p itemprop=description In Mechelen wordt een jonge vrouw zo beestachtig vermoord dat zelfs ervaren speurders moeite hebben om hun emoties te bedwingen.br Onderzoeksrechter Jos Bosmans is bang dat zijn rustige provinciestad zal worden overspoeld door blinde paniek en zet alle beschikbare middelen in om de zaak open te breken. Maar de tijd dringt, de pers staat te trappelen aan de zijlijn en de speurders staan voor een raadsel. Ze vinden geen motief, geen aanknopingspunt, niks.Dankzij het inlevingsvermogen van topspeurder Dirk Deleu wordt eindelijk een verdachte opgepakt. Benjamin Delaedt, een man van twaalf in een dozijn, heeft de vermoorde vrouw gestalkt. Daar kan geen twijfel over bestaan. Hij gaat zelfs over tot gedeeltelijke bekentenissen. En toch Deleu twijfelt. Kunnen een banale verliefdheid en een dronkenmanseed aan de toog een brave huisvader in zon korte tijd veranderen in een obsessief, moordlustig beest?br Als de radeloze Benjamin Delaedt door een administratieve fout te vroeg wordt vrijgelaten, neemt de zaak een perverse wending en moet Deleu afdalen tot in de diepste krochten van de menselijke psyche. Voorbij goed en kwaad. Recht naar de hel. Recencie(s) Jos Bosmans, Dirk Deleu en Nadia Mendonck staan voor een enorme uitdaging het rechercheteam moet immers de moordenaar zien te vinden die Mechelen in rep en roer zet. Bij een reeks afschuwwekkende moorden blijft van de lijken niet veel over bovendien zijn ze met azijn of bleekwater overgoten om sporen te wissen. De beestachtige moordenaar is hen telkens te slim af en speelt een spelletje met hen. De auteur maakt meesterlijk gebruik van wisselende vertelstandpunten. Meer dan eens dwingt hij de lezer om met de moordenaar mee te redeneren, door hem deelgenoot te maken van zijn angsten, twijfels en lugubere plannen, maar ook van zijn woede, genot bij de geweldplegingen en pure waanzin. Daarnaast volgen we de politiemensen in hun wanhopig speurwerk. De stijl is meeslepend en zet aan tot doorlezen, al is het verhaal niet geschikt voor gevoelige lezers. De spannende beschrijving van de geweldplegingen en de psychologie van de dader zijn immers verre van zachtaardig. De indringende negende roman van de Vlaamse auteur stevent opnieuw af op succes. Paperback met normale druk. Zie ook www.deflo.be.Patricia Moons (source Bol.com)

Photographs of Texas frontier past are valuable as both art and artifact. Recording not only the lives and surroundings of days gone by, but also the artistry of those who captured the people and their times on camera, the rare images in Lens on the Texas Frontier offer a documentary record that is usually available to only a few dedicated collectors. In this book, prominent collector Lawrence T. Jones III showcases some of the most interesting and historically important glimpses of Texas history included among the five thousand photographs in the collection that bears his name at the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University. One of the nations most comprehensive and valuable Texas-related photography collections, the Lawrence T. Jones III Collection documents all aspects of Texas photography from the years 18461945, including rare examples of the various techniques practiced from its earliest days in the state daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and paper print photographs in various formats. The selections in the book feature cartes de visite, cabinet cards, oversized photographs, stereographs, and more. The subjects of the photos include Confederate and Union soldiers and officers in the Civil War Mexicans, including ranking military officials from the Mexican Revolution and a wide spectrum of Texan citizens, including African American, Native American, Hispanic, and Caucasian women, men, and children. **

A comprehensive examination of the ways in which the wartime service and sacrifice of Floridians has been memorialized from the Reconstruction Era through the present. A valuable contribution to the subject of Civil War Memory.David J. Coles, coeditor of A Yankee Horseman in the Shenandoah ValleyA complete guide. The authors locate every Civil War monument in Florida and explain their symbolism.Daniel L. Schafer, author of Thunder on the River The Civil War in Northeast FloridaOne hundred and fifty years ago, Florida was shaken by battle, blockade, economic deprivation, and the death of native sons both within and far outside its borders. Today, tributes to the valor and sacrifice of Floridas soldiers, sailors, and civilians can be found from the Panhandle to the Keys. Authors Lees and Gaske look at the diversity of Civil War monuments built in Florida between Reconstruction and the present day, elucidating their emblematic and social dimensions.Most monuments built in Florida honor the Confederacy, praising the valor of Southern soldiers and often extolling the righteousness of their Lost Cause. At the same time, a fascinating minority of Union monuments also exists in the stateand these bear notably muted messages. Recalling Deeds Immortal shows how the creation of these bronze and stone monuments created new social battlegrounds as, over the years, groups such as the Ladies Memorial Associations, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Grand Army of the Republic competed to control the messages behind the memorialization of fallen soldiers and veterans. Examining the evolution of Civil War monuments, the authors demonstrate that the construction of these memorials is itself an important part of Civil War and postCivil War history. **

