Collection Province of Limburg, Photography Alf Mertens. Claudy Jongstra, born in 1963 in Limburg, is an artist who uses felt as a basic material. She has her own flock of Drenthe Heath sheep that produce her wool, and a botanical garden that provides her dyes. Not only does this allow her to work in an autonomous and sustainable way, but at the same time she pre- serves natural and cultural heritage. She uses a rare breed of sheep, plants threatened by extinction, and knowledge and techniques that were becoming forgotten. She has worked with well-known fashion designers and architects and has won a fair number of prizes. © 2011 Annemarie van Zeijl-Rozema, Maastricht ISBN 978 94 6159 051 0 Production: Datawyse | Universitaire Pers Maastricht Regional Sustainable Development: Barriers in Practice Findings from policy, citizens, practitioners and monitoring Proefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Universiteit Maastricht op gezag van de Rector Magnificus prof.mr.

Research Guide to Libraries and Archives in the Low Countries Abstract This guide, eight years in the making, owes its existence to the Council of European Studies (CBS) at Columbia University. Conceived in 1982 as part of the CBS "research resources" series for scholars planning a first research trip abroad, it complements pre-dissertation grants awarded by the Council to doctoral candidates in the humanities and social sciences. Earlier volumes in the series, Research resources: libraries and archives in Germany (1975) and Research resources: libraries and archives in France (rev. ed., 1979), both authored by Erwin K. Welsch of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, served as a model and source of inspiration.
