Luuk van Middelaar bevindt zich tussen 2010 en 2015 in het zenuwcentrum van de Europese politiek, en ziet voor zijn ogen hoe de gedaanteverandering van Europa zich voltrekt. In de Europese Raad ontwikkelt zich een nieuw bewustzijn van eigen rol en gewicht als de verzamelde regeringsleiders improviserend ontdekken wat het betekent één munt, één grens, één Unie te delen. De zinderende Europese verkiezingsjaren 2016 en 2017 vormen de culminatie van een andere ontwikkeling die evenzeer verbonden is met de nieuwe politiek van Europa. Op onverwachte plaatsen en manieren ontwaakt de werkelijke oppositie, zichtbaar en hoorbaar de gestolde Brusselse consensus uitdagend. Overtuigend verbindt Van Middelaar de dynamiek van de lange ontwikkeling, invallende gebeurtenissen en opstandige bewegingen, en Europa's handelen.

Haarfijn beschrijft Van Middelaar hoe de gebeurtenissenpolitiek zich ontpopt als antwoord op de overrompelende onvoorspelbaarheid van de geschiedenis. Deze nieuwe politiek wil vorm geven, niet aan het einde van de geschiedenis maar aan het begin. Van Middelaar biedt perspectief, schept helderheid in over elkaar heen tuimelende crises, spanningen en conflicten, en zet de grote lijnen uit. Europa is ontegenzeglijk in een politiek revolutionaire fase beland. In de afgelopen jaren heeft de Brusselse regelfabriek haar natuurlijke optimum bereikt. Het publiek is opgestaan. Het schouwspel laat niemand meer koud.
Deze enerverende machtsstrijd in Europa leesbaar en hanteerbaar maken, dat is wat De nieuwe politiek van Europa biedt. Met schwung laat Luuk van Middelaar zien hoe politici in Brussel, Berlijn, Parijs, Londen en Den Haag de Unie met horten en stoten instellen op de toekomst.

Luuk van Middelaar is er andermaal in geslaagd: acht jaar na De passage naar Europa waarmee hij het internationale podium bestormde, biedt hij opnieuw een wervelende geschiedenis van het heden, even onthullend als leerzaam.

Luuk van Middelaar (1973) is toonaangevend historicus en politiek filosoof in Nederland, en in Europa. Van 2010 tot 2015 was hij speechwriter en politiek adviseur van de eerste voorzitter van de Europese Raad, Herman Van Rompuy. Sedert 2015 is Van Middelaar hoogleraar Grondslagen en praktijk van de Europese Unie en haar instellingen aan de Universiteit Leiden, en tevens hoogleraar Europese studies in Louvain-la-Neuve. Hij is vaste politiek commentator van NRC Handelsblad en de Vlaamse De Tijd. Men leest hem in Die Zeit, Le Monde en El País. Zijn vorige boek De Passage naar Europa is veelvuldig bekroond en geëerd, en is wereldwijd vertaald in het Frans, Pools, Duits, Ests, Spaans, Hongaars, Engels, Chinees, Oekraïens, Turks en Braziliaans.

'One of the most cogent thinkers about the EU is Luuk van Middelaar, a historian educated in Holland and France, and now based in Brussels. His articles frequently appear in France, as well as his native Holland. As a former member of the cabinet of the Belgian Herman Van Rompuy, the first president of the European Council, van Middelaar knows the EU from the inside out. He sees the problem of Europe mainly as a political crisis.'
- Ian Buruma, The New York Review of Books

Good quality pillows overall
Size: King (Pack of 2), Color: White
Got a set of these for my wife and myself as we were struggling with our old pillows. These have some really good qualities and some things we'd like to see changed. First, the good: These are look and feel like they are high quality and made with good materials. The foam itself has a very nice feel to it. We love the fact they are adjustable to add or remove foam. They come with a pretty substantial amount already in the pillow. We appreciate the CertiPur certification. Now the improvements or changes we'd like to see: The foam, while feeling great, doesn't bounce back well if you scrunch your pillows, and so every day you have to fluff and reshape the pillow, moreso than some other memory foam pillows we've owned. One side of the pillow is cooled and you can feel that even through the pillow case, and that's a great thing. However, one side is not cooled and we'd have preferred if both sides were made of the cooling material. Overall, these are good pillows and we are not disappointed with the purchase. They are not, however, our perfect pillows (which do seem hard to find), and at some point in the future will probably make their way to the guest bedroom. We would rate them as some of the better pillows we've tried and feel most people would probably like them.

Perfect Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
These are the best pillows ever. You can adjust the firmness or softness to whatever you want. For years i used a soft latex pillow , which you cant get anymore. I will never use another pillow. I have purchased 6 of these after the first one. You pick your own comfort level. Best ever. No more neck aches.

Hallelujah… finally, I found the right pillow!!!
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have spent a lot of money searching for the right pillow. I recently tried to Tempur-pedic that cost twice with this pillow cost. Tempur-pedic flattened out. I’ve had this pill for a few weeks now and it works wonders. I am a paraplegic. You can have a lot of neck problems. I love the fact that this pillow is adjustable. I immediately saw it was too stuffy and took a bunch out. It works perfect so glad I didn’t spend money on a $200 purple pillow. I read a lot of reviews and there were a lot of complaints about the odor. Mine did smell funny when it came out of the box. I immediately threw it in the dryer with a few bounce fabric sheets came out smelling fine. Pillows are a very individual thing, but I think for 40 bucks this pillow is worth a try. I’m really enjoying mine about one of those silk pillowcases to go over it and it sleeps cool and comfortable. Best wishes in your search for the right pillow. Update: I’ve been using this pillow several months and it continues. Give me a good night rest pain-free.. well worth the money. UPDATE: I have been using this pillow for three months and it still works great. It does not flat out or get hot..

Soft comfortable very good pillow
Size: King (Pack of 1), Color: White
I really love my new pillow it's great and comfortable. Yes, it has a little smell, but if you wash the pillowcase and put the pillow on the window for a day you won't notice anything anymore.

Best place for head
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
Do you love not getting sleep and sweating all over your pillow at night when you are asleep? If so then don't buy this pillow! If you want a good nights sleep and cool pillow like me this is the one. Ive always been ehh towards spending so much on a pillow but its 100% worth it, I sleep so much better and it forms to my head and keeps me cool at night. Great support even for my big head and comes with a bag of extra stuffing if you want to have a little more firmer pillow. Highly recommend
