Ein Rvre, in dem sich die fantastische Welt eines Hieronymus Bosch mit den Genrebildern Jan Steens verbindet, ausgeführt in einer Technik, die uns an die Leydener Feinmaler erinnert - so charakterisierte ein Liebhaber seiner Arbeiten einst die Malerei von ANDRE VAN BUUREN (Nieuwveen, 1951). Seine Bilder, von denen Sie in diesem Buch einen außergewöhnlichen Überblick finden, mögen an die großen Meister längst vergangener Zeiten erinnern. Aber mit dem einzigartigen Stil, den er über die Jahre entwickelt hat, erwarb dieser bemerkenswerte holländische Künstler Anspruch auf seinen eigenen Platz in der zeitgenössischen Malerei ... Neben zahlreichen farbigen Abbildungen seiner Ölgemälde beinhaltet das Buch einen kurzen Einblick in Van Buurens Skizzen und Zeichnungen. Die Texte und Bezeichnungen sind in deutscher, englischer und holländischer Sprache dargestellt. Doch Van Buurens Bilder sprechen ihre eigene Sprache. Sie sprechen für sich, sprechen an ...
Empirical Analysis of Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth

The importance of entrepreneurship for achieving economic growth in contemporary economies is widely recognized, both by policy makers and economists. It is deeply embedded in the current European policy approach that the creativity and independence of entrepreneurs contribute to higher levels of economic activity. Indeed, according to the European Commission (2003, p. 9), "The challenge for the European Union is to identify the key factors for building a climate in which entrepreneurial initiative and business activities can thrive. Policy measures should seek to boost the Union's levels of entrepreneurship, adopting the most appropriate approach for producing more entrepreneurs and for getting more firms to grow. " Audretsch (2003, p. 5) states that "Entrepreneurship has become the engine of economic and social development throughout the world. " The relation between entrepreneurship and economic growth is embedded in several strands of the economic literature. A first strand of literature involves the general understanding of the role of entrepreneurship in the modern economy. Seminal contributions were made by Schumpeter (1934), Knight (1921) and Kirzner (1973). These economists stress different aspects of the role of the entrepreneur. While Schumpeter stresses the innovating aspect, Knight stresses the risk assuming aspect. Kirzner, finally, stresses the role of the entrepreneur in leading markets to equilibrium. Acs (1992) discusses the contribution of small firms in modern economies.
An Educational Bridge for Leaders: 60 Brief Passages on Leadership Through History

In Nietzsche and Zen: Self-Overcoming Without a Self, André van der Braak engages Nietzsche in a dialogue with four representatives of the Buddhist Zen tradition: Nagarjuna (c. 150-250), Linji (d. 860), Dogen (1200-1253), and Nishitani (1900-1990). In doing so, he reveals Nietzsche's thought as a philosophy of continuous self-overcoming, in which even the notion of "self" has been overcome. Van der Braak begins by analyzing Nietzsche's relationship to Buddhism and status as a transcultural thinker, recalling research on Nietzsche and Zen to date and setting out the basic argument of the study. He continues by examining the practices of self-overcoming in Nietzsche and Zen, comparing Nietzsche's radical skepticism with that of Nagarjuna and comparing Nietzsche's approach to truth to Linji's. Nietzsche's methods of self-overcoming are compared to Dogen's zazen, or sitting meditation practice, and Dogen's notion of forgetting the self. These comparisons and others build van der Braak's case for a criticism of Nietzsche informed by the ideas of Zen Buddhism and a criticism of Zen Buddhism seen through the Western lens of Nietzsche - coalescing into one world philosophy. This treatment, focusing on one of the most fruitful areas of research within contemporary comparative and intercultural philosophy, will be useful to Nietzsche scholars, continental philosophers, and comparative philosophers.

Known only for the virtues of its sexual practice, ancient Tantric ideology is a universal and widereaching ideology virtually ignored in the West. In Tantra: The Cult of the Feminine, one of Europe's foremost Tantric authors and teachers, Andre Van Lysebeth, gives readers a balanced, wellinformed, modern examination of the secret teachings and symbolism of Tantra. Espousing no dogma, Tantra involves a search for reality that contradicts neither science nor religion. For Tantra, all of the myriad energy forms in the universe gravity, nuclear cohesion, electromagnetism exist throughout the cosmos. "Scientifically speaking, the universe is a gigantic continuum ranging from subatomic to astronomical dimensions. Tantrists have perceived this unity for over thirtyfive centuries," points out van Lysebeth in his introduction. Originally published in 1992, Tantra has become the classic text on the subject, the source for serious students. Eight fullcolor illustrations and 36 line drawings complement a comprehensive and contemporary explanation of Tantra, complete with meditations. Andre does a remarkable job of bringing ancient theories into the modern world.
Andre van de Braak became a student of Andrew Cohen at the beginning of his teaching career. He explains Cohen's rise to prominence and the toll his rise has taken on many of his faithful followers. He also describes the spiritual and group dynamics of a prolonged encounter with an enlightenment teaching.
Leaders and Misleaders: The art of leading like you mean it

