Forgotten Islands of Indonesia
This beautiful book contains fascinating text and over 170 unique photographs of one of the most interesting but least well known cultures in the Indonesian Archipelago. The traditional art of Maluku Tenggara, the Southeast Moluccas, is among the most sophisticated and expressive in the world. Simple tools were used to create masterpieces in wood, stone, textiles and precious metals, while the plaited work and earthenware of these islands are also of the very highest quality. the colonial period plunged the region into hopeless isolation. During the harsh rule of the Dutch many traditional woks of art, especially ancestor statues, were destroyed. Later, collectors stripped the islands of the...
Luisterrijk cultuurlandschap
Als een van de meest vooraanstaande naoorlogse landschapsarchitecten stond Nico de Jonge (1920-1997) aan de basis van de emancipatie van het vakgebied. Onder zijn leiding ontwikkelde de afdeling landschapsarchitectuur van Staatsbosbeheer steeds nadrukkelijker een ontwerpgerichte aanpak. In wonderschone krijttekeningen zagen visionaire plannen het licht. Als hoogleraar aan de landbouwuniversiteit van Wageningen maakten zijn excursies naar de nieuwe landschappen onuitwisbare indruk.00Het Nederlandse deltagebied was zijn domein. Geboren en getogen in Zeeland verklaarde hij eenieder zijn liefde voor het dynamische kustlandschap. Daar, op de grens van land en water lag de inspiratie voor het cultuurlandschap dat hij voorstond. Waar mens en natuur zich konden ontwikkelen in contrastrijke, gemaakte landschappen.00Yvonne Horsten-van Santen schetst in Luisterrijk cultuurlandschap de context waarin De Jonge zich het vak meester maakte. En ze bespreekt een groot aantal van zijn projecten: van de herinrichting van Walcheren tot de ontwerpen voor de Flevopolders. Jeroen Bosch -fotografeerde wat er van die ontwerpen is geworden. Rijke landschappen, indrukwekkend en vitaal.
Showing and Telling: Film heritage institutes and their performance of public accountability
'Showing and Telling' is the first academic work to explore how publicly funded film heritage institutes account for their mandate in their public activities. It does that by inspecting and evaluating public presentations and visitor information about these presentations. The research was done by juxtaposing two complementary approaches. The first is grounded in the author’s experience as a collection researcher and curator and makes a case for the richness of archival objects usually ignored for their lack of aesthetic qualities. The second is a survey of the public activities of 24 institutes worldwide, based on their websites, in February 2014; the latter constitutes a unique source. Th...

Human Ecology
Humans have always been influenced by natural landscapes, and always will be—even as we create ever-larger cities and our developments fundamentally change the nature of the earth around us. In Human Ecology, noted city planner and landscape architect Frederick Steiner encourages us to consider how human cultures have been shaped by natural forces, and how we might use this understanding to contribute to a future where both nature and people thrive. Human ecology is the study of the interrelationships between humans and their environment, drawing on diverse fields from biology and geography to sociology, engineering, and architecture. Steiner admirably synthesizes these perspectives throug...

Religion and Architecture in Premodern Indonesia
In his richly illustrated Religion and Architecture in Premodern Indonesia Gaudenz Domenig investigates the nature of Indonesian ethnic religions by focusing on land opening rituals, sacred groves, and architectural responses to the custom of presenting offerings. Since deities and spirits were supposed to taste offerings on the spot, it was a task of architecture to attract them and to guide them into houses where offerings were presented. Domenig quotes numerous sources to show that certain material elements of the house were viewed as spirit attractors, spirit ladders or spirit pathways. Various ‘exotic’ features of Indonesian vernacular architecture thus become understandable as relics from times when architecture was still responding to indigenous religions practised in the archipelago.
