In the Footsteps of the Wolf The hidden life of an iconic animal Jan Loos An impressive introduction to an animal that has captured the imagination for centuries Facts and fables about the return of the wolf And about how wolves can coexist with humans in a good way More than 150 years after its near-extinction, the wolf retakes the last part of its former habitat, Northwestern Europe. In the meantime, the region is gradually becoming an important wolf crossroads.

In this book, wolf expert Jan Loos introduces the reader to an indigenous top predator. He explains how wolves live and takes us along their journey through Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, over rivers, along dirt roads and through forests. We watch them roam around and settle. How they date a mate and bring new life into this world.

Jan Loos can call himself one of the most important wolf experts of the Low Countries.

Already in 2011, he launched the Welcome Wolf campaign to prepare the public opinion for the return of an indigenous top predator. When the first wolf set foot again on Flemish soil in 2018, he was at the forefront of observations and information. He is co-founder of nature association Landschap vzw.

The Discovery of Nature Hans Mulder Magnificent book about the evolution of our views on nature Illustrated with unique images from historical collections The ideal gift for lovers of nature and history From the early sixteenth century onwards, more and more studies were published in Europe with a very lively depiction of plants and animals. In the centuries that followed, more and more research into the natural world (from very large to very small) was conducted and the art of depicting this wondrous nature was perfected.

Many of the most important natural history manuscripts, printed books, drawings and watercolours can be found in the Artis Library, part of the Allard Pierson, the collections of the University of Amsterdam. With the help of this material, the author unfolds twenty stories. About dragons, insects, bacteria, birds and much more.

The result is an entertaining and richly illustrated book. The discoveries described are supported by numerous anecdotes about the special men and women who, between 1500 and 1900, helped us understand the life around us and that of our own species so much better.

Hans Mulder was trained as a historian and works as curator of the Artis Library of the University of Amsterdam. He publishes on the history of books and natural history; topics that are part of his lectures at the University of Amsterdam.

Worrying

Action as a remedy Filip Raes Simple answers to the most frequently asked questions Scientific research translated into a powerful to-the-point approach Very recognisable and with striking examples What if...? I'm worried that... Shouldn’t I have... ?

We are often convinced that by worrying we can come up with a solution for things that occupy our minds . The opposite is true: all that worrying keeps you stuck in your head, and you rarely come to action and solutions. Your life is 'on a break' and in the meantime you will only feel worse.

This book describes how Filip Raes, as a behavioral therapist, works with worrying.

Even though you can never completely ban worrying from your life, you can deal with it differently. By noticing worrying more quickly and at times taking action much faster, you paralyze worrying, and there is more time in your life for things that really matter.

Filip Raes is a clinical psychologist, behavioural therapist and professor of psychology at renowned Belgian university KU Leuven. He conducts scientific research into what makes people vulnerable to emotional problems, such as depression and anxiety, and focuses mainly on the harmful role that worrying plays. He also develops and researches treatments that address this vulnerability.

Pain And how to fight it Bart Morlion One in five people suffer from chronic pain An international expert stands up for more awareness about pain, to strengthen the fight Because pain relief goes far beyond punctures and pills What is pain? Why does pain exist? How do we control it, both in classical medicine and through alternative methods? And how do we prevent it in the first place?

What is the role of pain in a society dominated by heavy workloads, omnipresent social media and hectic lifestyles? To what extent do traumatic experiences, the environment and mind-set have an influence on (the experience of) pain? How can we deal with it as patients, society, policymakers, employers?

Pain doctor Bart Morlion aims to offer an answer to these questions. He discusses the topic from a medical as well as a humane and social perspective; from the power of the brain in pain prevention to the art of acceptance.

Prof. dr. Bart Morlion is an internationally sought-after speaker and has given more than 450 lectures and seminars on pain management worldwide. He is the head of anaesthesiology and coordinator of the Leuven Centre for Algology at the University Hospitals of Leuven. He teaches pain management and pharmacology at the Catholic University of Leuven and several university colleges. Morlion is a member of the European Pain Federation EFIC’s executive board.

High Sensitive Parenting Bieke Geenen Most highly sensitive children have a highly sensitive parent Built around nine triggers that can cause higly sensitive parents to be out of balance Full of practical tips and specific examples High sensitivity seems to be hereditary to a great extent. This doesn’t make parenting easy. On the contrary. Because it’s not only your child who is highly sensitive (which demands a lot of extra care) but also you - as a parent - have to take your pitfalls and triggers into account. It is not easy to stay balanced when you are a highly sensitive person yourself.

High sensitivity shouldn't cause any difficulties if you are able to recognize the signs and know how to act. In this book, coach Bieke Geenen explains which 9 triggers can cause high sensitive people to lose their balance (such as criticism, tiredness, worrying and overstimulation).

