Reisverhaal Where Hornbills Fly | Erik Jensen
Reisverhaal Where Hornbills Fly | Erik Jensen
Once headhunters under the rule of White Rajahs and briefly colonised before independence within Malaysia, the Iban Dayaks of Borneo are one of the world's most extraordinary indigenous tribes, possessing ancient traditions and a unique way of life. As a young man Erik Jensen settled in Sarawak where he lived with the Iban for seven years, learning their language and the varied rites and practices of their lives. He was also witness to the great and often shattering changes they faced then and continue to face today. The plentiful harvests, abundant game and rivers teeming with fish of their remembered past have long since disappeared - destroyed by restrictions on settlement and, ironically, by forest conservation. The Iban's animist beliefs are slowly being replaced by the imported religions of Christianity and Islam and their traditional ways by modern schooling and medicine. In this compelling and beautifully-wrought memoir, Erik Jensen reveals the challenges facing the Iban as th…

Fotoboek Bali - the legendary isle | Tuttle Publishing
Fotoboek Bali - the legendary isle | Tuttle Publishing
fotoboek van Bali, zachte kaft. This stunning Bali travel pictorial features stunning photography that highlights the breathtaking landscapes of Bali and the diverse customs and traditions of the Balinese people. The culture of Bali is a colorful world of ceremony, ritual, Balinese dance, and drama. Bali: The Legendary Isle explores what you will find rooted in Balinese culture, when you travel to Bali.

Fotoboek Lost in Iceland | Mal og Menning
Fotoboek Lost in Iceland | Mal og Menning
Eén van IJsland's meest gerenomeerde fotografen heeft een schitterend fotoboek samengesteld van dit magische land. Mooie uitvoering, harde kaft. Stunning colour photographs of the barren beauty of the Icelandic landscape. The sounds evoked by Sigurgeir Sigurjonsson's photographs are the eternal sounds of nature - the sighing of the wind, the lapping of waves, the hissing of steam and the unchanging roar of a waterfall. In the elemental world of these pictures, man is largely absent. The brief initimate glimpses we are given of human life - a farmhouse kitchen, a man fishing, a family attending the lambing - only serve to underline the overwhelming emptiness of the Icelandic landscape. It is these very qualities of peace, quiet and solitude that many visitors are seeking when they come to iceland - one of the last places in Europe where you can lose yourself in a wilderness seemingly untouched by man. Lost in Iceland is an astounding book presenting pictures of superb quality. Iceland …

The Hobbit Trilogy Statue Smaug the Magnificent 20 cm
The Hobbit Trilogy Statue Smaug the Magnificent 20 cm
Bred in ages past to be weapons in the war for Middle-earth, the Great Worms were huge, serpentine creatures, wrapped in scaly hides and possessed of wicked intelligence. Inside combined the cunning of thinking beings and the savagery of wild beasts.Long horns, bladed claws and wicked maws of countless teeth they had. The sharp, slitted eyes of the Dragons were ever-watchful, their sense of smell keen, and their long bodies grew to a size unrivalled by any other creatures to walk upon the earth. Some were winged, able to take to the skies and travel vast distances like the wind. Others burned with fiery wrath inside, spewing conflagration and death from their outstretched jaws at will. And in some such abilities were paired to terrifying effect...By the later years of the Third Age only a few remained, mostly sequestered in the scorched lands of the Withered Heath, far to the north and pinned between the spurred arms of the Grey Mountains. Great was their hunger and a lust for violence…

Reisgids Monocle Lisbon | Gestalten Verlag
Reisgids Monocle Lisbon | Gestalten Verlag
The Portuguese capital is a collage of cultural influences and visual imagery. Allow us to guide you through this eminently liveable and fast-changing city.   Like the seven sun-dappled hills that overlook the sparkling Rio Tejo, Lisbon has had its ups and downs. Nevertheless, the plucky city has always bounced back and today it's positively thriving: well-travelled residents and foreign talent are opening smart businesses behind every other crumbling, azulejo-covered façade.   Most visitors spend their time in the historic old town but we're going to take you further afield. We've combed the cobbled streets to find the best bacalhau, the creamiest pastéis de nata and the sweetest ginjinha. We've visited museums dedicated to everything ;from horse-drawn carriages to cutting-edge technology and discovered daringly modern architecture among red-tiled townhouses and baroque churches. Our favourite hotels range from a refurbished 15th-century palácio to a glossy guesthouse, while the reta…

