After Heidi Conner discovers the body of her boyfriend, Drake
Bloom, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder.
When Sergeant Ronny Wallace is called out to the scene of the
crime, he is painfully reminded of his first case as a rookie and
the woman whose life he could not save. As the investigation
continues, Ronny is devastated as he realizes that this latest case
is somehow connected to his first case nearly fifteen years prior.
Compelled to protect Heidi despite her obvious guilt, Ronny is torn
between his devotion to her and his duties as a police officer.
The International Workshop on "The Use of Supercomputers in
Theoretical Science" took place on January 24 and 25, 1991, at the
University of Antwerp (UIA), Antwerpen, Belgium. It was the sixth
in a series of workshops, the fIrst of which took place in 1984.
The principal aim of these workshops is to present the state of the
art in scientific large-scale and high speed-computation.
Computational science has developed into a third methodology
equally important now as its theoretical and experimental
companions. Gradually academic researchers acquired access to a
variety of supercomputers and as a consequence computational
science has become a major tool for their work. It is a pleasure to
thank the Belgian National Science Foundation (NFWO-FNRS) and the
Ministry of ScientifIc Affairs for sponsoring the workshop. It was
organized both in the framework of the Third Cycle "Vectorization,
Parallel Processing and Supercomputers" and the "Governemental
Program in Information Technology." We also very much would like to
thank the University of Antwerp (Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen
-VIA) for fInancial and material support. Special thanks are due to
Mrs. H. Evans for the typing and editing of the manuscripts and for
the preparation of the author and subject indexes. J.T. Devreese

A selection of 85 Flemish drawings gives an astonishing and
representative overview of the art of drawing in the 16th and 17th
centuries. The publication focusses on the drawings subjects and
compositions but also on how and why they were created and why an
artist chose specific materials, techniques, formats and even
sizes. It provides a framework to allow to see drawings in the
functional context for which they were created. Renowned
specialists in Flemish drawing discuss rare artworks by famous
draughtsmen as Frans Floris, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck,
Jacques Jordaens, Otto van Veen, Jan Fijt but also hidden treasures
such as the 10 metres long Panorama of Zeeland by Antoon van den
Wijngaerde, a sketchbook of the 12-year-old Rubens, recently
discovered drawings by Hans Vredeman de Vries, the extremely rare
Italy-sketchbooks by the sculptor Pieter Verbruggen and a newly
discovered book-illustration design by Rubens for the Plantin
Press.

The 1984 Advanced Study Institute on "Electronic Structure,
Dynamics and Quantum Structural Properties of Condensed Matter"
took place at the Corsendonk Conference Center, close to the City
of Antwerpen, from July 16 till 27, 1984. This NATO Advanced Study
Institute was motivated by the research in my Institute, where, in
1971, a project was started on "ab-initio" phonon calculations in
Silicon. I~ is my pleasure to thank several instances and people
who made this ASI possible. First of all, the sponsor of the
Institute, the NATO Scientific Committee. Next, the co-sponsors:
Agfa-Gevaert, Bell Telephone Mfg. Co. N.V., C & A, Esso
Belgium*, CDC Belgium, Janssens Pharmaceutica, Kredietbank and the
Scientific Office of the U.S. Army. Special thanks are due to Dr.
P. Van Camp and Drs. H. Nachtegaele, who, over several months,
prepared the practical aspects of the ASI with the secretarial help
of Mrs. R.-M. Vandekerkhof. I also like to. thank Mrs. M. Cuyvers
who prepared and organized the subject and material index and Mrs.
H. Evans for typing-assist ance. I express particular gratitude to
Mrs. F. Nedee, who, like in 1981 and 1982, has put the magnificent
Corsendonk Conference Center at our disposal and to Mr. D. Van Der
Brempt, Director of the Corsendonk Conference Center, for the
efficient way in which he and his staff took care of the practical
organization at the Conference Center.
