Paperback, 16x24 cm, 440 pagina's. ISBN 9789460040467. Denken over vertalen verscheen voor het eerst in 2004. Een echt overzicht van de vertaalbeschouwing in de breedste zin van het woord bestond toen nog niet. Dit tekstboek voorzag met succes in deze behoefte en beleeft nu een tweede druk. Het denken over vertalen staat nooit stil en deze tweede druk is dan ook hernieuwd en grondig aangevuld. Het boek kent drie zwaartepunten: geschiedenis & beschrijving, kritiek & methodiek en reflectie & theorie. De eerdere selectie, waarmee de samenstellers zo veel mogelijk verschillende standpunten wilden aanbieden, is uitgebreid met essays van onder anderen Luise von Flotow, Michaela Wolf en Maria Tymoczko. Hierdoor waaiert het perspectief nu nog breder uit; de vernieuwing is mede gebaseerd op de ervaringen en wensen van de vele gebruikers van het tekstboek. Denken over vertalen is een mix van praktische en theoretische reflectie, met teksten die van cultureel belang zijn en daadwerkelijk in het onderwijs of anderszins kunnen worden ingezet, in een gedachtewisseling of debat, in een vertaalatelier, workshop of seminar. De teksten liggen klaar om grondig besproken, geanalyseerd en bekritiseerd te worden.
gebonden, 11x19,5 cm, 204 pagina's. ISBN 9789077503966. De Terminologie van het tolken is een naslagwerk dat een honderdvijftigtal termen over de praktijk en de theorie van het tolken bevat. Elke term wordt in het Nederlands gedefinieerd en in het Duits, Engels, Frans, Italiaans en Spaans vertaald. Opmerkingen en voorbeelden verduidelijken de definities. Achter in het boek zijn schema?s opgenomen die de relaties tussen de termen weergeven. De auteurs hebben bij de samenstelling van het werk een beroep gedaan op tolken en tolkdocenten in Vlaanderen en Nederland. Een van de doelstellingen van de Terminologie van het tolken is zelfs om de band tussen opleidingen en tolkdiensten te versterken. Voor iedereen die op een heldere manier over het tolken wil spreken, zal de Terminologie van het tolken een handig hulpmiddel zijn.
Paperback, 192 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503508870. This thematic volume consists of a selection of papers from the XXth International Congress of History of Science, which was held in Liege in 1997. Two separated symposia were concerned with the study of historical connections between such different scientific fields as chemistry, botany, pharmacy, medicine and their technical aspects. Natural products from plants and animals, and their artificial equivalents, which were especially studied and used for dyeing and for medicinal purposes, were discussed in both meetings. The various contributions of the present volume deal with many of these products in several countries (in Europe, Asia, Africa and America) from the medieval period to the XIXth century. The first part treats of some historical aspects of chemical and pharmaceutical questions related to selected dyestuffs. The second part deals with pharmaceutical products for medicinal and biological purposes. These studies should contribute to foster new interdisciplinary research in this field, which is bound to develop at the international level. Languages : English.
Paperback, 180 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503508887. This volume presents a collection of selected papers worked out for the XXth International Congress of History of Science held in July 1997 in Liege The first part analyzes interrelations between the exact sciences, chemistry and physics on the one hand, and life sciences on the other hand. It is well known that in many fields of biological sciences, mainly in those working with experimental methods, chemical and physical knowledge was integrated but the historic development of that interrelation is not yet known and cannot be explained enough in all details until the present day. By searching for the events in the past, historians of science find out that introducing physical and chemical methods and knowledge into life sciences was not a simple but very complex historical process. The second part was constructed during the centenary of E.B. Wilson's pioneering book The Cell in Development and Inheritance (1896), with an eye on this tradition of biological research. Wilson attempted to integrate cytology, embryology, and the chromosome theory of inheritance into a common cellular framework. It was only in the late 1970s that the synthesis now called cell biology, developmental biology and developmental genetics came into existence. The work carried out in Zurich under E. Hadorn's supervision was brought to light. Concepts and paths of research were defined, for example: homeosis, physiological genetics, 'body plans' allometry, homologies of process, evolution as 'bricolage' and finally a critical essay on different perspectives on development.

