Speculum Mortis: The Image of Death in Late Medieval Bohemian Painting

This study analyzes late medieval paintings of personified death in Bohemia, arguing that Bohemian iconography was distinct from the body of macabre painting found in other Central European regions during the same period.

How Light Makes Life: The Hidden Wonders and World-Saving Powers of Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the conversion of sunlight into chemical energy, which involves an indescribably intricate collection of biological processes. This book does not explore this beautiful and complex machinery. Instead, it looks at what the value and the impact of this “green stuff” is, for people and for the planet. This book is not intended for teaching purposes. It definitely will not suffice as reference material and it will skip over vast bodies of brilliant research.


Stand Off at High Noon

In Standoff at High Noon, the sequel to Old West Showdown, coauthors Kellen Cutsforth and Bill Markley again investigate ten well-known, controversial stories from the Old West. Through their opposing viewpoints, learn more about notorious figures and infamous events, including the controversial death of Davy Crockett at the Alamo; the life and death of Sacagawea who assisted Lewis and Clark on their Corps of Discovery Expedition; the tragic fate of the Donner Party snowbound in the Sierra Nevada; the assassination of Wild Bill Hickok; Arizona's Lost Dutchman Mine; and the controversy over Butch Cassidy's death in South America. No matter whose side you are on, there's always something new to discover about the mythic Old West.


The Nordic Beowulf

The one existing manuscript of Beowulf very narrowly escaped the devastating fire that ravaged the Cotton Library at Ashburnham House in Westminster, London, on 23 October 1731, apparently by being thrown out of a window at the last minute. As the wall behind the bookcase in which the manuscript was kept had started to burn, most of its leaves are badly scorched along their outer edges. The manuscript has been very fragile ever since, and has been restored on several occasions since the middle of the nineteenth century, one of them very recent (Harrison 2009). After the fire it was transferred to the British Museum, but it has now belonged for many years to the British Library.Today, Beowulf may seem to be one of a kind, but in the world in which it was once created, it might perhaps have been no more unique than a star in the heavens. The metre of the poem corresponds to an archaic, common Germanic fornyrðislag. Roughly the same metre is found in the Heliand and the Hildebrandslied and in early eddic poetry, and can be made out in some Scandinavian runic inscriptions from the Migration Period. The basic story of the poem is well known. It consists of three main parts, the first of which is linked to the second, which is in turn linked to the third

Quel avenir pour les valeurs démocratiques ? Le 24 février 2022 marque déjà l'histoire du XXIe siècle. L'invasion russe de l'Ukraine ébranle les valeurs démocratiques. Car cette guerre en Ukraine est celle d'un autocrate contre la démocratie.

Un legs honni par Poutine et un « étranger proche » livré aux défis de la transition démocratique. Cinq experts des réformes démocratiques et de l'ex-espace soviétique appréhendent ici la gouvernance démocratique et son avenir.

A World of Women


An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West

For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West—and Britain—today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

A desperate chase that will bend the fabric of reality ensues, where Czevak's only hope of survival is to outwit the chosen of Tzeentch, Lord of Chaos and Architect of Fate. Failure is unconscionable, the very cost to the Imperium unimaginable.

Fiscalité provinciale en R.D. Congo

Regard sur les mécanismes de mise en oeuvre et de performance de la décentralisation fiscale. La fiscalité foncière et la fiscalité immobilière peuvent jouer un rôle important dans la mise en application de la décentralisation fiscale et le développement socio-économique des entités décentralisées. Elles constituent une source de recettes de provenance locale particulièrement intéressante pour les pouvoirs provinciaux. Mais la plupart des réformes ne s'en vont pas sans problèmes et les impôts fonciers et ceux sur les revenus locatifs relevant de la fiscalité locale ne font pas exception. L'approche pluridisciplinaire adoptée dans cet ouvrage a permis de déceler les différents situations-problèmes de mise en oeuvre de la fiscalité locale en RDC ainsi que quelques pistes de solution. Cet ouvrage se veut un instrument d'information pour toute personne s'intéressant aux questions de fiscalité locale.


