No one was supposed to find Sobibor ever again. In 1943, when the Nazis shut down the death camp, they destroyed the gas chambers. To cover up pits where they buried their victims’ ashes, they planted trees.

But their attempt to totally erase the camp failed. The marshy ground in an Eastern Polish river valley still held the victims’ last possessions, rusty and buried beneath the soil. From 2007 on, archaeologists dug up tens of thousands of objects on the former camp terrain. Traces in ...

This book presents a remarkable collection of letters from Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1880-1962) and her governess, Elizabeth Saxton Winter (1855-1936), an Englishwoman.

Yet, despite such difficulties, over these four decades the balance is certainl...

By infidelity and betrayal, people are a bit lost confidence that they had in the other. There ar...

Over the last few decades, we have seen the development of open supply chains for production. These supply chains are now quite mature in terms of balanced relationships between OEMs and suppliers, as well as in terms of the associated business models and ways of working. The expectation over the next few decades is that we will begin to see a similar development towards open supply chains for Development and Life-cycle Management (D&LCM;).

Outsourcing D&LCM; involves three challenges. First,...

This book on water and climate change goes beyond the usual and predictable analyses, by bringing religion and values into a discussion that is often dominated by technocratic solutions.

With representatives from science, politics, economics, and religion, as well as young voices, the book stimulates a values-driven dialog...
