Love. An Impossible Desire? Dirk De Wachter

So God Created Man Jelle Van Riet photography Elisabeth Broekaert

• An original approach to a widely discussed and popular subject• Avoiding clichés and obvious statements• By the author of the successful book Borderline Times, that already

sold 35,000 copies

• A cheerful quest for the most handsome man on the planet• Amusing writing style combined with captivating photographs• A personal and witty approach

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 some-thing 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 behavior. Only then, can love work its powers: mul-tilayered, mysterious and paradoxical.

Dirk De Wachter is a psychiatrist-psychotherapist and heads the department of System and Family Therapy at the KU Leuven Psychiatric Centre. He is a family therapy instructor and supervisor in different centres both in Belgium and abroad. He is the author of the best-seller Borderline Times.

Looking for both insight and fun, journalist Jelle Van Riet and photographer Elisabeth Broekaert go on a journey to reveal the secrets of true male beauty.

Jelle and Elisabeth’s travels bring them to the High Priests of Male Beauty: the personal trainer of James Bond, the fashion designer Dries Van Noten, the tattoo-artist of David Beckham and some of the most renowned plastic surgeons in the world.

The final result is an entertaining and witty report that will be hard to put aside!

Jelle Van Riet is a freelance journalist, specialized in literature and poetry. She works for the news-paper De Standaard and has been the president of the jury for the ‘Gouden Uil Jeugdliteratuurprijs’ for years.

Elisabeth Broekaert is a freelance photographer and has already published among others The Beauty Of Your Body together with the author Bart Moeyaert.

Darwin in the News Or how evolution still hits the front-page every day

Me and the Club Why evolution created social behaviour

Mark Nelissen

• The Theory of Evolution in our daily lives• Up-to-date: insights into social problems such as racism, herd instinct

and the battle between liberalism and socialism• Mark Nelissen’s books are best-sellers and internationally successful

Best-selling author Mark Nelissen shows us how Darwin still hits the front-page everyday, deal-ing with themes as the Strauss-Kahn affair, family tragedies, the economic crisis and so on. Darwin in the News is popular science at its best: scientifically accurate, accessible and humorous. After reading this book, you will not be able to watch the news in the same way again.

Humans are hyper social and hyper individualistic be-ings at the same time. In Me and the Club behaviourist Mark Nelissen explains how those two extremes can coexist. What distinguishes human beings from other kinds of animals? Maybe the largest (and most under-estimated) difference is our complex social behaviour. Why do we attach so much importance to status? Is

racism based in our genes? Is selfless friendship a myth? Mark Nelissen takes us on a journey through evolutionary history and shows us how our current social behaviour is still determined by the ‘survival of the fittest’ of our ancestors.

Mark Nelissen is a professor in behavioural biologyat the University of Antwerp. In his books and lectureshe explains the principles of biology to the broad pub-lic and really knows how to capture their attention.

Waarom krijgen vrouwelijke obers grotere fooien dan hun mannelijke collega’s? Wat is het nut van pijn? Zijn wij allen homo’s? Discrimineren wij onze kinderen? Waarom hebben jonge hoertjes meer succes dan oudere? En waarom klapt een tevreden publiek overal ter wereld in de handen?

In Darwin in de supermarkt toont gedragsbioloog Mark Nelissen met veel humor aan dat de evolutietheorie om elke hoek loert. Op straat en in de winkel, in de krant en in e-mails: de sporen van Charles Darwin duiken overal op. In dit licht verteerbare, maar wetenschappelijk stevig onderbouwde boek opent Mark Nelissen onze ogen voor Darwins indrukwekkende erfenis en weet hij zo menselijk gedrag te verklaren. Waardoor je de persoon voor je aan de kassa nooit meer op dezelfde manier zult bekijken…

Mark NelisseN is hoogleraar in de gedragsbiologie. In zijn boeken en lezingen weet hij de principes van de biologie op een boeiende manier te vertalen naar een breed publiek.

The mindfulness theory has become increasingly influential and successful in recent years. Its sup-porters believe that to acquire a more balanced psy-che, it is essential to be aware of one’s thoughts andsensations.

His techniques focus on a self-criticising attitude and sometimes have surprising results. Mindfulness is the perfect guide for a more peaceful and conscious life experience!