Only with You The return of romantic love Rika Ponnet The new bestseller by relationship expert Rika Ponnet A remarkable plea for romantic love Rika Ponnet's previous book ‘Stay with Me’ has sold over 50,000 copies ‘So many people are afraid. That, in my opinion, is the most important evolution today: we are paralysed by our fear of failure, also when it comes to love,’ Rika Ponnet writes. ‘When we are in love, we feel on top of the world and yet, we are all terrified. Terrified of getting hurt, of being neglected. So we hope that a rational and scientific approach to love will be the answer.’

Ponnet’s bestseller Stay with Me challenged the way we think about love and relationships. In her ground-breaking new book, she explains why it’s about time that we start to believe in romantic love again, and how we are only able to fall in love if we dare to let go.

Love. An Impossible Desire? all rights available

Our society has become one of the highest highs, of a continuous striving to do better, go further, fly higher. What is worse: we hardly ever think about the fact that those highs do not make up for the lows. We do not realise that there is a difference between what makes us happy for a short period of time and what gives meaning to our lives.

But how are we to learn to make that distinction again if we can no longer fall back on the number of likes and comments we receive online? What can we gain from dealing with the ups and downs of life – and with each other – in a more truthful way? And what does it really mean to ‘be happy’?

Partner Violence and Emotionally Focused Therapy Fighting for love Jef Slootmaeckers & Lieven Migerode Concrete manual for therapists and caretakers Honest answers to situations that are difficult to discuss With cases and practical examples Partner violence sometimes presents a difficult situation for therapists and social workers. It seems difficult to understand that couples get into a spiral of violence, but still love each other. How can couples regain control of what is happening?

How do you help people to preserve their love whilst securing their relationship at the same time?

This book shows that the vast majority of partner violence is linked to love, and is rather about getting estranged from each other than about a power struggle between two partners. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and concrete methods and cases, it provides a comprehensive and practical guide for relationship therapists and anyone dealing with the matter.

Jef Slootmaeckers is a social assistant, contextual systems therapist and certified EFT therapist and supervisor. For years he has been working exclusively on partner violence and has been giving training at home and abroad. In addition to his private practice, he is affiliated with various training institutions. Lieven Migerode is a certified EFT therapist, supervisor and trainer.

Gigantism

17,500 copies sold

From too big to fail to slower, smaller and more humane Geert Noels The long-awaited new book of economist Geert Noels Our world suffers from a fundamental disease that derails everything: gigantism How do we make our economy healthy again?

Our world suffers from gigantism. Leading companies and organisations keep getting bigger and more powerful. This Champions’ League effect kills healthy competition, hampers sustainable growth and oppresses mankind, with diseases of affluence such as burnout or obesity as a result.

A healthy future for our economy will be a smaller, slower and humane one. No utopian economy, but an economy that takes into account all the dimensions of mankind: the social, the ecological and the economical. An economy that isn’t led by an obsession with growth that burdens the next generation with debts, causes social distortions and heavily harms the environment. Noels advocates in ten steps to adjust the rules of the game to tame the giants and to give the individual a place in the world economy again.

Geert Noels is a macroeconomist and a popular opinion maker for financial and economic subjects. 100,000 people follow him on Twitter. He wrote his vision on the financial-economic future in the bestseller Econoshock, which was awarded with the ABN-AMRO audience prize for best non-fiction book. A documentary was made based on this book. He has a broad interest: economy, sport, society, engineering, aerospace, education and investing.

How to reinvent the world Thierry Geerts Belgium's Google director Thierry Geerts makes a plea for the so-called knowledge society The digital revolution both enables and forces us to reinvent the world we live in Europe is in urgent need of ambitious and inspiring projects if it wants to catch the digital train All too often the digital revolution is depicted as a global nightmare: companies are shut down, jobs are cut, and the future is looking grim. Others try to take action and are bracing themselves for the giant disruption that is looming around the corner.

In his thought-provoking book, Thierry Geerts proposes to replace the word ‘disruption’ by ‘reinvention’. Take the car, for instance. The way we have been driving around for the past 50 years no longer has a future: we are constantly stuck in traffic, thousands of people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents, and cars are major contributors to air pollution. Electric, self-driving cars offer a safer and more efficient solution. Perhaps we don’t even need a car of our own anymore? This book is a wake-up call. Europe has been at the forefront of the industrial and the computer revolution, so what stops us from becoming the capital of Digitalis?

But starting from the late summer of 1944, the Polish 1st Armoured Division, a division of 16,000 men, liberated town after town, village after village from the Nazis, from the Normandy beaches at Arromanches to Wilhelmshaven, the headquarters of the German Kriegsmarine. For more than a decade, Johannes Vande Voorde researched the tragic story of these forgotten Polish liberators. He tracked down the last witnesses and listened to their touching stories.

Afterwards, he relived their journey with only his photo camera as his weapon.

He looked for the traces of their Liberation route: a forgotten rifle in a tree, bullet holes in a church tower. The combination of magnificent portraits and photos, and historic images and explanation makes this book to a must-have for lovers of art photography and (war) history.
