Androcles’ philosophy explores the basic principles underlying veterinary medicine and animal health sciences. This cannot be explored without looking at the significance of animals in our society. Animals have many roles, from companion animals to sport animals, as laboratory animals for scientific purposes and as animals for food production. The complex relationships of animals with science, people, society, especially the economy and even ecosystems make their position precarious. As our...

In the twenty-first century, terms such as globalization, global, and world function as key words at the cusp of new frontiers in both historical writing and literary criticism. Practitioners of these disciplines may appear to be long time intimate lovers when seen from pre and early modern time periods, only to divorce with the coming of Anglophone world history in the twenty-first century. In recent years, works such as Martin Puchner’s The Written World, Maya Jasanoff’s The Dawn Watch,...

Sébastien Nagy reisde de afgelopen jaren de hele wereld rond en bracht onderweg met zijn dronecamera bruggen, torens, huizen, wegen, monumenten en andere bouwwerken in beeld. In dit boek laat de Brusselse fotograaf op spectaculaire wijze zien welke architectonische voetafdruk de mens achterlaat op aarde. Van Mont Saint-Michel in Normandië tot de Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco en van het waterfietspad in Bokrijk tot de Dubai Frame in de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten: Nagy vangt deze beke...

This book presents innovative examples of hidden architecture: buildings that are designed to disappear into their surroundings or hide in plain sight. In the city, hidden buildings are often designed to provide the occupants with privacy and protection from the busy world outside or they can be incorporated into the streetscape to free up space for public use. In the countryside, buildings should not spoil a scenic landscape, so they can be designed to become a part of it. Buildings can be b...

A slower pace of life, outdoor space and tight-knit communities come hand-in-hand with village living - something many have come to appreciate in recent months. Many city-dwellers are looking for an alternative way of life and are preparing to move, making the dream reality.

The Chronicles of Dragondom and Beyond is the story of Aisha.

Yes, a girl. A shy human who from an early age always felt different. Then when she moved, renting her first home alone, in a little town nestled in an ancient stone circle, the magic began. She walked through a portal in time and space into a magical, mystical world of Arionel where trees talk, unicorns and magical creatures live, and yes, dragons. She can’t go back, at least for now, as she is told she must learn who she really...

This publication, the fourth volume of an important catalogue raisonné of the work of Francis Picabia (1879-1953), includes paintings and selected drawings dating from 1940 into 1952.

During the war years, while still residing in the south of France, Picabia was primarily occupied by figural subjects - multi figure allegories, female nudes, and glamorous female "portraits" - painted in bold illusionistic relief. Notorious even in his lifetime, most of these works are now known to have adapte...

The ancient glass industry changed dramatically towards the end of the first millennium. The Roman glassmaking tradition of mineral soda glass was increasingly supplanted by the use of plant ash as the main fluxing agent at the turn of the ninth century CE. Defining primary production groups of plant ash glass has been a challenge due to the high variability of raw materials and the smaller scale of production. Islamic Glass in the Making advocates a large-scale archaeometric approach to the ...
