God on Earth: Emperor Domitian
The re-invention of Rome at the end of the 1st century AD
2021 || Hardcover || Aurora Raimondi Cominesi e.a. || Sidestone Press

2022 || Hardcover || Karel Innemée || Sidestone Press
Throughout the millennia and all over the world people have been killed by others, not only in wars and as a result of murders, but also in a ritualised way, often called human sacrifice. Much has been written about this, and research and discussion about ritual killing continue. This book offers contributions to this on-going discussion, by a re-evaluation of the term human sacrifice, arguing that not all forms of ritual killing can be considered to be sacrificial.

Interdisciplinary academic research related to different perspectives of landscapes
2021 || Hardcover || S.J. Kluiving e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

This means that the environment cannot be regarded as a blank space that landscape meaning is projected onto. Parallel to this, the field of env...
