DETAILS
The Mountain's Breath / De Adem van de Berg (Sven Gerhardt)

In the south of the Netherlands lies the limestone plateau of the Sint-Pietersberg. As early as the Middle Ages, people started using limestone as a building material. Underground mining resulted in an immense network of caves, its corridor walls preserving a huge living archive, left behind by block breakers, tourists, people in hiding, soldiers, and priests. Fossils of Sauria have been found, sieges have taken place, people have disappeared, and treasures have been stored (such as the Night Watch). Around 1960, Jan Spee started photographing these corridor walls, which he meticulously mapped and organised. Compiled by Sven Gerhardt (NL), this book gives an overview and provides context and cross-references to Spee’s images.

NEW RELEASE
With Love. From an Invader. – Rhododendrons, Empire, China and Me (Yan Wang Preston)

An intensive field study on a Rhododendron ponticum bush provides insight into our view of native and non-native on an ecological and political level.

With Love. From an Invader. – Rhododendrons, Empire, China and Me is an intensive field study. Every other day for a year, (CN/GB) went to a particular love-heart-shaped Rhododendron ponticum shrub and photographed it. In the process she also found a thriving ecology with the rhododendrons as the key stone species. British rhododendrons are all introduced plants, brought from southern Europe and East Asia for science and horticulture. Although still common and a much-loved sight in most British gardens, it is frequently labelled as non-native invasive. The contested perceptions of rhododendrons suggest that politics is at play within the apparent objectivity of science. The book is a love letter from a non-native species to the cosmopolitan ecology of contemporary Britain.

SECOND EDITION
Encyclopedia of the Uncertain (Anna Püschel)

Fascinated by awareness and ignorance, (DE/FR) began collecting definitions of words related to knowledge from a broad range of sources, from medieval texts to modern dictionaries. These definitions – some objectively true, others with questionable veracity – are brought together in the Encyclopedia of the Uncertain, a work that redefines referencing, and boldly juxtaposes French poetry to conspiracy theories, recipes, and political essays. But regardless of their origin, the definitions show that we have always yearned for the truth. As individuals in uncertain times, we must acknowledge what we do not know and listen to nuance, for there is beauty in uncertainty.