Paperback, 194 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503509921. This volume includes papers presented during a symposium on the spreading of the scientific revolution outside Western European countries, which was held during the XXth International Congress of History of Science in Liege in 1997. The contributions aim to answer some recent historiographical questions such as the modalities of the spreading of science in different countries, the reception of the new science by different cultures, the kind of changes this reception set in motion, the periodisation in adopting the new scientific knowledge, the structures set up for this adoption. Three geographical areas are presented here: the European countries in the border of the "scientific center", Latin America countries and East Asian regions. The volume constitutes the first attempt at making a synthesis at an international level on the important question of the spreading of the "new science" throughout the world. Languages : English.
Paperback, 154 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503510958. Scholarly interest in the scientific activities caried out in various geographical areas of the Ottoman Empire between the 14th and the 20th century yielded a growing number of studies in recent years. The initial findings of these studies led scholars to question the view that Islamic science went into a decline after the 12th century, and to argue that Ottoman science constituted a new episode in Islamic science. The present volume begins with a survey on the Ottomans' transition from the Islamic to the European scientific tradition. This survey is followed by research papers dealing with: the introduction of modern science and technology to Turkey in the 18th and 19th centuries as regards the military technical training, the first railway line in Asiatic Turkey and the teaching of modern botany; the introduction of modern medicine and Darwinism in Egypt; Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt from the viewpoint of history of science and technology; and the mathematical activities in the Maghreb in both pre-Ottoman and Ottoman periods.

Hardback, 312 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503510088. Peut-on mettre en relation - et de quelle facon ? - l'emergence et le deploiement de la science moderne, au XVIIe siecle, avec ceux du "libertinage" ou "libertinisme" pendant cette periode ? C'est a cette question complexe et quelque peu redoutable, car elle concerne les origines de notre modernite, que se sont efforces de repondre treize historiens des idees scientifiques, philosophiques ou litteraires. Il n'etait pas a l'ordre du jour - il parut meme presomptueux ou premature - d'affronter le probleme dans son abstraite generalite : il s'agissait bien plutot de mettre en lumiere, aussi precisement que possible, le cheminement intellectuel de certains hommes de science, de certains libertins averes, ou la fortune d'une idee apparemment "transversale". Ce recueil permet le reperage des nombreuses voies de rencontre qui parfois favoriserent le dialogue entre hommes de science et esprits "deniaises" au XVIIe siecle, mais aussi des obstacles qui parfois l'empecherent. Il fait peut-etre entrevoir la lente emergence d'un regime univoque de la "raison", a mesure que le siecle avance. Enfin, sa polyphonie interdisciplinaire apporte un eclairage varie sur certaines theories et notions philosophiques, comme l'atomisme et l'infini, qui jouent un role capital au XVIIe siecle.

Paperback, 328 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503511580. Too often technology is seen as inferior to science, as a simple practical application of a self-sufficient "pure" knowledge. Such a dichotomy is for sure an illusion. The contributions met in this volume, reflecting the richness and the density of the session Science, Technology and Industry during the XXth International Congress of History of Science in Liege in 1997, show all technology as nothing less than the bridge between science on one side, society and economy on the other side. And this bridge is not a one-way road but a place of interactions between the theoretical and the applied, between the knowledge and the know-how. A special section of this book demonstrates that this equal footing dialogue has been particularly intense as far as the military technical development is concerned, and that for many centuries.

