Oorlogsvoering in de Oudheid
€ 44,90
Aan de hand van prachtige tekeningen, kaarten en infographics laat dit boek zien hoe men in de oudheid oorlog voerde. We lezen niet alleen over de veldslagen, maar ook over de gebruikte wapens en de logistiek. Uiteraard komen ook de tactiek, de rol van leiders en de organisatie van de troepen aan de orde. Dit boek is gebaseerd op de nieuwste wetenschappelijke inzichten en bevat een groot aantal virtuoze tekeningen van Giuseppe Rava. Zij brengen de oorlogen van de Soemeriërs, Assyriërs, Grieken en Romeinen tot leven.

Cache-sexe
€ 34,90This book asks why humans through history have covered their genitals and worn a cache-sexe. Does the cache-sexe merely provide protection, or is it an instrument to draw attention? Can the cache-sexe be used to stimulate certain thoughts? Why does not wearing a cache-sexe provoke shame one society but not in another? Are nudity and nakedness the same?
On his quest to answer these questions, the author takes the reader on a review of the anatomy of the female and male genitals and reflects on how this part of the human body has been perceived over time and in various cultures. The different types of male and female cache-sex are discussed with reference to comprehensive illustrations based on unique and sometimes previously unpublished examples of cache-sexes and photographic documentation. The book also pays attention to the covering of the ‘backside’. Following this 360° exploration of the use of the cache-sexe, the place of the cache-sexe in art and fashion is uncovered.
