Love and Sexuality
The papers collected in this volume are selected from the proceedings of the Love and Sexuality conference held at the University of Leeds in 2002. They bring together a cross-section of new directions in the study of love and sexuality currently being explored in French Studies. The central focus of the collection is the representation of love, desire, erotica and sexuality in the couple, in particular in relation to depictions of women. The contributions share a common concern with problematising issues of love and sexuality across various disciplines, focusing on literary texts, cinema, gender studies, theatre studies, history, visual iconography and cultural studies, and ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day.

CORBA DEVELOPERS'S GUIDE WITH XML. CD-ROM included
While the first design goal of the XML Recommendation states that "XML shall be straightforwardly usable over the Internet," it can be demonstrated that XML has broad application in such areas as e-commerce. With this in mind, CORBA Developer's Guide with XML focuses on XML document type definition (DTD) design using the structures of CORBA to present a new perspective to programming in an object-oriented environment. This book does not teach XML but rather discusses design for experienced object-oriented developers. Programmers need to comprehend how an analysis of an environment, CORBA, assists in the design and development of XML elements, attributes, and entities that reflect that environment.
The companion CD-ROM included with this book contains a trial version of XML Authority from Extensibility, Inc., and a multimedia presentation to explain the essential concepts of the XML Recommendation.
This book:
> Reviews the popular markup language XML for designing applications appropriate for CORBAservices and CORBAfacilities.
> Discusses the significance of document type definitions (DTDs) and the Document Object Model (DOM) for the development of XML applications.
> Uses the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specifications to establish CORBA infrastructure interfaces and associated variables.
> Explains how to design Extensible Markup Language (XML) document type definitions using CORBA infrastructure.
> Includes the XML production rules, XML terms, and markup examples.

Jackie & John. Un couple impossible
"Je n'ai eu qu'une envie : l'épouser. Je n'avais qu'une peur : le perdre". Dans les heures qui ont suivi l'assassinat de son mari, Jackie Kennedy a enfin, après dix ans de mariage, crié son amour. Jackie et John. Un couple impossible, qui était trop souvent une illusion à laquelle le monde entier se laissait prendre. Ils ont été longtemps désordonnés, furieux ou indifférents selon les moments, capables de se lacérer, bouillants de colère ou de rancoeur. Au bout d'un mariage vécu entre frustrations, deuils, maladies, infidélités et rumeurs de divorce, subsistait un alliage cabossé mais enfin apaisé. Ils plaçaient leur amour au-dessus des illusions. Après la tragédie de Dallas, ce couple impossible deviendrait iconique. Bernard Pascuito retrace ici l'extraordinaire histoire d'un amour de légende couronné dans le sang le 22 novembre 1963. Et le combat insensé d'une veuve de trente-quatre ans pour protéger ses enfants et préserver la mémoire de son époux. Bernard Pascuito a publié une trentaine d'essais (Les Héritiers, Anne Carrière, 2019 ; Les politiques aussi ont une mère, Albin Michel, 2017) et de biographies dont Christophe, mon père inconnu, avec Romain Vidal (Robert Laffont, 2023), Didier Deschamps. La victoire et rien d'autre (Le Rocher, 2021 ; Litos, 2022), Belmondo entre deux vies (Robert Laffont, 2021 ; Litos, 2023), La Dernière Vie de Romy Schneider (Le Rocher, 2018 ; Le Rocher poche, 2022).

Jackie, une femme d'influence
Les 25 ans de la disparition de "Jackie O". Icône de la mode construite à coups de photos volées et de couvertures de magazines, Jackie Kennedy (1929-1994) n'est pas la vraie Jacqueline, charismatique, intelligente et drôle. Incarnant avant l'heure la soft diplomacy, sa personnalité hors du commun a marqué Khrouchtchev, de Gaulle et bien d'autres, insufflant, aux heures les plus graves de la guerre froide, courage et fierté à ses concitoyens. Grâce à elle, Washington devient un haut lieu culturel, où cette antiségrégationniste valorise les artistes et intellectuels noirs. Férue de littérature et d'histoire, elle défend le patrimoine architectural américain et sauve Grand Central, la célèbre gare de New York sur le point d'être rasée. Malgré ce destin, elle a refusé d'écrire ses mémoires, ne révélant presque rien de son rôle à la Maison Blanche. Au fil des ans, elle était pourtant devenue l'un des principaux atouts de son mari en vue de sa réélection. C'était avant le 22 novembre 1963... Un parcours retracé par Maud Guillaumin, s'inspirant des interviews et écrits laissés par cette femme exceptionnelle.