Reisverhaal - Natuurgids A Vulture Landscape | Ian Parsons
Reisverhaal - Natuurgids A Vulture Landscape | Ian Parsons
A Vulture Landscape is more than just a book about vultures, in the same way that these majestic flyers are more than just birds. Vultures are a crucial part of many of the world's ecosystems, and without these specialist environmental cleansers the ecosystems wouldn't work properly. A calendar year in the lives of these gargantuan raptors is explored as they live, breed, feed and fly with effortless ease across the skies of the vulture landscape that is Extremadura in central Spain.There are four species of vulture in Europe, and a fifth that is becoming more of a regular visitor as its own global population plummets. The serious conservation issues faced on a day-to-day basis by these species, and their relatives spread across the globe, are explored, issues that in many cases threaten their very survival. However, this book is a celebration of the vulture and the landscape in which it reigns. Using the latest science, his keen eye and his passion for the birds themselves, the autho…

Productomschrijving

In zijn baanbrekende boek Before They Pass Away beschrijft Jimmy Nelson de gebruiken en tradities van de inheemse gemeenschappen die erin zijn geslaagd hun erfgoed te behouden in onze steeds meer geglobaliseerde wereld. Zoals bij alle relaties in het leven is vertrouwen de sleutel tot een diepe connectie met iemand. Hetzelfde geldt voor de band tussen een kunstenaar en zijn of haar onderwerp.   De meeste keren dat ik voor het eerst een gemeenschap bezocht, werd ik unaniem afgewezen. Ze waren begrijpelijkerwijs terughoudend en bang voor deze vreemdeling en ik werd vaak met scepsis over mijn bedoelingen ontvangen. Het werd gebruikelijk dat ik nooit een gemeenschap betrad met een camera in zicht, en het was normaal om tot twee weken of langer te wachten voordat de eerste foto werd genomen. Waar ik ook ging, ik benaderde en toonde altijd een gevoel van enorm respect. Ik positioneerde mezelf opzettelijk fysiek lager dan de mensen die ik fotografeerde, en overlaadde iedereen met oprechte complimenten. Toen de barrière van angst eenmaal was overbrugd en er een wederzijdse taal van ontzag was ontwikkeld, ging er een deur van wederzijdse empathie en begrip open. Zodra de verbindingen waren gemaakt, werden mijn enthousiasme en passie voor esthetische perfectie aanstekelijk.   In his landmark project Before They Pass Away, Jimmy Nelson captures the lives and traditions of the last surviving tribes who have managed to preserve their traditional ways and customs within our increasingly globalized world. The British photographer’s epic portraits present these dignified inheritors of noble and age-old traditions in a proud spirit and in all their glory—a unique visual experience. This exquisitely photographed showcase for world tribal culture is not only a joy to look at, but also an important historical record. This book reveals the wide variety of human experiences and cultural expressions across the ages— and we’re delighted to have it among our fall offerings.   This historic volume showcases tribal cultures around the world. With globalization, these societies are to be prized for their distinctive lifestyles, art and traditions. They live in close harmony with nature, now a rarity in our modern era. Jimmy Nelson not only presents us with stunning images of customs and artifacts, but also offers insightful portraits of people who are the guardians of a culture that they—and we—hope will be passed on to future generations in all its glory. Nelson’s large-plate field camera captures every intricate detail and fi ne nuance for posterity. What’s more, this splendid pageantry is set against a vivid backdrop of some of the world’s most pristine landscapes.   Nu weer leverbaar!
