André Hoogeboom Max – The un-authorized story of the youngest driver ever to win the Formula 1 In 2015, the Dutch racing world was going mad: Max Verstappen, son of former Formula 1 racing driver Jos Verstappen and successful kart driver Sophie Kumpen, made his début in Australia as the youngest Formula 1 driver in the history of the sport.

After an impressive career as newspaper journalist Andre Hoogeboom is now a full time author specializing in books geared to the racing industry. He has written books on car manufacturers such as Spyker and Donkervoort.

Max had already made a name for himself before this transfer to the big league. He had been very successful, winning championships in every competition he participated in. Verstappen had already won almost every karting race in his age group, and moved to Formula 3 racing at the age of 16, winning his first ten races.

Then, on Whitsunday, 15 May 2016, the unimaginable happens. Max writes his name in the history books of the Formula 1: he is the youngest driver ever to win the Grand Prix of Spain at the Circuit de Cata-

lunya in Barcelona. A historic moment in Dutch sporting history.

The book ‘Max – Het ongeautoriseerde verhaal over de jongste Formule 1-winnaar ooit’, written by sports journalist André Hoogeboom, is a collection of interviews that describes Verstappen’s road to the million dollar league. All the people who were interviewed agree: Max Verstappen has a unique talent, and they all predict a glorious future for this young man.

The question is not if Max Verstappen will be Formula 1 World Champion, but when.

Bert Kreuk Art Flipper

Looking at art, and later on collecting it, was succesful entrepreneur and business man Bert Kreuk’s way of relaxing. He studied a world that fascinated him to no end, but whose insiders would revolt against his presence when it turned out that he would not comply with the ‘unwritten rules’ of the art world. This soon gave him the patronising label of ‘art flipper’. He was accused of trying to get rich dealing in art, even though he had always been open about his purchases and sales, and refused to be

part of their back room politics. The biggest shock was that the accusations often came from those who made secret deals, selling art ‘under the table’.

Bert Kreuk gained instant fame when he bought the flag that played a unique role in the events on D-Day. Bert Kreuk is a successful businessman,

He encountered increasingly more dubious deals, shrewd tricks and downright lies. His admiration turned to bewilderment. In Art Flipper, Bert Kreuk tells us all about the fascinating world of the international art trade.

Philip Meelhuysen 40+ Homo’s Gay Midlife Taboo-breaking book by an experienced expert

In his early twenties, Philip Meelhuysen moved to Amsterdam, where he studied Political Science at the University of Amsterdam.

He specialised in International Relations. After graduating, Meelhuysen spent several years living and working in London. He worked in project and program management, and made a name for him-

The book 40+ Homo’s: Gay Midlife offers the reader a look into the enjoyable, but at times difficult, lives of gay men who are no longer part of the younger generation.

During their mid-life period, they face challenges that are different from those of their straight contemporaries. What do you do when people stop looking at you?

What changes when your looks disappear, and how quickly can all of this happen?

self as an e-commerce and on-line manager at different multinationals in the Netherlands. 40+ Homo’s: Gay Midlife is his first book.

• Do gays have a different mid-life period?

• Daddies and other gay labels • Peter Pan and the 40+ Party Boys • Less sex, more drugs Title 40+ Homo’s Author Philip Meelhuysen Dutch title 40+ Homo’s – Gesprekken over gay midlife Paperback 14 x 21,5 cm Size ca. 200 pag.

Meelhuysen discusses these issues in chapters about the body, media, stereotypes, going out, being single, relation-

ships, on-line dating, sex and role models. Gay mid-life is a taboo subject, but it is an increasingly important theme for gays during the middle part of their life. In his book ‘40+ Homo’s’, Meelhuysen compares the existing theory about gay midlife with his own experiences, those of the fifteen 40+ gays he interviewed, and those of over one hundred mid-life gays who participated in an on-line survey.

40+ Homo’s is a good read, certainly also interesting for younger gays and straight people, who could learn a thing or two from 40+ gays.

Healthy juices are very popular. Juicers have never sold this well before. In a slow juicer vegetables and fruits are crushed and squeezed gently at a low speed (but with quick juice result). This produces high-quality juice in which minerals and enzymes remain intact. Of course you can also make smoothies and still benefit from the advantages of slow juicing.

Slow! contains 175 recipes for exciting combinations. Not only the juice, but also the remaining pulp is used in inspiring recipes. This way the entire fruit or vegetable is used and nothing is wasted.

Apart from the traditional recipes, Slow! also presents recipes for sauces, soups, dressings and other tasty things!

Joost Duisterwinkel is the founder of Versapers. After learning about the phenomenon of slow juicing in Thailand, he decided to develop his own slow juicer. Now Versapers has grown into an international company.

In Schokgolf, professional adventurer Frank van Zwol once again manages to weave facts and fiction into one adventurous tale. How plausible would it be, a volcano being the target of a terrorist attack?

In Schokgolf, the author sends his secret agent persona Tom Brandt straight across the rugged, impenetrable terrain of Iceland, in an attempt to foil an attack that would be bigger than any of the previous attacks anywhere on earth. An Al Qa’ida cell is developing an ingenious plan to detonate the very explosive volcano Katla, with dramatic consequences.
