The comprehensive guide to modern Georgia - a cultural-historical journey to one of the world's most beautiful countries.

The Operations of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies and the Bay of Bengal (Hardback)

Between 1966 and 1980, the War History Office of the National Defense College of Japan (now the Center for Military History of the National Institute for Defense Studies) published the 102-volume Senshi Sōsho (War History Series). These volumes give a detailed account of the operations of the Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War. The present volume, The Operations of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies and the Bay of Bengal, volume 26 of the series, describes the Japanese Navy's role in the campaign to gain control over the Indonesian archipelago - at that time the largest transoceanic landing operation in the military history of the world. It includes, among others, the first complete Japanese analysis of the Battle of the Java Sea, a much-debated battle that ended disastrously for the Allies and opened the way to Java for the Japanese. Willem Remmelink was the executive director of the Japan-Netherlands Institute in Tokyo for more than

Fotoboek Between The Sea & The Sky | Jimmy Nelson

Ver weg en op moeilijk te bereiken plekken. Dat is waar Jimmy Nelson zich meestal bevindt. De kunstenaar reist non-stop de wereld af en legt contact met inheemse volkeren die hij vastlegt in boeken als Before They Pass Away en Homage to Humanity. Maar in het voorjaar van 2020 was reizen plots onmogelijk. In plaats van het vliegtuig pakte Nelson de fiets en reed hij langs vissersdorpen, polderlandschappen en vestingstadjes. Hij ontdekte de traditionele Nederlandse dracht en realiseerde zich dat die eigenlijk net zo bijzonder is als de culturele uitingen van de Papoea’s of Maasai. Jimmy Nelson greep de pandemie aan om Nederland in beeld te brengen zoals dat niet eerder gedaan is. In zijn nieuwe boek Between the Sea and the Sky portretteert hij twintig gemeenschappen in dracht en de omgeving die hen gevormd heeft – van het Zeeuwse Axel tot het Friese Hindeloopen en van Katwijk tot Rijssen. Het boek toont een deel van de Nederlandse identiteit die bijna verdwenen en vergeten is. Als onder…

Fietsgids Bikeline Iron Curtain Trail From Hof to Szeged | Esterbauer

Praktische fietsgids met detailkaarten, ingetekende route, informatie over overnachten en fietsenmakers, zwaarte en hoogteprofiel. In spiraalbinding, Engelstalig 1760km van Hof naar Szeged The Iron Curtain divided the continent into East and West and extended from the Barents Sea through Europe to the Black Sea - a distance of 10,000 kilometres. Until the peaceful revolutions in Eastern Europe, it was the physical and ideological border between two mutually hostile blocs. It did not just divide many neighbouring states, but also divided Germany into East and West. Few things remain of the former death strip today. The few relics that are still there remind us of our past but no longer separate us. Therefore, it is imperative to make the memories visible! We know that there is little in the way of shared memories between the West and the East, that the experiences of Europeans east and west of the border differ, not least because their perspectives were often shaped completely differ…

Reisgids The Lochs of Scotland - Schotland | Conway

There are at least 31,460 freshwater lochs in Scotland, and hundreds of sea lochs. This stunning book showcases more than 50 of the most popular, interesting and beautiful, and is a perfect guide for anyone visiting or exploring Scotland, or wanting to find out about these iconic and breathtaking locations, sometimes sitting by spectacular coast and other times nestled in between towering mountains.

This book is abs…

The fifth part of the Danube Bike Trail begins in Belgrade and ends in Romania on the Black Sea. With a total length of 2,845 kilometres, the Danube is Europe’s second longest river (after the Volga with 3,534 kilometres), and the only one on which kilometres are counted in reverse direction, starting with kilometer zero at the mouth and ending upstream at the source. The total length of Part 5 of the Danube Bicycle Trail is about 1,400 kilometres. This does not include various side trips and alternative routes. The Danube Bike Trail is part of the Eurovelo-Route 6 and to a great extent identical. This last part of the Danube Bike Trail mostly follows paved main roads and secondary roads, which you share with a variety of other traffic. It is not unusual in some parts of Bulgaria and Romania that you encounter more horse or mule carts, pedestrians or roaming sheep or geese than motorized traffic. In and around the larger cities, however, you can expect heavy traffic and you should…

Fotoboek Silence of the Tides - Waddengebied | Lannoo

Silence of the Tides is een boek over de gelijknamige poëtische film van regisseur Pieter-Rim de Kroon waarin de continue 'ademhaling' van het Waddengebied centraal staat. Een film over de kwetsbare relatie tussen mens en natuur. Over getijden, cycli en contrasten. Tegen een decor van mist, wind, water, het constant veranderend licht en de altijd aanwezige horizon. Dit boek laat zich als een film bekijken en neemt je mee naar de magische wereld van het internationale Waddengebied dat zich uitstrekt over Nederland, Duitsland en Denemarken. Het unieke natuurgebied is een van de laatst overgebleven grootschalige, bij eb droogvallende, ecosystemen en prijkt sinds juni 2009 op de werelderfgoedlijst van Unesco. De lengte van de film is 102 minuten. Dat betekent dat er in de film in totaal 146.880 beeldjes (frames) zitten. De hogeresolutieframes in het boek zijn door regisseur De Kroon persoonlijk geselecteerd waarmee het begrip director's cut er een bijzondere dimensie bij krijgt. - Hig…
