De identiteit van Den Haag in woorden vangen - daar draait het om in dit boek. Nu valt er op het karakter van een mens al nauwelijks greep te krijgen, laat staan op zoiets dynamisch als een stad. Toch koestert iedereen die in de stad opgroeit - voor een dorpsbewoner geldt ongetwijfeld hetzelfde - een zolder vol herinneringen. Bij elkaar bepalen die de blauwdruk van iemands gevoel en drukken ze een stempel op smaak, stijl en later keuzes. Dat valt te delen met mensen die voor een deel dezelfde...

Dit werkboek kan gebruikt worden als studentenmateriaal bij een introductiecursus over de didactiek van de wiskunde.

In today's world - despite the dramatic anthropogenic environmental changes - a proper understanding of the relationship between humanity and nature requires a certain detachment. The pressing problems in their whole extent will only be fully understood and solved with comprehensive and patient analysis. Accordingly, this book develops new perspectives on fundamental questions of biology, ecology, and the economy, integrated within a framework of a terminology specially devised by the authors.

By illuminating the epistemological backgrounds of ecological-economic research, the authors lay foundations for interdisciplinary environmental research and offer guidelines for practical action. In close contact to the findings of present-day biology and economics, they demonstrate the fruitfulness as well as the shortcomings of modern science for the understanding of the proper place of humankind in nature.. Frequently, current problems in the fields of economics, ecology, politics, philosophy and biology are discussed in a kind of "dialogue" with thinkers and poets like Bacon, Quesnay, Kant, Goethe and Novalis...