Fou d’Ahlam

Pendant dix-sept mois, Elian, jeune professeur de philosophie engagé dans les tumultes de son temps en Algérie, attend avec impatience son premier rendez-vous avec Ahlam (le nom signifiant « rêves » en arabe). Cette ravissante étudiante en médecine n’a de cesse d’allumer les lampes inextinguibles de son insomnie. Mais la pandémie survient, et les autorités algériennes annoncent le début du confinement le jour même de cette première sortie avec Ahlam. Les obstacles et les interdits qui se dressent devant les deux amoureux sont plus grands que jamais. La jeunesse et l’audace suffiront-elles pour surmonter les peurs, quand la répression politique, de surcroît, bat son plein ? Louenas Hassani décrit avec sensibilité le rêve et la marche de la jeunesse algérienne pour se sortir de la dictature. Il aborde du même souffle la condition des femmes dans une société utraconservatrice, la place de l’altérité au milieu de l’urgence sanitaire et, surtout, il fait voir comment l’amour et les simples et tendres choses de la vie deviennent des outils de dépassement, des petites clairières qui cultivent des espoirs nouveaux. Louenas Hassani est né à Bejaia, en Kabylie maritime. Il a quitté l’Algérie en 2001 pour poursuivre ses études en France, à Paris. En 2006, il immigre au Québec. Il enseigne présentement dans une école francophone à Ottawa. Il a déjà publié deux romans aux Éditions L’Interligne, La coureuse des vents (2016) et La république de l’abîme (2017).


Genre et médias - Quelles représentations ?


Géopolitique de l'Eurasie

Avant et depuis 1991 - Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée. En février 2022, la Russie a envahi l'Ukraine. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? Depuis 1998-1999, les crises se succèdent au sein et autour de l'ex-soviétique, c'est-à-dire l'espace eurasien. De même entre la Russie et l'Occident, au point qu'on parle de « nouvelle guerre froide ». Pour comprendre la configuration actuelle, il importe de retourner à 1991, l'année de la dissolution de l'URSS, et, plus avant, à 1917, l'année de l'effondrement de l'Empire russe, puis 1922, l'année de la création de l'Union Soviétique. L'Empire russe comme l'URSS étaient des formes d'unité politique de l'Eurasie. L'URSS n'était cependant pas qu'un Etat-continent eurasien ; elle était aussi un Parti-Etat universaliste ; celui-ci a entraîné celui-là dans sa chute. Depuis, un gigantesque bras de fer se déroule entre la logique centrifuge de balkanisation de l'Eurasie, ou de consolidation de l'indépendance des Etats postsoviétiques, et la logique centripète d'unité de l'Eurasie, ou de préservation de l'hégémonie panrusse. Face au roll back occidental, se substituant au containment, le Kremlin, depuis Poutine, mène une double politique « eurasienne » et « eurasiatique », s'inspirant de « l'eurasisme ».


Géopolitique de l'Ukraine, De la Perestroïka Gorbatchévienne à 2022

De la perestroïka gorbatchévienne à 2022 - Les douze failles internes de l'Ukraine indépendante. Contrairement à une tendance lourde et perdurante des mass-médias qui traitent presque exclusivement de l'Ukraine à travers ses relations avec Moscou et la problématique gazière, l'auteur investit ici ses champs politique, économique, social, national (historique, linguistique, religieux), stratégique et territorial, tant pour la faire connaître que pour établir un bilan entre ses atouts et ses faiblesses internes propres, notamment face au péril extérieur contemporain auquel elle est confrontée. Ce volume constitue le deuxième volet d'une trilogie, débutée avec Géopolitique passée et présente de l'Ukraine. Le poids de la géohistoire sur l'Ukraine (Connaissances et savoirs, 2019), et sera suivi d'un troisième destiné à couvrir le rôle d'enjeu international de ce pays et s'achevant par une analyse prospective.

Myriam Sylvie Ambomo & Benjamin Alexandre Nkoum

De la conception à l'opérationnalisation - Cas des hôpitaux camerounais. Les performances des techniques d'investigation en santé influencent la pratique infirmière. L'agir infirmier s'inscrit alors dans une complexité susceptible de remettre en cause la qualité des soins. À l'observation, et au cours des entretiens menés auprès du personnel infirmier des hôpitaux du Cameroun, la personne malade se sent traitée comme objet des soins, avec une faible considération de sa dignité, du fait de sa pathologie ou de sa situation sociale.

