Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster
Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster
Een fascinerend boekwerk met de grootste mythes, leugens en blunders die ooit op kaart zijn verschenen. In een luxe hardcover uitgave met mooie stofomslag. The Phantom Atlas is an atlas of the world not as it ever existed, but as it was thought to be. These marvellous and mysterious phantoms - non-existent islands, invented mountain ranges, mythical civilisations and other fictitious geography - were all at various times presented as facts on maps and atlases. This book is a collection of striking antique maps that display the most erroneous cartography, with each illustration accompanied by the story behind it. Exploration, map-making and mythology are all brought together to create a colourful tapestry of monsters, heroes and volcanoes; swindlers, mirages and murderers. Sometimes the stories are almost impossible to believe, and remarkably, some of the errors were still on display in maps published in the 21st century. Throughout much of the 19th century more than 40 different mapma…

Fashion for God (Paperback)
Fashion for God (Paperback)
Priest's vestments have long been things to which the church devoted a great deal of attention and money. They were - and many still are - stunningly beautiful items. When the continued existence of the Catholic church came under threat during the time of the Dutch Republic, and clandestine Catholic churches could not be recognisable as such from the street, the church would compensate on the inside for what could not be shown on the outside. In the seventeenth century embroidered vestments became tokens of resistance in gold, silver and silk. They also reflected the agendas of the women who made them. Behind closed doors, they did everything in their power to uphold their Catholic faith. In the eighteenth century, pious wealthy women would donate their ballgowns in colourful French, English, Chinese and Dutch floral fabrics to the church to be turned into magnificent, unique church vestments. And so it was that a priest might come to be standing at the altar wearing a pink robe with a

Leadership in the digital word (Paperback)
Leadership in the digital word (Paperback)
Digital technology is not only rapidly changing the world in which we live, it is also making it increasingly complex. In Leadership in the Digital World Ralf Knegtmans and Ylva Poelman explore the consequences of digitisation for organisations and the traits this requires in leaders. When they started working on the book, their perspectives were diametrically opposed. This makes their book a compelling search for answers that lie somewhere in the middle. As Managing Partner of a leading executive search firm, Knegtmans questions whether top business leaders are prepared for the huge impact digital technology will have on business and society. As an independent innovation consultant, Poelman adopts a different approach: this is not the first time humanity has had to adapt to major change. Those who were astute enough could have prepared for the digital revolution well in advance. Leadership in a Digital Age is a thorough quest into challenges all businesses will be facing, such as:

Productomschrijving

More than ever, justice and its administration is that which holds our society together. But justice is not merely what is contained in rules and regulations, as Henk Teunis shows in his book on disputes and their settlements in eleventh-century Anjou. By studying a large number of records and their colourful narratives with the help of anthropological concepts Teunis succeeds in reconstructing the basic notion of justice of the period. Before Montesquieu (1748) formulated the division into legislative, executive and judicial branches, people in the eleventh century had an unquestioned procedure for justice of their own, one that served as a bedrock or foundation. Putting the procedure into practice was a complicated affair, as it still is today. It had to be ingrained in the mindset of both the clergy and lay persons - it had to be taken for granted.
