A Short History of the Middle Ages / 6th edition
2023 || Paperback || Barbara Rosenwein || University of Toronto Press
In this new edition of A Short History of the Middle Ages, Barbara H. Rosenwein offers a panoramic view of the medieval world from Iceland to China and from Sweden to West Africa. Yet the book never loses sight of the main contours of the period (c.300 to c.1500) or of the fate of the heirs of the Roman Empire.
Its lively and informative narrative covers the major events, political and religious movements, men and women, saints and sinners, economic and cultural changes, ideals, fears, and fa...
Colonial Encounters and Slavery in Early Modern Asia
2025 || Hardcover || Daniel Domingues da Silva e.a. || Leiden University Press
This volume traces how colonial powers from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century built, adapted, and expanded systems of slave trading and coerced labour across different regions of the globe. Bringing together diverse geographical perspectives and source materials, the contributors investigate how European practices of enslavement—shaped above all by experiences in the Atlantic world—were transferred to, or reshaped by, societies in the Indian Ocean and Asia. In examining the manageme...
Spiegelpaleis Europa / Druk 3
europese cultuur als mythe en beeldvorming
2015 || Paperback || Joep Leerssen || Vantilt
Europa. Voor de een slaat de naam op een staatkundig samenwerkings- en eenwordingsproject, voor de ander op 'Brusselse' instanties en regels waarmee Nederlanders te maken krijgen. Soms wordt gedoeld op een soort gemeenschap die probeert haar gezamenlijke economische en politieke belangen staande te houden op het wereldtoneel. Achter deze tegenstrijdige en stuk voor stuk omstreden betekenissen schuilt een vaag geheel van associaties en connotaties: de beeldvorming.In Spiegelpaleis Europa analy...

Een geschiedenis van de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 1923-2023
2024 || Hardcover || Jan Brabers || Boom
De Radboud Universiteit vierde in 2023 haar honderdjarig bestaan. In 1923 opende zij in het centrum van Nijmegen haar deuren onder de naam Roomsch Katholieke Universiteit. De stichting van de universiteit gold als een uniek en ambitieus project met als hoofddoel het stimuleren van katholieke jongeren tot het volgen van een academische studie. Bovendien wilden de stichters aantonen dat katholieken, naar wie doorgaans geringschattend werd gekeken, serieuze wetenschapsbeoefenaars konden zijn. Ho...
Individualisering
2026 || Paperback || Fleur de Beaufort || Boom
'Individu', 'individualisme' en 'individualisering'. Het zijn kernbegrippen in
de hedendaagse samenleving, die in dit boek nader worden uitgewerkt. Met
reden, want ze leiden meer dan eens tot misvattingen en misverstand. De
individualiseringstrend past bij uitstek bij de recente ontwikkelingen rond
de participatiesamenleving, waarvan een zich steeds verder terugtrekkende
overheid wel het voornaamste symptoom is.
Fleur de Beaufort is historicus en is verbonden aan de Teldersstichting.
Civilization: A New History of the Western World
A New History of the Western World
2008 || Paperback || Roger Osborne || Vintage Publishing
Ever since the attacks of 11th September, western leaders have described a world engaged in 'a fight for civilization'. But what do we mean by civilization? We believe in a western tradition of openness and freedom that has produced a good life for many millions of people and a culture of enormous depth and creative power.

The Death and Life of Great American Cities
2020 || Paperback || Jane Jacobs || Vintage Publishing
In this classic text, Jane Jacobs set out to produce an attack on current city planning and rebuilding and to introduce new principles by which these should be governed. The result is one of the most stimulating books on cities ever written. Throughout the post-war period, planners temperamentally unsympathetic to cities have been let loose on our urban environment.
Inspired by the ideals of the Garden City or Le Corbusier's Radiant City, they have dreamt up ambitious projects based on self-c...
