Groene herfst geeft de tegenstelling aan tussen, aan de ene kant, de vooruitgang die de milieubescherming onmiskenbaar heeft geboekt en aan de andere kant de constatering dat er allerlei kwaliteiten van de aarde verloren zijn gegaan. Tellegen beschrijft hoe het hedendaagse milieubesef en het gebruik van de term 'milieu' in de huidige betekenis pas in de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw zijn ontstaan. Hij behandelt de uitzonderlijke toename van menselijke milieubelasting in de laatste eeuwen, schetst het succes en falen van het milieubeleid en de veranderingen in het denken over milieuvraagstukk

Prejudices and stereotypes are as ancient as mankind. Why do we think we can deduce someone's characteristics by their appearance? This book is based on the contested theory of Italian doctor Lombroso on the heredity of criminality. Lombroso stated that criminal behaviour is a part of human nature. He wanted to prove some forms of criminality are hereditary. Facial features, corporal constitution ... as a basis to stigmatise people. But how do we deal with appearance these days, in a multicultural society? Do we still presume 'other' features are 'suspicious'? Is there such a thing as a 'born criminal'? This book also pays attention to phenomena such as physical anthropology, craniometry and phrenology. Exhibition: Museum Dr. Guislain, Ghent, Belgium (14.3.-21.9.2015)

In medieval legal transactions the use of the written word was only one of many ways of conducting business. Important roles were played by the spoken word and by the 'action' of ritual. The relationship between 'rituals' and literacy has been the focus of much recent research. Medieval societies which made extensive use of written instruments in legal transactions have been shown to employ rituals as well. This has ledto investigation of the respective functions of written instruments and legal rituals. What is the nature of legal rituals? If they included oral verbalization, how did the spoken words relate to those of the written instruments that played a role in the same legal transactions? Usually, we only have the written documents to answer these questions, and they are often silent about the rituals and oral elements of the transactions they document

While increasingly more people live in cities, urban peripheries are expending at the cost of nature. This book explains how sustainability can be achieved by urban redevelopment and upcycling. The large-scale processes of urban redevelopment in this book are based on a successful brownfield project in Netherlands, the Paleiskwartier in 's-Hertogenbosch. 'Designing for sustainability through upcycling' tells the inside story of nearly three decades how policies were made, decisions taken, designs created, how the projects developed in phases and how the city government partnered the private sector in a unique way. A series of essays and short interviews with key players involved – including directors, designers, developers and city-officials – provides a detailed overview of how this project was actually realized. This book offers first-hand information of 30 years of development as told by master-planner Shyam Khandekar. Professor Vinayak Bharne places the process of upcycling in the context of developments from other parts of the world. A must-read for those on the threshold of undertaking a brownfield redevelopment process in their city

New technologies, climate change, infectious diseases and major crises like the BSE-affair make us realize that our knowledge of risks threatening our society is very limited. The shaping of the responsibilities of our physical safety has to be rethought. The WRR makes a strong case that government, companies and citizens alike should learn to cope pro-actively with uncertainties. This way they can be more aware of the vulnerability of nature, society and the people in it. The council gives suggestions how the government can stimulate this process. - De zorg voor fysieke veiligheid is met steeds meer onzekerheden omgeven. Nieuwe technologieën, maar ook de klimaatproblematiek, nieuwe infectieziekten en grote incidenten zoals de BSE-crisis, doen ons beseffen dat kennis over risico's voor de samenleving beperkt is. De vormgeving van verantwoordelijkheid voor fysieke veiligheid moet daarom op een nieuwe leest worden geschoeid. De Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid bepleit dat overheid, bedrijven en burgers proactief leren omgaan met onzekerheid, om zodoende bewuster te worden van de kwetsbaarheid van mensen, samenleving en natuurlijke omgeving. De raad doet in dit rapport suggesties voor de wijze waarop de overheid dit proces kan bevorderen.

Article 34 of the European Convention on Human Rights prescribes that individual applications must be directed against one of the Convention States. Consequently, private actors involved in proceedings against other private actors before domestic courts must complain about State (in)action in their application to the European Court of Human Rights. In other words, originally 'horizontal' conflicts must be 'verticalised' in order to be admissible. Although such verticalised cases make up a large portion of the Court's case law, the particular nature of these cases, as well as procedural issues that may arise in them, has not received much attention. To fill this gap, this book offers a detailed examination of verticalised cases coming before the Court. The characteristics of and the Court's approach to verticalised cases are explored by means of an in-depth analysis of four types of verticalised cases (cases related to one's surroundings; cases involving a conflict between the right to reputation and private life and the right to freedom of expression; family life cases; and employer-employee cases). On the basis of this analysis, it is argued that the Court's current approach to verticalised cases poses problems for private actors, Convention States and the Court itself. In presenting recommendations for the resolution of these problems, the book concludes with a proposal for a new approach to verticalised cases, consisting of a redesigned third-party intervention procedure.