At last someone has produced a book that addresses the problem rather than the symptoms of the leadership crisis in business, politics, and the professions. Andre van Heerden's "Leaders and Misleaders" dismantles the misguided belief that we can produce leaders through skills-training and quick-fix solutions, and insists that the key is character-development and the fomenting of wisdom through on-going education. Giving skills to people of negative character will see those skills misused, and this is why our society tends to produce misleaders rather than leaders. "Leaders and Misleaders" is a guide for leaders who are serious about helping people build a better future. It is rich in historical anecdotes, philosophical insights, and eye-opening personal experiences from corporate life, and includes an illuminating bibliography that will encourage readers to take their own education further. The book has earned high praise. Internationally famous author and social critic, Anthony Daniels, says: "This is the only book on management that someone who is not himself a manager could bear to read, because it is literate, philosophically-informed and truthful." Greg Fleming, CEO of the Maxim Institute, is equally emphatic: "This is a very important book. It speaks directly to the leadership crisis and prescribes the perfect antidote - rediscover the character and vision that shaped those on whose shoulders we stand - those giants who lived for causes greater than themselves. To a generation of leaders standing on the quicksand of individualism and relativism this book offers purpose and confidence. Read it " Professor Joe Wallis of the School of Business at the American University of Sharjah is no less enthusiastic: "Simply outstanding - I will have no hesitation in using it in any future course I may teach on leadership and ethics. There are many books that make a contribution to our understanding of this complex topic but I cannot think of any with the potentially life-changing impact of Andre's call to lead as though we really mean it." Reg Birchfield in Management Magazine said: "Deeply reflective and meticulously researched... It is 225 pages of tightly argued proposition and intriguingly quotable quotes. The world's book shelves may be staggering under the weight of books of this genre, but this one is interestingly different." Carolyn Moynihan, Deputy Editor at mercatornet.com wrote: "It is a book for industry leaders, to be sure, but also for educators, politicians, parents, and, indeed, for any individual who wants to think more deeply about their work and their life and what issues we should be addressing as a society. It is a life coach and a leadership programme between two covers."

This book is designed to be read by ordinary Christians who want to think more deeply about the person and work of Jesus as well as an introductory text to Christology for theological students. "Jesus the Reconciler" integrates Systematic Theology and Christian Spirituality to offer readers a rich post-modern approach to the person and work of Christ. "It is a well thought out book that leads one to meditate on the themes raised with its juxtaposition of chapters and prayers. The feel of it is different from other books for that reason. I'd encourage people to read it because it introduces crucially important themes tied to God's reconciling work and key ideas associated with those themes. The door, covenant, the world, the reconciler and the church are core biblical themes the text considers. The notes at the end of each unit cite resources with fullness to help the reader see what is behind the main text. The book claims to be devotional theology. I think that is a very apt description. It contains theology that leads you to contemplate God and his work afresh. That is a worthy goal for any book to reach. And this book reaches that goal well." Darrel Bock - Research Professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, "What a beautiful book The style is creative and perfectly suits busy readers who quickly wants get to the core of an issue. The book is theologically well-grounded. It binds the messages of the Old and New Testament together and develops the theme of the covenant wonderfully well. It refers to the best contemporary sources and its exegesis is excellent." Prof. H.J.C.Pieterse, Department Practical Theology, University of South Africa "I liked the format of reflections and prayer -- which itself communicates something essential about our doing theology. Nearly everywhere I was in agreement with the book." Mark Seifrid - Mildred and Ernest Hogan Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
It's like having a yoga teacher in your own home Van Lysebeth, with over 50 years experience as a yoga instructor, describes more than 200 exercises and postures, using over 100 photographs and numerous illustrations that show both the right and wrong way to perform them. Unlike other yoga books which show only the completed posture, these illustrations show the intermediate steps for attaining the final postures. For beginning students, this classic book is a perfect introduction to yoga.
Ayahuasca often yields transformative experiences that merge such familiar categories as the sacred and the secular, transcendence and immanence, subject and object, and the human and the nonhuman. However, such experiences are interpreted differently by Western and indigenous discourses. Using the work of French philosopher Bruno Latour, André van der Braak asks fundamental ontological questions in order to reimagine ayahuasca as liquid divinity, shifting the focus from ayahuasca experiences to ayahuasca-based ritual practices that aim to cultivate relationships with more-than-human powers, described by Latour as "beings of transformation and religion." Ayahuasca as Liquid Divinity: An Ontological Approach describes Santo Daime practices as a contemporary form of “theurgy” (god-work), as defined by the third-century Platonic philosopher and mystagogue Iamblichus. Theurgical practices aim at drawing down divine action through ritual procedures, using the imagination as an active faculty. Van der Braak argues that ayahuasca religiosity is ultimately not about individual recreation or healing, or even personal visions, but rather about engaging in communal transformative ecodelic practices that let us work as companions of the gods in order to practice solidarity with all sentient beings.
