De Engelse vertaling van het boek "Geesten van de moeders"(ISBN 9789089730206).

The Ice Age is unknown territory for many of us. This most charming story, combined with lots of factual information, will carry you back to that distant period.
The fictitious part recounts a journey across Europe, like our ancestors would have made it 15,000 years ago, helping us visualise their living conditions and thought processes. Compassion for their fellow humans and distrust went hand in hand, just like in our days.
An extensive documentation of prehistoric sites highlights some aspects of the Magdalenian civilisation, the last one of the major Paleolithic cultures that collapsed by the onset of the Late Ice Age, because of the abruptly changing climate.
The authors originally made a name for non-specialist publications on continental drift, causing spectacular changes in landscape, climate, vegetation and fauna through hundreds of millions of years, taking the Meuse-Rhine Euregion (the borderland of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium around Aachen, Maastricht, Haaselt, Liège and Eupen) as an example.
Since 1997, they concentrate on the impact of these changes on prehistoric people in Europe. ‘Spirits of the Mothers’ is their first book dealing with this subject. «
