States of emergency
architecture, urbanism, and the First World War
More than one hundred years after the conclusion of the First World War, the edited collection States of Emergency. Architecture, Urbanism, and the First World War reassesses what that cataclysmic global conflict meant for architecture and urbanism from a human, social, economic, and cultural perspective. Chapters probe how underdevelopment and economic collapse manifested spatially, how military technologies were repurposed by civilians, and how cultures of education, care, and memory emerged from...

Who owns Africa?
neocolonialism, investment, and the new scramble
The independence of African countries from their European colonizers in the late 1950s and 1960s marked a shift in the continent's political leadership. Nevertheless, the economies of African nations remained tied to those of their former colonies, raising questions of resource control and the sovereignty of these nation-states. Who Owns Africa? addresses the role of foreign actors in Africa and their competing interests in exploiting the resources of Africa and its people. An interdisciplinary team...

Ambrogio Spinola between Genoa, Flanders, and Spain
Many of the most significant studies devoted to Ambrogio Spinola have focused on one particular aspect of his life: his successful military career. This volume, through its interdisciplinary and cultural approach, breaks open this all too narrow perspective and expands our understanding of Spinola and his world. As a great military strategist and Catholic knight, entrepreneur in the international finance market, courtier, and diplomat, Spinola was certainly a Genoese, but he was also a member of...

Emerson Vermaat Soviet manipulation of 'religious circles', 1975-1986
The term "religious circles" was coined by the World Peace Council (WPC), an organization that during the Cold War was linked to the propaganda apparatus of the Atheist Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). In declassified reports Western intelligence services described the WPC as a Communist Party front organization. The communists of the former Soviet Union are usually referred to as "the Soviets." The Moscow-oriented communists also availed themselves of the Christian Peace Conference (CPC),...

Bert Thurlings Bizarre legends, the CO2-syndrome, the mysteries of Ethiopia and the enigmatic king Salomon
weird mysteries, curious interpretations
The world is full of misunderstood mysteries. As tourists, we visit an ancient ruin, trying to imagine how it once was but not seeing the advanced technology that was used. Or we walk past some dusty pots in a museum but don't realize how they were made. We walk on and get on with the business of the day. Those stones? Surely they were just cut out of a rock, doesn't everyone know that? Those pots? You just bake them in an oven, right? Everyone knows that too, don't they? But then you scratch your...

Bert Thurlings Giants, wandering planets and lost knowledge
mysterious high-tech of the pharaohs, the demise of the giants and the prehistoric transatlantic contacts
Science is based on facts, that is common knowledge. But what if those facts contradict each other, what is true then? Does what "most scientists" think apply then? Rocks from the moon, collected with the Apollo flights, have an age of +/- 4.6 billion years. But one of them deviates seriously: 5.5 billion years old or even more. So what is the real age? Because people don't know, that one deviation is further ignored; after all, the majority points to 4.6 billion years anyway. But science is not...

Perry Pierik The Red Army stumbles
Russian campaign 1941
The start of operation 'Barbarossa' was the beginning of one of the most dramatic campaigns in World History. Two titans clashed. The summer of 1941 was catastrophic to the Red Army. However, they were able to keep their position. This blood drenched marvel is what this book is about, which shows that heroism and terror go hand in hand when it comes to stopping German attackers at the gates of Moscow.

Andrew Shortland | Patrick Degryse When art isn't real
the world's most controversial objects under investigation
The art world is a multi-billion-dollar industry which captures world headlines on a regular basis, for both good and bad reasons. This book deals with one of the most-discussed areas of controversy: high-profile objects that have experts arguing about their veracity. Some may have been looted, others may be fakes, some may be heavily restored or misattributed. Often, in these cases, analytical science is called on to settle a dispute. The authors of this book have decades of experience in this field,...

Jeannick Vangansbeke Tsaar Alexander I
De Belgische historicus Pirenne was secretaris van Leopold III, koning van België, en net als zijn baas rekende hij, voor de naoorlogse vrede, meer op de Verenigde Naties dan op de NAVO. Zo zag hij in tsaar Alexanders Heilige Alliantie een voorloper van de Volkenbond en de VN. Een morele orde, nadat decennia geweld de basis van de machtsverhoudingen was geweest, de analogie van Alexander I Romanov met Woodrow Wilson, lag voor de medewerker van Leopold III erg voor de hand! De publieke opinie was...
