Cancer specialist Professor Bob Pinedo will never forget the faces of all those patients deemed beyond help. In the 1970s, the presence of metastases meant that a patient’s condition was considered incurable. Nor was there any effective pain management. The cries of cancer patients would sometimes echo down the bleak hospital corridors. ‘In those early days’ – the ‘Stone Age’ of cancer treatment – ‘we couldn’t offer patients much. There was almost no way of treating cancer.’

But now, fifty years on... Countless cancer treatments are available and patients no longer have to live their lives in pain. Mini-organs and tumors are cultivated in laboratories from the cells of individual patients to establish which drugs will be most effective in combating their cancer. Moreover, a cancer diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. An increasingly high proportion of patients surviv...

This atlas presents the spatial development of Amsterdam through a series of historical and newly drawn maps, from the city’s humble beginnings to the present day, and in an international context. Comparisons are made between Amsterdam and cities like Venice, London, Paris, and Vienna.

Amsterdam originated around the year 1200 as a small port town at the mouth of the river Amstel. In the 16th century, the rapidly growing merchant town became the bustling centre of the province of Holland. A...

The first edition did not claim to be into futurism. However, a retrospective view of the events of the last twenty-five years shows that practically all topics mentioned in the book have come to fruition, often in an awesome manner.

Like the first edition,...

Now You See Me Moria

Moria, on the Greek island of Lesbos, is the largest refugee camp in Europe. It is overcrowded and living conditions are inhumane. Apart from the fire in September last year, hardly any images get out. Journalists and photographers are not welcome and emergency workers are not allowed to take photographs. Yet, these posters are the result of photographs. They were made by four residents of the camp and saved and share...

The last year and a half has been a rollercoaster ride. The corona crisis turned daily life and our manner of working on its head. It was a difficult time, but one that also brought with it opportunities. The speed with which society has changed over the recent period is a sign of things still to come. We have to learn to live in an increasingly efficient era, which means we keep getting busier and busier. To ride the wave of change, youʼll have to work smarter, not harder—otherwise you mi...
