Rousseaus Elysium / druk 1
Ermenonville revisited
Paperback || Gerard J. van den Broek || Sidestone Press
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) is generally seen as one of the most important figures whose ideas had a great influence on the French Revolution (1789). Many immediately associate him with the concept of "the noble savage." However, just as with his political and philosophical writings, his love for botany and scenery would change the landscape of continental Europe, if not the world.
This book presents a unique view of the young Rousseau's awakening love for plants, and his sometimes euph...

Schliemann en Nederland / druk 1
Paperback || Wout Arentzen || Sidestone Press
De beroemde archeoloog, zakenman en reiziger Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890) legde de basis voor zijn fortuin in Nederland. Dit boek beschrijft zijn leven daarom vanuit een Nederlands perspectief.

In het vervolg van zijn leven zorgt hij er steeds opnieuw voor dat de mensen hem ...

Paperback || Olivier Nyirubugara || Sidestone Press
This book discusses one of the most frequently discussed subjects in history education during the last two decades, namely how secondary school pupils use the World Wide Web for their learning activities.

Het handgevormde aardewerk uit de ijzertijd en de Romeinse tijd van Oss-Ussen. Studies naar typochronologie, technologie en herkomst
Paperback || P.W. van den Broeke || Sidestone Press
De vaak honderden aardewerkfragmenten die in Oss-Ussen werden aangetroffen in waterputten, kuilen, greppels en huisplattegronden vormden het aangrijpingspunt voor een studie naar het aardewerk uit een min of meer aaneengesloten bewoningsperiode van een millennium (ca. 800 v.Chr.-250 n.Chr.).
In het eerste deel worden de ontwikkelingen in de uiterlijke aspecten van het lokaal vervaardigde aardewerk geschetst die waarneembaar zijn in 14 opeenvolgende fasen. De reeks begint op de overgang van de...
Amotopoan Trails. A recent archaeology of Trio movements
Paperback || Jimmy Mans || Sidestone Press

As a result of technological and methodological progress in archaeology, mobility has become increasingly visible on the level of the individual. However, as a concept it does not seem to fit with current approaches in Amazonian archaeology, which favour a move away from viewing small mobile groups as models for the deeper past.Instead of ignoring such ethnographic tyrannies, in this bo...