Jackie Kennedy. Un destin américain
Bien loin de l'image convenue de la femme glamour ou opprimée, généralement réduite à son statut de First Lady ou d'épouse de milliardaire, ce livre propose une vision nouvelle de Jackie Kennedy. Au-delà de la présidence et du mariage avec Aristote Onassis, Hélène Harter raconte la trajectoire exceptionnelle d'une femme qui fut d'abord une étudiante brillante, puis une photographe de presse, avant de s'affirmer comme une importante éditrice new yorkaise à partir de 1975. Elle montre comment celle qui n'avait jusque-là été qu'une "fille de" puis "femme de" , s'affirme alors comme une "working girl" au grand scandale de l'establishment. Jackie incarne ainsi, à sa manière, l'évolution de la place de la femme dans la société américaine.

Songs of Love. 12 Romances. 12 Lieder. Soprano (tenor) and piano.
Leokadiya Kashperova (1872-1940), hitherto consigned to a footnote in musical history as Stravinsky's piano teacher, is undergoing rediscovery. A double graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatoire, she emerged as a virtuoso pianist and composer in the romantic tradition. She was associated with some of the great musicians of her day, including Balakirev and Auer. She performed in both Germany and the UK in the 1900s, but her career petered out after 1920. Songs of Love was first published in 1904. No evidence survives of any public performance in Kashperova's lifetime although it is very likely that they were performed at her regular 'musical evenings at home on Tuesdays' mentioned in her Memoirs. The transparency of the piano writing strongly suggests that she would accompany herself singing. Kashperova, by all accounts, possessed a fine voice, and in the summer of 1906 she decided 'to learn from the artistry', as she put it, of the tenor Raimond von Zur-Mühlen who was widely celebrated for having developed (with Clara Schumann) the Lieder-Abend tradition. His summer-schools on the Baltic coast were frequented by aspiring singers from all over Europe, even Japan and India. Kashperova herself was responsible for the poetic lyrics of Songs of Love (in both Russian and German), which may well have emerged from her own bittersweet experience of life and love ; she was not to marry until 1916 at the age of forty-four. That Kashperova is the author of both the music and the lyrics of Songs of Love would suggest that they express very personal sentiments. Instrumentation : soprano (tenor) and piano

Histoire de l'art
Paris Moderne, 1914-1945. Art - Design - Architecture - Photography - Literature - Cinema - Fashion
Whether at peace or at war, Paris during the first half of the twentieth century pulsated with frenzied energy. Creatives from across Europe flocked to the French capital where they had free rein to experiment with innovative forms of expression. Inspired by the challenge made possible through technological advances and market expectations, members from every artistic discipline-art, design, architecture, photography, fashion, and cinema-forged the new face of this resolutely modern city. A kaleidoscopic portrait of this exhilarating artistic surge is documented here in dictionary form, through biographical profiles of nearly one hundred leading creators, including Josephine Baker, Coco Chanel, Le Corbusier, Tamara de Lempicka, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Man Ray, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Helena Rubinstein, and Gertrude Stein. The richly illustrated volume is completed with a photographic journal of Paris today by Antonio Martinelli, retracing the incredible architectural and urban landscape that still bears the hallmarks of this wildly prodigious period.

Covenant and Liberation
This book springs from the practical interaction of two absorbing interests : in covenant, thanks to many years of lecturing on the Scriptures, in which covenants provide a sure road from start to finish of the Bible ; and in liberation, an interest sharpened by more than a decade of working in a Lima parish with people struggling desperately to break free from the cycle of poverty, oppression and premature death. Theirs is part of the struggle for liberation throughout Latin America and many other parts of our global home. Reflecting with the poor on their situation in the light of the Scriptures has led to a fuller realization that covenant and liberation are two sides of the same coin - liberation is for covenant, and covenant is to consolidate and promote freedom as befits God's family. First comes a synthesis of the biblical covenants, indicating their continuity but also the unique characteristics of each one. Special attention is paid to the new covenant, often reflected in terms of kingdom, community, family and mutual love. Then it is indicated how new light may be drawn from such a central biblical theme in order to view correctly and share personally in today's liberation struggles.

