The texts edited in this volume deal with angelology and anthropology, and particularly with the nature and the functions of immaterial substances like angels and the human rational soul. Marchia discusses such controversial issues as universal hylomorphism, i.e., whether angels and the rational soul are composed of both matter and form (q. 13), the immortality of the soul (qq. 18–19), and the nature and the object of the intellect and will (qq. 20, 21), as well as the functionality of the angelic intellect – whether angels understand through discursive reasoning (q. 23), and how they can speak with each other (q. 26). The problematic nature of the relationship between the material and the immaterial is approached through asking whether an angel can produce a material object (q. 22) and whether a material object can be the source of an angel’s understanding of that object (q. 25). A particularly interesting treatment concerns how angels, immaterial substances, can be in a place (q. 16); this treatment includes Marchia’s attempt to provide a physical theory explaining why an angel cannot move over some distance instantaneously. Throughout these fifteen questions, Marchia challenges the ideas of some of the best minds of the later Middle Ages, not only major figures of the thirteenth century like Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, Henry of Ghent, and Giles of Rome but also fourteenth-century authors like John Duns Scotus, Hervaeus Natalis, Walter Burley, and Peter Auriol.

Business Planning for Digital Libraries
InternationalApproaches
L
This book brings together international experience of business planning for digital libraries: the business case, the planning processes, the costs and benefits, practice and standards, and comparison with the traditional library. Although there is a vast literature already on other aspects of digital libraries, business planning is a subject that until now has not been systematically integrated in a book. Digital libraries are being created not only by traditional libraries, but by museums, archives, media organizations, and any organization concerned with managing scientific and cultural information. Business planning for digital libraries is the process by which the business aims,products, and services of the eventual system are identified, together with how the digital library service will contribute to the overall business and mission of the host organization. These provide the context and rationale, which is then combined with normal business plan elements such as technical solutions, investment, income and expenditure, projected benefits or returns, marketing, risk analysis, management, and governance. Business Planning for Digital Librariesis designed for practitioners in the cultural and scientific sectors, for students in information sciences and cultural management, and in particular for people engaged in managing digital libraries and repositories, in electronic publishing and e-learning, and in teaching and studying in these fields.

Congo in België
Koloniale cultuur in de metropool Vincent Viaene, David Van Reybrouck, Bambi Ceuppens (eds)
België schiep Congo, maar schiep Congo ook België? In hoeverre werd het 20ste-eeuwse België voor een stuk gevormd door zijn kolonie? Die vraag stelde de toonaangevende Congolese historicus Isidore Ndaywel enige jaren geleden. Deze interdisciplinaire bundel biedt een antwoord. Congo in België belicht de invloed van de kolonie op de Belgische cultuur en samenleving, van hoog tot laag. Het boek vormt zo een kaleidoscoop van het verschil dat Congo – en de Congolezen –maakten in de Belgische geschiedenis.

Geleerd in de tropen
Leuven, Congo & de wetenschap, 1885-1960 Ruben Mantels
Van de dagen van Leopold II tot de dag dat koning Boudewijn Congo onafhankelijk verklaarde, was de Leuvense universiteit actief in de kolonie. In de onafhankelijkheidsstrijd speelde Leuven een voortrekkersrol met de Lovanium-universiteit die zij nabij Leopoldstad oprichtte. Ruben Mantels brengt een intrigerend portret van Lovanium, de universiteit onder de tropenzon. Geleerd in de tropen is een geschiedenis van een universiteit en een kolonie, van ‘blanken’ en ‘zwarten’, van kolonisatie en dekolonisatie.
