A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, Update 2003-2006
This is the second update of A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, which appeared in 2002. It is meant to do two things: to present references to works on medieval military history and technology not included in the first two volumes; and to present references to all books and articles published on medieval military history and technology from 2003 to 2006. These references are divided into the same categories as in the first two volumes and cover a chronological period of the same length, from late antiquity to 1648, again in order to present a more complete picture of influences on and from the Middle Ages. It also continues to cover the same geographical area as the first and second volume, in essence Europe and the Middle East, or, again, influences on and from this area. The languages of these bibliographical references reflect this geography.
Remote Places, Public Spaces
The SMOTIES network is a partnership of ten design universities, research centers, creative agencies, and national associations. Each partner selected a small and remote place in their country to benefit from the design of cultural and creative regenerations within public spaces and in collaboration with local stakeholders. The project is part of the Human Cities network, a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, examining and acting to improve the livability of indoor and outdoor public spaces to incubate innovative processes for social cohesion through participatory design. Features projects in Portugal, Poland, Wales, Italy, Iceland, Estonia, France, Austria, Slovenia, and Greece Regiona...

Revival After the Great War
The challenges of post-war recovery from social and political reform to architectural design In the months and years immediately following the First World War, the many (European) countries that had formed its battleground were confronted with daunting challenges. These challenges varied according to the countries' earlier role and degree of involvement in the war but were without exception enormous. The contributors to this book analyse how this was not only a matter of rebuilding ravaged cities and destroyed infrastructure, but also of repairing people’s damaged bodies and upended daily lives, and rethinking and reforming societal, economic and political structures. These processes took ...
City Trees
For those who have ever wondered why we have trees in cities or what makes the layout of cities like Paris and Amsterdam seem so memorable, City Trees: A Historical Geography from the Renaissance through the Nineteenth Century by Henry W. Lawrence provides a comprehensive and handsome guide to the history of trees in urban landscapes. Covering four centuries of development in the cities of Europe and America, this book shows how trees became integral to urban landscapes by looking at the historical evolution of the spaces in which they were planted and how these spaces were used. Reflecting on the impact trees have had on what many consider to be the fundamental aspects of city life--people,...
The Feel of the City
At the start of the twentieth century, the modern metropolis was a riot of sensation. City dwellers lived in an environment filled with smoky factories, crowded homes, and lively thoroughfares. Sights, sounds, and smells flooded their senses, while changing conceptions of health and decorum forced many to rethink their most banal gestures, from the way they negotiated speeding traffic to the use they made of public washrooms. The Feel of the City exposes the sensory experiences of city-dwellers in Montreal and Brussels at the turn of the century and the ways in which these shaped the social and cultural significance of urban space. Using the experiences of municipal officials, urban planners, hygienists, workers, writers, artists, and ordinary citizens, Nicolas Kenny explores the implications of the senses for our understanding of modernity.
Medical histories of Belgium
Medical histories of Belgium reshapes Belgian history of medicine by bringing together a new generation of scholars. Going beyond a chronological narrative, the book offers new insights by questioning classic themes of the history of medicine: physicians, institutions and the nation state. While retracing specific Belgian characteristics, it also engages with broader European developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Medical histories of Belgium will appeal to Historians of Belgium in various subfields, especially cultural history and political history and medical historians and medical practitioners seeking the historical context of their activities.
Extra muros
Stadt und Umland sind auf vielfältige Weise miteinander vernetzt. Die durch den "Spatial Turn" entstandenen Impulse, Geschichte wieder verstärkt in räumlichen Bedingungen zu denken und Veränderungen der Raumwahrnehmung intensiver in den Blick zu nehmen, sind das Anliegen des vorliegenden Bandes. Im Fokus stehen u.a. Fragen zur kartographischen Repräsentation, zur Sozialtopographie, zu Inklusions- und Exklusionsprozessen sowie zur unterschiedlich starken Ausprägung von Zonen städtischen Einflusses. In den Beiträgen werden ausgewählte Städte aus Mittel-, Süd- und Osteuropa beleuchtet, darunter auch Festungsstädte und die in diesem Kontext oft wenig beachteten "kleinen Städte".
'Bomen zijn waardevolle bijkomstigheden'
Stedelijk groen in de moderne stad Stedelijke groenruimtes spelen vandaag een cruciale rol in debatten over de leefbaarheid van steden. Sinds de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw al duikt de vraag naar stedelijk groen op als een beleidsthema. ‘Bomen zijn waardevolle bijkomstigheden’ gaat op zoek naar de veranderende betekenis van stedelijk groen in de moderne stad. Op basis van de casus Antwerpen onderzoekt Tritsmans in welke mate de stedelijke groenruimte onderhevig is aan veranderingen in typologie, morfologie en gebruik, maar ook hoe maatschappelijke debatten en de beleving van stedelijk groen elkaar beïnvloeden. De auteur zoomt in op de geplande stedelijke groenruimte vanuit het ...
