Het Nederlandse landschap / druk 10 (Heruitgave)
een historisch-geografische benadering
2010 || Paperback || H.G. Baas e.a. || Matrijs, Uitgeverij
Tientallen eeuwen leven en werken mensen in het Nederlandse landschap. In de loop van de tijd is het natuurlandschap omgevormd tot een cultuurlandschap. Dit gebeurde aanvankelijk stapsgewijs, door kleine veranderingen die nu vaak als cultuur-historisch waardevolle elementen worden gezien. In de laatste decennia verandert het landschap zeer snel. Het ontstaan en de groei van de steden nemen daarbij een eigen plaats in. Nederland wordt dan ook wel eens een landschap vol steden genoemd.

Ongelijk burgerschap
De Grondwet van Thorbecke en de koloniën
2023 || Paperback || Karwan Fatah-Black e.a. || Boom
De Grondwet van Thorbecke legde de basis voor ongelijkheid waarvan de gevolgen tot op de dag van vandaag voelbaar zijn. Er waren grote verschillen tussen wie burgers waren in Nederland en wie burgers waren in de koloniën. Inwoners van het Nederlandse Koninkrijk kregen en krijgen niet overal dezelfde rechten, plichten en behandeling. Deze verschillen vormen een belangrijk onderdeel van de discussie over postkoloniaal burgerschap in Nederland.

Het koloniaal universum
Opkomst en ondergang van de Oranje-collecties in de achttiende eeuw
2024 || Paperback || Marie Christine van der Sman || Boom
In de achttiende eeuw In 1795 werden de kostbare verzamelingen van stadhouder Willem V buitgemaakt door het Franse revolutionaire leger. De Fransen waren bovenal geïnteresseerd in de opgezette vogels, reptielen op sterk water en levende olifanten uit Ceylon. Ook boeken, topografische atlassen en wetenschappelijke instrumenten mochten zich verheugen in hun grote belangstelling. Oude meesters en voorwerpen uit de klassieke oudheid waren voor hen bijvangst.

History: A Very Short Introduction
A Very Short Introduction
2000 || Paperback || John H. Arnold || Oxford University Press
There are many stories we can tell about the past, and we are not, perhaps, as free as we might imagine in our choice of which stories to tell, or where those stories end. John Arnold's Very Short Introduction is a stimulating essay about how we study and understand history. The book begins by inviting us to think about various questions provoked by our investigation of history, and explores the ways these questions have been answered in the past.
Concepts such as causation, interpretation, a...

Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century
