‎Summary The agrarian crisis of 1315-17, known to history as the Great Famine, was one of the most devastating environmental crises to hit Europe within the last two millennia. The almost biblical flooding of 1314-16 brought about a series of crop failures, triggering a widespread agricultural crisis that unfolded into a catastrophic famine, which hit both human and animal populations with unprecedented force. The impact of this crisis, and the major long-term environmental consequences that followed, thus mark a truly watershed moment in European history. This volume provides an in-depth study of the Great Famine as it affected the British Isles, but through this focused approach, it also offers new insights into the late-medieval North European economy and society at a time of political, socio-economic, and biological shocks and crises. Close analysis of contemporary archival sources reveals that the Great Famine was a highly complex phenomenon made by both Nature and man; and this is reflected in a highly interdisciplinary approach that studies climate, economy, demography, and health, as well as the way in which human behaviour further exacerbated the impact of famine.

‎Renegade photographer Philip Volkers travels the world with his camera, achieving total immersion in both modern and ancient festivals. His passion is the documentation of spiritual, hedonistic gatherings, and exploring the meaning behind them with his work. Dust to Dawn documents the visual adventures of Volkers at Nevada s notorious festival, Burning Man.Every year 75,000 people descend on a blisteringly hot alkaline lake bed in Nevada, to let loose and make art. Burning Man is a human gathering of colossal proportions. What started as an anarchist San Francisco beach party, where revellers would 'burn the man', has become a highly influential festival and a haven for many enquiring minds. Philip Volkers began documenting Burning Man in 2006. In Dust to Dawn , we join him on his photographic adventures in this visual playground. Epic vistas and stunning natural light contrast playfully with dystopian installations. Philip s beguiling portraits of unearthly characters toy with readers preconceptions, while his landscapes honour the festival s remarkable natural setting.‎

‎The general circulation of the atmosphere: a numerical experiment. [Extracted from: Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society Vol. 82 No. 352, April 1956]. - [THE FIRST SUCCESFUL CLIMATE MODEL]‎

‎(London, Royal Meteorological Society, 1956). 8vo. Extracted and with a nice marbled paper-backstrip (kind of representing the elements). Damp-staining to lower part of leaves. Pp. 123-164. Illustrated. ‎

‎First printing of Phillips' seminal paper, in which he presents for the first time his mathematical model that could realistically depict monthly and seasonal patterns in the troposphere. This became became the first successful general circulation model of climate (GCM). ""Numerical models (General Circulation Models or GCMs), representing physical processes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and land surface, are the most advanced tools currently available for simulating the response of the global climate system to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. While simpler models have also been used to provide globally - or regionally-averaged estimates of the climate response, only GCMs, possibly in conjunction with nested regional models, have the potential to provide geographically and physically consistent estimates of regional climate change which are required in impact analysis...GCMs depict the climate using a three dimensional grid over the globe, typically having a horizontal resolution of between 250 and 600 km, 10 to 20 vertical layers in the atmosphere and sometimes as many as 30 layers in the oceans."" (IPCC - International Panel on Climate Change). In 1956, Norman Phillips developed a mathematical model that could realistically depict monthly and seasonal patterns in the troposphere, thus revolutionizing weather and climate change predition. It became the first successful climate model. Following Phillips' work, several groups began working to create GCMs that are now essential to predict climate change. ""Steady improvements to short-range NWP accrued during the early 1950s, in large part due to more realistic models that accounted for energy conversion in extratropical cyclones. Encouraged by the success of these forecasts, IAS team member Norman Phillips began to contemplate longer-range prediction using the IAS computer. His work took the form of a numerical simulation of the atmosphere's general circu lation for a period of 1 month. The work was completed in 1955 and Phillips communicated the results to von Neumann, who immediately recognized their significance. Von Neumann hastily arranged a conference in October 1955, Application of Numerical Integration Techniques to the Problem of the General Circulation, held at Princeton University. In his opening statement at the conference, von Neumann said I should like to make a few general remarks concerning the problem of forecasting climate fluctuations and the various aspects of the general circulation that cause such fluctuations. Specifically, I wish to point out that the hydro-dynamical and computational efforts which have been made in connection with the problem of short-range forecasting serve as a natural introduction to an effort in this direction . . . With this philosophy in mind, we held our first meeting nine years ago at the Institute for Advanced Study to discuss the problem of short-range weather prediction. Since that time, a great deal of progress has been made in the subject, and we feel that we are now prepared to enter into the problem of forecasting the longer period fluctuations of the general circulation. (von Neumann 1955, 9-10) Following this conference, which highlighted his numerical experiment, Phillips entered the research into competition for the first Napier Shaw Memorial Prize, a prize honoring England's venerated leader of meteorology, Sir Napier Shaw (1854-1945), on the occasion of the centenary of his birth (the competition was announced in April 1954). The subject for the first competition was ""the energetics of the atmosphere."" On 20 June 1956, ""the adjudicators recommended that the prize be given to Norman A. Phillips of the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, U.S.A. for his essay 'The general circulation of the atmosphere: a numerical experiment,' which had been published in the Quarterly Journal [of the Royal Meteorological Society] (82, p. 1230) [April 1956] ..."" (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 1956b)"" (Lewis: Clarifying the Dynamics of the General Circulation: Phillips's 1956 Experiment).‎