I bow to Edel Maex for writing this lovely book, and for his relentless efforts to bring mindfulness in an authentic and universal articulation, based on his own years of medita-tion practice and study, into the mainstream of medicine, psychiatry and Western culture.– Jon Kabat-Zinn, Professor of Medicine emeritus, University of Massachusetts Medical School

We spend almost a third of our lives in bed. Many of us sleep in a bed of inferior quality, even when roughly 8 out of 10 people suffer from severe back pain at some point during their lives. Of those, almost 10% go on to develop chronic back problems. A good night’s rest and a correct sleeping posture can however prevent the onset of a number of common back problems.

Give Your Back a Break, written by world renowned specialist Pascal Mannekens, helps you to minimise the risk of developing back pain. The fully illustrated book tackles some of the most persistent myths on sleep and bedding systems and familiarizes the reader with the different sleeping systems that are available today.

What should you look for when buying a mattress? Should you be thinking in terms of sleeping on an orthopaedic or memory foam mattress? What sleep-ing system fits your sleeping profile best? And which is the best position for sleeping?

A must-read if you want to keep your body in perfect condition.– Prof. Dr. Anton Coenen, Radboud University of Nijmegen

Fascinating and accessible!– Prof. Dr. Gaëtane Stassijns, University Hospital of Antwerp

• Young and burned out?• Filled to the brim with practical advice• The first step to a stress-free life! • Relevant research information

• Few publications available on this topic• Clearly written by 2 certified EMDR coaches

‘Only adults have burnouts!’ Not anymore! More and more teenagers have complaints that are usu-ally linked with burnouts: they are exhausted all the time, have too much stress and suffer from insomnia and panic attacks.

Tiny Teens Survival guide for parents with children between 6 and 12Krista Okma

• Focuses on interesting themes such as independence, confidence and open communication

• Filled to the brim with authentic real-life cases• A guideline book for parents

More and more, the boundaries between primary and secondary school children seem to be fading. Behaviour that once seemed typical for adolescents is now also seen in smaller children, and at times it feels as if an eight-year-old has already reached puberty!

Most parenting books focus on sleeping problems with young children and the identity struggle ado-lescents go through. The phase in-between remains mostly overlooked.

Tiny Teens is the first book that entirely concen-trates on the age group from 6 to 12 years old. The book is filled to the brim with useful examples, practical tips and tricks for parents.

Dr Krista Okma is an educationalist and psycholo-gist at the Dutch Youth Institute. She has three lovely daughters and has already written other well-received parenting books, such as Something Seems To Be Wrong and The Educational Roller Coaster.

Traces

She is determined to get to the bottom of this ‘accident’ and finds some intriguing leads that convince her that this is more than a sex game that got out of hand.

The Limits of the Market The Pendulum Between Government and CapitalismPaul De Grauwe

• An eye-opening analysis of the inevitable oscillation between free market and government

• Thomas Piketty’s best-seller on income inequality taken to its ultimate conclusion

Will the financial crisis and growing inequality mark a new turning point in the balance of power between the free market and government? Are we about to witness the overthrow of capitalism and will the state resume control?

After several triumphant decades, capitalism is well on the way to destroying itself. Key issues such as climate change and rising income inequality il-lustrate the inevitable external and internal limits of the market. Only the government seems to be able to offer a solution. But the state will also hit limits and, in turn, pave the way for a market comeback.

With his new book, Flanders’ most prominent economist makes an invaluable contribution to the debate on the sustainability of our market system. De Grauwe provides an in-depth analysis of the con-

sequences of the disastrous swing of the economic pendulum, which can only be halted by immediate and drastic measures.

De Grauwe provides an in-depth analysis of how capital-ism will destroy itself unless governments attempt to check rising income disparity and global warming.– Rick van der Ploeg, Dutch economist and former politician

Paul De Grauwe is an internationally renowned senior economist. He teaches at the London School of Economics and was previously affiliated to the Catholic University of Leuven. He was a member of the Belgian parliament and an adviser to the Presi-dent of the European Commission, José Manuel Bar-roso. He is also a columnist for the Financial Times.

Inside the Arab Revolution Three years on the front-line of the Arab SpringKoert Debeuf

• An investigation into the Arab Spring by a renowned journalist• The result of intense travelling through the Arab World• Foreword by Guy Verhofstadt

This is not an Arab Spring. This is an Arab Revolu-tion of the magnitude of the French Revolution. Historian, political observer and opinion-maker Koert Debeuf draws this conclusion from three years of living and working in the heart of the Arab world. Having travelled extensively in Egypt, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Jordan, Palestine and Turkey, he saw history unfolding from the first row. From Tahrir Square to Taksim Square, between tear gas, bullets and bombs. This book gives a unique insight into the real fights and frustrations of the Arab people. It shows how blogs and social media can change the course of his-tory, how individuals make a difference and why the Arab Revolution is just the beginning of a profound transformation. In this compilation of blogs, articles and essays the reader begins to understand the com-plex realities and ideas behind the revolutions from Tunisia to Turkey. Some of the articles have even influenced Arab and international politics.

