The Atlas of the Brain A visual journey

Lara Wierenga & Dirma Janse

The most recent and fascinating insights about the brain, accessibly written and beautifully illustrated

Unique collaboration between a neuroscientist (University of Leiden) and an information designer (TU Delft)

Lara Wierenga is seen as one of the most promising researchers in her field

Neuroscientist Lara Wierenga and graphic designer Dirma Janse join forces for this unique book project. Their goal: acquaint the public with the wondrous machine that is our brain.

Through 30 interesting questions (e.g. "How does the brain learn things?") and hundreds of fascinating illustrations and infographics they take you along for a visual exploration of the human brain. Thanks to the original layout and count less interesting facts, they provide insight into the complex brain science.

Lara Wierenga is a neuroscientist and lecturer at the University of Leiden. She speci alizes in the brain development of children. Among other things, she researches why boys have ADHD more often than girls, what music classes teach us about the growth of the brain and what our first love tells us about the workings of the teenage brain. Dirma Janse is a graphic designer and specializes in infographics and scientific visu alisations. She looks for visual solutions to display complex information more clearly to the wider public. She’s a lecturer of Science Vision at TU Delft and also worked for Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad

Perpetrator Unknown

The Y-chromosome is the key to unsolved murders

Sofie Claerhout

Forensic geneticist Sofie Claerhout catches killers by using the DNA of their (distant) relatives

For lovers of true crime: covers over 20 ongoing and solved murders

With contributions by expert geneticists, crime journalists and US genealogist CeCe Moores

Murderers leave traces. And even though crime series on TV will have you believe that DNA leads you to the culprit in a matter of hours, in reality it is much more complicated than that. When a perpetrator leaves traces at a crime scene, investigators can run it through a database of convicts and suspects. No identical match and no other clues? That’s when the label ‘cold case’ looms. But geneticist Sofie Claerhout wants to put an end to that. She developed a reliable method to identify the perpetrator through the male Y-chro mosome of his relatives which allows investigators to tap for a new source of suspects.

Perpetrator Unknown immerses you into the dark world of forensic investiga tion and unsolved murders with a ray of hope provided by a young scientist’s passion.

230 x 150 | 288 pages | 77,000 words paperback | all rights available

Sofie Claerhout is the first Belgian Doctor of forensic genetics. With her pioneering research she won the first prize at the World Congress for forensic research in Prague.

Maps that Made History

1000 years of world history in 100 old maps

Martijn Storms

100 exceptional maps that put their mark on world history

The most beautiful and intriguing old maps from the world-renowned collections of Leiden University

From the worldview of Isidorus of Seville (7th century) to a Chinese propaganda map from 2013

This book takes you on a thousand-year world tour through a hundred exceptional old maps. From the early medieval worldview of the cleric Isidore of Seville through to a Chinese propaganda map from 2013, via a Nazi map of Warsaw planning the outlines of the Jewish ghetto. From Leiden to Ceylon, Jamaica, Philadelphia and the Sahara, and from exuberant charts of the world to local maps. Each of these maps has helped 'create' world history: they not only reflect the past but have also left their mark on it.

In this book, an international team of historians tells a hundred fascinating stories about remarkable maps from the renowned collections of Leiden University Libraries. These include gems of exceptio nal aesthetic value and curiosities that are now being shown to the general public for the first time. Together, they make this book a visual feast: a unique look at the past, and one that you will come back to time and again in the future.

Martijn Storms is Curator of Maps and Atlases of Leiden University Libraries. He is assisted by some fourty international experts and authors.

The Scents of the Cathedral

The overwhelming 16th century

Wendy Wauters

Literary non-fiction that takes you to the hotspot of the 16th Century: the cathedral of Antwerp

About the scents (stench!), colours (everything but white!) and sounds (noise!) of the cathedral

Experience the exciting 16th century as if you were there

Why didn't the people of Antwerp dare to enter the cathedral on summer days? Did incense really protect against the plague? What were the three women who were hiding chopped off fingers under the altar planning?

Wendy Wauters allows you to discover the 16th century in an entirely unique way: through the eyes, ears and noses of the people that lived back then. The beating heart of the city was the cathedral, where intensely religious parishio ners crossed paths with confectioners, dog trappers and cattle dealers. Not really what you expected of a religious space? Just wait until you read about the hectic bustle at the dozens of side altars while the smell of corpses rose from the graves.

This book is a staggering sensory experience and offers a whole new perspec tive into Antwerp’s years of glory. The last chapter takes you to the 20th of August 1566, that fatal summer when the Cathedral of Our Lady fell victim to the iconoclastic fury.

