Alfred R. Scheepers A survey of buddhist thought
General in its approach, yet penetrating, this book allows the reader to become acquainted with the highlights of Buddhist philosophy. It not only treats the ideas of the founder of the religion, but follows the development of his thought through the ages. It points out how these ideas were used by the psychologists of the Abhidharma, how they issued in the mystical conceptions of Mahayana. But before all, the book treats the more intellectual notions about time and being as found in the Madhyamaka...

Sofie Sun Drugs for the mind
censorship in China
In the eyes of the Chinese authorities books are too often Drugs for the Mind. Sofie Sun (1986) chose this remarkable description as the title of her investigation into censorship and literature in the People's Republic of China. She interviewed representatives of three groups of authors who each have their own view about censorship: writers with no official status living and working in the People’s Republic of China, writers in exile, and those who are members of the Chinese Writers Association....

Political blogger Bui Thanh Hieu (1972) nevertheless uses the Internet to criticize politically hot topics, such as Vietnam’s territorial claims within China as well as its handling of land disputes with the Catholic Church. In response to this, Hieu was arrested, his...

Rob de Wijk Power politics
We tend to think of ourselves as living in a time when nations, for the most part, obey the rule of law - and where they certainly don't engage in the violent grabs for territory that have characterised so much of human history. But as Rob de Wijk shows in this book, power politics very much remains a force on the international scene. Offering analyses of such actions as Putin's annexation of the Crimea and China's attempts to claim large parts of the South China Sea, de Wijk explains why power politics...

Coen Hilbrink Knokploegen
religie en gewapend verzet, 1943-1944
"Wat waren zij, de 'terroristen' van de Landelijke Knokploegen? Vrijheidsstrijders, avonturiers, criminelen, helden? Wat dreef hen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog tot gewapend verzet en welke rol speelde hun religie daarbij? Coen Hilbrink, wiens vader en grootvader door de Duitsers werden vermoord, onderzocht de drijfveren van de in meerderheid protestantse LKP'ers en de gevolgen van hun verzet voor hun naasten. Ook komt hij tot nieuwe bevindingen het in de illegaliteit heftig omstreden besluit van...

Bart Luirink | Madeleine Maurick Homosexuality in Africa
a disturbing love
Plagues of locusts, drought and ebola. In Africa homosexuals are getting the blame for everything. It's open season. Homosexuality is called 'un-African', 'in direct conflict with its own distinctive culture', a 'western disease'. What's the motivation behind those leaders who are fighting to keep their continent 'morally pure'? There's another story. More and more African gays and lesbians are coming out of the closet. Equal rights activism has become a reality and a passionate debate is raging....

Frieda Voorhorst Maze of mourning
In Maze of Mourning, Frieda Voorhorst describes the process of grieving after the death of her father. Her style is reflexive: in a detached way, she looks at her own emotions, thoughts and actions in retrospect. In this way, the book is contemplative without being weighty: it focusses on the dayly events in this period. The strong ties in the Voorhorst family between Frieda, her mother, her two sisters and her two brothers provide for a safe and harmonious background. Although the book concerns...

Ton Toutnu The beginning, the end and everything in between
under the auspices of Dr. anTONius F.W. Morselt
The beginning, the end, and everything in between stars the man. It's about the life of a Dutch man, born in 1939 and up to the end that is yet to come. Preparations have started for that end, however. Judging by the large membership numbers of the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Vrijwillige Euthanasie-the Dutch euthanasia association-he is not the only one. Most of this book, however, is about what happens between birth and death. You have to talk to a Dutchman in half-English; that's what they like...
