‎Christopher Lehmpfuhl. Berlin plein air. Paintings 1995-2010 ENG / D‎

‎, , 2011 Hardcover, 456 pages / seiten, ENG / D, 350 x 240 x 47 mm, in New condition / wie Neu , illustrations in colour / farbe. ISBN 9783938666517.‎

‎Between 1995 and 2010, the Berlin artist Christopher Lehmpfuhl explored his city in the fascinating body of works now presented in this monograph. With more than 400 illustrations, the book offers a comprehensive overview of an artistic examination addressing all the many facets of Berlin - a city that since the fall of the Berlin Wall has been in a permanent process of transformation. A document of contemporary artistic practice, the 450-page catalog introduces 300 works that have never before been published, including 100 small formats which Lehmpfuhl painted especially for the deluxe edition. His paintings bear witness to the deep affinity the artist holds for Berlin - for its beauty and for its ugliness, for its history and for the urban transformation that has taken place here over the past fifteen years. His subjects are the places in his native city to which he finds himself drawn again and again, and his paintings - both the miniatures and the multi-part large-scale works - recreate before the viewers' very eyes the atmosphere.‎

‎Botticelli's Primavera : A Botanical Interpretation Including Astrology, Alchemy, and the Medici‎

‎Firenze, Italy, L.S. Olschki, 1983 Hardcover, 215 pages, ENG, 315 x 220 x 20 mm, dustjacket, red linen with black imprint, book itself is in perfect condition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788822231314.‎

‎«If we have to indicate an artist who represents the Uffizi Galleries, certainly Botticelli even prevails over Michelangelo». These are the words with which the Director of the Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, introduces the reading of this book. After all, Botticelli's popularity with the general public, the quotations, and even the gadgets derived from his works testify to his success. But above all, the large panel of Primavera stands out, icon of the imagination and undisputed symbol of the Renaissance. There is nothing else to say. The book that we are now presenting, however, uses the flowers and plants of the meadow on which the famous scene takes place as a key to understanding the work and its meanings and brings out a world of meanings and suggestions that lightly introduce the heart deeper than that extraordinary period which goes by the name of the Renaissance.‎

‎"In the heart of Outeniqualand, where sunbirds tumble in fynbos redolent of herbs and honey and where rocky outcrops at the very edge of Africa crash into the ocean, a little farm nestles in the verdant hills. In true fairy-tale style, through an unexpected legacy from a little-known aunt, author Gillian Rattray and her husband Peter were able to purchase this farm and so to embark on their long-cherished dream of retirement in the country. A Cape Country Chronicle is an evocative journal of life at Fairview Farm: industrious days, rich in incident and bustling with activity; the sustained invasion by builders and guests; and the planting of a miniature Sissinghurst - all are recorded with humour and enlivened by the strokes of a gentle and affectionate pen. Numerous watercolours illuminate the text. With sure, vivid brushwork Gillian Rattray captures the essence of the rich bird and insect life and pays tribute to the floral kingdom of the south-eastern Cape." .‎

‎vervolging van militairrechtelijke delicten tijdens wereldoorlog I : de werking van het Belgisch krijgsgerecht‎

‎, VUBPRESS, 2011 Paperback, 434 pagina's, NL, 240 x 170 x 30 mm, in zeer goede staat, ***met opdracht en gesigneerd door de auteur aan Herman van Goethem, rector van de Universiteit van Antwerpen***. ISBN 9789054878803.‎

‎Deze publicatie is de eerste diepgaande studie van het Belgisch militair gerecht tijdens Wereldoorlog I. De werking van het krijgsgerecht wordt gedetailleerd beschreven en geëvalueerd aan de hand van een omvangrijk onderzoek van nooit eerder bestudeerde archiefdocumenten van het auditoraat-generaal en van het krijgshof, waaronder meer dan 300 omzendbrieven van de auditeur-generaal, ongeveer 5500 arresten en bijna 1000 dossiers van het krijgshof. De strafrechtelijke procedure, van onderzoek tot strafuitvoering, wordt volledig uiteengezet aan de hand van wetgeving, rechtspraak, rechtsleer, omzendbrieven en een groot aantal publicaties. De praktijk van het krijgsgerecht en de betekenis ervan voor de soldaten worden genuanceerd weergegeven en geanalyseerd via een aantal centrale vragen, die o.m. de taalkwestie en de sociale verhoudingen in het leger en in het krijgsgerecht aansnijden, maar ook de impact van de oorlogsontwikkelingen op de rechtspraktijk, de rol van de militaire overheden, de verhouding krijgshof-krijgsraden enz. Dit werk is een verhelderende studie voor al wie inzicht wil hebben in de vervolging van de militairrechtelijke delicten tijdens Wereldoorlog I en verschijnt nu in een tweede, herziene editie. Prof. Dr. Stanislas Horvat is hoofd van de leerstoel Rechten van de Koninklijke Militaire School, advocaat te Brussel en medewerker rechtsgeschiedenis aan de faculteit Recht en Criminologie van de Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

