Book excerpt: "The story of New Netherland is told in a highly readable fashion suitable for anyone unfamiliar with this important chapter in U.S. colonial history. From the exploration of Henry Hudson in 1609 to the final transfer of the Dutch colony to the English in 1674,this book introduces key aspects of New Netherland: the multicultural makeup of the population, the privatization of colonization, the ability to survive with meager means against overwhelming odds, and the transfer of distinctive Dutch traits, such as toleration, free trade, and social mobility, all of which persisted long after New Netherland became New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and parts of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. New Netherland in a Nutshell will satisfy the questions: who were the Dutch, why did they come here, and what did they do once they got here?" -- Publisher's description.

Download or read book Nanotechnology in a Nutshell written by Christian Ngô and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-04 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new high-level book for professionals from Atlantis Press providing an overview of nanotechnologies now and their applications in a broad variety of fields, including information and communication technologies, environmental sciences and engineering, societal life, and medicine, with provision of customized treatments. The book shows where nanotechnology is now - a fascinating time when the science is transitioning into complex systems with impact on new products. Present and future developments are addressed, as well as a larger number of new industrial and research opportunities deriving from this domain. An overview for professionals, researchers and policy-makers of this very rapidly expanding field. Brief chapters and colour figures with a contained overall length make the book attractive at an attractive price - a must for every professional’s shelf. Mihail C. Roco, National Science Foundation and National Nanotechnology Initiative, wrote the preface underlying the importance and weight of the present book to this exciting and epoch-awakening field of research and applications: “Nanotechnology is well recognized as a science and technology megatrend for the beginning of the 21st century. This book aims to show where nanotechnology is now - transitioning to complex systems and fundamentally new products - and communicates the societal promise of nanotechnology to specialists and the public. Most of what has already made it into the marketplace is in the form of “First Generation” products, passive nanostructures with steady behaviour. Many companies have “Second Generation” products, active nanostructures with changing behaviour during use, and embryonic “Third Generation” products, including 3-dimensional nanosystems. Concepts for “Fourth Generation” products, including heterogeneous molecular nanosystems, are only in research.”

Download or read book Governance and Politics of the Netherlands written by Rudy B. Andeweg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new fifth edition of this leading textbook provides a clear and comprehensive account of governance and politics in the Netherlands. The book has been revised throughout to provide full coverage of recent developments and events, including the latest proposals for constitutional reform. The Netherlands has often been characterized as a place of political calm, with a culture of cooperation and compromise in dealing with key political issues. Now, at a time when climate change and immigration are high on the political agenda, the electorate is growing ever more unpredictable and political fragmentation makes forming majority coalitions increasingly difficult, it is vital to question how the Dutch system will continue to achieve consensus. With this in mind, the authors take a comparative and analytical approach as they examine the features of the country's political system that have long made it a subject of study for political scientists. Governance and Politics of the Netherlands provides both students and scholars with a complete and reliable introduction to a country whose small size belies its importance in comparative political analysis. New to this Edition: - Fully revised and updated throughout to reflect the latest developments, events and issues. - Cites the most recent data sources (e.g. national election study and parliamentary study). - Discusses latest proposals for constitutional reform.

This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims to contribute to the discussion by sketching ways in which the taxation equity-efficiency frontier could be shifted outward in the Netherlands. In a nutshell, we argue that significant efficiency gains could be achieved by shifting the tax burden away from labor, and toward consumption and capital—especially housing. The detrimental impact of the tax-benefit system on labor supply—in particular by mothers—and the insufficient and distortionary use of the value-added tax (VAT) as a revenue-collection mechanism is also highlighted in the paper. This paper also reviews the main features of the Dutch tax system and sketches the contours of a hypothetical tax reform.

This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being known as the Low Countries, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands are far from insignificant. The Benelux Economic Union, which sought economic integration between the three countries, in fact served as the model for the European Union. Additionally, each of the three boasts rich histories, and what they lack in size or population, they make up for in thriving cultural climates. This absorbing volume pays each country its due, surveying the lands, societies, traditions, and histories that have elevated the Low Countries on the world stage.