Sur les traces de Jackie Chan
Qui peut réunir dans un même livre un critique de cinéma émérite, une ex-star du cinéma pornographique, un cascadeur de génie, un ancien coach sportif, une comédienne aussi talentueuse que renommée et un écrivain fou de cinéma asiatique ? La réponse pourra surprendre de prime abord, avant de devenir évidente : Jackie Chan ! En 2017, après 15 années où ses films n'avaient presque jamais atteint les écrans français, sort l'excellent The Foreigner. Jackie Chan, 63 ans, se rappelle à nos bons souvenirs et, dès lors, François Barge-Prieur a une idée folle : celle d'aller retrouver son idole de jeunesse ; de partir Sur les traces de Jackie Chan. Commence alors pour lui un voyage à la rencontre d'autres passionnés (avec, au casting, Charles Tesson, Céline Tran, Cyril Raffaelli, Eric Faber, Cécile de France), mais aussi à la rencontre de lui-même et de ses propres souvenirs. Plongée dans la nostalgie des vidéo-clubs et des magnétoscopes, de la découverte du cinéma asiatique et d'une passion qui a commencé il y a un quart de siècle... Journal de bord d'une enquête minutieuse et d'une quête insensée... Sur les traces de Jackie Chan est tout cela et même plus encore. Et, au gré des récits qui se croisent et du livre qui se crée, se dessine en creux le portrait du plus grand génie du cinéma comique d'action. A la fin, François Barge-Prieur rencontrera-t-il son idole ? Suspense...

The Quest for Modernity
The work of Arno Holz embraces a wide diversity of literary forms ranging from activist poetry and Naturalist prose to formalism and experimental writing. By tracing Holz's persistent concern with form and relating him to literary developments in the twentieth century this study assesses the claim made by Holz himself and reiterated by literary criticism in the sixties that he was the real pioneer of modernism in German literature.

Green Plants. Their Origin and Diversity, 2nd Edition
The central theme of Green Plants is the astonishing diversity of forms found in the plant kingdom, from the simplicity of prokaryotic algae to the myriad complexities of flowering plants. To help the reader appreciate this remarkable diversity, the book is arranged according to generally accepted classification schemes, beginning with algae (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic) and moving through liverworts, hornworts, mosses, fern allies, ferns and gymnosperms to flowering plants. Copiously illustrated throughout with clear line diagrams and instructive photographs, Green Plants provides a concise account of all algae and land plants, with information on topics from cellular structure to life cycles and reproduction. The authors maintain a refreshingly cautious and objective approach in discussions of possible phylogenetic relationships. Newly emerging information on features of plants known only as fossils is included, providing as complete a history as possible of the plant kingdom. Throughout the book there are many references to ultrastructural and physiological features which relate growth and form to current concepts in the study of plant development. This new edition has been completely updated to reflect current views on the origin of the major groups of plants and includes information arising from more recently developed techniques such as cladistic analyses. As such, it provides an up-to-date and timely resource for students of botany, and also for researchers needing a comprehensive reference to the plant kingdom.

Jacki est sage, c'est un récit tout en délicatesse. Des détails qui émergent du silence, des moments magiques ou dérisoires, des "je me souviens" partagés. Jacki est sage, c'est une vie en fragments, tendres, cocasses et parfois crus, l'histoire d'un philosophe-artiste, d'un "professeur d'incertitude" doublé d'un éternel amoureux. Jacki est sage, c'est un texte sans temps mort, écrit dans une langue simple et belle, où l'on glisse sans cesse de l'humour à l'émotion. Jacques Sojcher est professeur émérite de philosophie à l'Université Libre de Bruxelles. Il est l'auteur de nombreux recueils de poésie chez Fata Morgana et d'essais comme La Démarche poétique, Esthétique de Nietzsche, Paul Delvaux ou la passion puérile.

