Although everybody is familiar with the dodo bird, very few people know its history. Yet this history is compelling when read as a fable of the negative impact of humans on Earth's ecosystems. The author describes the complexity of the factors involved in animal extinction. Although we think of ourselves as more ecologically aware than our ancestors, we are propelling extinction to alarming rates.

Het boek bevat behalve een historische kroniek over het Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Vlaanderen (de belangrijkste geldschieter voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek) een reeks van 14 portretten van de belangrijkste Vlaamse onderzoekers. De portretten werden opgetekend door de wetenschapsjournalist Jan van Pelt. Het boek is ruim geïllustreerd. Koning Albert I hield in 1927 een toespraak waarin hij opriep om in België meer te investeren in de 'zuivere wetenschap als onmisbare voorwaarde voor de toegepaste wetenschap'. In navolging daarvan werd in 1928 het Nationaal Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk onderzoek (NFWO) opgericht. Sinds de jaren 1990 werd het NFWO opgesplitst in het Vlaamse FWO en het Franstalige FNRS. Van bij zijn start heeft het (N)FWO duizenden onderzoekers en projecten gesteund en miljoenen euro's kunnen vrijmaken om fundamenteel wetenschappelijk onderzoek op basis van excellentie te bevorderen. Bij de 80ste verjaardag wil het FWO met KENNISMAKERS een balans opmaken. Veertien Vlaamse professoren die allen een Methusalemdotatie krijgen, komen aan het woord. Opgetekend door journalist Jan Van Pelt spreken deze topwetenschappers over de lange weg die werd afgelegd en de grote uitdagingen die hun wetenschapsdisciplines te wachten staat. Herman Balthazar maakt een historisch overzicht van deze periode.

Presenting analysis of how space is socially constructed, unmade and reconstructed, Thrift provides the reader with a direct understanding of how social theory can be used to make sense of spatial forms and practices, and how spatial relations are made durable over space and time.

Most artists earn very little. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of aspiring young artists. Do they give to the arts willingly or unknowingly? Governments and other institutions also give to the arts, to raise the low incomes. But their support is ineffective: subsidies only increase the artists' poverty.The economy of the arts is exceptional. Although the arts operate successfully in the marketplace, their natural affinity is with gift-giving, rather than with commercial exchange. People believe that artists are selflessly dedicated to art, that price does not reflect quality, and that the arts are free. But is it true?This unconventional multidisciplinary analysis explains the exceptional economy of the arts. Insightful illustrations from the practice of a visual artist support the analysis.