L'auberge des musiciens

L'Auberge des musiciens sont les mémoires de Léon Poliakov parues en 1981.L'Auberge des musiciens était le nom de code du "Café de la belote" un café-restaurant-épicerie de la Ville de La Ricamarie, faubourg de Saint-Etienne. Robert Paul, pseudonyme de Léon Poliakov dans la clandestinité durant la deuxième guerre mondiale et l'occupation de la France par les forces armées du IIIe Reich épaulées par leurs supplétifs du régime de Vichy, y trouva souvent refuge et devint membre d'un réseau de résistants en compagnie du propriétaire des lieux, devenu son ami pour la vie, Oswaldo Bardone2. Un long chapitre des mémoires de Léon Poliakov est consacré à cet épisode de sa vie3, mais l'ouvrage aborde aussi son enfance russe, son adolescence et son passage à l'âge adulte en Allemagne puis en France, et ce qu'il est devenu ensuite, un historien de réputation mondiale.  Publié par les éditions Mazarine en 1981, l'ouvrage est réédité avec un autre titre (Léon Poliakov, Mémoires) en 1999 par les éditions Grancher.


L’urbanisme corse en questions

Quels peuvent être les effets de la mondialisation des grands territoires, de l'industrialisation galopante, de la croissance exponentielle des populations, sur le territoire méditerranéen insulaire qu'est la Corse, en quête d'identité et de préservation ? On veut saisir la réalité de ces villes en devenir, par des voies qui ne sont pas toujours mathématiques ; parce que les hommes avancent dans le monde, en se donnant des référentiels provisoires, qui ne sont pas des vérités absolues, mais des rituels, par lesquels des groupes se scindent, se rassurent, s'entraident et donnent naissance à leur culture, quelquefois sur des mythes ou des croyances sans réalité scientifique, en quête de survie et parfois de bonheur. Il s'agit ici de proposer un mode d'investir le territoire urbain à partir d'un travail cognitif et sémiologique sur les formes prégnantes architecturales et urbaines qui ont marqué le visage et l'âme de l'île et favoriser une acculturation tout en ouvrant les perspectives vers une fabrication de la modernité, qui tire ses leçons des erreurs du passé, pour habiter et cultiver.


La coopération sanitaire internationale face au virus Ebola

Le cas de l'épidémie de 2018-2020 en RD Congo. Depuis sa découverte en 1976, la communauté internationale a longtemps entretenu un rapport distancié avec le virus Ebola. Sa conversion en menace sécuritaire lors de la flambée épidémique de 2014-2016 en Afrique de l'Ouest va agir comme un puissant vecteur de coopération sanitaire internationale, dont bénéficiera l'épidémie de 2018-2020 en RDC. L'action volontariste s'est néanmoins heurtée aux défaillances des systèmes de santé nationaux et aux retards en matière de recherche et développement pharmaceutiques. Ce livre s'interroge sur les stratégies et actions du système sanitaire international impliquées en amont et durant la crise sanitaire que représente Ebola en RDC. À travers l'épidémie d'Ebola en RDC, ce livre propose une analyse du traitement sécuritaire des menaces épidémiques et souligne le caractère impérieux de solutions durables face aux défis épidémiques à venir.

Florian Pons & Sina Safadi-Katouzian & Chloë Vidal


New York 2140

Une vision audacieuse et brillante de la ville de New York au siècle prochain, finaliste du prix Hugo, catégorie « meilleur roman ».Avec l'élévation du niveau des mers, chaque avenue est devenue un canal, chaque gratte-ciel, une île. Pour les habitants d'un immeuble de Madison Square, cependant, New York en 2140 est loin d'être seulement une cité submergée par les eaux.Il y a le trader, qui trouve des opportunités là où d'autres voient des problèmes.

Mélasse de fantaisie


Margaret Thatcher

Construction d'une image politique. Première femme Premier ministre de Sa Majesté, battant le record de longévité à ce poste, Margaret Thatcher - fille d'épicier méthodiste qui termina baronne à la Chambre des lords - fut une figure majeure de la scène politique occidentale dans le dernier tiers du XXe siècle. Une permanente impeccable, des déclarations sans appel, une volonté inébranlable, un nom associé à un ensemble doctrinal et une pratique gouvernementale qui déclenchèrent admiration et détestation, la mémoire de Margaret Thatcher reste vive au Royaume Uni comme en dehors. « L'histoire passionnante que nous raconte Yves Golder et qui fourmille d'anecdotes méconnues, est celle d'une femme qui n'a cessé de lutter avec et contre son identité. C'est aussi l'histoire d'une entreprise permanente et éreintante de construction de son image, de déconstruction (par les médias) et de reconstruction a posteriori, qui révèle chez celle qui a pourtant été surnommée la Dame de fer une obsession du contrôle mais aussi une vulnérabilité insoupçonnée. » (Agnès Alexandre-Collier, Préface)