Paperback, 152 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503511986. Ce volume est une contribution a l'histoire de la transition entre la science medievale et la science moderne, en ce qui concerne les mathematiques et la science du mouvement. Le processus de cette transformation a ete relativement peu etudie: les etudes historiques se sont concentrees de facon dominante sur la description de la phase finale de ce processus; le travail historique a etabli une description tres documentee et structuree de la situation de la philosophie naturelle a l'aube de la science classique. Au cours des dernieres decennies des travaux sur des auteurs et des oeuvres du XVIe siecle peu etudie font cependant apparaitre que cette description est alteree structurellement par des interpretations anachroniques de certains concepts qui y occupent manifestement une place centrale. Les etudes presentees dans ce volume sont un reflet des travaux effectues recemment dans ce sens sur deux aspects singuliers d'un tel programme: l'oeuvre scientifique de MAurolico d'une part, et l'emergence de la science galileenne du mouvement d'autre part.

Paperback, 238 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503508894. L'ouvrage qui parait sous le titre " Optics and Astronomy " groupe un ensemble de communications presentees lors du XXe congres international d'histoire des sciences. Toutes relevent de ces domaines intimement lies au cours du temps. Qu'aurait ete l'evolution de l'astronomie sans le developpement de l'optique ? Quant a ce dernier domaine il a trouve un terrain de predilection dans les applications qu'en ont fait les astronomes. Dans l'antiquite, d'Euclide fonde en geometre une optique qui trouve un premier aboutissement chez Ptolemee. La grande ecole arabe prend le relais en renouvelant la theorie de la lumiere et de la vision. Le premier XVIIe siecle europeen invente la lunette, analyse ses implications optiques et construit des instruments qui modifient l'idee meme qu'on se faisait des choses et des cieux. Mecanique celeste s'appliquant principalement au systeme solaire, marginalisation d'une tradition astrologique pourtant remanente, creation de modeles, analyse de donnees..., tout concourt a former les esprits - au siecle des Lumieres notamment - a la comprehension du Monde que viennent renforcer les decouvertes de l'astrometrie et de l'astrophysique. L'unite du volume, confortee par la variete des sujets traites, doit permettre au lecteur qui n'a pu se rendre a Liege en 1997, d'apprecier l'influence reciproque precoce des deux domaines de la recherche qu'il couvre.

Paperback, 246 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503513676. The theme of materials in the history of technology has never been as well researched as other more popular areas like energy, production technology or transport and communication. The present collection of papers originating from the symposium on "Materials: Science, Technology and Early Applications" in conjunction with the 20th International History of Science Congress in Liege, 1997, make a contribution to remedying this unsatisfactory situation. They concentrate on the 19th and 20th centuries and range from research on the metallurgy of zinc in the late 18th and early 19th century to the prospects of ceramic materials to ameliorate contemporary environmental problems.

Hardback, XII+284 p., 100 b/w ill. + 26 colour ill., 200 x 260 mm. ISBN 9782503512181. This object-based study concentrates on scientific instruments made in Louvain between c. 1530 and c. 1600, a period in which the university fell from the peak of its importance into a state of decline. This object-based study concentrates on scientific instruments made in Louvain between c. 1530 and c.1600, a period in which the university fell from the peak of its importance into a state of decline. The instruments are characterised by elaborate decoration and by numerous technical innovations. The book comprises two parts: an introduction followed by a catalogue raisonne of almost ninety instruments from the Louvain masters, both signed and unsigned ones. The introduction outlines the circumstances of the foundation of this ?Louvain school of instrument makers?, which entailed the merging of an intellectual center (based in the university) and a material culture (based in the workshops). A similar symbiosis occurred elsewhere in Europe, but never on the scale of Louvain. The presence of the Spanish Court in Brussels around 1540?1550 helped to provide the workshops with important commissions. Their role as a Maecenas is also discussed. The most important instrument makers were Gerard Mercator, Michael Piquer, Gualterus Arsenius, Adrian Descrolieres and Adrian Zeelst. Little was previously known about these men - apart perhaps from Mercator - and even less about the output of their workshops. This book attempts to present for the first time a comprehensive survey of these workshops and how they may have influenced one another. Languages : English.
