Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: 26 November 2013, accepted: 14 May 2014 Abstract Flevoland (central Netherlands) is an area of long-term discontinuous deposition that has been reclaimed from the Zuiderzee in the 20th century. Before the reclamation, the Zuiderzee had been in a phase of enlargement, threatening inhabitants on the islands and the shores, since the Medieval Period. During this phase, a surficial clay cover was deposited on the island of Schokland (World Heritage Site: Noordoostpolder, northern Flevoland). We have studied the clay sequence in order to reconstruct the island’s flooding history during the last 1200 years. The depositional history of the youn- gest clay deposit on Schokland is inferred from a literature study, analyses of a digital elevation model, six coring transects, three new 14C accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates and laboratory analyses. -

Since a considerable part of the information required for risk management contains specific spatial references (such as the location of toxic clouds or areas prone to flooding), much attention is paid to the development of geo-information and communications technology (Geo-ICT) to support risk management practices. -
Modern Architecture and Modern Furniture
Modern Architecture and Modern Furniture 14 docomomo 46 — 2012/1 docomomo46.indd 14 25/07/12 11:13 odern architecture and Modern furniture originated almost during the same period of time. Modern architects needed furniture compatible with their architecture and because Mit was not available on the market, architects had to design it themselves. This does not only apply for the period between 1920 and 1940, as other ambitious architectures had tried be- fore to present their buildings as a unit both on the inside and on the outside. For example one can think of projects by Berlage, Gaudí, Mackintosh or Horta or the architectures of Czech Cubism and the Amsterdam School. This phenomenon originated in the 19th century and the furniture designs were usually developed for the architect’s own building designs and later offered to the broader consumer market, sometimes through specialized companies. This is the reason for which an agree- ment between the architect and the commissioner was needed, something which was not always taken for granted. By Otakar M á c ˆe l he museum of Czech Cubism has its headquarters designed to fit in the interior, but a previous epitome of De in the Villa Bauer in Liboˇrice, a building designed Stijl principles that culminated in the Schröderhuis.

There simply were none. And then I came here. He had such a „men’s club“ and we went out toge- ther. There in the bus, I spoke to a Catholic for the first time. It was very nice and we got along really well. That was a real revelation. I will never forget how when the bus arrived in Nagele one of them said: Well, Reintje, if we never meet again we will meet in heaven. We as Christians would have ne- ver said something like this. We did not talk about such things. Back then we used to cycle to church in Urk.

Forget About World Heritage

Renes Masterthesis Research Master Human Geography & Planning Universiteit Utrecht, August 2010 Cover illustration: World Heritage Site Schokland and Surroundings Image by Thijs Konijnendijk 2 Preface The preface of a thesis is often seen as an opportunity to boast about the many long hours spent or the litres of coffee needed to complete a work of some acceptable scientific value. And although I cannot deny that such conditions apply to the present report as well, the one thing that was most apparent, available and experienced during the writing of this thesis was joy. It simply was joyful to go to the bottom of literature on cultural landscapes and historic buildings and to design a survey which would be held under so many people. Joy too is what I encountered when talking to the experts I interviewed, as well as enthusiasm for the subject they had specialized in and the work they had accomplished. Last, but certainly not least, I also enjoyed discussing my research with my colleagues, supervisor, friends and family who were always there when I had questions or concerns about my progress. For this joy and enthusiasm, as well as all the information and help they offered, I want to thank all the people who participated in my survey and those who I have interviewed: Ms. -
The Netherlands Lapbook Information Sheet the Flag the Flag of The
The Netherlands Lapbook Information Sheet The Flag The flag of The Kingdom of the Netherlands - divided into 12 provinces, of which two are North Holland and South Holland - is made up of three rectangles in red, white and blue. At one time this tricolour flag was orange, white and blue, as those were the livery colours of William of Orange, a Dutch prince. In the 17th century, red replaced the orange as a flag colour, because the orange dye used on the flag was unstable, and turned red after exposure to the sun. The Location As mentioned above, "Holland" is generally referred to when "The Netherlands" is meant. There are 12 provinces - Zeeland, Noord-Brabant, Utrecht, Flevoland, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg and North and South Holland. The Netherlands are in Northern Europe, and to make things a smidgen more complicated, they are included with Belgium and Luxembourg as Low Countries, or Benelux Countries. Famous Dutch People I'm sure there are dozens more very famous Dutch people if you start looking, but we were looking for ones that would interest the girls, so we looked (very) briefly at Mata Hari, Corrie ten Boom, Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh and in a bit more detail at Anne Frank (Lapbook for Anne Frank to follow!) Dutch Icons There are a few things The Netherlands are famous for: - Canals. This country is mostly meant to be under water, so the sheer amount of the place that's been reclaimed from the sea is astounding. The canals played an important part in Dutch commerce and development, and many still do.
