body, the structure of human populations, their dispersal over the world and their cultures are examined by integrating paleoanthropology, developmental biology, comparative zoology, population genetics and phylogenetic reconstruction. The authors discuss questions like: - What do we know about ancient humans? - What happens in the development of an embryo? - How did we manage to walk upright and why did we lose our hair? - What is the relationship between language, migration and evolution? - How does our body respond to the challenges of modern society? In addition to being a core text for the study of the life sciences, 'Human

    Changing Values on Water in Delta Cities (Paperback)
    Changing Values on Water in Delta Cities (Paperback)
    The thesis develops an empirically tested analytical framework which links value theory with planning and design practices to investigate context-specific spatial transformations as a result of individual and collective value judgements. Four key aspects of water values including flood safety, as well as economic, social and environmental values, are studied, and their interrelationships are discussed. Morphological analyses and value assessments are conducted to explore in what sense spatial changes can be considered an expression of the changing values and what we can learn from it to deal with complex spatial situations. The empirical studies are based on the long-term spatial development of Guangzhou as representative of a historical and rapidly growing delta city in China. Three development stages are illustrated to show different patterns of water-city interactions, the waterways city (before the 1920s) that was mainly structured by natural forces including natural waterways, the

    Understanding Prejudice and Education (Paperback)
    Understanding Prejudice and Education (Paperback)
    What is prejudice in the 21st Century and how can education help to reduce it? This original text discusses prejudice in detail, offering a clear analysis of research and theory on prejudice and prejudice reduction, drawn from findings in social psychology, critical thinking and education. Presenting the underlying principle that prejudice can be reduced through the development of four core attributes - empathy, understanding, cognitive flexibility and metacognitive thought - the book offers effective educational strategies for preparing young people for life. Chapters explore a range of examples of classroom practice and provide a thorough engagement with the minefield of prejudice, set against challenging sociological, ideological, political and cultural questions. An integrative framework is included that can be adapted and adopted in schools, synthesising findings and emphasising the need for individuals and groups to work against preconceived beliefs and emotional reactions to

    Robocar and Urban Space Evolution (Paperback)
    Robocar and Urban Space Evolution (Paperback)
    How can we create more human-centered, resilient, and sustainable cities in the tech age? Can we make use of technology and the opportunities presented rather than resisting its fast-paced evolution? What are the biggest and most likely spatial changes that autonomous vehicles will bring in cities? How can this change in mobility contribute to a better urban environment? To what extent do the spatial opportunities created by automated mobility respond to current urban issues and what is the role of urban design and spatial planning in this debate? Autonomous cars -Robocars- will dramatically change urban environments and the practice of urbanism, potentially making cities less dependent on and less dominated by cars. Driverless and mainly guided by digital infrastructure, Robocars can open up new opportunities for urban development. If guided by sustainable development goals, mobility automation can lead to urban we understand as a shared paradigm shift in mobility and urban design. To

    Searching in Face of Mystery (Paperback)
    Searching in Face of Mystery (Paperback)
    Present day, many people in western countries are inspired by more than one religious or wisdom tradition without committing to any one of them exclusively. This PhD thesis is one of the first studies that proposes a theology for this type of faith. The method used is Imaginative Construction as proposed by Gordon Kaufman. This theology discusses a set of topics which is relevant for religious seekers: ethics, religious interest, the human, the world, ultimate reality, key to the ultimate, truth, spiritual growth, afterlife, and religious diversity. For ethics, religious interest, spiritual growth, truth and religious diversity, it is argued that religious seekers have reasons to decide. The decisions that are suggested for these topics lead to six steps of faith guiding someone from an agnostic starting point to a considered religious seeker position. For the other topics: ultimate reality, key to the ultimate, the human, the world and afterlife, this theology proposes to refrain from

    OASE 107 (Paperback)
    OASE 107 (Paperback)
    For Dutch see below - English - In recent decades, the drawing practices in landscape design and urbanism have seen a number of transformations. Current developments in theory and practice have rendered the distinction between the two more diffuse. Both disciplines are no longer regarded as architecture - or gardening - 'on a larger scale', primarily anchored in questions of housing, land development or embellishment. Today ecology, energy transition or 'metabolic' issues are much more present, which leads to new forms of drawing. Leaving an object-oriented thinking behind, both disciplines seem to be convinced of the importance of the process and the impact of the factor of time. Space has become understood as an intersection - a 'coagulation' - of a multiplicity of flows and processes. For designers it is an essential question how all these flows and processes come together, materialize, and become visible, and how their 'spatialization' in drawings is represented in analysis and

    Protective Wraps (Paperback)
    Protective Wraps (Paperback)
    "Protective wraps, transcultural aid for families" offers a new perspective on the care practice. It deals with what a professional needs for an open dialogue with 'the Other'. The book answers questions such as: What does a care worker need to be interculturally competent? What is the influence of his personal background on his dealing with and judgment of people from a different culture or context? How can truly accessible and well-functioning aid for migrants and refugees, but also for the Dutch, be realized? What is the role of intergenerational family thinking and what is the influence of the consequences of migration in this respect? In this revised edition, an evaluation assignment has been added to each chapter. Furthermore, the importance of empathy and compassion in the provision of care is extensively discussed. Attention is paid to superdiversity and the theory of the functioning of inclusion and exclusion mechanisms. Intercultural competencies are also dealt with in depth.

    Productomschrijving

    The theory of modernization basically reduces the meaning of development to economic growth often measured by Growth Domestic Product of the country or overall purchase power parity of the nation. This approach ignores the variety of perspectives on development, hence excludes the role of culture, identity, and spirituality as social determinants of good development. More importantly, modernization theory which informs the mainstream view on development ignores the structural causes of underdevelopment, including colonial heritage or the current unbridled capitalism in many societies. Against reductionist views of development, fundamental questions are raised about the theory and programming of development. From what perspective is the conception of development perceived? Who should decide and depict development goals? What kind of development could result in desirable changes? Is it morally desirable to dictate an exclusively Western understanding of development to others? Is there