The International Workshop on "The Use of Super computers in
Theoretical Science" took place from July 30 till August 1, 1984,
at the Conference Center of the "Priorij Corsendonk", close to the
city of Antwerpen, Belgium. During the past decade computational
science has developed itself to a third methodology besides the
experimental and theoretical sciences. This remarkable evolution
was only possible due to a drastic increase of the computational
power of present day computers. Indeed, computational physics and
chemistry as such is certainly not new, but it was only during the
past ten years or so that realistic problems could be solved
numerically to a sufficient degree of accuracy. During this
workshop the state-of-the-art in high speed computation was
presented by a team of lecturers who are well known for their
competence in this field. It is a pleasure to thank several
organizations and companies who made this workshop possible. First
of all, the main sponsors: the Belgian National Science Found ation
(NFWO-FNRS) and the "Universitaire Instelling Ant werpen". Next,
the co-sponsors: Agfa-Gevaert N. V., Control Data Belgium and the
Belgian Ministry of Education. Special thanks are due to Dr. P.E.
Van Camp and Drs. H. Nachtegaele for the practical organization of
this workshop. I would also like to thank Mrs. H. Evans for typing
the manuscripts and for preparing the author and subject index. v
Last but not least I express my gratitude to Mr.
This volume contains of the proceedings of the CECAM {Centre
d'Etudes de Calcul Atomique et Moleculaire} workshop on "Ab Initio
Calculation of Phonon Spectra" which took place at the campus of
the University of Antwerpen (Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen) on
June 4 and 5, 1981. This workshop was sponsored by the
Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, by the Belgian "Nationaal Fonds
voor Weten- schappelijk Onderzoek" and the Belgian Ministry of
Education and Cultural Affairs. Although the calculation of phonon
spectra in a solid has long been known to solid state physicists,
it is only in the last decade that a macroscopic theory which
treats the response of the electrons to the vibrations of the ions
has been developed in a successful way. In the case of
semiconductors numerical calculations of phonon frequencies were
not performed until very recently due to the complex- ity of the
problem. The correct treatment of the electron in the crystal has
also led to an investigation of electron-phonon inter- action,
including many body effects. Success has been achieved in the
calculation of phonon anomalies and the coupling parameters in
transition metals. In the case of surfaces the conductions for the
appearance of electronic instabilities and the coupling of the
resulting charge density wave to the lattice have been studied.
The International Workshops on "The Use of Supercomputers in
Theoretical Science" have become a tradition at the Univer sity of
Antwerp, Belgium. The first one took place in 1984. This volume
combines the proceedings of the second work shop (December 12,
1985), of the third (June 16, 1987) and of the fourth (June 9,
1988). The principal aim of the International Workshops is to
present the state-of-the-art in scientific high speed computa tion.
Indeed, during the past ten years computational science has become
a third methodology with merits equal to the theo retical and
experimental sciences. Regretfully, access to supercomputers
remains limited for academic researchers. None theless,
supercomputers have become a major tool for scientists in a wide
variety of scientific fields, and they lead to a realistic solution
of problems that could not be solved a decade ago. It is a pleasure
to thank the Belgian National Science Foundation (NFWO-FNRS) for
the sponsoring of all the workshops. These workshops are organized
in the framework of the Third Cy cle "Vectorization, Parallel
Processing and Supercomputers," which is also funded by the
NFWO-FNRS. The other sponsor I want to thank is the University of
Antwerp, where the workshops took place. The University of Antwerp
(UIA), together with the NFWO-FNRS, are also the main sponsors of
the ALPHA-project, which gives the scientists of Belgium the
opportunity to obtain an easy supercomputer connection."
