Ecrit dans le feu de l'Histoire, Suite française dépeint presque en direct l'exode de juin 1940, qui brassa dans un désordre tragique des familles françaises de toute sorte, des plus huppées aux plus modestes. Avec bonheur, Irène Némirovsky traque les innombrables petites lâchetés et les fragiles élans de solidarité d'une population en déroute. Cocottes larguées par leur amant, grands bourgeois dégoûtés par la populace, blessés abandonnés dans des fermes engorgent les routes...

This approach provides a comprehensive discussion of the selected works from a variety of theoretical perspectives.

Kids’ Skills is een speelse, praktische benadering voor het oplossen van moeilijkheden waarmee kinderen worden geconfronteerd. Centraal staat één heel belangrijk idee: praktisch alle problemen kunnen worden opgevat als vaardigheden die nog ontwikkeld moeten worden.

'Projectmatig creëren' biedt een wezenlijk andere, vernieuwende kijk op projectmanagement. Voor succesvolle projecten is immers méér nodig dan strakke sturing, goede planning en stringente budgetbewaking.

Daarom begint projectmatig creëren bij het commitment en de inspiratie van mensen, die ver...