‎Victor Servranckx. De Jaren Twintig, ‎

‎BE, AsaMER , 2012 Hardback, 280x230mm, 250p, Dutch (NL) edition.*nieuwstaat ISBN 9789074694087.‎

‎Victor Servranckx (1897 - 1965) geboren in Diegem bij Brussel, was een buitengewoon kunstenaar. Zijn werk evolueerde van mathematische constructies, over abstract-surrealistische werken en lyrische kleurenuitbarstingen naar materie-experimenten en symmetrische structuren. Deze enorme varieteit maakt van hem een boeiende individuele persoonlijkheid. Victor Servranckx wil de nadruk leggen op Servranckx' werk uit de jaren 1920 met een focus op het begin van zijn abstract-geometrische periode. De tentoonstelling toont hoe Servranckx een fascinatie voor het mechanische en de fabriek, zijn werkplaats, omzet in een artistiek denken dat veel verder gaat dan het schildersdoek en de vermenging van verschillende kunstdisciplines omvat. Victor Servranckx illustreert de veelzijdigheid van de kunstenaar: Servranckx als schilder, schrijver van manifesten, ontwerper van behangpapier, architect, meubelmaker, etc. of hoe modernisme uit de jaren 1920 doordrong in alle niveaus van het dagdagelijkse leven! Ook zijn contacten met oa de kunstenaars Rene Magritte en Filippo Tommasso Marinetti, en zijn deelname aan The international exhibition of Modern Art van de Societe Anonyme te New York worden onder de aandacht gebracht! Heel wat privecollecties alsook nationale en internationale musea verleenden hun medewerking aan deze tentoonstelling waaronder MoMa in New York, Centre Pompidou in Parijs, het Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig in Wenen, Lehmbruckmuseum in Duisberg, Museum van Elsene.

‎Jules Schmalzigaug en het kookboek van het futurisme, Jules Schmalzigaug, futurist ‎

‎, MUZEE, 2016 Gebonden, Hardcover in slipcase, 318 pag., geillustreerd, NL/ Eng. editie, . neuf ! ISBN 9789074694254.‎

