‎his very first letter sketch in 1876 until his last paintings in 1890. In many paintings, most of which are now considered to be key works in his oeuvre, he addressed the paradoxical task of representing night through color. Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night presents new insight on Van Goghs depictions of the twilight and dark hours, and is the first volume to focus on this aspect of the artists career. This book explores the different layers of content of these works: tradition and modernity, rest at the end of the day, the cycles of nature and rural labour, the poetry of the night, and artistic and literary influences. It also discusses in depth the stylistic and technical methods Van Gogh used to realize his effects of dark and light. This publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the MOMA in New York (from the 21st of September 2008 until the 5th of January 2009) and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (from the 13rd February until the 7th of June 2009).

‎Les representations du crepuscule et de la nuit sont comme un fil rouge dans la carriere de Van Gogh et comptent pour la plupart parmi ses plus grands chefs d'oeuvre. 'Les mangeurs de pommes de terre' et la serie 'des semeurs au soleil' couchant en sont de celebres exemples. Avant meme de devenir artiste, Vincent van Gogh eprouvait deja une predilection pour l'ambiance du soir et de la nuit. Il l'associait a la poesie et a une impression de securite. Dans ce livre, le lecteur decouvre comment Vincent etudie les differents aspects des heures nocturnes et les combine avec d'autres themes, comme le combat mene par l'etre humain face a la durete de l'epoque moderne et l'emotion qui l'accompagne, ou encore le contraste entre la nature, grotesque et eternelle, et la vie insignifiante et ephemere de l'homme. Les sources litteraires qui ont influence l'artiste sont egalement abordees, ainsi que les procedes techniques et stylistiques qu'il a utilises pour rendre la lumiere et l'obscurite‎

‎Extremely rare first printing of what is arguably the world's first facsimile, namely Mads Vingaard's 1576 reproduction of the first printing of the Law of Sealand, originally printed by Ghemen in 1505 and here re-issued in exact reproduction. This wonderful print is not merely a ""line to line, word to word""-reproduction, but a facsimile making use of the same types and exact reproductions of the woodcuts. It is generally believed that ""the first facsimile in the history of the book was a manuscript of Austrian provenance - the Goldene Bulle - reproduced in 1697 by the Frankfurt law historian Heinrich Günther Thülemeyer and Johann Friedrich Fleischer"" (from ""Imagination, Almanach"" 1986-1993, Sammelheft. 1993"" 2006). The present reproduction predates that work otherwise hailed as the first ""facsimile"" in the history of the book by more than a century!Some credit Plantin in the 17th century with being the first to produce a facsimile. This is also about a century after Mats Vingaard's facsimile of the Law of Sealand. Like the laws of Sealand and The Law of Scania, The Law of Jutland"" constitutes a law book (""Rechtsbuch"" in German) in the sense of a private collection of those common laws pertaining to inheritance, ownership, marriage, measurement of land, murder, theft, vandalism, etc. that were commonly applicable in the region.The medieval Danish regional laws possess an immense importance both linguistically and legally, and the influence is evident even today, both in the development of our legal system and of our written language. At the time of their foundation, the Danish kingdom was divided into jurisdictional areas, lands, that in turn were divided into townships. Each land had a county council, which also served as a judicial court. It quite quickly became standard for the township court to be able to refer verdicts and rulings to the county/land council. In the 13th century, there were three main lands, namely Jutland, Sealand and Skåne. With time, these three lands came to rule over all townships, and thus, we find three ruling legal books from the 13th century, namely the three earliest Danish law books - Jyske Lov, the Sealandic Laws, and Skånske Lov. They were all printed for the first time in 1505 and 1505 respectively. It is not until 1683 (with ""Danske Lov"") that Denmark gets a law that covers the entire kingdom. The 1576 facsimile is scarce and Thesaurus estimates that only ab. 10 copies still exist on private hands.‎

The essays collected here have in common the concept of boundaries, which is defined according to discipline, and movement through boundaries. The essays cover a range of topics and periods. The first section consists of literary approaches to boundaries, ranging widely in subject matter from Norman drama to sixteenth-century goodnight ballads. The second section includes mainly historical studies of such topics as social mobility in Geoffrey of Monmouth's twelfth-century History of the Kings of Britain, post-1453 Byzantine identity, and Milanese Renaissance musical genres. Individually and as a group, the essays contribute fresh insights into well-known and some less familiar works of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Contributions include: Linda Georgianna, 'Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae: lessons in self-fashioning for the bastards of Britain'; Robert L.A.

‎Scarce first German edition of this hugely influential textbook in optics.""Smith wrote on optics and harmonics. In 1738 he published A Compleat System of Optics in Four Books, viz. A Popular, at Mathematical, a Mechanical, and a Philosophical Treatise. Both comprehensive and reliable, the work became probably the most influential optical textbook of the eighteenth century. It was also published in Dutch in 1753, in German in 1755, and in two different French translations in 1767, In 1778 an abridged version was published in English. In turn, its popularity helped to establish the eighteenth-century conviction that light is particulate."" (DSB).‎

""His paper ""Teoria kinetyczna opalescencji gazów w stanie krytycznym"" (""kinetic Theory of Gas Opalescence at the Critical Stale"" 1907) - the paper offered in the German version - shows why the critical point plays such an important role and states that the opalescence of pure gas also should be observable under normal conditions: ""Each of us has observed it innumerable times when admiring the blue of the sky or the glow of the rising sun."" Smoluchowski combined the theory of fluctuations with the results of Lord Rayleigh’s researches on the blue of the sky" his finding (Einstein also took part in the discussion) was that the blueness of the sky was caused by fluctuations in the density of the air. Smoiuchowski’s laboratory production of sky blue closed the investigation to a certain extent.that pure air can opalesce in the laboratory under normal conditions.‎

‎Women in Educational Policy-making. A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of the Situation in the E.U.‎

‎Leuven, Universitaire Pers, 1999 Paperback, English, original editor's jacket, 16x24 cm., 148 pp. ISBN 9789061869528.‎

‎ Studia Paedagogica : 24. Enhancing the participation of women in high-level decision-making in several sectors of society has been on the agenda of national and international institutions for several years. These endeavours, however, are not always equally successful. In this book, the authors evaluate the participation of women in the field of educational policy-making in western Europe, both from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective. Over the last decennia, many countries have taken legal steps in order to eliminate structural obstacles to women's access to high level positions; nevertheless, women still take up only a small minority of these functions, which suggests that cultural factors are obstructing women's empowerment as much as juridical factors. Increasing the numbers of women as a purely quantitative approach to the problem is inadequate, because it leaves these cultural elements unchallenged. Therefore, in the first, theoretical part of this book, the authors address the question of the relationship between women's participation in politics and the question of social emancipation. Through a deconstruction of the different arguments for increasing women's participation in policy-making, the authors try to indicate in what sense or under what conditions women's participation in politics can address not only the problem of women's equal rights, but also that of engendering a less discriminative, more democratic and emancipatory politics. In the second part, they analyse on an empirical level the participation of women in educational policy-making in the member countries of the E.U. The aim thereby is to explore some general tendencies and to formulate hypotheses concerning interrelationships between some of the data. This part gives rise to a number of interesting questions for further research. ‎
