It is a truth rarely acknowledged that a middle-aged English man, disinterested and diminished by life on the small island, could do worse than run away and marry an Amsterdam drag queen. There is, of course, much more to the story.

A memoir of kept promises, marriage, identity, thwarted ambition, euthanasia, grief and always show tunes in the face of adversity.

‘A memoir to die for.’

Dorothy DeMoore

Arnhem after Arnhem.

Why this reissue? As a child I experienced the first week of the Battle of Arnhem. On September 25, 1944, our family was granted refugee status. For nine months we and many others roamed the country from haystack to farm, from chicken coop to cowshed, from guest house to paper mill. Travelling on farm carts, handcarts and on foot. And as bonus the bombing, shelling and V-1 missiles.

Returning home to the ruins of the city of Arnhem, the burning and smelly waste in the onc...

The Financial Markets Professional training is a post-graduate training that is provided to personnel of banks and other financial institutions with the aim of providing them insight into the workings of a dealing room: which business lines exist within the dealingroom; per business line, which desks are recognized; per desk, which products are traded; and per product, how are these products traded, the processes around trading, which parties are involved, which systems are used for each prod...

I am 26 years old. During obstacles and life experiences I've learned how hard life could be. While fighting a huge identity crisis I decided to head straight on that self-discovery journey. Through almost two years of therapy, I've received so many tools that I want to share with the people.

The statistics of people not knowing their true identity is frightening. And, if by using my own story I can help some of them, than my dream will become reality.

In this book, I discuss the important issue of tolerance and acceptance in a polarizing society and where to draw the line. At a time when our society seems increasingly divided by opposites and different views, it is vital to consider how we can deal with these challenges.

The concept of tolerance and acceptance is not new, but the rapidly changing dynamics of our contemporary world have further emphasized its importance. We see that political, social, cultural and religious divisions are gr...

I am the Archangel Lucifer, the Lightbearer, fallen from Heaven but not from the Light.

The Angel Verses is my offering to those who dare to look beyond what is permitted, beyond the comforting lie.

This is not a book to be read lightly. It is a poetic-philosophical manifesto that oscillates between autobiography, spirituality, and mythical imagination. Rubèn Cottenjé guides you through the silent streets of Bruges, the resonances of inner life, and the fringes of a civilisation losing its ...

When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...

Albert Einstein, Lorentz and Minkowski published in 1905 the Theory of Special Relativity and Einstein published in 1915 his field theory of general relativity based on a curved 4-dimensional space-time continuum to integrate the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field in one unified field. Since then the method of Einstein’s unifying field theory has been developed by many others in more than 4 dimensions resulting finally in the well-known 10-dimensional and 11-dimensional “s...

Since the late nineties of the last century, the business started to use the term “Business Model” and authors began to analyze the phenomenon and created Business Model concepts. Anyhow, regardless of the fact that this buzzword emerges everywhere, still dissension exists concerning the definition. Multiple Business Model concepts exists, but are not actively used in daily business life and the bridge to controlling is never made.

In this book, I want to answer three questions: What is i...