‎In southeast Sicily, near the town of Noto, Villa Elena?a former monastery restored by Jacques Garcia?is a tranquil oasis among fragrant orchards. Reflecting the interior designer?s passion for ancient civilizations, the domain blends classical, Arabian, and Norman influences with elements borrowed from the Renaissance and the baroque, mirroring Sicilian history. With views stretching to the sea and to Syracuse, the villa is surrounded by shady terraces and lush gardens. This home ? evocative of Lampedusa?s The Leopard ? has been restored to its former glory through magnificent salons decked with marble, stucco work, majolica tiles, silk, and velvet, revealed here for the first time. Bruno Ehrs?s photographs, taken throughout each season of the year, masterfully capture the decadent splendor and aristocratic lifestyle of this particularly sumptuous locale in Sicily.‎

‎Alain Arais-Misson : From the Cutting-Floor of the Public Poem‎

‎Ghent, Belgium, MER Paper Kunsthalle, 2013 Paperback, 80 pages, ENG, 230 x 160 x 10 mm, New condition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9789490693152.‎

‎In the mid-sixties, a young Belgian-American experimental/visual poet, Alain Arias-Misson, returned to his birthplace Brussels, which his family had fled during World War II for New York. Back in Brussels the poet initiated his well-known "public poems", which predate the genre performance and are all up to today different from one another and never repeated. For Arias-Misson, the street is the page upon which the poem can be drawn. The city can be construed as a text. It is a focal point of socio-political signs, and its syntax and semantics can be made "legible" by introducing highly graphic, linguistic and non-linguistic clues in the street. Arias-Misson's public poems are always specific to the urban setting, and to the political moment in which they were created. His poems are sometimes presented in dreamlike sequences, often provoking "public disorder" in cities throughout Europe as well as forays into New York and Los Angeles.‎

‎Feast in the House of Simon : Veronese : History and Restoration of a Masterpiece‎

‎Painted for the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria dei Servi in 1570-3, The Feast in the House of Simon was presented to Louis XIV by the Most Serene Republic of Venice in 1664, as a token of friendship between the two states. But it was not until 1730, during the reign of Louis XV, that this great masterpiece was to find a setting worthy of it in the Salon d'Hercule at Versailles, for which Francois Le Moyne painted a ceiling decoration a l'italienne, unique in France, using a light, luminous and sensual palette in an explicit tribute to Venetian painting.Despite a major restoration in 1948 and two later superficial cleanings, the painting was obscured, notably by thick varnishes, and required a radical intervention. This process, started in 1994 and finished this year, was carried out by the Service de restauration des musees de France with the scientific assistance of the Laboratoire de recherche. Seventeen experts have contributed essays documenting the "resurrection" of this masterpiece by Veronese.‎

‎This challenging treatise on African elephants and the ivory trade remains an important and groundbreaking work in its field. Foremost authority on the world's ivory trade, a leading expert on the management of elephants, a former game warden, farmer and hunter, Ian Parker draws on 25 years of field experience in Africa to illuminate the key issues behind conservation today. His conclusions are startling. The traditional villains -- the poachers and the ivory traders -- are not as responsible for the plight of elephants in many African countries as is generally alleged. The fault lies much more with the governments of those countries where game laws are outdated and corruption is commonplace, and with the international conservation bodies which, inept and insufficient as they often are, have much to answer for, no matter how good the cause they are serving. Ian Parker's message is both carefully considered and deeply disturbing. If there is an ivory crisis (and even the pessimists admit that there are over a million elephants in Africa today), it is the activities of the conservationists themselves which constitute the main danger to the survival of the African elephant.‎

‎In the annals of Native American history, there have been some formidable women who fought fearlessly in battle, served as committed leaders, undertook dangerous journeys and saved lives. Here are five of the most powerful and influential Native American women of all time: Nanye-hi (Nancy Ward): Beloved Woman of the Cherokee Nanye-hi was born into the Cherokee Wolf clan circa 1738. In 1755, she stood by her husband during a fight against the Creeks, chewing the lead for bullets in order to provide his ammunition with deadly ridges. When her husband was fatally shot, Nanye-hi grabbed a rifle, rallied her fellow fighters and entered the battle herself. With her on their side, the Cherokee won the day. These actions led to Nanye-hi being named Ghighau (Beloved Woman) of the Cherokee, a powerful position whose duties included leading the Women?s Council and sitting on the Council of Chiefs. Nanye-hi also took part in treaty talks (to the surprise of male colonists when they were on the other side of the bargaining table).‎