Les TIC dans le système éducatif camerounais

Cas de l'enseignement secondaire. L'avènement des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC) a créé beaucoup de secousses dès l'an 2000. Plusieurs secteurs, y compris celui névralgique de l'éducation, se sont vus influencer par ces technologies. Nous avons trouvé intéressant d'apprécier l'intégration et l'état des lieux des TIC dans l'enseignement au Cameroun. Les ressources pour une implémentation des TIC pour l'Enseignement (TICE) semblent limitées, mal structurées et négligées. Ce travail permet de revoir l'évolution des TICE au Cameroun. Les moyens déployés, les mutations didactiques et les limites pour l'intégration des TIC dans le système éducatif sont soulevés. L'impact chiffré des TICE dans le processus d'enseignement/apprentissage au Cameroun est présenté.

Les révoltes sociales au Cameroun

Violence et antiviolence. Les actions contestataires contemporaines au Cameroun trouvent leur fondement dans l'héritage colonial. Une étude approfondie de celles-ci aboutit sur le fait que l'histoire du Cameroun sous administration française et britannique a structuré la sphère sociopolitique de sorte qu'il faut y retourner pour trouver l'origine du modèle actuel des soulèvements que connaît ce pays. En examinant les signes précurseurs des émeutes et les formes possibles de leur dénouement, en passant par les accrochages entre grévistes et forces de défense et de sécurité, ce livre montre que les révoltes sociales traduisent toujours le sentiment d'un malaise et la volonté d'oser le changement. Dans le registre de la réplique de la violence légitime à la délinquance des émeutiers, les médias « sociaux » rivalisent d'information et de désinformations préjudiciables à l'opinion publique.


Les catastrophes au Cameroun

Yves Joseph Zoa Zoa & Gaston Bessala & Martin Fouda

Implications et gestion. Les catastrophes constituent d'importants événements soudains et violents qui produisent des bouleversements graves pour l'environnement, les infrastructures, les groupes humains. Le Cameroun qui affiche une diversité orographique, géologique, hydrographique, démographique, faunique, économique et culturelle est concerné et les graves dysfonctionnements des espaces ou des sociétés causés par des catastrophes impactent le Cameroun et ses populations par la violence, les effets psychologiques et les coûts qu'ils entraînent. Ces catastrophes fragilisent les individus, les communautés culturelles et économiques des populations et déclenchent des mouvements migratoires et l'utilisation impromptue des ressources publiques ; elles imposent une redéfinition de la planification économique et culturelle.

There are a million reasons why I should stay away, but I’m tired of doing what everyone thinks I should do.I finally know what I want, and I’m ready to take what’smine.

Electrically conductive biodegradable polymer blends and composites

Ravi Prakash Magisetty, Aarsha Surendren, Naga Srilatha Cheekuramelli, Radhamanohar Aepuru

The utilization of polymeric materials is increasing rapidly due to their functional characteristics in rendered potential applications and has become a part of everyday life. Recently, electrically conducting polymers have been successfully employed in various electronic applications, including photovoltaics (PVs) (Sims et al., 2012), light-emitting devices (LEDs) (Mathai et al., 2002), and field-effect transistors (FETs) (Horowitz, 1998). However, the environment and the ecosystem’s sustainable developments require electrical conducting biodegradable polymeric systems. These biodegradable materials are useful also in the field of biomedical engineering. The additional functionality of biocompatibility facilitates possible biomedication with a compatible biological system (Grainger, 1999). Therefore, researchers are looking for alternatives as electrically conductive biodegradable polymers, blends, and composites (Bogoeva-Gaceva & Dimko, 2013).

And of course, now she's finally with Josh—a perfect boyfriend who doesn't even mind that she's dead. But being dead has its disadvantages, too. Madison feels caught between the light and the dark, and between her real life and her timekeeper status. When Madison has the opportunity to get her body back—to be alive again—she faces her most difficult decision yet. If she claims it, she could return to being a normal girl—and have a chance at a real relationship with Josh. But would having the one thing she wants most in the world also mean giving up everything she's worked so hard for?

Nueva visita a un mundo feliz

«Nueva visita a un mundo feliz» es una recopilación de ensayos (publicados en la revista «Newsday») sobre la novela «Un mundo feliz» (1932), de Aldous Huxley, en donde el mismo autor analiza casi treinta años después (1958) los contenidos tratados en su novela, verificando así sus aciertos y errores a la hora de contemplar la evolución de la civilización occidental durante dicho lapso. En dicha obra, hace muchas referencias a otra gran distopía, la novela «1984», de George Orwell.