SYMBO

Author: Michael Hann
File Type: pdf
Symbol, Pattern and Symmetry The Cultural Significance of Structure investigates how pattern and symbol has functioned in visual arts, exploring how connections and comparisons in geometrical pattern can be made across different cultures and how the significance of these designs has influenced craft throughout history.The book features illustrative examples of symbol and pattern from a wide range of historical and cultural contexts, from Byzantine, Persian and Assyrian design, to case studies of Japanese and Chinese patterns. Looking at each cultures specific craft style, Hann shows how the visual arts are underpinned with a strict geometric structure, and argues that understanding these underlying structures enables us to classify and compare data from across cultures and historical periods.Richly illustrated with both colour and black and white images, and with clear, original commentary, the book enables students, practitioners, teachers and researchers to explore the historical and cultural significance of symbol and pattern in craft and design, ultimately displaying how a geometrical dialogue in design can be established through history and culture.

THE P
31052
Author: Friedrich Nietzsche
File Type: epub
The works of Friedrich Nietzsche have fascinated readers around the world ever since the publication of his first book more than a hundred years ago. As Walter Kaufmann, one of the worlds leading authorities on Nietzsche, notes in his introduction, Few writers in any age were so full of ideas, and few writers have been so consistently misinterpreted. The Portable Nietzsche includes Kaufmanns definitive translations of the complete and unabridged texts of Nietzsches four major works Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, Nietzsche Contra Wagner and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In addition, Kaufmann brings together selections from his other books, notes, and letters, to give a full picture of Nietzsches development, versatility, and inexhaustibility. In this volume, one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensitive, passionate, and misunderstood writers in Western, or any, literature. Newsweek

This is the first analysis of periodicals key role in U.S. feminisms formation as a collective identity and set of political practices in the 1970s. Between 1968 and 1973, more than five hundred different feminist newsletters and newspapers were published in the United States. Agatha Beins shows that the repetition of certain ideas in these periodicalsideas about gender, race, solidarity, and politicssolidified their centrality to feminism.Beins focuses on five periodicals of that era, comprising almost three hundred different issues Distaff (New Orleans, Louisiana) Valley Womens Center Newsletter (Northampton, Massachusetts) Female Liberation Newsletter (Cambridge, Massachusetts) Aint I a Woman? (Iowa City, Iowa) and L.A. Womens Liberation Newsletter, later published as Sister (Los Angeles, California). Together they represent a wide geographic range, including some understudied sites of feminism. Beins examines the discourse of sisterhood, images of women of color, feminist publishing practices, and the production of feminist spaces to demonstrate how repetition shaped dominant themes of feminisms collective identity. Beins also illustrates how local context affected the manifestation of ideas or political values, revealing the complexity and diversity within feminism.With much to say about the study of social movements in general, Liberation in Print shows feminism to be a dynamic and constantly emerging identity that has grown, in part, out of a tension between ideological coherence and diversity. Beinss investigation of repetition offers an innovative approach to analyzing collective identity formation, and her book points to the significance of print culture in activist organizing.**Book DescriptionPrint culture, activism, and collective feminist identity About the Author AGATHA BEINS is an assistant professor of multicultural womens and gender studies at Texas Womans University.

File Type: pdf
This volume on intercultural biblical interpretation includes essays by feminist scholars from Botswana, Germany, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, and the United States. Reading from a rich variety of socio-cultural locations, contributors present their hermeneutical frameworks for interpretation of Hebrew Bible texts, each framework grounded in the writers journey of professional or social formation and serving as a prism or optic for feminist critical analysis. The volume hosts a lively conversation about the nature and significance of biblical interpretation in a global context, focusing on issues at the nexus of operations of power, textual ambiguity, and intersectionality. Engaged here are notions of biblical authority and postures of dissent womens agency, discernment, rivalry, and alliance in ancient and contemporary contexts ideological constructions of sexuality and power interpretations related to indigeneity, racial identity, interethnic intimacy, and violence in colonial contexts theologies of the feminine divine and feminist understandings of the sacred convictions about interdependence and conditions of flourishing for all beings in creation and ethics of resistance positioned over against dehumanization in political, theological, and hermeneutical praxes. Through their textual and contextual engagements, contributors articulate a broad spectrum of feminist insights into the possibilities for emancipatory visions of community.

JOHN
84716
Author: Gyorgy E. Szonyi
File Type: pdf
Delving into the life and work of John Dee, Renaissance mathematician and conjurer to Queen Elizabeth, Gyorgy E. Szonyi presents an analysis of Renaissance occultism and its place in the chronology of European cultural history. Culling examples of magical thinking from classical, medieval, and Renaissance philosophers, Szonyi revisits the body of Dees own scientific and spiritual writings as reflective sources of traditional mysticism. Exploring the intellectual foundations of magic, Szo nyi focuses on the ideology of exaltatio, the glorification or deification of man. He argues that it was the desire for exaltatio that framed and tied together the otherwise varied thoughts and activities of John Dee as well.
