Book Description
"How can the public library fulfill its classic social mission in our individualized and sometimes fragmented society? And how does such a library fit into the urban public space, in which commerce and consumption seem to reign supreme? This requires innovative library work and architecture, the strength of imagination and the willingness to think countercyclical. In 'Imagination and Participation' librarians Rob Bruijnzeels and Joyce Sternheim examine the most important transitions in public library work. They spoke with experts and Dutch and Flemish top architects who have designed public libraries in the Netherlands and abroad. These conversations and the authors own insights and experiences have resulted in a new perspective on contemporary library work that has been translated into starting points for the future architecture of public libraries. The authors have been working on the transition of library work and its consequences for the architecture and design of library buildings for quite some time. They are members of the Ministerie van Verbeelding, 'Ministry of Imagination', a design collective that has designed a number of notable libraries. Includes projects and conversations with leading Dutch and Flemish architects a.o: Jo Coenen, Chris van Duijn, Francine Houben, Winy Maas, Vincent Panhuysen and Michiel Riedijk."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper.

Book Description
Many think they know the legends behind tulipmania and the legacy of the Dutch East India Tea Company, but what basic knowledge of Dutch history and culture should be passed on to future generations? A Key to Dutch History and its resulting overview of historical highlights, assembled by a number of specialists in consultation with the Dutch general public, provides a thought-provoking and timely answer. The democratic process behind the volume is reminiscent of the way in which the Netherlands has succeeded for centuries at collective craftsmanship, and says as much about the Netherlands as does the outcome of the opinions voiced.
