Hoe omstreden de term Gouden Eeuw ook is, in de zeventiende eeuw zelf was deze al volop in gebruik, bij de Nederlanders zelf en bij de talloze buitenlanders die ons land bezochten. De Republiek onderscheidde zich door vernieuwingen op de meest uiteenlopende gebieden: politiek met zijn republikeinse systeem, technisch met zijn inpolderingen, economisch met zijn bankinstellingen, artistiek met zijn wereldberoemde schilders, en religieus met een tolerantie die destijds uitzonderlijk was. De Gouden Eeuw in 500 portretten, taferelen & analyses geeft een levendig beeld van deze unieke periode aan de hand van meer dan 500 bijdragen, geschreven door meer dan 130 specialisten, die alle terreinen bestrijken: van slavenhandel tot Bijbeluitleg, van koloniën tot schilderkunst, van oorlogen tot kaasmakerij, van overstromingen tot scheepsbouw, van schaatsen tot de radicale Verlichting. Beknopte biografieën van filosofen, kunstenaars, historische figuren en vooraanstaande families, en geschreven portretten van de belangrijkste Nederlandse steden, maken dit kleurrijke portret van de Gouden Eeuw compleet. Elke bijdrage gaat vergezeld van een schitterende, soms paginagrote, kleurenafbeelding. Ook zijn speciaal voor het boek nieuwe, op de laatste stand van de wetenschap gebaseerde kaarten getekend. Een meer up-to-date en omvattend beeld van de Gouden Eeuw is de komende decennia niet te verwachten. Deze uitgave bestaat uit twee banden. Willem Frijhoff (1942) is emeritus-hoogleraar moderne geschiedenis van de Vrije Universiteit te Amsterdam en gasthoogleraar cultuurgeschiedenis aan de Erasmus Universiteit te Rotterdam. Hij was aan meerdere Europese universiteiten verbonden, is eredoctor van de universiteit van Bergen (Henegouwen) en lid van de Academia Europaea. Catherine Secretan (1950) was als onderzoekster verbonden aan het wereldberoemde Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) en is auteur van talrijke bijdragen over de ideeëngeschiedenis van Nederland, en laureaat van de Académie des Sciences morales et politiques en van de Frans-Nederlandse Descartes-Huygensprijs.

Hij is hoogleraar Dutch Area Studies. Zijn onderzoek concentreert zich, vanuit een internationaal perspectief, op sociale geschiedenis, religieuze coëxistentie en conflicten, en politieke iconografie.Shipping Notes

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (so far)
Format: Paperback
I'm maybe a third of the way through this and already rethinking how I talk to coding agents. The reframe from "prompt engineering" to "context engineering" sounds like semantics until Marco walks you through why context poisoning, context clash, the Goldilocks zone for system prompts. That chapter alone reorganized something in my head. I keep going back to the line about garbage in, garbage out being the real reason agentic systems underperform.
The hands-on stuff lands well too. Building the HookHub project from scratch, wiring up Playwright MCP, watching Claude generate a CLAUDE.md file and then not automatically loading a memory file you just created — that moment where you expect magic and get silence instead? That's the kind of honest teaching I appreciate. It made the "why" behind memory hierarchies click.

Essential Reading for Developers Serious About Agentic AI Workflows with Claude Code
Format: Paperback
Agentic Coding with Claude Code is easily one of the most practical and forward-thinking AI development books I’ve read. Instead of treating Claude Code like a simple chatbot, this book shows how to turn it into a true agentic development platform capable of handling real-world engineering workflows.
What I appreciated most was how actionable the content is. The explanations around slash commands, hooks, persistent memory files, and MCP servers are incredibly clear and immediately useful. The author does an excellent job balancing foundational concepts with hands-on implementation, making advanced topics like multi-agent orchestration and hierarchical delegation approachable for experienced developers.
The chapters on MCP and context engineering were especially valuable. Most AI books stay at the surface level, but this one dives deep into structured context sharing, workflow automation, and scalable AI-assisted development practices that actually matter in production environments.
I also liked that the book focuses heavily on maintainability and control. It doesn’t just show flashy demos—it teaches how to safely integrate AI agents into existing terminal and IDE workflows while enforcing coding standards and keeping projects organized.
The examples using Claude Code with Next.js projects were practical and helped connect the concepts to real software engineering scenarios. The sections on subagents, planning workflows, and reusable automation patterns opened my eyes to entirely new ways of approaching AI pair programming and development productivity.
If you are a developer, AI engineer, or technical lead looking to move beyond basic prompt engineering and build reliable, scalable AI-assisted workflows, this book is absolutely worth reading. Highly recommended for anyone serious about modern agentic coding and AI-powered software development.

Agentic Coding - all the right pieces in the right places
Format: Paperback
Before obtaining a copy of this book, I had not yet become familiar with Claude Code and didn't realize how robust AI Pair Programming is now. However, I did know and have rigorously promoted the absolute importance of Context (via Context Engineering) in any AI-prompted tasks, including coding. This book brings all of that together in an incredibly useful book (dare I say... a comprehensive toolkit and handbook) for AI-prompted coding in these multiple modalities: IDE, command-line, and pair programming. It covers memory management, agents, subagents, multiple-agent systems, context-sharing, orchestration, enforcement of coding standards, code maintenance, and more - for executing AI-assisted development with confidence. I highly recommend this book.
Disclosure: the publisher provided me with a free review copy of the book.

Perfect size for me
Color: Light Color Series, Style: Waffle Pattern, Color: Light Color Series, Style: Waffle Pattern
Washed the cloths before use with just detergent. Pretty much stayed it shape and fluffy texture. It lathers well with any soap and drys fast. Love the texture size more than the exfoliating size. Texture side is great for sensitive face cleaning. The exfoliating side did soften after repeated use. I feel it is still little to rough for the face, but great for the body.

Great quality
Color: Light Color Series, Style: Waffle Pattern
These are a bit oversized compared to regular washcloths but that makes it easier when exfoliating your own back.
The one side is soft and plush. They are easy to wring out.
They wash up nicely. I use a linen bag when washing them but it's not necessary.
