Dr. Peter Friess, curator of the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, presents a fascinating insight into the wonderful world of watchmaking. The result is a publication that arouses (almost) as much desire as a watch from Patek Philippe.

Dit boek van oud-marinevlieger en historicus Kees Leebeek is geschreven op basis van authentieke bronnen en interviews met nog in leven zijnde bemanningsleden die dienden in Nederlands Nieuw Guinea in de periode van 1950-1960. De primitieve omstandigheden ter plekke vormden het levensechte decor waarin het loyale en plichtsgetrouwe marinepersoneel onder vaak moeilijke omstandigheden en ver verwijderd van huis en haard met deze grote amfibische vliegboten haar bijdrage leverde aan de verdedigi...

Overschakelen op duurzame energie vergt veel meer

dan windturbines en zonnepanelen bijbouwen.

Het hele energiesysteem moet op de schop. Vraag

en aanbod van duurzame energie liggen namelijk te

duurzame energie het hardst nodig is, is er een groot

gebrek aan ruimte. En de woestijnen en oceanen,

met een overvloed aan zon en wind, liggen ver weg.

Dit boek laat zien hoe je deze opslag- en transportproblemen

slim kunt oplossen met waterstof en
