They Will Remain Forever Young
2022 || Hardcover || Fields of Honor Foundation || Amsterdam University Press
In the rolling hills of Limburg, near Margraten, they slowly loom up, row after row: the thousands of white marble crosses and Stars of David. They mark the final resting place of nearly 8,300 American soldiers who died during World War II.

Prometheus and the Liver through Art and Medicine
2022 || Hardcover || Julia van Rosmalen e.a. || Amsterdam University Press
Prometheus was punished by the supreme god Zeus for giving to mankind the Olympic fire with which they learned to think and feel.

We now know that the liver can regenerate, but were the ancient Greeks aware of this quality?
