Ewout Storm van Leeuwen When the climate goes feral

The world is tipping and they must make it on their own. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie

Ewout Storm van Leeuwen Boreal bushcraft

living in the wild from the wild; novel

What if you disconnect from society altogether? Urban nomads know what that's like, but they continue to live in the city in frayed corners and live on a kind of handouts and what others throw away.

Bushcraft is called that, the skill of living in the wild from the wild. They do have some trade with the "inhabited...

Epicureanism and scientific debates

antiquity and late reception

Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically...

Hugo Grotius Annals of the war in the Low Countries

The Annals of the War in the Low Countries is one of Hugo Grotius' lesser-known works. Grotius expresses a contrarian view of the early revolt, which he presents not as a united battle for the true faith and the ancient liberties of the land but as a protracted and painful struggle, not only with the great power of Spain, but also with discord, selfishness and religious fanaticism among the Dutch. To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Grotius...

Dirk Lauwaert Selected Writings, 1983-2004

Radically subjective. Radically unapologetic. Radically demanding. These are the hallmarks of Dirk Lauwaert's skill, attitude, and sensitivity, which are the result of radical attention. Belgian writer and critic Dirk Lauwaert (1944-2013) wrote about images, be they moving or still, historical or contemporary, overfamiliar or unseen. He experienced them intensely, studied them attentively, and connected them to ethical, philosophical, or social issues in texts that invited readers to do the same,...

Mohamad Mostafa Fakhri The Reign Of Solomon

The Second Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in 1402 Anno Hegirae

The Jews believe that they will be spared suffering, pain and oppression because they have lived the norms and values through legislation that they have jointly drafted. Christians believe that they cannot be executed on Judgment Day because, on rather dubious reasoning, they crucified Jesus of Nazareth and made him pay the ultimate price, as it were, for the sins of subjects of Christian societies. The Muslims, with their different denominations, believe that salvation comes from the recognition...
