Trade winds

A voyage to a sustainable future for shipping

By: Christiaan De Beukelaer

In 2020, Christiaan De Beukelaer spent 150 days covering 14,000 nautical miles aboard the schooner Avontuur, a hundred-year-old sailing vessel that transports cargo across the Atlantic Ocean. Embarking in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, he wanted to understand the realities of a little-known alternative to the shipping industry on which our global economy relies, and which contributes more carbon emissions than aviation. What started as a three-week stint of fieldwork aboard the ship turned into a five-month journey, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced all borders shut while crossing the ocean, preventing the crew from stepping ashore for months on end. Trade winds engagingly recounts De Beukelaer's life-changing personal odyssey and the complex journey the shipping industry is on to cut its carbon emissions. The Avontuur’s mission remains crucial as ever: the shipping industry urgently needs to stop using fossil fuels, starting today. If we can’t swiftly decarbonise shipping, we can’t solve the climate crisis.

Scholarly Virtues in Nineteenth-Century Sciences and Humanities

Loyalty and Independence Entangled

By: Christiaan Engberts

Reflecting a growing interest in the history of knowledge, this book explores the importance of scholarly virtues during the late nineteenth century. The practice of science is moulded on notions of scholarly values, such as diligence, impartiality, meticulousness and patience, but here, the author focuses on the virtues of collegial loyalty and critical independence. By analysing how virtues were reflected in day-to-day scholarly work, and examining the possibility that these virtues may have come into conflict with each other, this book sheds light on what is often described as ‘the moral economy of scholarship,’ a metaphor which draws attention to the changeability of the expectations raised by virtue. Highlighting the pre-eminence and exemplary nature of German scholarship during the nineteenth century, the author provides a detailed analysis of four evaluative practices used by scholars across the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences in a number of German universities.This allows a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between collegial loyalty and critical independence in the academic working environment, and draws comparisons across varying disciplines. A welcome contribution to a growing field of research, this book provides a comparative and transdisciplinary overview of scholarly virtues and will be of interest to those researching the history of science and the humanities.

Senna versus Schumacher And Other Formula One Rivalries That Never Happened

By: Christiaan Lustig,Mattijs Diepraam,Richard Armstrong,Kees van de Grint

What if Ayrton Senna had survived his Imola 1994 accident? What if Gilles Villeneuve hadn't died at Zolder in 1982? What if Stirling Moss hadn't crashed at Goodwood in 1962? What if Alberto Ascari had survived his 1955 testing-accident at Monza? This book explores those rivalries by assuming that drivers' injuries from crashes were not fatal, and pits the drivers up against their peers once more.

Winter, step by step

Novel

By: Christiaan Thierens

Alexis (24) is a young man with mild disabilities. Intelligent, but opinionated, passive and very introverted. During an ordinary December week, he is confronted with an avalanche of surprising experiences and shocking memories - stimuli that fuel his frustrations and expand his understanding. It becomes a week of over-living, amid the dogmas of family, the pedanticism of teachers, the decadence of the disco, the stress of a relationship, the questions about his orientation - and the omnipresent shadow of the war, which still doesn't really seem over. The story not only reveals the development of Alexis' self-awareness, it also paints a fascinating picture of daily life in Flanders circa 1975.

'EK STERF 'N DUISEND MAAL IN AFRIKA'

By: Christiaan Herbst

As 'n seuntjie het ek aandagtig geluister na al die romantiese verhale van die olifantjagters, en van die waagmoed en dapperheid van die jagters op die spore van die ivoordraers...( stories soos myne) met die dood wat telkemale oor jou hare stryk. In drome het ek myself gesien in woude en woestyne, op die spore van die ivoordraers... agter die alleenloper buffel aan... gedroom van ongelooflike avonture. Het ek maar geweet hoe waar al my drome eendag sou word.
