Fotoboek World War II Battlefields - 2e Wereldoorlog | Amber Books

Featuring battlefield sites divided by wartime theater, World War II Battlefields allows the reader to explore well-known battle locations today and compare them to images captured during the height of the conflict. Examine the huge concrete bunker at Fort Eben Emael, Belgium, captured by German glider troops in May 1940 and still intact today. See the beaches at Tarawa atoll, a scene of fierce fighting between the US Marines and the Japanese defenders in 1943, or the streets of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, the center of a bloody battle between the II SS Panzer Korps and the Red Army. Explore the Norman village of Villers-Bocage, where a few German Tiger tanks halted the advance of the British 7th Armoured Division a week after the D-Day landings. Visit the twin medieval towers of the bridge at Remagen on the Rhine river, made famous in photos and movies, or the dozens of Japanese ships sunk in Truk Lagoon following comprehensive American air attacks, and today a popular dive site.…

Fotoboek Rome | Amber Books

Think of Rome and you quickly picture so many treasures from the ancient world: the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, the Forum. At its height in the 2nd century CE, the Roman Empire, reaching out from its heart in the city of Rome itself, was the most extensive political and social structure in western civilization. Still today, almost 2000 years later, we marvel at how sophisticated and grand Roman society was – and how much of ancient Rome has survived for us to see in the modern Italian metropolis. From public baths to catacombs, from the Appian Way to small frescoes and sculptures, from temples to private houses to aqueducts, Visual Explorer Guide: Ancient Rome shows the reader both the world famous and lesser known sites in the city. What emerges is both a picture of the grandeur of Antiquity, but also the last days of pagan worships, as by Rome’s final days temples were being converted into churches. Small enough to pack in your pocket, Ancient Rome is a fascinatin…

Fotoboek Egypt | Amber Books

Four thousand years before the birth of Christ, ancient Egypt was the cradle of modern civilization. Pharaohs built great cities on the fertile banks of the River Nile, and employed thousands of labourers to create lavish tombs and temples such as Thebes and the pyramids of the Giza plateau. Today the exceptional beauty and scale of the antiquities is legendary, drawing millions of visitors to Egypt’s monuments each year. But the nation is much more than even that. From the beaches on the Red Sea to the Nile, from the markets in Cairo and Alexandria to the country’s Roman, Coptic and Sassanid history, and Arab and Ottoman culture, Egypt is spectacular. Ranging from desert monasteries to the trade on the Suez Canal, from mausoleums hidden for centuries to medieval souks to urban life today, Egypt takes the reader from the mountains to the sea, from the desert to the city, from the ancient to the modern. Featuring 200 colour photographs and captions explaining the fascinating stories be…

Historische Atlas De Tweede Wereldoorlog in 100 kaarten | Tree Books

De Eerste Wereldoorlog kenmerkte zich door een enorme groei in het gebruik en de productie van militaire kaarten. Maar in de Tweede Wereldoorlog gingen de strijdende partijen nog een stap verder: kaarten, luchtfoto’s, en het systematisch vastleggen en verwerken van geografische en topografische gegevens speelden een rol van ongekende omvang. Zoals Jeremy Black – een van de meest vooraanstaande militaire en cartografische historici ter wereld – overtuigend aantoont in dit schitterende fullcolourboek, is het onmogelijk om de gebeurtenissen en uitkomsten van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te begrijpen zonder diepgaande kennis van het gebruik van kaarten. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden kaarten zelfs een wapen. In De Tweede Wereldoorlog in 100 kaarten schetst Jeremy Black hoe militaire cartografie zich ontwikkelde van het simpelweg vastleggen van feiten tot een beslissende factor op wereldschaal. Aan de hand van honderd sleutelkaarten uit de ongeëvenaarde collectie van de British Library en ande…