Restorative justice occupies an important place in criminological
literature and criminal justice policies and is about facilitating
communication between victims, offenders and communities in search
of conciliation. Research shows that victims of crime are generally
highly satisfied with their participation in a restorative
intervention, such as victim-offender mediation, family group
conferencing and victim-offender encounters. In order to maintain
good restorative practice, the reasons why restorative justice is
appreciated need to be clearly understood. In this book, Tinneke
Van Camp identifies and explores the factors that contribute to
victims' appreciation of restorative practices in order to advance
insight into why restorative justice works for victims. Based on
original research and qualitative interviews with victims of
violent crime, this book draws on procedural justice theory and
socio-psychological studies and analyses how victims value
restorative interventions. The findings shed a light on the factors
that contribute to victim satisfaction with restorative
interventions and show how they relate to procedural fairness, as
well as allow an exploration of how the timing of the restorative
intervention in the criminal justice proceedings affects victim
appreciation. With its use of in-depth interviews and case
descriptions, this book will be of interest to academics,
practitioners and students alike. It will be of particular interest
to those engaged in the study of victims and victim concerns,
restorative justice and procedural justice.
Stories are medicine. During a time of heightened isolation,
bestselling author Richard Van Camp shares what he knows about the
power of storytelling-and offers some of his own favourite stories
from Elders, friends, and family. Gathering around a campfire, or
the dinner table, we humans have always told stories. Through them,
we define our identities and shape our understanding of the world.
Master storyteller and bestselling author Richard Van Camp writes
of the power of storytelling and its potential to transform
speakers and audiences alike. In Gather , Van Camp shares what
elements make a compelling story and offers insights into basic
storytelling techniques, such as how to read a room and how to
capture the attention of listeners. And he delves further into the
impact storytelling can have, helping readers understand how to
create community and how to banish loneliness through their tales.
A member of the Tlicho Dene First Nation, Van Camp also includes
stories from Elders whose wisdom influenced him. During a time of
uncertainty and disconnection, stories reach across vast distances
to offer connection. Gather is a joyful reminder of this for
storytellers: all of us.

Young Rembrandt concentrates on the first ten years of the career
of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669). Born in Leiden, he trained there
with Isaac van Swanenburg and in Amsterdam with Pieter Lastman.
After a short stay in Amsterdam he returned to Leiden and set up a
studio where he began his extraordinary career, painting scenes
from the Bible and classical mythology and history, as well as a
handful of genre scenes and portraits. His progress is remarkable:
from the earliest hesitant paintings of the Five Senses in about
1624 to the wonderfully assured Jeremiah of 1630 it is almost
possible to trace his development and his increasing fluency and
self-confidence from month to month and certainly from year to
year.

"I'm a stranger to horses and horses are strangers to me, " admits
the author/narrator at the beginning of this delightful tale of
discovery. Members of the Dogrib nation from Canada, Van Camp's
people use dogs instead of horses. Yet Van Camp has always been
curious about horses. So he sets off on a playful search for "the
most beautiful thing about horses, " talking to family, friends,
and even artist George Littlechild, who is a Plains Cree and knows
something about horses. The answers Van Camp gets range from zany
to profound: Horses can run sideways. Horses have secrets. Horses
can always find their way home. Littlechild's bold and fanciful
paintings perfectly capture Van Camp's playful vision of the world.
From the Middle Ages to the present, master draftsmen have used the
technique of metalpoint to create some of the most beautiful and
technically accomplished drawings in the history of art. Drawing in
Silver and Gold examines the history of this evocative medium, in
which a metal stylus is used on a specially prepared surface to
create lines of astonishing delicacy. This beautifully illustrated
book examines the practice of metalpoint over six centuries, in the
work of artists ranging from Leonardo, Durer, and Rembrandt to Otto
Dix and Jasper Johns. A team of authors--curators, conservators,
scientists--address variations in technique across time and between
different schools, incorporating new scientific analysis, revealing
patterns of use, and providing a rare demonstration of the medium's
range and versatility. They reappraise famous metalpoints of the
Renaissance and shed new light on infrequently studied periods,
such as the seventeenth century and the Victorian silverpoint
revival. A new examination of an exquisite but not thoroughly
understood medium, Drawing in Silver and Gold offers fresh
interpretations of a practice central to the history of drawing and
will serve as the most authoritative reference on metalpoints for
years to come. Exhibition schedule: * National Gallery of Art -