Download or read book Postcolonial Netherlands written by Gert Oostindie and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Netherlands is home to one million citizens with roots in the former colonies Indonesia, Suriname and the Antilles. Entitlement to Dutch citizenship, pre-migration acculturation in Dutch language and culture as well as a strong rhetorical argument ('We are here because you were there') were strong assets of the first generation. This 'postcolonial bonus' indeed facilitated their integration. In the process, the initial distance to mainstream Dutch culture diminished. Postwar Dutch society went through serious transformations. Its once lily white population now includes two million non-Western migrants and the past decade witnessed heated debates about multiculturalism. The most important debates about the postcolonial migrant communities centeracknowledgmentgement and the inclusion of colonialism and its legacies in the national memorial culture. This resulted in state-sponsored gestures, ranging from financial compensation to monuments. The ensemble of such gestures reflect a guilt-ridden and inconsistent attempt to 'do justice' to the colonial past and to Dutch citizens with colonial roots. Postcolonial Netherlands is the first scholarly monograph to address these themes in an internationally comparative framework. Upon its publication in the Netherlands (2010) the book elicited much praise, but also serious objections to some of the author's theses, such as his prediction about the diminishing relevance of postcolonial roots"--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Netherlands is one of a handful of countries in which bank enterprise and national financial law give rise to a large number of international financial transactions. It is important then for practitioners in other countries to gain more than a notional understanding of the specific features of Dutch financial law, as well as a clear working knowledge of how Dutch financial law interacts with supranational regulatory and policy regimes affecting financial transactions. Toward this end, this very useful book provides a practical but nevertheless thorough survey of Dutch financial law, with lucid explanations of such topics as the following: specific rules applicable to investment institutions; specific rules applicable to debt instruments; offering securities in both primary and secondary markets; set-off and calculation of obligations of market participants (netting); structures for custody and book-entry transfer of securities; obtaining and terminating listings; mandatory bids, competing bids, friendly and unfriendly bids under public offering regulations; alternative investment funds and fund governance; meaning, jargon and function of derivatives, forwards, futures, options, swaps, etc.; securities repurchase and lending transactions; covered bond regulations; caretaking duties in private and public law; structure of legal proceedings of a prospectus liability claim; unfair commercial practices rules; case law in insider trading and market manipulation; and securities litigation in Dutch private, criminal, and administrative law. Written in clear, easy-to-follow English, this book makes Dutch financial law accessible to lawyers, business persons, and others whose work entails financial transactions in the Netherlands. It also serves as an admirable text for students and academics in the field of financial law.

Download or read book Casual Work Arrangements and Platform-Based Work written by Ilda Durri and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platform work – in which work activities are channelled through web platforms or apps – has emerged as one of the major transformations in the world of work over the past decade. Although platform work presents many of the labour law issues related to casual work – often linked to insecure or precarious working conditions – until this book, no in-depth research has been conducted on specifically positioning platform work in the context of casual work arrangements. The author systematically evaluates how strategies aimed at regulating casual work can be extended to enhance the employment relationships and working conditions of platform workers. The analysis proceeds through a detailed comparative legal analysis of casual work in four industrialized countries – the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy – shedding light on the divergent regulatory approaches to this work typology. Then, it moves on to EU legislators’ efforts to develop a regulatory matrix on casual work, focusing on directives such as those on fixed-term work, working time, and transparent and predictable working conditions. The author concludes with recommendations for redefining the EU legal initiative on platform work, in light of the national and EU legal instruments examined in this contribution. Issues, such as the insecure nature of work, unpaid stand-by time, and work insecurity, come to the fore. The purpose of this book is to assist policymakers and social partners in finding viable legal solutions to tackle some of the labour protection challenges posed by platform work. At the same time, it serves as a reminder to EU policymakers, that existing legal instruments on casual work constitute an available blueprint which could be beneficial in dealing with such regulatory problems. Issues and topics covered, in a nutshell, include the following: what is captured under the label of casual work arrangements; the shared features between casual work and platform work, with a focus on their insecure working conditions; the employment status insecurity; the insecurity of working hours; the uncertainty of the continuity of employment; the income insecurity; peculiar traits of platform work; the development of the EU regulatory matrix on casual work; the relevance of the directives on working time, fixed-term work, and transparent and predictable working conditions, for the protection of platform workers; and the improvement of the proposal for a Platform Work Directive in light of the above instruments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have extensively documented the historical and socioeconomic impact of the Dutch East India Company. They have paid much less attention to the company's significant influence on Asian art and visual culture. Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia addresses this imbalance with a wide range of contributions covering such topics as Dutch and Chinese art in colonial and indigenous households; the rise of Hollandmania in Japan; and the Dutch painters who worked at the court of the Persian shahs. Together, the contributors shed new light on seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture--and the company that spread it across Asia.--Amazon.com.
