Biological Globalisation

Bio-Invasions and Their Impact on Nature, the Economy and Public Health

By: Wouter van der Weijden,Rob Leewis,Pieter Bol

Bioglobalisation is anything but new. The exotic fungus Phytophtora has threatened European potato harvests since 1846. Since then, the number of deliberate and accidental introductions of exotic species has grown rapidly. Environmental factors such as climate change also play an increasing role. This book is a thorough and informative overview of all aspects of bioglobalisation. It describes its nature and scope, as well as history, drivers and mechanisms. Using vivid examples, the book addresses which species are likely to become invasive, which bioregions are vulnerable, and whether we can - and should - try to control bio-invasions. Separate chapters address the impacts of bioglobalisation on the environment and on our economy, and discuss, for instance, how virus invasions are threatening human lives worldwide.

Het geheim van Paleis Kneuterdijk

Het geheim van Paleis Kneuterdijk

De wekelijkse gesprekken van koning Willem II met zijn minister J.C. Baud over het koloniale beleid en de herziening van de grondwet, 1841-1848

By: Wouter Hugenholtz

J.C. Baud was de langst dienende minister onder koning Willem II (1840-1849). Hij stond aan het hoofd van het Departement van Koloniën, dat van cruciale betekenis was voor het herstel van de overheidsfinanciën. Het was de tijd waarin de Nederlandse staat nagenoeg bankroet was en slechts op de been werd gehouden door de koloniale baten die op Java met het Cultuurstelsel werden verkregen. Kort na de troonsbestijging van Willem II begon Baud aantekening te houden van de wekelijkse gesprekken die hij met de koning voerde over het koloniale beleid en ook over de binnenlandse politiek, in het bijzonder de herziening van de grondwet. Baud heeft deze aantekeningen tot het einde van zijn ministerschap volgehouden. Zo ontstond een uniek document dat nagenoeg het hele koningschap van Willem II beslaat, namelijk de periode van januari 1841 tot maart 1848. De vijf kleine boekjes waarin Baud zijn aantekeningen maakte, zijn altijd in familiebezit gebleven en hebben daar decennia lang een onzichtbaar bestaan geleid. Door het vaak onleesbare handschrift was het niet eenvoudig om de aantekeningen op juiste waarde te schatten. Systematische studie met aanvullende toelichting heeft van een reeks fragmentarische notities een spannend politiek verhaal gemaakt. Dit boek werpt niet alleen een nieuw licht op het omstreden koningschap van Willem II, maar gunt de lezer ook een blik in het politieke besluitvormingproces gedurende een periode waarin nog geen sprake was van volledige ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid. De aantekeningen illustreren de vooraanstaande rol die Baud als staatsman heeft gespeeld.

Morphosyntax of Verb Movement

A Minimalist Approach to to the Syntax of Dutch

By: C. Jan-Wouter Zwart

Morphosyntax of Verb Movement discusses the phenomenon of Dutch, present in many Germanic languages, that the finite verb is fronted in main clauses but not in embedded clauses. The theoretical framework adopted is the so-called Minimalist Program of Chomsky (1995), the latest developmental stage of generative grammar. Taking issue with previous analyses, the author argues that phrase structure in Dutch is uniformly head initial, and that the finite verb moves to different positions in subject initial main clauses and in inversion constructions. The book contains lucid and detailed discussion of many theoretical issues in connection with the Minimalist Program, such as the relation between syntax and morphology, the nature of syntactic licensing, and the structure of the functional domain. At the same time, it offers a survey of the properties of Dutch syntax, a discussion of previous analyses of Dutch syntax and a wealth of material from dialects of Dutch and other Germanic languages.

Loans and Credit in Consilia and Decisiones in the Low Countries (c. 1500-1680)

By: Wouter Druwé

Based on consilia and decisiones, Wouter Druwé studies the multinormative framework on loans and credit in the Golden Ages of Antwerp and Amsterdam (c. 1500-1680). He analyzes the use of a wide variety of legal financial techniques in the Low Countries, such as money lending and the taking of interest, the constitution of annuities, cession and delegation, bearer bonds, bills of exchange, partnerships, and representation in financial affairs, as well as the consequences of monetary fluctuations. Special attention is paid to how the transregional European system of learned Roman and canon law (ius commune) was applied in daily ‘learned legal practice’. The study also deals with the prohibition against usury and with the impact of moral theology on legal debates.

Growth and Metabolism of Anammox Bacteria

By: Wouter Roelof Lambertus van der Star

The anammox process is a promising technique for the treatment of ammonium-rich wastewaters. After the biological oxidation of half of the ammonium to nitrite (partial nitritation), the produced ammonium nitrite is converted in the anammox process. The partial nitritation and the anammox process can be both performed in separate reactors or in one (aerated) reactor. In this thesis, growth (Chapters 2 and 3) and metabolism (Chapters 4, 5 and 6) of the anammox bacteria are treated on full-scale (Chapters 2 and 5) as well as on laboratory scale (Chapters 3, 4 and 6)

Taking Nature Into Account

A Report to the Club of Rome Toward a Sustainable National Income

By: Wouter van Dieren

Indicators used to direct ecomonic policy are based on a number of factors - none of which, however, acknowledge the degradation of natural resources. Continued deterioration of the environment is leading us closer to crisis, while policymakers and the public base their decisions on dangerously incomplete information. In Taking Nature into Account, a number of the world's leading experts state the ethical, historical, economic, and ecological arguments for including environmental factors when measuring fiscal health. Initiated by the Club of Rome (an international group of influential businesspeople, statesmen, and scientists), and written in cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature, the report reviews existing methodologies and makes recommendations for adjusting the way we think about and measure the economy.

Absolute Beginners

Der mittelalterliche Beitrag zu einem Ausgang vom Unbedingten

By: Wouter Goris

Absolute Beginners adopts a variety of approaches to study the Absolute as the ultimate source of knowledge in medieval philosophy. From a historical perspective, it examines a forerunner of Spinoza’s departure from the Absolute in the Ethics: the doctrine of God as a first object in the generation of knowledge, as formulated by Henry of Ghent (†1293) and Richard Conington (†1330). Methodologically, it offers a case-study in the construction of an historical object, calling into question the self-evident and spontaneous way in which elements in the history of philosophy - its concepts and theories - are presented as primary givens. In a systematic sense, this study includes a reflection on structural indeterminacy, as pervading and stabilizing the differential system of exclusions which makes up the doctrine of God as a first object in the generation of knowledge.
