Fietskaart 01 Cycling guides Cornwall | Goldeneye
Our maps are double-sided, printed on an A2 sheet with a concertina fold. This allows for easy folding and folding, and an ease of access to the mapping. The material is rain and tear-resistant. Our early maps were designed at the scale of 2 miles to 1 inch/1:126,720. The later designs along with digitalisation are 1: 100,000. We were encouraged by the Cycle Touring Club to convert our cartography toward the cycle market (to replace the out-of-print Bartholomew series). As time and the series progressed we have added more data: The National Cycle Network routes, Regional Routes, and Traffic-Free Family Routes, as and when they are developed. These routes are in addition to the Circular Routes Goldeneye Commissioned at the outset of our publishing schedule. We are also adding to new editions; bike shops, cycle hire, and tea rooms, along with the tourist attractions already featured. Our plan is to make available digital versions for cell phones and tablets and to update, on an annual b…

The Sleep of Reason (Paperback)
The Sleep of Reason (Paperback)
This book offers an original and thought-provoking exploration of a diverse range of contemporary artistic practices, set within a broader cultural context. It argues that art can teach us about the human condition and our way of coinhabiting the planet, in a unique interplay between reason and imagination, creation and contemplation, poetry and inquiry. While acknowledging that art may not have the power to save the world, the author contends that it offers profound insights into our existence and that of others, and serves as a poignant reminder of the persistent challenges that linger like indomitable monsters. Through a combination of essays, criticism, and conversations, Pieter Vermeulen deftly examines the meaning of art in times of crisis, engaging in thoughtful dialogue with a variety of makers and thinkers, with a particular focus on Belgium's vibrant artistic scene. Key themes include the artistic fascination with time capsules, art in outer space, the aesthetics of

Floris Van Look. De goede richting (Paperback)
Floris Van Look. De goede richting (Paperback)
De Goede Richting (The Good Direction) is the first-ever monograph on Belgian artist Floris van Look (b. 1990), highlighting a body of work that blends figurative painting with humor, imagination, and profound reflections on the world around us. Known for his thickly layered oil and putty paintings, which verge on sculpture, Van Look offers a tactile, bodily experience that transcends traditional painting. Inspired by everyday encounters, literature, and mythology, he creates surreal worlds where the familiar is reimagined through a lens of fantasy, blending the ordinary with the extraordinary. This monograph is both an exploration of Van Look's artistic journey and a work of art in itself. With contributions from Herman Brusselmans and Lauren Wiggers, and a look into the artist's creative process through sketchbooks and preparatory works, it provides a deeper understanding of his techniques, inspirations, and the evolving nature of his practice. De Goede Richting is a testament to an

Doctor Ferdinand Peeters (Paperback)
Doctor Ferdinand Peeters (Paperback)
The story of doctor Ferdinand Peeters (1918-1998) and his role in the development of the pill has held Belgium in thrall for almost a decade. It is time to introduce the real father of the contraceptive pill to the rest of the world. After years of research, Belgian journalist Karl van den Broeck concluded that not the American Gregory Pincus was the inventor of the pill. His prototype had so many adverse effects that it wasn't a viable option in the long term. It was the Belgian doctor Ferdinand Peeters who, in 1959-1960, created the first clinically applicable contraceptive pill: Anovlar. It was this pill that set the standard for all future pills to follow. Ferdinand - Nand - Peeters was a devout Catholic and during an audience with pope John XXIII, he urged that the church should sanction the use of the Pill. But when Paul VI decided in 1968 that birth control other than the practice of periodic abstinence would remain forbidden, doctor Peeters didn't breathe a word about his role

Productomschrijving

A profound approach to opera uncovers a gold mine of possibilities; opera is fuelled with the energy of the future. And while the search for gold will always go on, the other 'mines' - concealed in the operatic production process - must be tracked down and defused. Risk-taking is integral to the operatic process; without risks, an exciting policy is unthinkable.' It was with these thrilling and significant metaphors that, in 1988, Pierre Audi laid out his initial plans as artistic director of Dutch National Opera. It is now thirty years later, and the time has come to consider the gold mine that Pierre Audi discovered for us. Hence this publication, which contains the essence of Audi's ideas concerning music theatre, opera, and art in general. In it we can trace the changes and the development of his artistic vision over the last decades; through it we can see that opera is fuelled with the energy of the future. The book is written in both Dutch and English.
