    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.

    The Future of the European Union (Paperback)
    The Future of the European Union (Paperback)
    On November 29th 2007, the Dutch United Nations Student Association (SIB Leiden) organized a Conference, titled: "The Future of the European Union - How to Proceed in an Ever Closer Union?" The conference was meant to offer students, young academics and professionals the opportunity to engage in a debate with prominent scholars and politicians on the Future of Europe. This book contains an overview of the various issues that were discussed during the conference and attempts to do justice to both the interdisciplinarity of the conference programme and the variety of people who attended. Therefore, readers will find contributions from both Dutch and international scholars; from young academics from SIB Leiden; and from various politicians and other professionals working daily on European Union issues. As this book offers a collection of essays resulting from a Dutch conference on an international topic, contributions are either in English or in Dutch. The editors have aimed at an equal

    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)
    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

    Technology and Society: (Paperback)
    Technology and Society: (Paperback)
    This book approaches various challenges that recent technological developments pose for legal systems. Aiming to bridge the gap between different fields of law, but also between linguistic and national borders, it offers multilingual and intradisciplinary contributions reflecting on Technology and Society. As technology increasingly permeates our daily lives, reflecting on the impact it has on society and therefore also on the law, becomes ever more pressing. The present book is the outcome of the 9th Assistentenconferentie/Conférence des assistants (ACCA) held in September 2020 in Leuven, Belgium. Marie Bourguignon is a doctoral researcher at the Centre for Public Law (KU Leuven). Her research focuses on access to law and more specifically on the translating role of judicial actors. She is also a teaching assistant at the Leuven Institute for Human Rights. Tom Hick is full-time doctoral researcher and teaching assistant at the Institute for the Law of Obligations (KU Leuven).

    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

    Big in Brussels: The art of working and living in the EU Bubble
    The Brussels “EU Bubble” is a high-pressure, fast-churn and competitive environment where career success can often come at a high personal cost. Drawing on his own experience and the collective wisdom of many Brussels insiders, Jeroen Reijnen explains “the art of working and living in the EU Bubble” − in other words, how best to achieve a positive work-life balance in a city where people come and go, and burnout, rootlessness and loneliness are all too common.As Jeroen explains: “Where 'Big in Brussels' started out just as a book about making a career, it evolved into one about how to live the 'Good Life' in the EU Bubble.” His advice is practical, realistic and engaging. If your own road leads to Brussels, make sure to take this book with you on your journey.PART I: HOW TO GET INLiving like a Sultan From idealists to careeristsEndless summer The rule of at least two internships Some reading and watching tips To Bruges or not to Bruges?

    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.

    The Chaplain-Researcher (Paperback)
    The Chaplain-Researcher (Paperback)
    In March 2016 the Dutch Case Studies Project began in which about fifty chaplains participated as co-researchers in collecting practice-based evidence on what chaplains aim for, how they pursue it, and with what results. The chaplain-researchers produced case studies which were discussed collaboratively in research communities which were chaired by academic researchers. The engagement of chaplains in research can be understood from the development in the profession of integrating research into chaplaincy. While it is presumed that research benefits chaplains' practices, so far the impact of research on chaplains' practice had not been studied. Based on mixed-methods (observation, interviews, survey, focus groups), this dissertation describes, analyzes and reflects on the perceived change of chaplains' professionalism as a result of their participation in the Case Studies Project. This practical theological research provides insight in the value of the double role of chaplain-researcher
