Condizione: Good. First Edition. Vanaf het mement der mensheid hebben vuur en vuurbeheersing altijd in het middelpunt van de belangstelling gestaan. Vuur had al op de eerste bewoners van deze planeet een haast magische aantrekkingskracht. Met het zelf prduceren van vuur, werd ook het begin van onze beschaving ingeluid. De mens was niet langer uitsluitend een prooi der elementen; kon er ook z'n voordeel meedoen. Vanaf de Brons- en IJzertijd, toen de mens zelf gereedschappen ging vervaardigen, si steeds veelzijdiger en 'professioneler'apparatuur ontwikkeld om zelf vuur te kunnen maken. Ook de aansteker speelt in dit hele proces een belangrijke rol. Dit beok wil laten zien, dat met de ontwikkeling van de aansteker in zeker opzicht ook een stuk geschiedenis van de mensheid wordt geschreven. Van de vuursteen en vuurboog, waarvan men zich in de prehistorie bediende, via de 17de-eeuwse tondeldoos naar het brokje micro-electronica, dat de hedendaagse mens ter beschikking staat, is een boeiend proces.; Boek is in goede staat.…

The Legend of the Lighter traces this fascinating journey from the fire steels of the ancient world to the tinderboxes of the seventeenth century up to the modern cigarette lighter, which is featured here in an astonishing variety of designs. The scientific and technical advances that gave birth to models such as the gasoline, battery, electric, and butane gas lighters are described in rich and informative detail. Nearly every imaginable form that lighters have taken over the years, from pistols to pens, is both documented and beautifully illustrated. The engaging and authoritative text also places the development of the lighter within a clear historical context; the authors make an enlightening case that the story of the lighter both embodies and reflects the progress of modern civilization.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Dutch Snoecks 94 is een omvangrijke editie van het Belgische culturele jaarboek Snoecks, waarin een brede selectie van bijdragen is samengebracht die een beeld geven van de artistieke en maatschappelijke tendensen van de vroege jaren negentig. Het boek bevat een mix van literaire teksten, essays, beeldende kunst, fotografie en reportages, vaak van uiteenlopende auteurs en kunstenaars, en wordt gekenmerkt door zijn rijk geïllustreerde vormgeving en verzorgde uitgave. De inhoud is niet thematisch strikt afgebakend, maar eerder eclectisch en samengesteld rond kwaliteit en actualiteit, waardoor het fungeert als een momentopname van het culturele landschap in Vlaanderen en daarbuiten. Door de combinatie van tekst en beeld en de diversiteit aan invalshoeken biedt het werk zowel verdieping als visuele prikkeling, en richt het zich op lezers met interesse in kunst, cultuur en literatuur in een brede, niet-fictieve context.…
