In this book the classical Greek construction problems are explored in a didactical, enquiry based fashion using Interactive Geometry Software. The book traces the history of these problems, stating them in modern terminology. By focusing on constructions and the use of GeoGebra the reader is confronted with the same problems that ancient mathematicians once faced. The reader can step into the footsteps of Euclid, Viète and Cusanus amongst others and then by experimenting and discovering geometric relationships far exceed their accomplishments. Exploring these problems with the neusis-method lets him discover a class of interesting curves. By experimenting he will gain a deeper understanding of how mathematics is created. More than 100 exercises guide him through methods which were developed to try and solve the problems. The exercises are at the level of undergraduate students and only require knowledge of elementary Euclidean geometry and pre-calculus algebra. It is especially well-suited for those students who are thinking of becoming a mathematics teacher and for mathematics teachers.

This comparative study explores the impact of populist majoritarianism on Greek and Turkish democratic transition. Using the case studies of Greece and Turkey, the author argues that while majoritarianism is often celebrated as a manifestation of popular sovereignty, it can undermine institutional performance. In cases of transition states where social capital is scarce and polarization is high, it can even upset the process of democratic consolidation, contributing to a confrontational and inefficient democratic regime. A “mild democracy” would require a calibrated system of checks and balances, trust- and consensus-building mechanisms. This book will be of use to students and scholars interested in the fields of Greek and Turkish politics, law and democratization.

"De Akropolis van Athene is een iconische rots die oprijst in de hoofdstad van Griekenland. Hij geldt als het belangrijkste toeristische doel voor bezoekers aan Athene. De Akropolis wordt gedomineerd door klassieke tempels - voor velen het hoogtepunt van Griekenland of zelfs de hele 'westerse' beschaving. 00Maar achter deze spectaculaire façade gaat een onbekende rijkdom aan geschiedenis en verhalen schuil. In de Middeleeuwen werd in de grootste tempel een christelijke kathedraal gevestigd. Daarna werd dezelfde ruimte gebruikt als moskee, te midden van een levendig Turks garnizoensdorp. En in de negentiende eeuw werd de Akropolis een symbool van de wederopstanding van het klassieke Griekenland. In dit boek belichten Eric Moormann en Janric van Rookhuijzen de geschiedenis van de Akropolis van de Bronstijd tot de eenentwintigste eeuw. Naast klassieke Atheners laten zij ook onbekende figuren uit andere tijden uit de schaduw treden. Dit is hoog tijd, want als geen ander monument laat de Akropolis, met zijn zware symbolische en politieke bagage, zien hoe 'het Westen' met zijn eigen verleden is omgesprongen."--
