Floods and Long-Term Water-Level Changes in Medieval Hungary
The book provides an overview of the floods and major hydrological changes that occurred in the medieval Hungarian kingdom (covering the majority of the Carpathian Basin) between 1000 and 1500 AD. The analysis was based on contemporary documentary evidence presented for the first time and the results of archaeological and scientific investigations. Beyond the evidence on individual flood events, the book includes a comprehensive overview of short-, medium-, and long-term changes detected in a hydrologically sensitive environment during the transition period between the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. It also discusses the possible causes (including climate and human intervention) and the consequences for the physical and human environment, namely the related hydro-morphological changes, short- and long-term social response, and human perception issues.
Natural Disaster at the Closing of the Dutch Golden Age
An environmental history of natural disasters during the eighteenth-century decline of the Dutch Republic.
Mens en natuur
Onze relatie met de natuur om ons heen is, op zijn zachtst gezegd, ingewikkeld. Mensen gingen niet plots een bedreiging vormen voor het leven op aarde nadat ze er eeuwenlang mee in harmonie hadden geleefd. Verschillende ideeën over de omgang met de natuurlijke omgeving - sommige duurzaam, andere ronduit desastreus - hebben altijd naast elkaar bestaan. We waren er ons al verrassend vroeg van bewust dat ons handelen een nefaste impact kon hebben op de natuur. Maar die bezwaren werden geregeld aan de kant geschoven. Deze inleiding tot de milieugeschiedenis helpt de lezer te begrijpen hoe onze hedendaagse problematische omgang met de natuur en ons milieu tot stand is gekomen. Het is een introductie tot het recente onderzoek naar de relatie tussen mens en natuur doorheen de eeuwen, in de Lage Landen en ver daarbuiten.
The refusal and other stories
Eight short stories, often built on dialog, to tell about some aspects of life in today's world, its contradictions and, above all, the difficult search for new values. The tale "The Refusal", which gives the title to this short collection, was written in the aftermath of the fall of the Twin Towers: the episode is present in watermark, it could be any other situation of war and violence to which, unfortunately, we are too accustomed nowadays, but that people cannot accept, because the normality are not death, violence or massacre, that make people lose their reference points, as it is also stated in the tale "War". In an absurd world where the only parameter for the evaluation is the high e...
Zánik a pustnutí venkovských sídlišť v pozdním středověku
Zaniklé středověké vsi jsou fascinujícím historickým pramenem, někdy považovaným za klíčový doklad krize tehdejší evropské společnosti. Předkládaná monografie shrnuje hlavní poznávací přístupy zainteresovaných oborů, relevantní ekonomické teorie a také dosavadní interpretace pustnutí a zániku. Navrhuje zaniklé vsi vnímat jako indikátor adaptability a odolnosti předindustriálních rolnických komunit a s tímto prizmatem přistupuje k analýze vybraných regionů a lokalit na pomezí Čech a Německa. Studie má jedinečný a experimentální charakter, neboť kombinuje hlubokou analýzu písemných, kartografických i onomastických pramenů, výsledky tradičního povrchového průzkumu a analýzu reliktů identifikovaných na základě moderních metod dálkového průzkumu země.
BLOOD TAPESTRIES IN THE SOUL
Giacomo Rinaldi is a brilliant man, an Art lover that sees his life vanishing with the slow inflexibility of a river flowing in a distant landscape.