The discovery of magic
Queen Vispa and King Dungammei are the beloved rulers of their respective kingdoms. The two territories live in harmony, sharing a temple that crosses their mutual border, but they pray to different gods and have little in common outside of geography. The monarchs seem an unlikely pair, but when each violates the rules of the temple - one by entering the temple as a woman, and the other by praying to the other kingdom's god - both find themselves abandoned by their people, deciding soon after to declare the approval and presence of both gods in their hearts, as well as their love for each other. The King and Queen's subjects also abandon the shared temple, leaving it to the disobedient pair and building separate temples in their own territories. The monarchs' happy life together is, however, short-lived, as Queen Vispa dies upon giving birth to their child Delarai. The King is urged to repent and return to his kingdom. He complies, leaving princess Delarai with Magi, a nurse from a remote village, to raise her. Delarai rows up in near isolation, far from other people, spending most of her time among flowers and animals of the beautiful temple garden. Meanwhile, battles rage between the two kingdoms following the King's return. Delaware, a son begotten to the King and his next wife, gets badly wounded some years later in an attempt to stop the fighting. On his deathbed, the Prince insists on being taken to the forbidden temple to be buried there. The King, though ill himself, agrees to fulfill his son's dying wish. It is there where Delarai, having become quite an expert at herbal remedies, comes to their aid, preparing a special potion while praying to the temple's two gods in her nurse Magi's native language. As Delarai completes the life-saving act of curing the Prince, she tries to call for Magi, but the word that leaves her lips is "magic". Those who witness the event soon spread the word, and Delarai becomes recognized across both kingdoms as the creator of magic. The King, however, succumbs to old age, imparting his last kernel of wisdom unto his daughter : the two temple gods are one and the same. With this knowledge and their newfound inner strength, Delarai and Delaware unify the two kingdoms, and live happily ever after.

A History of Arcadia in Art and Literature: Volume II. Later Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism
Longtemps attendu et extrêmement bien accueilli, A History of Arcadia de Paul Holberton constitue l'examen approfondi et minutieux d'un grand nombre de textes originaux de poésie pastorale classique des époques moderne et contemporaine, de littérature et de théâtre en grec ancien, en latin, en italien, en français, en espagnol, en portugais, en néerlandais, en allemand et en anglais et d'un large éventail d'images prenant fin juste avant 1800. L'ouvrage analyse le développement de la pastorale comme moyen de représentation du bonheur humain sur Terre à travers la cour réciproque entre un garçon et une fille, et leurs sentiments auxquels la pastorale de l'époque donne voix. This tremendous book is an iconographic study of Renaissance and Baroque pastoral and related subject matter, with an important chapter on the 18th century, both in the visual arts, where pastoral is very poorly understood, and in words and performance, about which many false preconceptions prevail. The study begins with Virgil's use of Theocritus and an analysis of what basis Virgil provided for Renaissance pastoral and what, by contrast, stemmed from the medieval pastourelle. Pastoral developed notably in the Venetian High Renaissance. Its texts incorporated Petrarchist and Neoplatonic ideas of love, of which this book charts the development and evolution with unprecedented precision, considering also the female nude in art. There is a novel and polemical discussion of the development of landscape subjects in art, from Giorgione to Claude. The contributions of the most influential or representative authors - Petrarch, Sannazaro, Montemayor, Tasso, Guarino, Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Honoré d'Urfé, Cornelis de Hooft, Shakespeare and lastly Salomon Gessner - are considered beside many interesting more minor ones - Arsocchi, Bernardim Ribeiro, Clément Marot, Cieco d'Adria, John Fletcher, Fontenelle - and the verses of madrigals. There is a chapter on 'Being Rural' - what we can say about the reality of life in the country in the early modern period. There is a chapter on 'Et in Arcadia Ego' that introduces new evidence for the dating of Poussin's famous work by reference to a neglected work by Sébastien Bourdon in Yale ; another on a pastoral composition by Rubens that has not been considered as such. There is an important and bold discussion of self-projection ('metachronic' representation) by monarchs and courtiers across Europe in the 17th century, both within pastoral and without, which illuminates profound differences between Protestant and Catholic culture. Coming from the study of earlier periods, the author is able to throw new light on the Rococo - figures such as John Gay, Watteau, Gessner and Gainsborough - and to explain the termination of pastoral writing and art with the embrace of modernity in form and means of expression. All texts are given in the original language and all translated into English, while the visuals are beautifully reproduced : the book is also an anthology.
