Dick Termes
Dick Termes is an American artist who uses a six-point perspective system that he devised to create unique paintings on large spheres called Termespheres. He is the world's leading spherical artist. In 2014, Dick was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame. He currently lives and works in Spearfish, South Dakota. Termespheres Termespheres are paintings on spherical canvases that capture an entire environment (up, down, left, right, front and back). Their style was inspired by Termes's desire to "paint the total picture." Termespheres are typically hung by small chains and rotated with electric ceiling motors to reveal a complete, closed universe as the spheres slowly rotate. One of his termespheres is most famously used on the cover of an edition of ''A Brief History of Time'' of the late physicist Stephen Hawking. Workshops and lectures Termes conducts lectures and workshops for schools, universities, and the general public, revealing the connections between a ...

Josep Termes
Josep Termes i Ardèvol (1936 in Barcelona – 2011) was a Catalan historian. He was born in the same month and year as the Spanish Civil War broke out, in a working-class environment, to whose memory he always wished to remain true. He studied at Barcelona University in the nineteen fifties, reading Pharmacy first, and, after the Students’ Movement of 1956, Arts, where he specialised in Contemporary History. It was also then when he joined the PSUC, the party he quit in 1974 due to the disagreements he had within the committee of intellectuals. From then on he was a fierce critic of Marxist dogma. Taking Casimir Martí’s book, ''Orígenes del anarquismo en Barcelona'' (The Origins of Anarchism in Barcelona) as his guide, he began to study the workers’ movement, especially the anarchists, in Catalonia and Spain in the 19th and 20th centuries. This dedication, of which his thesis ''Anarquismo y sindicalismo en España. La Primera Internacional, 1864-1884'' (Anarchism and Syn ...

Château De Termes
The Château de Termes (Languedocien: ''Castèl de Tèrme'') is a ruined castle near the village of Termes in the Aude ''département'' of France. It is one of the so-called Cathar castles. History Built on a promontory, defended on three sides by formidable deep ravines, the crumbling ruins of the castle cover an area of 16 000m². Held by the Cathar heretic Ramon (Raymond) de Termes, the castle only fell to Simon de Montfort after a siege lasting four months, from August to November 1210, the hardest siege of the first period of the Albigensian Crusade. Following an exceptionally dry summer and autumn, the empty water tanks led Raymond to offer surrender. However, as the crusaders advanced to possess the castle, they were met with a hail of arrows. A heavy storm overnight had replenished the cisterns and the defenders were able to hold out a little longer. Later, weakened from dysentery, and exposed to the fire of numbers of siege weapons, the garrison attempted unsucc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Termantia
Termantia, the present-day locality of Tiermes, is an archaeological site on the edge of the Duero valley in Spain. It is located in the sparsely populated ''municipio'' of Montejo de Tiermes (Soria, Castile and León). During the Iron Age it was a Celtiberian hill fort. It resisted the Romans, and was allied to Numantia during the Celtiberian Wars. It is believed that the Romans gave it the status of municipium. The original name was Romanised as ''Termes'' or ''Termantia''. It is remarkable for its impressive site on an arid red sandstone hill and for the way buildings have been carved in the solid rock. Roman history The wealth of Termes in Celtiberian and Roman times came possibly from sheep farming (there are indications of an annual transfer of flocks between the northern plateau and Extremadura) and from deposits of iron ore and other metals in their area of influence. The conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by Rome was a long process that lasted two centuries. One of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
