A young man who has moved 64 times and sees his house as a place to sleep. Having difficulty recognizing it as his home. Who speaks different languages and is qualified in 11 subjects. I'm a boy who can do a lot, but keeps me in the background because of embarrassment. And even though I always look for people around me, and often look for confirmat...

A quote that is widely attributed to Thomas Fuller, M.D. (1654 – 1734) reads: "Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong." This quote leads people straightaway towards a wholesome way of working in establishing which information is relevant and needed, and which basic forms this information has.

According to Maxwell’s equations Electromagnetic Waves can only propagate along straight lines and it is impossible that Light (Electromagnetic Waves) could confine with the surface of a sphere or an ellipse. For that reason, these material waves in Schrödinger’s wave equation could only be of a different origin than Electromagnetic Waves. Niels Bohr introduced the concept of “Probability Waves” as the origin of the material waves in Schrödinger’s wave equation. And defined the Ne...

The Covid-19 crisis teaches us how priceless human nearness is. Art and education can't do without it either. Like works of art, people lose their aura when kept at digital arm's length. Art is lifeless when it can't resonate with bodies. In Nearness, Marlies De Munck and Pascal Gielen diagnose a new reality. Only culture marks the difference between surviving and living.

Nearness is also available in Dutch as a separate publication with the title Nabijheid.

Why do highly sensitive people perceive and process information so differently, and react more intensely? Why do they often experience stress and social rejection?

Ever since the American psychologist Elaine Aron introduced the term ‘high sensitivity’ in the late 1990s, much has been said about the subject. In this book, Esther Bergsma presents the latest scientific insights into the functioning of the ‘highly sensitive brain’, which has proven to function differently in many areas wh...
