The Feedback Game (Kwaliteitenspel Engels)

Dit kaartspel is de Engelse versie van het Kwaliteitenspel. Het is een kleurrijk persoonlijkheidsspel dat je helpt om meer zicht te krijgen op de vraag: Wie ben ik?

Op de andere helft staan woorden die vervormingen (of valkuilen) aanduiden, bv. arrogant, chaotisch.

In this book the old problem of the unfair distribution of wealth is again analyzed as to its root causes. Since money tends to be attracted by those who have more power then others to do so, too often resulting in a flagrantly unfair distribution of wealth where those who work hardest see the least of it, a solution is developed in which the freedom to trade and organize are protected or even enhanced while the power of everyone to be and remain free - their economic power - is equalized as ...

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.

There is a growing interest in the notion and practice of dramaturgy, which is often discussed either as the work of the dramaturg, or as the compositional, cohesive or sense-making aspects of a performance. Drawing on such views, The Practice of Dramaturgy addresses dramaturgy as a shared, politicized and catalytic practice that sets actions into motion in a more speculative rather than an instructive way. In the first part, 'Dramaturgy as Working on Actions', the editors and main authors of...
