Rapid and deep changes in society, the economy and policy over the last decades 
are having an increasing impact on the delivery of social housing in North Western Europe. These changes are transforming the way in which social housing providers perform their task and are reshaping their relationships with the State, communities and with other market actors. The combination of continued State withdrawal from service provision, the deep and persistent effects of the global financial crisis th...

Het gebeurt niet elke dag, maar soms wordt er een ontdekking gedaan die de samenleving helemaal op zijn kop zet. Ooit was dat de beheersing van het vuur of het begin van de landbouw, recenter de auto of het internet. Vandaag is dat CRISPR, de uitvinding van de eeuw, alleen weet u dat nog niet. Tot nu.

Wat is CRISPR? Het korte antwoord: een revolutionaire techniek om aanpassingen uit te voeren in het DNA van eender welk organisme. Het langere antwoord wordt u in dit boek, gegeven door Hetty He...

We zijn dag en nacht omgeven door elektrische en draadloze apparaten - en in toenemnde mate door 5G straling. Omdat we gebrekkige informatie krijgen weten we maar weinig van de effecten.

Wat doen zenderstraling (mobieltjes), WiFi en babyfoon met jou? En met je kinderen? Hoe kunnen we er zo verstandig mogelijk mee omgaan

Ing. Jan van Gils, natuurkundige en leraar, schreef deze kundige visie en kritische reflectie op draadloze communicatie, elektromagnetische velden en straling. En geeft inzich...

Geodesign is a GIS-based planning and design method, which tightly couples the creation of design proposals with impact simulations informed by geographic contexts. Geodesign as such comprises a set of geo-information technology driven methods and techniques for planning built and natural environments in an integrated process. It includes project conceptualization, analysis, design specification, stakeholder participation and collaboration.

This academic publication brings together a wide var...

An introductory text book for graduates and advanced undergraduates on group representation theory. It emphasizes group theory's role as the mathematical framework for describing symmetry properties of classical and quantum mechanical systems.

Familiarity with basic group concepts and techniques is invaluable in the education of a modern-day physicist. This book emphasizes general features and methods which demonstrate the power of the group-theoretical approach in exposing the systematics of...

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

'It's a trip - engrossing, eye-opening, mind altering' New Statesman

'Fascinating. Pollan is the perfect guide ... curious, careful, open minded' The Guardian

Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very...

The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical scientists today. It draws together essential basic science, with insights into laboratory practice, to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is linked to analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. The series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed - from microbiology, to cytopathology, totransfusion science.

The third ...
