Wereldverbeteraars:Een geschiedenis van fair trade
No full textVijftig jaar geleden werd de beweging voor fair trade geboren. Sinds 1968 waaiert de beweging vanuit Nederland uit over de hele wereld. Van wereldwinkels tot keurmerkkoffie – vrijwel alle belangrijke initiatieven zijn in Nederland gelanceerd. Tegenwoordig ligt fair trade in de schappen van elke supermarkt. Peter van Dam deed jarenlang onderzoek naar de vergeten geschiedenis van fair trade. De beweging voor eerlijke handel blijkt niet alleen ouder dan vaak wordt gedacht. Wereldverbeteraars laat ook zien dat Nederland de bakermat van de beweging was. Dit verhaal over gewone burgers die de wereld wilden veranderen laat zien dat de erfenis van de jaren zestig nog springlevend is. Zo helpt Wereldverbeteraars ook de wereld van nu beter te begrijpen.<br/
Een calvinistisch land?: Religie in Nederland
No full textNederland wordt vaak als een calvinistisch land bestempeld. Protestanten eisten er vanaf de zestiende eeuw een dominante positie op, terwijl ze in werkelijkheid slechts zo nu en dan in de meerderheid waren. Peter van Dam analyseert aan de hand van hun claim de geschiedenis van religie in Nederland. Hij stuit op grote religieuze verscheidenheid, waar mensen door de eeuwen heen heel verschillend mee omgingen. Een calvinistisch land? houdt vertrouwde ideeën kritisch tegen het licht en presenteert zo een vernieuwende kijk op het historische en actuele belang van religie in Nederland
Experiments on sedimentation in wide reservoirs and erosion following dam removal
No full textSedimentary deposits in reservoir lakes record the sediment transport capacity of the up-stream river and past water levels of the downstream basin. Volumes and morphologies of deltas can be used to calculate flow and sediment dynamics. We constructed circular basins to which we fed constant flow discharge over a feeder channel of gravelly sand with different ratios of added silica flour. During water level rise, the fan radius decreased over time. During water level fall, after dam removal, the deltas were partially destroyed. Surprisingly, for low discharges the channel markedly destroyed the deposit through transverse movements of the initial channel whereas for higher discharges the terraces were pre-served for a longer time. Our results indicate that dam removal at wide lakes may lead to an unexpected inverse relation between discharge and erosion of the deposit, which has consequences for the subsequent sediment pulse magnitude. Point-modelling of sediment transport capacity yielded volumes in good agreement with observed volumes, proving that the time scale of activity can be inferred from feeder channel dimensions and delta volume. Our results suggest that these parameters can yield consistent re-construction of formative time scale also on Mars, which has consequences for interpretation of ancient climate

Fair Trade:Humanitarianism in the Age of Postcolonial Globalization
No full textThe fair trade movement has been one of the most enduring and successful civic initiatives to come out of the 1960s. In the first transnational history of the movement, Peter van Dam charts its ascendance and highlights how activists attempted to transform the global market in the aftermath of decolonization. Through original archival research into the trade of handicrafts, sugar, paper, coffee, and clothes, van Dam demonstrates how the everyday, material aspects of fair trade activism connected the international politics of decolonization with the daily realities of people across the globe. He explores the different scales at which activists operated and the instruments they employed in the pursuit of more equitable economic relations between the Global South and North. Through careful analysis of a now ubiquitous global movement, van Dam provides a vital new lens through which to view the history of humanitarianism in the age of postcolonial globalization
