Abstract

Chariots and Other Wheeled Vehicles in Italy before the Roman Empire presents evidence for transport by wheeled vehicle in Italy before the Roman Imperial period, the beginning of which is often thought to be marked by Augustuss conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. The study begins with a glossary of technical terms and with evidence for roads and the animals that were used in draught. The major part is concerned with the vehicles themselves - two-wheeled chariots and carts and four-wheeled wagons - their construction, the ways in which their draught animals were harnessed and controlled, and the uses

Abstract

Heftrucks zijn een bekend gezicht in onze bedrijven. Ze zijn onmisbaar om de opslag en het transport van goederen snel en efficiënt te doen verlopen. Toch vormen ze door hun omvang, mobiliteit en gewicht ook een risico voor mens en materiaal. Het is dus van essentieel belang dat ze veilig worden gebruikt. De preventieadviseur heeft hierbij een belangrijke rol te vervullen, van de aankoop van de heftruck tot de opleiding van de gebruikers. Dit boek kan een steun in de rug zijn voor alle betrokkenen. Het besteedt uiteraard aandacht aan de relevante wetgeving, maar ook aan de praktijk: . Wat zijn de belangrijkste stabiliteitsprincipes ? . Wat zijn de typische ongevallen ? . Wat zijn de risico's bij het laden van een vrachtwagen ? . Hoe richt ik best een batterijlokaal in ?Dit praktijkboek geeft een antwoord op al deze vragen en nog vele andere. Het is bovendien rijkelijk geïllustreerd, zodat het ook zijn nut kan bewijzen op de werkvloer. Bron : http://shop.kluwer.be

Abstract

Cavalier et méhariste dans l’armée, maitre d’attelage diplômé de la Fédération équestre française dans le civil, bricoleur exceptionnellement doué dans ses loisirs Jean Spruytte est l’homme de plusieurs vies. II s’y est acquis un coup d’œil et une sagacité rares. En 1977, ses Études expérimentales sur l’attelage renouvelaient de fond en comble un sujet sur lequel le commandant Lefebvre des Noëttes avait eu le mérite d’attirer l’attention, mais Ie tort d’accumuler les contresens. Aujourd’hui, Jean Spruytte s’attaque à ce qu’on aurait pu appeler Le mystère de la roue de Brooklyn. Une roue en bois d’une facture insolite, oubliée après bien des vicissitudes dans les réserves d’un musée new-yorkais, Iui permet de proposer une interprétation inattendue des peintures rupestres d’une petite région du Tassili n’Ajjer, dans le Sahara central. Vers le milieu du premier millénaire avant notre ère, la population qui vivait là élevait des chevaux et les dressait à l’attelage, à l’aide de chars d’une structure simplifiée et allégée au maximum, mais d’une conception fort élaborée. Les chevaux dressés étaient vraisemblablement destinés aux établissements phéniciens de la cote libyenne, d’où venaient également les chars, en pièces détachées. La démonstration d’une rigueur et d’une élégance toutes classiques, fait justice de toutes les élucubrations romanesques qui ont si souvent, dans le domaine de l’art rupestre saharien, tenu lieu de théorie. Ce récit passionnant est aussi une leçon de méthode.

Abstract

"Almost every book in the Hebrew Bible mentions horses and chariots in some manner, usually in a military context. However, the importance of horses, chariots, and equestrians in ancient Israel is typically mentioned only in passing, if at all, by historians, hippologists, and biblical scholars. When it is mentioned, the topic engenders a great deal of confusion. Notwithstanding the substantial textual and archaeological evidence of the horse{u2019}s historic presence, recent scholars seem to be led by a general belief that there were very few horses in Iron Age Israel and the Israel{u2019}s chariotry was insignificant. The reason for this current sentiment is tied primarily to the academic controversy of the past 50 years over whether the 17 tripartite-pillared buildings excavated at Megiddo in the early 20th century were, in fact, stables. Although the original excavators, archaeologists from the University of Chicago, designated these buildings as stables, a number of scholars (and a few archeologists) later challenged this view and adopted alternative interpretations. After they {u2018}reassessed{u2019} the Megiddo stables as {u2018}storehouses, {u2019} {u2018}marketplaces, {u2019} or {u2018}barracks, {u2019} the idea developed that there were no place for the horses to be kept and, therefore, there must have been few horses in Israel. The lack of stables, when added to the suggestion that Iron age Israel could not have afforded to buy expensive horses and maintain an even more expensive chariotry, led to a dearth of horses in ancient Israel; or so the logic goes that has permeated the literature. Cantrell{u2019}s book attempts to dispel this notion. Too often today, scholars ignore or diminish the role of the horse in battle. It is important to remember that ancient historians took for granted knowledge about horses that modern scholars have now forgotten or never knew. Cantrell{u2019}s involvement with horses as a rider, competitor, trainer, breeder, and importer includes equine experience ranging from competitive barrel-racing to jumping, and for the past 25 years, dressage. The Horseman of Israel relies on the author{u2019}s knowledge of and experience with horses as well as her expertise in the field of ancient Near Eastern languages, literature, and archeology."--Back cover.