240 x 155 | 368 pages | 105,000 words hardcover | all rights available

Wendy Wauters is a Doctor of Philosophy in Art History (KU Leuven) with an award-winning dissertation about the experi ences of medieval churchgoers. After a career as Arts Director in the advertising industry, she started working at the Museum for Religious Art and Culture PARCUM in Leuven. She’s a much sought-after speaker and loves to bring the little stories about the 16th century out in the open.

The Great Future of Mankind and Nature Saved by the tree frog

Ignace Schops

Internationally renowned expert

Ground-breaking contribution to the protection of our environment and the conservation of biodiversity

Workable ideas for a sustainable future: saving nature is not a pricey cost, but a sound investment with a guaranteed profit!

What we have to do to save our future is simple. We have to be cured from our addiction to short-term investments and turn to a long-term investment in nature, because this type of investment will pay for itself. In other words, we have the choice between short-term profit on a dead planet and long-term profit on a healthy, living and flourishing earth. There is a great future for mankind and nature - if only we are brave enough to reach for it.

The Great Future of Mankind and Nature explains how we can:

• Make money by preserving nature

• Learn to use the right mind-set, strong leadership and the fitting examples for a healthier and better world

• Find solutions for agriculture and industry

Ignace Schops is a nature conservationist and world authority in the field of sustainable and economically profitable nature management. At the request of Al Gore (An Inconvenient Truth) Schops became a member of his international Climate Leadership Corps. He is also a Full Member of the EU Chapter of the iconic Club of Rome, and from 2014 to 2021 he was President of EUROPARC Federation, the largest nature network in Europe. His work has been praised by internationally renowned conservati onists such as Sir David Attenborough and Jane Goodall.

Dear Ignace, never give up.

– Sir David Attenborough

Had a great con versation with Ignace Schops on the origins of climate reality. Keep up the great work!

– Al Gore Ignace is one of those rare indomita ble spirits. Because I know he has faced many obstacles, but he has persevered, he has won, and he has proved that it can be done.

Younger Every Year

The science of rejuvenation or how you can cheat time

Reginald Deschepper

What would happen if you were able to hack your biological system and slow down aging by means of smart adjustments?

Recent developments in the science of aging explained for the broad public

This book helps you to differentiate between effective, promising interventions and charlatanism

Humankind is the product of more than three million years of evolution. That evolution is, in the first place, aimed at the best possible distribution of our genes. Sadly, age-related diseases are an unfortunate side effect of that. To nature, it isn’t really that interesting to have us grow very old. But what would happen if we could hack our biological system and in this way slow down aging?

Science Fiction? Not quite. In the past twenty years the science of aging has been developing rapidly. We know what the most important causes are and how we can slow them down, stop them and in some cases even revert them.

About a dozen of studies are happening at the moment and the first results are often astounding. A fast growing group of people that call themselves bio hackers already apply these techniques to themselves, but this is not without risk. Luckily there are also proven and safe techniques that you can apply im mediately to become younger every year. This book helps you to differentiate between promising interventions and outright charlatanism, so you can pick what is possible and desirable for you, now and in the near future.

Activate Your Vagus Nerve

Swinnen

Broadly accessible book on the polyvagal theory, a revolutionary answer to stress, anxiety complaints and trauma

Includes a practical part with tips and exercises

Written by a renowned expert in the field of stress and burnout

For a long time we’ve been searching for the answer to stress and anxiety com plaints in our brain. However, recent studies have shown that we have to look beyond that. That’s where the vagus nerve (or pneumogastric nerve) comes in. It runs through your entire body and is connected to all your organs. No won der you feel stress and anxiety in your entire body! The good news is that you can use that very same vagus nerve to send positive messages to your body. For this connecting with other people is crucial.

This insight lies at the heart of the groundbreaking polyvagal theory by the American neuropsychiatrist Stephen W. Porges. Stress expert Luc Swinnen translates these insights into concrete tools to activate and stimulate the vagus nerve. Step by step this allows you to strengthen your resilience and put an end to stress-related complaints.

Discover your talent through your neurodiversity

Peter Ampe & Emily Rammant

A surprising look at neurodiversity with many recognizable examples

For (young)adults on the wide spectrum of ADHD, ASD, dyslexia or OCD

An answer the growing attention for neurodiversity in education and the business world

You can’t sit still. You don’t like unexpected visits. You have to check five times if the light is out. But you also spot details that nobody notices. You think of surprising solutions. You can concentrate hours at a time.

Many people find themselves, without realizing, somewhere on the spectrum of neurodivergent deviation. They don’t feel like they are different to what is perceived as ‘normal’. But why couldn’t ‘exceptional’ be ‘exceptionally good’?

This books consciously doesn’t focus on the many snags of neurodivergent disorders like ADHD, ASD, dyslexia or OCD. The authors do, however, show that people on the spectrum usually have very peculiar talents. By means of recognizable stories and practical tips, they help the reader to discover their own unique talents and make better choices in their lives and work.

