    Building bridges (Paperback)
    Building bridges (Paperback)
    What is the future of science and technology? Will academic research become a commodity like so much else? Will technology and science become ever more intertwined? Such questions concern anyone to whom science and technology matter. A philosophical approach can shed light on them, as Hans Radder has amply shown. This volume contains essays by colleagues and friends that highlight the wide variety of topics he has addressed in his work. Whether it is the interaction between science, technology and society, the nature of scientific experimentation, or the scientific realism question, Radder's approach is always acute and committed. With contributions by Henk van den Belt, James Robert Brown, Kai Eigner, Andrew Feenberg, Steve Fuller, Makoto Katsumori, Peter Kirschenmann, Christian Krijnen, Peter Kroes, Chunglin Kwa, Sabina Leonelli, Loet Leydesdorff, Alfred Nordmann, Pieter Pekelharing, Arthur Petersen, Henk de Regt, Angela Roothaan, László Ropolyi, Frits Schipper, and Astrid Schwarz.

    From the alley to the web (Paperback)
    From the alley to the web (Paperback)
    Developments in technology have not only transformed aspects of our daily life, but they have also impacted the way in how illicit transactions are organised, such as illicit drug supply and demand. This book focuses on illicit drug transactions through drug marketplaces on the dark web, also called cryptomarkets. The dark web is an encrypted, small part of the internet not searchable by regular search engines. These drug cryptomarkets offer an unprecedented opportunity to study a drug market and to monitor new trends in drug supply and demand. International research has provided some general insights into the profile, experiences and motivations of drug cryptomarket vendors and buyers. This research has however indicated that national differences exist regarding the different variables that relate to cryptomarket use and prevalence. Therefore, in 2019, the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) commissioned and financed CRYPTODRUG shedding a first, yet necessary, light on illicit drug

    New Eyes on You (Paperback)
    New Eyes on You (Paperback)
    Do you want to know what someone is really thinking? Look no further than their facial expressions. The movements of our eyebrows, eyelids and the corners of our mouths betray information about our personality within minutes. Scientific research has shown that the face is, indeed, the mirror of the soul. All people present a basic repertoire of facial expressions that betray a lot about how they view life. This book will teach you which facial expressions belong to which behavioral styles. This prior knowledge will allow you to improve every conversation, at home and at work. Herman Ilgen has years of experience as a negotiator and a mediator. Working with the University of Amsterdam, he has been conducting research for over 12 years and developed the unique INSA Method that is now being used in a wide variety of settings by companies, government organizations and individual professionals.

    The book of ideals (Paperback)
    The book of ideals (Paperback)
    Would you like to be meaningful, but you don't know how to realize your ideals? This guide shows you the way. How to change yourself and the world. Our planet is crying out for do-gooders of all colors and sizes. Fortunately, there are people everywhere who change tack, urge their employer to do things differently and, if necessary, quit their job. One climbs the Himalayas for a good cause, the other starts a social enterprise. Do you also have an ideal and could you use some help? Then take advantage of all the tips and inspiring stories in this book. According to Marnix Geus, nothing is more motivating than an ideal. Candid and with a sense of humor, Geus shows in The Book of Ideals that no journey is ideal, but if you allow your journey to be guided by ideals, you can be sure that it will become more beautiful, for yourself and for others. Marnix said goodbye to the successful PR agency he founded earlier in 2017 and started The Present Movement, a broad movement of people who fight

    The architecture Museum effect/ de effecten van architectuurmusea (Paperback)
    The architecture Museum effect/ de effecten van architectuurmusea (Paperback)
    Recent developments show a shift in the themes that architecture museums programme: apparently, social and activist subjects are supplanting classical architectural themes. It is a development expressed by recent exhibitions of both renowned institutes and younger ones. By the looks of it, thematic choices are furthermore increasingly influenced by the social and political contexts of institutes. In terms of storage, new developments such as digitization also lead to radical changes, with consequences that are difficult to predict. OASE 99 analyses and questions these developments and their impact on the current and future role of architecture museums. OASE provides the context for understanding the current situation and examines what part architecture museums can play in the future of architecture culture.

    Logic and Islam (Paperback)
    Logic and Islam (Paperback)
    In part II of this book series Logic and Islam, we answer the main question: can science prove that the Holy Quran is from Almighty God and has a divine origin? To answer this question, we gathered 77 scientific miracles from the Holy Quran. These miracles are scientific issues that have been revealed 1400 years ago and proven to be correct through our modern science and technology. We present each scientific issue from revelation and historical points of view, by comparing the year of its revelation with that of its discovery by modern science. The 77 scientific issues are grouped in six different categories: 1) astronomical issues, 2) earth science issues, 3) medical and biological issues, 4) animal and plant issues, 5) physics issues and 6) historical issues. By using the theory of probability, we demonstrate that the possibility to predict all 77 issues correctly by chance is quasi-zero. In other words, if a human being tried to predict the 77 issues correctly, they would need an

    City of the Future / Stad van de Toekomst (Paperback)
    How can we design and develop a transformation area in an integral way into an attractive and future-proof urban environment? This is the the central question of the research project Stad van de Toekomst (City of the Future). This question is motivated by urgent social as well as local tasks in the urban areas, varying from housing demand, social inclusiveness, new economy, climate adaptation, and the like, taking into account the transitions in energy, mobility, circularity and digitization. Based on future scenarios, the aim and intended results of this study are to obtain insights into the central and local questions in order to inform integral area development from systems and networks. In addition, also transitions to other spatial conditions are addressed. Such insights can have significance for the developments of a number of locations, and contribute to the policy of local and central governments.
