But I do know, however, that I will return one day to Africa to learn its true history, to unravel its mysteries, to walk down its endless routes and trails, to enter the magic of its legends; to become entranced in its wild and rough places, to enjoy its seas and deserts, its heavy rains or sandstorms, its shiny moons or bright sunshine.

I will live again with its people to dream again I am a bird that flies over this vast geography, a painter who slowly captures the colour of its scenery, ...

This book explains the alarming and developing influence from radical liberalism on political, social and spiritual matters in the US and Canada. In Canada, two political parties, Liberals and NDP, publically oppose long-existing Judeo-Christian values, norms and principles.

In the US, the Far Left show similar disrespect for the same long-held values, norms and principles. The history of radical liberalism reveals the immense human suffering it has caused in the world. We may expect that tod...

Think of nature and you’re likely to picture a forest, not a freeway. But how natural is nature really? We live in a world of constructed wildlife reserves, rainbow tulips, designer babies and cultured meat. We control a tomato’s biology so precisely, you can hardly call it natural anymore. Meanwhile, our grip on the Internet and the financial markets has grown so slight that they’re coming to resemble forces of nature.

Using countless well-known examples and scientific insights, Koert ...

Migration, Equality and Racisms trigger ever more salient societal debates. More than 80 VUB academics and co-authors joined forces. Philosophers, lawyers, psychologists, health scientists, sociologists, geographers, criminologists, communication and political scientists … Together they aim to contribute to an exercise of humanism as a praxis of criticism or a ‘technique of trouble-making’, in the words of Edward Said. Through 44 thought-provoking and informed opinion pieces, they quest...

When asked to name an archetypal love story, most people will reply 'Romeo & Juliet', although some say 'Tristan & Isolde' instead. Very few will come up with a classical example, and the reason for this is simple: when you say archetypal, it is assumed you mean love between a man and a woman, and instances of this in classical accounts are rare. The reason for this is also not hard to find: as it does now, 'love' in the ancient world meant the affection of equals, and given the inferior posi...

This unique textbook merges human rights law with its practice, from the courtroom to the battlefield. Human rights are analysed in their particular context, and the authors assess, among other things, the impact of international finance, the role of NGOs, and the protection of rights in times of emergency, including the challenges posed by counter-terrorism. In parallel, a series of interviews with practitioners, case studies and practical applications offer multiple perspectives and challen...

Finally, a book that offers a practical yet well-researched guide for practitioners seeking to hone the way they show up in citizen space.

At a time when public trust in institutions is at its lowest, expectations of those institutions to make people well, knowledgeable, and secure are rapidly increasing. These expectations are unrealistic, causing disenchantment and disengagement among citizens and increasing levels of burnout among many professionals. Rekindling Democracy is not just a prac...

Cause is that duantum magnum magnetism force, that is indefinitum in scope: for human purposes, it is, hypothetically, infinite: forcing the cut out segment of its inner core, which is nothing but invisible fibre-cabling: prospect-lines of the Duantum Universe with indefinitum power, from all directions inwards, bringing it to an invisible dot to become Solidaas and, then, as it is let go off that pressure, suddenly, the effect appears in an explosion of beyond imagination ferocity, speed and...

ON GREEN LIBERTY calls us to the inconvenient truth of applying consistently the liberal outlook. Van den Berg extends John Stuart Mill’s no-harm principle to include non-human animals and future generations. ON GREEN LIBERTY notes that, just as there is consensus among all contemporary political parties that slavery is unacceptable, so also should the exploitation of non-human animals and the harm done to future generations by degrading planet Earth be unacceptable. Green liberalism is l...
