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female cache-sex are discussed with reference to comprehensive illustrations based on unique and sometimes previously unpublished examples of cache-sexes and photographic documentation.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.

Soa het ut weest
€ 19,90Leeuwarden heeft een historische stadskern om zuinig op te zijn. In de eerste naoorlogse jaren leefde dat besef nog niet zo: het motto was ‘bouwen, bouwen, bouwen’ om de woningnood te lenigen. Vervolgens werd de auto als heilige koe omarmd en dreigden grachten gedempt en terpen geslecht te worden: rijden, rijden, rijden… Tot de babyboomers in opstand kwamen: niet alles hoeft plat.
Babyboomer en oud-redacteur van de Leeuwarder Courant Pieter de Groot (1946) besloot in 1997 deze en andere gebeurtenissen uit het stadsverleden in herinnering te roepen in de zaterdagkrant, met als kapstok vaak een actueel onderwerp. Van de inmiddels meer dan duizend columns liet hij er voor zijn 75ste verjaardag 75 uitzoeken. Na ruim 25 jaar blijkt niets zo vluchtig als de actualiteit en niets zo moeilijk als het voorspellen van de toekomst.
