Oh man! For an eleven-year-old boy, an eventful day at the beach becomes even more exciting when a soldier asks him to deliver a tubular case to headquarters. But where the devil is headquarters? And who or what are these strange characters he meets?

Eugène Baak’s Pier Open Closed is an extraordinary fairy tale in words, photos and drawings. Appropriate for all ages.

O man! Een bewogen dagje aan het strand wordt voor een elfjarige jongen nog spannender als een soldaat hem vraagt een ronde ...

Some may simply refer to AMARG as 'the boneyard', but this facility near Davis-Monthan AFB is so much more. It is the end for numerous aircraft and helicopters, but it is also the beginning for many others. Lots of airframes are stripped of hard to find items. These reclaimed spare parts find their way to active aircraft in US-service or abroad. Other aircraft fly out. Back into service, as a future drone, a foreign military sale or as a much needed fire fighter. Even as scrap metal there sti...

Chronic stress is a widespread phenomenon putting health and well-being at risk for many people in Western materialist societies. Most of us experience high stress levels in our daily lives, and we seem to accept it as the price for living a “good” life. However, if we do not handle stress well, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and mental disorders. Almost 50 percent of the people I trained and coached in the past year told me that they had experienced burnout, had just rec...

Even 75 years after the end of World War II, Hollywood productions and the war’s battlefield sites continue to draw large audiences. Over the years, representations of the war have changed from a focus on its glory to its suffering though. The ideal “lest we forget” has been extended to “never again.” By drawing on interviews with actors in the field of remembrance and U.S. remembrance tourists, using Band of Brothers (1993 and 2001) as a case study, this thesis will critically disc...

On average, mankind uses 1.7 Earths each year for raw materials, food and energy. Many countries even more. Most green initiatives call for action, but do not address the over-consumption and its causes. This manifesto shows our true escape: stop doing, degrowth and help Mother Earth to regenerate. Work with nature, not against it. The knowledge is still here.

People are doers and always call for action. But doing is exactly the root cause of the ecological problems we now face. All of our do...

This book is a spiritual biography. When I was 7 years old, some new playmates I just met almost buried me alive. When everything turned dark and I was lost in panic, my spirit detached itself from my body in order to find help.

Through experiments with hypnosis, out-of-body experiences and past life regression, it became more and more clear to me that body and mind are separate components, connected in a temporary way.

Besides this, I was fascinated to discover how by means of alternative...
