As a teenager, Harriet Shawcross stopped speaking at school for almost a year. As an adult, she became fascinated by the limits of language. From the inexpressible trauma of trench warfare and the aftermath of natural disaster to the taboo of coming out, Harriet examines all the ways in which words scare us. She studies wartime poet George Oppen, interviews the author of The Vagina Monologues, meets Nepalese earthquake-survivors and the founders of the Samaritans and asks what makes us silent?

Onno Blom
Young Rembrandt
Rembrandt's life has always been an enigma. How did a miller's son from a provincial Dutch town become the greatest artist in the world? With his formative years shrouded in mystery, the only remaining evidence of Rembrandt's life as a young man is his work. Deeply rooted in the turbulent changes that his hometown was undergoing, Rembrandt's early paintings tell a fascinating story of artistic evolution against the backdrop of the widening horizons of Leiden's cultural and commercial life during the Dutch Golden Age. Leiden's fortune facilitated Rembrandt's. But who was that young man inventing himself as the city around him grew and prospered? How did Rembrandt become Rembrandt? To find out, Onno Blom immersed himself in the world, the country, the city and the house in which Rembrandt was born in 1606 and where he spent the first twenty-five years of his life. The result is a fascinating portrait of the artist as a young man, rich in local and biographical detail, and restless in its efforts to seek out the roots of his genius.non-fictie

Maurits Kaptein
Persuasion Profiling
On average, merely five in every hundred visitors of online stores actually purchase a product. This, despite the fact that in offline, brick and mortar stores more than twenty-five out of a hundred visitors make a purchase. Why is this gap so large? The answer can partly be found in the ways in which vendors adapt their promotional appeals to the unique individual preferences and needs of their customers. Based on insights from behavioural economics, marketing, and his own ground-breaking research on Persuasion Profiling, Dr. Maurits Kaptein developed a mass-market personalized technique that enables you to treat online visitors as an offline vendor would. Kaptein combines a thorough description of our knowledge of sales psychology with an understanding of interactive technologies to demonstrate the opportunities these technologies offer for personalization.non-fictie