If parents and teachers don’t teach our children and teenagers how to deal with digital media in a healthy way and how to use it to their advantage, then the antisocial media will do it, in their commercial interest. And that could be detrimental to the wellbeing of our children.

This book offers a clear and scientifically supported answer to questions like: ‘Is the time your child spends hooked onto a screen normal? Does gaming and the use of social media have a negative effect on your child’s learning abilities. And how can you protect your children against overuse of digital media?’

Theo Compernolle doesn’t just describe what the best approach is, he also explains why. If people understand how they can unchain their children’s brains, then they will be able to think of their own creative solutions.

Dr Theo Compernolle is the author of bestseller Unchain your Brain. He is neuropsychiatrist and independent consultant, (team) coach, trainer and keynote speaker. In the past he was the Head of Department of the children’s and youth psychiatry of KU Leuven and connected to INSEAD in Fontaineblue, the Solvay Business School, the Vlerick School for Management and the University of Amsterdam.

Brilliant work based on the most recent top level re search, as if it's a manual for your brain!

Omgaan met pijn bij baby’s, kleuters en jongeren, thuis en bij de dokter

World-renowned pain expert Liesbet Goubert explains where pain comes from and how children experience it

With practical tips for parents and caretakers to prevent minor ail ments, fear for the doctor and chronical pain

A fully illustrated guide on children's pain management

Research shows that children have 3 moments of pain each day on average, and that a quarter of all children experience long-lasting pain. They get injured when they learn how to walk, run or ride a bike. They experience growing pains and illnesses – sometimes chronic – and are urged to be ‘good’ at the doctor and dentist.

As a parent it can be difficult to react in the right way when your child is in pain. Are painkillers safe for your toddler? What if your child has a fear of needles? And what if the pain doesn’t go away? Professor Liesbet Goubert provides you with practical tools to recognize pain in your children, to measure it and prevent it, where possible. She refutes common misconceptions and makes the case for a multidisciplinary pain treatment for children.

High Sensitive Parenting

Bieke Geenen

Most highly sensitive children have a highly sensitive parent

Built around nine triggers that can cause highly 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 own pitfalls and triggers into account, making it even more diffi cult to stay balanced.

But 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 highly sensitive people to lose their balance (such as criticism, tiredness, worrying and overstimulation). She provides the reader with precise measures on how to handle their high sensitivity and that of their child.

Why Success Is Mainly A Matter of Luck

The pig part luck plays in life

Huub Buijssen

New topical book by author of ‘When a Loved One Is Depressed’ and ‘When a Loved One Has Alzheimer's'

When someone is successful in life, we attribute that success to the person: he or she has worked hard, followed a dream, made use of his talents. While someone who has had much success, largely owes it to the same factors that for another have lead to huge problems or disappointment. But with this one difference: the coincidences turned out much more advantageous for one of them. Someone was exactly in the right place at the right time and had the fortune that a coincidental rare combination of advantageous factors were allocated to them. Health psychologist Huub Buijssen has been fascinated for years by this phenomenon and researched how big of a part luck and coincidence play in success in various paths of life such as business, sports, science and literature.

In this book Buijssen shows that both hard work and taking risks aren’t personal virtues but rather a type of luck. Consequently the more successful someone is, the more lucky they have been. To finish up he talks about the political and social consequences of the central idea that every bit of success is largely due to luck.

Doing Things Differently

Maex

Psychiatrist Edel Maex offers his view on today’s big issues

For the first time ever, he shares his own personal story

A comforting book

The honest and authentic testimony by Edel Maex, combined with the insights he acquired over the course of his professional career, show that it is often worthwhile to look at things from a different perspective, to do things diffe rently, also in our personal lives. Not because we have to, but because we can.

He tells us, among other things, about how meditation didn’t only change his own life but also his work as a psychiatrist. He explains what The Budda teaches us, and how the scientific image of humankind has changed over the past few decennia. Because man isn’t some strange psychopath but a gene rous team player.

Psychiatrist Edel Maex is the pioneer who introduced mindfulness to the Low Countries. He has been offering lectures and training and has written different books about meditation and zen.

Love. An Impossible Desire?

An original approach to a widely discussed and popular subject

Avoiding clichés and obvious statements

Dirk De Wachter's

already sold more than

Love is the most frequently used theme in works of literature, music or visual arts. Still, mankind continues to search for its true nature. We think we are able to define and understand the concept of love, but in fact we are not up to par. Love is as vital as it is unfathomable.

Sadly, love is threatened in its very existence by modern consumerism and the harmful illusion that all things can be manufactured and tailored to our needs. Even a therapist turns love into something banal, presuming to be able to measure it and to treat it in just a few sessions. Love, however, cannot be defined so easily.

Love. An Impossible Desire? is a plea for normal behaviour. Only then can love work its powers: multilayered, mysterious and paradoxical.
