Son travail est aujourd'hui connu dans le monde de la philosophie du management et de la gestion d'entreprise par les livres qu'il a écrits ou co-écrits. Il organise également des séminaires où il expose ses différentes théories. Victime à l'âge de 10 ans de la poliomyélite à cause d'un vaccin déficient, Luc de Brabandere passera des centaines d'heures en rééducation .Cet évènement le poursuivra toute sa vie. Luc de Brabandere a souvent été amené à beaucoup voyager d'une part à cause de son travail et d'autre part par plaisir, c'est ainsi qu'il entreprit, pour sa lune de miel en 1972, un voyage de 8 mois dans un van à travers plus de 20 pays différents. Il est le père d'un fils et de deux jumelles. Passionné de philosophie, de mathématique mais aussi de vélo, il effectue d'abord pour ses 50 ans le trajet Bruxelles- Rome avec son fils, ensuite Bruxelles- St Jacques de Compostelle trois ans plus tard, et enfin Bruxelles- Jérusalem en 2008. A 20 ans, en pleine révolution de mai 68, Luc de Brabandere entreprend des études de mathématicien à l'Université Catholique de Louvain. En 1971, il devient ingénieur civil en Mathématiques...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
In the early 1930s Henri van Abbe began to dream of building a center in Eindhoven where its people could be introduced to the mysteries of contemporary art--a place where they could enjoy art. In 1936 he realized this dream by donating to the city the Van Abbemuseum, which, at that time, still consisted primarily of artworks purchased and placed on loan by Henri van Abbe himself. Sixty years later, the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum has grown into one of the most prominent museums for modern art in the world. Through the course of its history, the visionary acquisition policies of its often distinguished directors have given rise to an impressive collection that includes works by modern masters such as Picasso, Braque, Chagall, Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, and Mondrian, as well as by contemporary artists like Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Mike Kelley, and Marijke van Warmerdam. This publication of this first reference work on the Van Abbemuseum's collection marks the opening of the museum's new building in January 2003. A lavishly illustrated book, it offers detailed descriptions of the collection, the history of the museum, and its collecting policies. Each chapter examines a theme, such as De Stijl, CoBrA, conceptualism, and minimal art, and considers works from the collection in their historical context. The catalog offers a representative overview of the Van Abbemuseum collection, but also serves as a general introduction to the art of the 20th century. Published in conjunction with Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.

Edited by Jan Debbaut and Monique Verhulst.

Product Description

Pierre-Francois Verhulst, with his seminal work using the logistic map to describe population growth and saturation, paved the way for the many applications of this tool in modern mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, economics and sociology. Indeed nowadays the logistic map is considered a useful and paradigmatic showcase for the route leading to chaos. This volume gathers contributions from some of the leading specialists in the field to present a state-of-the art view of the many ramifications of the developments initiated by Verhulst over a century ago.