In a foreword, Guy Verhofstadt, president of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe and former prime minister of Belgium, sets out a new vi-sion of European cooperation with the Arab world.

Koert Debeuf has been living in Cairo since September 2011 and has observed the revolutions of the Arab world as a representative of the European Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament (ALDE). He is a well-known political blogger and opinion-maker. His blog posts have been discussed on Tahrir Square, on Egyptian national TV and in the European, Dutch, German and Belgian parliaments. Articles on his work in the Arab world have appeared in newspapers such as the New York Times, Le Figaro and Le Soir. He is regularly consulted as an expert by the Financial Times, The Independent, Al Arabiya, BBC World Service and France 24.

Don’t Touch my Body

Annemie Struyf & Johanna Laurent

Hotel of Mercy

Jan De Cock

• A mother and daughter fighting together against one of the biggest crimes against women: female genital mutilation

• Gripping personal stories

• A new and unique project by globe-trotter Jan De Cock• The power of reconciliation and forgiveness• Foreword by the South African archbishop Desmond Tutu

‘Why?’ I ask the daughter.‘It’s a tradition’, she sighs.‘Why?’ I ask the mother.‘It’s our culture’‘Why?’ I ask the father.‘No man wants an uncircumcised woman.’‘Why?’ I ask the circumciser.‘It’s my job, it’s my duty.’

While shooting her new television programme Via Annemie, Annemie Struyf discovered that many young girls in Kenya are still forced to undergo cir-cumcision. Every day hundreds of girls are mutilated under the most dreadful circumstances.

Indignant about what she saw, Annemie opened her heart to her daughter Johanna, who recently graduated as a journalist. She decided to investigate this practice, only to find out that in her own home country this topic also remains a taboo.

In order to write the book Don’t Touch my Body, she met several girls who were subjected to genital mutilation and others who had fled their country to escape from it. This book also shows that even in the West, in the greatest secrecy, girls are circumcised …

Annemie Struyf is a journalist, a television pro-ducer of highly appreciated and much-discussed reports and a writer. She wrote best-sellers such as Ladies First.

Johanna Laurent is one of Annemie Struyf ’s daughters. She recently graduated as a historian and a journalist.

In a world where the call for justice is more and more seen as a cry for more repression and harder punish-ments, Jan De Cock shows there is another way.

He travels around the world and meets victims of terrible crimes that are hard to place, but who have managed to forgive their offenders: parents whose children were killed by Anders Behring Breivik, those who lost their loved ones in The Twin Towers and many more.

Once filled with resentment and hate, each of them has decided not to succumb to these feelings, but to give the last word to reconciliation and hope for a better future.

Jan De Cock is the author of the best-sellers Hotel Prison and De kelders van Congo. He is the founder of Within-Without-Walls, an organisation that wants to stimulate contact between prisoners, victims and worldwide citizens.

IlluminatiThe Truth behind the Myth Arnaud de la Croix

WaterlooThe battle of 1815 Jacques Logie

• A captivating read• A historical tale with current resonance

• Relaunch of a successful title on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the famous battle

• Beautifully illustrated with famous works of art• In-depth report

The conspiracy of the Illuminati, which is again widely popular since the beginning of this century, proposes that a secret society has infiltrated worldwide into the wheels of power, controlling world events.

The financial crisis, terrorist attacks, the impov-erishment of whole parts of society, all this is said to be secretly caused by the Illuminati, whose mem-bers would be notable people such as statesmen, industry and media tycoons.

After Hitler and the Freemasonry, the author inves-tigates this complot theory and he discovers that a real secret community hides behind the myth, the Illuminates of Bavière, founded by Adam Weishaupt in 1776.

Arnaud de la Croix graduated as a philosopher and is a passionate historian. He wrote some remarkable books ao The Templars, in the Heart of the Crusades and Hitler and the Freemasonry. To this day, people from all over the world come to

discover Waterloo.

Does the glory of the defeated overshadow the fame of the victors? Or is it simply an intuitive feeling that the battle of June 18 in 1815 marked the end of an era and a new beginning in European history?

Waterloo puts the battle in an international context and shows how it is depicted in literature and art. In addition to an impartial report about the 1815 campaign, the book also describes the methods that were used in warfare at the time.

