The Colony of New Netherland

A Dutch Settlement in Seventeenth-century America

By: Jaap Jacobs

The Dutch involvement in North America started after Henry Hudson, sailing under a Dutch flag in 1609, traveled up the river that would later bear his name. The Dutch control of the region was short-lived, but had profound effects on the Hudson Valley region. In The Colony of New Netherland, Jaap Jacobs offers a comprehensive history of the Dutch colony on the Hudson from the first trading voyages in the 1610s to 1674, when the Dutch ceded the colony to the English. As Jacobs shows, New Netherland offers a distinctive example of economic colonization and in its social and religious profile represents a noteworthy divergence from the English colonization in North America. Centered around New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan, the colony extended north to present-day Schenectady, New York, east to central Connecticut, and south to the border shared by Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, leaving an indelible imprint on the culture, political geography, and language of the early modern mid-Atlantic region. Dutch colonists' vivid accounts of the land and people of the area shaped European perceptions of this bountiful land; their own activities had a lasting effect on land use and the flora and fauna of New York State, in particular, as well as on relations with the Native people with whom they traded. Sure to become readers' first reference to this crucial phase of American early colonial history, The Colony of New Netherland is a multifaceted and detailed depiction of life in the colony, from exploration and settlement through governance, trade, and agriculture. Jacobs gives a keen sense of the built environment and social relations of the Dutch colonists and closely examines the influence of the church and the social system adapted from that of the Dutch Republic. Although Jacobs focuses his narrative on the realities of quotidian existence in the colony, he considers that way of life in the broader context of the Dutch Atlantic and in comparison to other European settlements in North America.

Collective Behavior and Public Opinion

Rapid Shifts in Opinion and Communication

By: Jaap van Ginneken

This is a highly innovative and stimulating work with the outline of an entirely new approach to massive and rapid shifts in opinion and communication. It discusses and explains such mysterious phenomena as sudden crazes and crashes, fads and fashion, hypes and manias, moral outrage and protests, gossip and rumors, and scares and panics. Rich in alternative insights, the book is divided into four parts. Part I discusses the points of departure: the most relevant processes of opinion formation and communication. Part II is about phenomena on three different levels, that have traditionally been studied within the twin fields of mass psychology and collective behavior sociology. Part III focuses on the three prime forms of "emotional coloring" of opinion currents and public moods. Part IV discusses a combination of some of the aforementioned phenomena: successive crazes and crashes in financial markets, and looks at why technological and economic, and social and opinion forecasts often fail so miserably. The audience for this book includes students of social and mass psychology, social movements and collective behavior sociology, and opinion and communication in general. Professionals in public relations, marketing, health, finance, and politics, as well as the educated lay audience, will also find this book of interest.

Birk

By: Robben Jaap

Současný literární klenot připomínající Betonovou zahradu Iana McEwana Z nizozemského originálu přeložila Veronika ter Harmsel Havlíková Skvělý román o smutku a samotě začíná smrtí Birka Hammermanna, který umírá ve vlnách chladného moře, když zachraňuje tonoucího syna Mikaela, jenž se navzdory všem zákazům rodičů vrhá za fotbalovým míčem. Mikaela události donutí rychle dospět, jeho matka Dora totiž ztrátu muže nedokáže psychicky vstřebat. Izolace, která je po smrti manžela na opuštěném ostrově tak hmatatelná, ji vede ke krokům, které jsou společensky nepřijatelné. Robbenův průzračný jazyk dává vyniknout bezútěšnosti situace. Kniha vycházející hvězdy holandské literatury Jaapa Robbena je skvělým románem, v kterém, jak píší v NRC Handelsblad, se autor ,,vydal na úspěšnou výpravu do intimity, která čtenáře může přivést do rozpaků“.