‎Jules Schmalzigaug en het kookboek van het futurisme wil een eerbetoon brengen aan het korte maar intense leven van deze Belgische futurist. In 2017 zal het honderd jaar geleden zijn dat Schmalzigaug het leven liet in Den Haag. Hij was de allereerste Belgische schilder die zich kon manifesteren in de kern van een internationale avant-gardestroming: het Italiaanse futurisme: zijn artistieke hoogtepunt bereikte hij in 1914! Deze retrospectieve blikt terug op de korte, maar zeer krachtige futuristische periode die Schmalzigaug in Italie en later als vluchteling in Den Haag heeft doorgemaakt. Geent op de artistieke inspiratie van de Italiaanse futuristen Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra en Gino Severini, genoot zijn authentieke stijl veel respect: zij beschouwden hem als talentvolle zielsverwant en vriend. Deze tentoonstelling brengt het futurisme van Schmalzigaug in dialoog met dat van zijn Italiaanse deelgenoten en met werk van andere Belgische avant-gardekunstenaars, zoals Paul Joostens, Pierre-Louis Flouquet, Prosper De Troyer, Edmond Van Dooren en enkele anderen? die na 1917 kortstondig de invloed van het futurisme ondergingen. Jules Schmalzigaug and the Futurist Cookbook pays homage to the brief but intense life of this Belgian Futurist. 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Schmalzigaug's death in The Hague. He was the very first Belgian painter to feature at the heart of an international avant-garde movement: Italian Futurism. In fact, he reached the peak of his artistic career in 1914! This retrospective looks back at the short but extremely powerful Futurist period which Schmalzigaug experienced in Italy and later as a refugee in The Hague. Artistically inspired by the Italian Futurists Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra and Gino Severini, who regarded him as a talented kindred spirit and friend, his authentic style earned a great deal of respect. This exhibition establishes a dialogue between Schmalzigaug's Futurism, that of his Italian associates and the work of other Belgian avant-garde artists such as Paul Joostens, Pierre-Louis Flouquet, Prosper De Troyer, Edmond Van Dooren and others who felt the influence of Futurism for a brief period after 1917. ‎

‎SAWING A PLANK IS LIKE GOING FOR A WALK Kato Six.‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 48, 2022 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 96 pages, Illustrated. ENG-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262517.‎

‎sawing a plank is like going for a walk by Kato Six (b. 1986) is published on the occasion of Kato's solo exhibition at M Leuven this autumn. This book encapsulates 10 years of her quest as an artist. The work of Kato Six balances between abstract and figurative art. She works with different themes which she develops into series or ensembles. Architecture, design, domesticity and utensils all function as important references. Starting from these, she uses recognisable and everyday materials such as MDF, stone, plastic or textiles. Kato wants to question certain affinities and let the viewer look at familiar objects or images from a different perspective. As a viewer, you feel connected to the object or image but the actual meaning or function no longer applies. "Some of my works refer to the domestic, especially the most recent ones, such as 'Carpet Beater Carpet' and 'Striped Knitwear'. The invisible work done by housewives, but also by workers or maintenance staff, is certainly one of the themes addressed in 'Carpet Beater Carpet'. The above works are textile works, created with so-called soft skills. In the arts, these soft skills are often attributed to female artists - women often being assigned a certain medium." Kato Six in conversation with Eva Wittocx in 'sawing a plank is like going for a walk'‎

‎, Primavera Pers, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket, 252 pages ., ca. 350 ill. in color. ISBN 9789059972308.‎

‎This book is not about parades and mass events of official DPRK propaganda, neither does it pretend to show secret North Korea. Glimpses of Daily Life presents unofficial North Korea. It shows how people live their daily lives against the backdrop of totalitarian ideology - lives of a bizarre otherworldliness within the 21st century. This selection of photographs, made by DPRK watchers over the past decade, not only has a documentary value; the lines and colours of architecture, landscape and the calligraphy of the ubiquitous slogans and announcements are often strangely aesthetic. An important and disturbing book. Photographs by Martin Tutsch, Eric Lafforgue, Raymond K. Cunningham Jr. and others. International distribution by Idea Books (except UK & Eire: John Rule Art Books). International customers can also email verkoop@primaverapers.nl. Price including postage (one copy) for orders in Europe: 49.50 or 53 (with track/trace).

The press: The eminent scholar Andrei Lankov reviewed the book for NK News (27th of July); his conclusion: ?The North Koreans? can be seen as a remarkable breakthrough. I would describe it as the best visual representation of North Korea?s daily life, available not only in English, but in any language, including Korean ? a truly unique and valuable book indeed.?‎
