Poetry

Paperback. This volume is a new interpretation of Plato's earlier and later Theory of Ideas, starting from a detailed analysis of the dialogue, The Sophist. 
The way in which Plato announces his novel Metaphysics has been puzzling scholars for a long time. Did Plato really introduce Change into the Transcendent World and thus abandon his Theory of Unchangeable Forms? 
Many of Plato's commentators have claimed that the use of modern techniques of logico-semantical analysis can be a valuable aid in unravelling this problem, as well as other difficulties Plato raised and attempted to solve. In this commentary, Plato's own logico-semantical approach to metaphysical problems is followed.

Modern German poetry virtually begins with the adoption of the alexandrine and other Romance verse-forms by Martin Opitz in 1624. There were earlier unsuccessful attempts to introduce them. This book is concerned with one of them: the use of alexandrines on German broadsheets published in Holland before 1624 and the important part played in it by the engraver Christoffel van Sichem I, who appears here in a new light. His life and work and associates in Basel and in Holland are explored in depth, and much new information about him is brought to light, which will be of interest to art historians. The literary historian will find much that is new about the early stages of German baroque literature, including a study of a non-Opitzian tradition of German poetry in Switzerland.

Paperback. This book concentrates on the activities of Jewish immigrants in the textile industry of The Netherlands in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Extensive research by the author has made it possible to present the case histories of virtually all Jewish textile entrepreneurs in that period. The textile industry in general was very important for the Netherlands during this period of industrial development and political upheaval, in view of its colonial ties with what is now Indonesia, the regained independence from France in 1813 and the Belgian secession of 1830.

Paperback. This volume revives a most remarkable essay by the French philosopher Jean-Marie Guyau (1854-1888) on the genesis of our idea of Time. The original text, La Genèse de l'idée de temps, written in Guyau's widely acclaimed style, is accompanied here by its first translation into English, and by several chapters highlighting Guyau's thought and contemporary significance. Central to his argument is his thesis that time is an acquired organisation of representations enabling humans to store and remember past events. The cognitive functions or strategies that realize this organisation nearly always establish coherent episodes that are situated in concrete, spatially defined contexts. Such a position is remarkably consistent with modern cognitive views about knowledge representation and memory. Guyau is in fact so modern that readers may at times forget they are reading a century-old text.

This work deals with the general problem of atmospheric and internal instabilities of super- and hypergiants in relation to their evolutionary phase. New topics discussed are stellar variability in relation to the observed pulsations and shock waves. Other important features are the discussion of dust formation, maser emission and the relation of these phenomena to stellar winds. The volume, which contains invited reviews and contributed papers, will appeal to astrophysicists, research workers and graduate students.

This text deals with the law of evidence with respect to the involvement of forensic experts (from many fields) in the adjudication of criminal cases. This subject is discussed from various perspectives, such as comparative legal studies, theories of evidence, paradigms of evidence scholarship, and (European) convergency of legal systems. The book should be of great value to all those involved with law, evidence, justice, and forensic science.