Blue EyesMy Life as a Survivor of the Nazi Experiments Koenraad De Wolf

From Moscow to CompostelaWerner van Zuylen

• The shocking story of Rita Winterstein, the last survivor of the Nazi experiments by Mengele & co

• The book is immensely cruel at times, but at the same time, it’s full of the beauty that lies within each of us

• A plea to never forget the past and to prevent this from ever happening again

• An amazing journey: on foot across Europe• Assume your responsiblities, but don’t forget to live your dreams!• Illustrated with photographs

1943. Rita and Rolanda are twins, born in a gypsy family. Their parents were only allowed to keep them if they would allow the nazi’s to do medical experiments on the twins. Soon after their birth Rolanda dies from a surgery that should have given her blue eyes. Rita survives but is marked for life.

43 years later, after a hard and long fight, Rita finally received – as one of the last survivors – a compensation for the harm that had once been done to her. But her fight did not end there. At present, she still fights against the injustice done to the gypsy community, the dangers of racism and what prejudice can lead to.

This book is the report of his amazing journey: from unforgettable encounters to moments of defeat. The author takes us off the beaten track.

An immersion in Europe’s history and nature, but also a search for the essence of our life. An inspira-tion for all!

Werner van Zuylen went to Moscow for the first time in 1981 and ever since he has become passion-ate about European history and culture. Werner is married and is the father of six children. He works for a private bank.

The Demons of Leonard Cohen Francis Mus

• In search of the real Leonard Cohen• Including unpublished documents, new interviews and in-depth reading• A complete overview of his musical career

Who is Leonard Cohen? During the 50 years of his career in the music business, his entourage and fans have known him as a true gentlemen with a certain aura, that is unfathomable and elusive at the same time. But is this description correct? Despite his immense oeuvre, the 80-year-old rocker still remains a mystery.

Francis Mus researches the constantly returning demons of Leonard Cohen: his image, his relation-ship to art, his fundamental solitude, his position towards power. He searched and found ‘pieces of Cohen’ that have never been published before.

The result is a revealing look into one of the great-est living music legends of our time.

Francis Mus is a researcher at KU Leuven. He travelled around the world to search for the real Leonard Cohen. He talked to privileged witnesses and looked for in-depth information about this Canadian icon.

StreetwiZeArnoud Raskin

• A new perspective on business• What can street children teach our managers?• Written by the founder of Mobile School

Arnoud Raskin has been working with street children from the slumps for more than 15 years. This experi-ence has been a real eye-opener. It has given him the chance to see the enormous potential these children possess and it has convinced him that the skills these children develop every single day in their struggle to survive could serve as a source of inspiration for man-agers attempting to maintain the position of their company in a competitive environment.

Starting from this perspective, Arnoud founded the project StreetwiZe, a model that transfers specific insights and skills that are needed on the streets to an efficient management tool.

Tomorrow’s leaders should base themselves on everyone’s individual strengths, not their limitations. In doing so, they will actively inspire and develop the talent of their team. Besides that, a company that is truly StreetwiZe, is one that is focused, flexible and that invests from a sustainable as well as a profitable perspective.

Arnoud Raskin is the founder of StreetwiZe and Mobile School, a Belgian organization that provides mobile schools worldwide. At this moment, Mobile School is working in 22 countries in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe. He participates in pioneer-ing hybrid entrepreneurship and is a reputable speaker at conferences all around the globe.

Living with the PsalmsPart II

Benoît Standaert

• A guide to read the psalms, one of the biggest literary treasures the Bible holds

• A source of inspiration for modern day believers• By an internationally renowned author

The Book of Psalms is one of the most important books of the Old Testament. It contains 150 hymns, of which the oldest is 3000 years old. The singing of the psalms with its austere tones, long rhythmic waves, silences between verses and intriguing texts have moved believers over the past centuries.

Keeping the Jewish tradition, the modern exegetical comments and the poetical qualities of a poem in mind, Standaert succeeds in making even the darkest passages clear. He focuses on what the psalms can mean to us and teach us today.

The psalms are a treasure. They are a part of our inherit-ance. Every generation has the highly important mission to pass them on to the next generation.- Benoît Standaert

Benoît Standaert is a Benedictine in St. Andrew’s Abbey in Zevenkerken, Bruges. He studied in Rome, Jerusalem and Nijmegen, where he graduated in the Gospel of Mark in 1978. Both at home and abroad, he is involved in formation and education courses.
