Bert Thurlings Bizarre legends, the CO2-syndrome, the mysteries of Ethiopia and the enigmatic king Salomon
weird mysteries, curious interpretations
The world is full of misunderstood mysteries. As tourists, we visit an ancient ruin, trying to imagine how it once was but not seeing the advanced technology that was used. Or we walk past some dusty pots in a museum but don't realize how they were made. We walk on and get on with the business of the day. Those stones? Surely they were just cut out of a rock, doesn't everyone know that? Those pots? You just bake them in an oven, right? Everyone knows that too, don't they? But then you scratch your...

Bert Thurlings Giants, wandering planets and lost knowledge
mysterious high-tech of the pharaohs, the demise of the giants and the prehistoric transatlantic contacts
Science is based on facts, that is common knowledge. But what if those facts contradict each other, what is true then? Does what "most scientists" think apply then? Rocks from the moon, collected with the Apollo flights, have an age of +/- 4.6 billion years. But one of them deviates seriously: 5.5 billion years old or even more. So what is the real age? Because people don't know, that one deviation is further ignored; after all, the majority points to 4.6 billion years anyway. But science is not...

Perry Pierik The Red Army stumbles
Russian campaign 1941
The start of operation 'Barbarossa' was the beginning of one of the most dramatic campaigns in World History. Two titans clashed. The summer of 1941 was catastrophic to the Red Army. However, they were able to keep their position. This blood drenched marvel is what this book is about, which shows that heroism and terror go hand in hand when it comes to stopping German attackers at the gates of Moscow.

Aris Gaaff Debts without redemption
cultural differences in First World War finance
Old war debts never die, they just fade away....... In 2015, Britain finally paid off a large war loan issued in 1917 to finance the First World War. In 2010, Germany made the last payments on some 80-year-old debts originally used to finance part of its reparations bill imposed by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. These were exceptions. The vast majority of the debts made during the Great War have never been paid back, including billion dollar loans from the US to western allies. These debts were...

Ton Toutnu The beginning, the end and everything in between
under the auspices of Dr. anTONius F.W. Morselt
The beginning, the end, and everything in between stars the man. It's about the life of a Dutch man, born in 1939 and up to the end that is yet to come. Preparations have started for that end, however. Judging by the large membership numbers of the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Vrijwillige Euthanasie-the Dutch euthanasia association-he is not the only one. Most of this book, however, is about what happens between birth and death. You have to talk to a Dutchman in half-English; that's what they like...

Andrew Shortland | Patrick Degryse When art isn't real
the world's most controversial objects under investigation
The art world is a multi-billion-dollar industry which captures world headlines on a regular basis, for both good and bad reasons. This book deals with one of the most-discussed areas of controversy: high-profile objects that have experts arguing about their veracity. Some may have been looted, others may be fakes, some may be heavily restored or misattributed. Often, in these cases, analytical science is called on to settle a dispute. The authors of this book have decades of experience in this field,...

The body as a mirror of the soul
physiognomy from Antiquity to the Renaissance
The idea of the body as a mirror of the soul has fascinated mankind throughout history. Being able to see through an individual, and drawing conclusions on their character solely based on a selection of external features, is the subject of physiognomy, and has a long tradition running well into recent times. However, the pre-modern, especially medieval background of this discipline has remained underexplored. The selected case studies in this volume each contribute to a better understanding of the...

Heraldic hierarchies
identity, status and state intervention in early modern heraldry
Early modern heraldry was far from a nostalgic remnant from a feudal past. From the Reformation to the French Revolution, aspiring men seized on these signs to position themselves in a changing society, imbuing heraldic tradition with fresh meaning. Whereas post-medieval developments are all too often described in terms of decadence and stifling formality, recent studies rightly stress the dynamic capacity of bearing arms. Heraldic Hierarchies aims to correct former misconceptions. Contributing authors...
