How do social structures and group behaviors arise from the interaction of individuals? Growing Artificial Societies approaches this question with cutting-edge computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviors such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat, and trade are seen to "emerge" from the interaction of individual agents following a few simple rules. In their program, named Sugarscape, Epstein and Axtell begin the development of a "bottom up" social science that is capturing the attention of researchers and commentators alike. The study is part of the 2050 Project, a joint venture of the Santa Fe Institute, the World Resources Institute, and the Brookings Institution. The project is an international effort to identify conditions for a sustainable global system in the next century and to design policies to help achieve such a system. Growing Artificial Societies is also available on CD-ROM, which includes about 50 animations that develop the scenarios described in the text. Copublished with the Brookings Institution.

How do we reflect upon ourselves and our concerns in relation to society, and vice versa? Human reflexivity works through 'internal conversations' using language, but also emotions, sensations and images. Most people acknowledge this 'inner-dialogue' and can report upon it. However, little research has been conducted on 'internal conversations' and how they mediate between our ultimate concerns and the social contexts we confront. In this book, Margaret Archer argues that reflexivity is progressively replacing routine action in late modernity, shaping how ordinary people make their way through the world. Using interviewees' life and work histories, she shows how 'internal conversations' guide the occupations people seek, keep or quit; their stances towards structural constraints and enablements; and their resulting patterns of social mobility.

Het leven gaat steeds sneller. De snelheid van de technologische innovatie neemt toe, maatschappelijke posities en waarden veranderen in hoog tempo en door het toegenomen aantal keuzes dat we tegenwoordig hebben, zijn we steeds onderweg naar meer en nieuwer. Volgens Hartmut Rosa leiden deze versnellingen tot een nieuw soort vervreemding: we raken steeds verder van onszelf verwijderd. Rosa's antwoord hierop is een pleidooi voor resonantie, een ervaring waarin de mens zelf geen actieve rol speelt, maar die hem overkomt. Een ervaring waarin de wereld op zichzelf zin heeft. Hiervoor hebben we volgens Rosa drie bronnen ter beschikking: religie, kunst en natuur.

The knowledge about how human choices are made has grown considerably in recent years. Fields such as social psychology and brain science are booming, especially in the Netherlands. The very accessible written book How people make choices: the psychology of decision-making gives in more than 100 pages a unique overview of the latest social-psychological insights in this area. In four chapters the 'limitations' of the brain are highlighted: - The irrational brain. People often do not follow the rules for logical and rational choices. However, this sometimes leads to even better decisions. - The automatic brain. Our choices are determined by all kinds of unconscious factors, and we often don't know why we made a certain choice. - The mindless brain. Are we really free to choose? Today, a number of scientists claim that free will does not exist. Are they right? - The social brain. Is man in heart and soul a social being who is really concerned with someone else's fate? Or is it just a thin layer of civilization? The last chapter looks at what the Netherlands would look like if policymakers made use of these findings when setting out policy. How can people be tempted into a healthier lifestyle? To energy-saving behavior? To sensible financial planning? And maybe it can even do something about the chronic political discontent in people.

Werken is met meer of minder inspanning bezig zijn om iets te verrichten of te voltooien. Deze roman bestaat uit vijf gesprekken ? of misschien zijn het vergaderingen ? waarin werk centraal staat. Een professor, een manager op rust, een werkkracht in de culturele sector, een veelbelovende vorser en een jonge schrijver proberen hun dagen zinvol door te brengen. De arbeidsomstandigheden blijken danig veranderd in de eenentwintigste eeuw. Of we werken om te leven of leven om te werken is niet meteen duidelijk. In 'Werk werk werk' behandelt Christophe Van Gerrewey, met evenveel humor als ernst, een veronachtzaamd thema in de literatuur. Hij schetst een beeld van een generatie die misschien wel werk heeft, maar nauwelijks zekerheid of toekomstperspectieven.

In many of our cities streets are dying, killed by traffic, planning mistakes, housing shortage and dwindling services. Whole neighbourhoods are dis- appearing almost overnight. Well known landmarks vanish. Massive new buildings and roads rise up to dominate the district. Much of this is the result of slum clearance and redevelopment programmes. But what makes an area a slum, and who decides that it is one? How can the communities affected best make their voices heard? This book aims to Change the street: identifying the problems and suggesting action, based on the success of people who have managed to make their streets attractive and pleasant to live in, looking after the buildings, planting trees and flowers-most of all making them 'streets for people'.
