This book teaches you the grammatical rules of Frisian in an enjoyable and effective way. The presentation of these rules is well-ordered and transparant.

Zoals het aura van het kunstwerk in de twintigste eeuw al talloze malen is afgebrand, maar keer op keer uit zijn as herrees, zo komen ook oude clichés over de visionaire kunstenaar en diens soevereine schepppingsdrang steeds weer terug, zij het in nieuwe, aangepaste vormen.

Het kunstenaarschap is dus ook vandaag nog een mythe. Zit de kunstenaar per definitie gevangen in deze mythe? Is een gedemystificeerde kunstpraktijk voorstelbaar? Of heeft het kunstenaarschap zonder mythische lading geen ...

The ships of the Jacob van Heemskerck class of the Royal Netherlands Navy were constructed as specialised air defence frigates. It was a further developement out of the Standard-frigates. Two ships were built. They served for about twenty years in the R.Neth. navy. Since 2005 both are in service as the Almirante Latorre class in the Chilean Navy.

By the first half of the twentieth century, fundamental research had acquired an almost invi...

Something has gone bad in our environment: in the animal world caged budgerigars have the highest incidence of cancer. Ovarian and oviduct cancer are frequently fou...

The East Railway Line in London is a fascinating subject of study. It is rich in history and forms a surreal and fragmented physical presence between the City and the East End. A literary analysis of the chaotically ordered composition of this part of the metropolis involves spaces, places, voids and objects within the realm of this place of experience and imagination, with its visible elements and its ethereal body of histories and myths. The process of naming spaces and elements becomes a n...

Curtain wall constructions are one of the most applied facade constructions today. Independently attached to the primary load bearing structure of the building they protect the building’s interior from external climate conditions and allow great design freedom.

With continuously rising requirements in terms of energy savings the constructional principle has reached its limits and strategies for improvement are needed.

Incrementally evolved over time it is closely related to the architectura...
