Alphen aan den Rijn
(November 26, 2012) - Wolters Kluwer has partnered with the John Adams Institute
to offer its expertise in software solutions
and information-enabled tools in support of the Amsterdam-based
cultural institution. The e-book is being announced tonight at an
event featuring former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright. It commemorates the
25th year anniversary of
the John Adams Institute, and is a collection of excerpts, short
stories, and video clips from 25 prominent authors and public
figures who have spoken at John Adams Institute
events.
Authors include Madeleine Albright, Nobel and
Pulizer Prize winner Toni Morrison, authors Jonathan Franzen and
Susan Sontag, and American civil rights activist Jesse Jackson,
among others. The special digital edition will be given as a gift
to supporters of the John Adams Institute.
"The John Adams Institute has brought hundreds of
prominent American speakers to the Netherlands to present their
work to Dutch audiences, including some of the major figures of our
time. The e-book celebrating our 25th anniversary brings together
works by many of these figures, both in text and in video form. We
wanted to use new technology to celebrate the past, and Wolters
Kluwer, with its vast expertise, helped us to achieve our goal,"
shared Russell Shorto, director of the John Adams Institute.
The John Adams Institute was established in 1987
as an independent institution to promote cultural exchange between
the United States of America and the Netherlands. Wolters Kluwer
has been a corporate sponsor of this organization since 2005 as a
part of its drive to support local organizations and promote
sustainable growth by providing high-quality information-enabled
tools and software solutions that improve the quality of work and
the quality of life for the communities where it does business.
