Beschreibung

Lost Forest Villages explores the hidden world of isolated communities that deliberately retreated into forested areas. It uncovers their unique architectural adaptations and survival strategies developed over generations. These settlements, often driven by a desire for cultural autonomy or escaping persecution, offer a fascinating look into how societies can thrive outside the mainstream. The book examines how locally sourced materials became essential building blocks and how ingenious defensive designs protected these communities.

 
The study progresses by first defining "lost forest villages" and setting the scope. It then delves into architectural adaptations, investigating building materials, construction techniques, and spatial organization. Finally, it analyzes survival strategies such as agriculture, resource management, and trade. What sets this book apart is its deep dive into the intersection of architecture, history, and anthropology, revealing how isolation shaped not only their buildings but also their entire way of life.

 
By analyzing surviving structures, archaeological findings, and oral histories, the book argues that these villages represent a profound case study in human resilience. They optimized their built environments and social systems to thrive in challenging conditions. This offers valuable insights into sustainable living and community resilience that remain relevant today.

Imperial Germany’s Colonization...

Editors Charles River

Before the mid-19th century, European intervention in much of tropical Africa was extremely difficult because of the disease gradient. The combination of malaria and yellow fever commonly killed off half of European troops stationed in West Africa each year. It was the reverse of the conquest of the Americas, where introduced diseases wiped out 50 million indigenous Americans, opening the land to settlement and greatly reducing the ability to resist. This was much less of a problem in temperate southern Africa, accounting for the Dutch being able to set up a colony there in the 17th century.
The political situation was also important. Germany did not exist as a nation until 1871, when the German Empire was declared, following the decisive defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Germany united into a single nation under the former king of Prussia, who became kaiser (meaning emperor). Previously, Germany had been a linguistic and cultural region fragmented into a welter of kingdoms, dukedoms, margraviates, bishoprics, and free cities.
The German Empire would prove to be the most short-lived of all, because, along with the Russian and Ottoman Empires, it did not survive World War I. In 1919, Germany lost all of its African colonies, which then accrued as League of Nations mandated territories either to France or Britain. The mandate over German South West Africa, the future Namibia, was placed under British control by proxy, and its day-to-day administration was handled from South Africa. Ultimately, South Africa absorbed South West Africa as a virtual province and resisted pressure to cede authority to the United Nations for decades. However, the contest between Germany and Britain on the African continent during the late 19th century would also create the conditions that led to the North Africa Campaign in World War II.

Over the Years - Selected...

Gillian Bickley, Verner Bickley

The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections. 
“Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014) 
"Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.
