Brides on Sale
Beginning in the 1990s large numbers of women from Mainland China and Southeast Asia married men in Taiwan. They now number over 400,000, warranting some to call them "Taiwan's Fifth Ethnic Group". This book argues that the rise of these marriages is a gendered and relational phenomenon, linked to the forces of globalization. Traditional ideas of marriage, such as the belief that a woman "marries out" of her natal family to be dependent upon her husband and his family, and the idea that a man should "marry down" to a woman of a lesser social and economic status, have not kept pace with changes in women's educational and career opportunities. How these relationships are formed, how they impact gendered understandings of women and men, how families are constituted and relationships developed, and how they affect the children of these families and their education, are the issues explored in this book. It breaks new ground in our understanding of transnational and cross-border marriages by looking at the long-term effects of such marriages on communities, families, and individuals.

Andrea Sacchi and Cardinal del Monte. The Rediscovered Frescoes in the Palazzo di Ripetta in Rome
This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book presents for the first time the rediscovered frescoes painted by Andrea Sacchi (1599-1661) for the loggia of Cardinal del Monte's Roman palace near via di Ripetta, Rome. Considered lost by generations of scholars, Andrea Sacchi's fresco cycle has survived in a private apartment in Rome. Largely unpublished and rarely mentioned in recent literature, the frescoes underwent a revelatory restoration in 2010-11. For the past three years, the author was granted exclusive access to study them thoroughly - resulting in this monograph. Accompanied by beautiful and full photographic documentation, this study aims to compare the painted images with the detailed description given by the biographer Giovan Pietro Bellori ; to shed light on the iconography and style, above all with respect to the sources used ; and to integrate this key commission within Sacchi's early career. The cycle's iconography is explored with careful verification of early sources that now allows us to resolve some particularly complex problems of interpretation - above all those relating to alchemy. Cardinal del Monte's Palazzo di Ripetta housed a fully equipped pharmacological laboratory. Research on this cycle of frescoes has also made it possible to discover new archival evidence regarding Sacchi's date and place of birth.

Moroccan tracks Volume 11. The sagho djebel
The Sagho djebel is the eastern extension of the Anti-Atlas, a volcanic mountain with granitic mamelons, basaltic organs, chaos of black shales, pink sandstones... at the gates of the Sahara. As far as the eye can see, large wild, arid spaces. A desolate land made for the lonely DPM. And for a thousand miles around, silence is the only companion. Absolute plenitude and the desire to take to the track. From flat expanses to rolling hills, from sharp relief to steep canyons : pure, original nature. The character is strong, rustic but the heart is soft. The colours are soft and gentle. Ochre, pink, brown, violet, the colour chart stretches in a gradation of shimmering pastels, sometimes accompanied by an overwhelming heat. Eldorado in the heart of the desert, rare are the oases ; modest green spots in the infinitely large, they are the reminders that we are on African soil. The wild charm of the Sagho is due to its exceptional geology : high cliffs and steep peaks, tabular escarpments and deep canyons in the middle of which caravans of camels and mules circulate. When you arrive on these immense plateaus, the lunar horizon is so vast that you want to go everywhere at once to see if it is really as beautiful elsewhere ! The Sagho also surprises by the richness of its lights : limpid like those of the nearby Sahara, or sometimes in half-tone, as in the neighbouring Dades valley. The Sagho is also the Morocco of the last Berber nomads, descendants of the ancient lords Aït Atta. In autumn, after leaving the snows of the High Atlas, they set up their dark wool tents on the slopes of the jebel until spring. They can neither read nor write, but they are sure of their way through the Atlas Mountains and the Moroccan desert. In the Sagho, they have built houses of unbaked stone, dug wells, planted almond trees, grown wheat, barley and various vegetables. Others built herds of goats and sheep, and caravans of camels. Most of them are now sedentary, semi-nomadic or nomadic...

Fantastic Beasts in Antiquity. Looking for the monster, discovering the Human, Textes en français et anglais
Not satisfied with what nature offered, human beings wanted to go beyond reality and invented mysterious and intriguing creatures populating their world. During Antiquity, every culture had its own strange creatures, that mixed the forms of one or more animal, plant and human species in an infinite number of more-or-less fanciful combinations. Griffins, sphinxes, mermaids, centaurs, satyrs, pygmies, werewolves, winged monsters and unspeakable hybrids, fantastic beasts abound in the imagination of many populations throughout Antiquity. Most of them continue to live, sometimes transformed, through fairy tales, literature, movies and videogames. Faced with the abundance and variety of the ancient fantastic bestiary, the questions that come to mind are : Where do fantastic beasts come from ? How do they appear in different cultures ? What is their history, how did they survive until now ? And above all, what are fantastic beasts ? This book will explore these questions through the lens of archaeology, art history, philology and philosophy. The result is a hybrid book, precisely like the fantastic animals that constitute its object, a book which offers different approaches of analysis while being aware that our means are often vain to capture these elusive figures, which ultimately are more like us than they seem. Man, like Oedipus, will often prove to be more monstrous than the Sphinx...

Charles Darwin's Zoology Notes & Specimen Lists from H.M.S. Beagle
Two long sets of scientific notes were made by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. Those transcribed here are concerned with natural history, and although in 1839 he drew on them quite extensively in writing his famous " Journal of Researches ", neither they nor his geology notes have previously been published. He was a superb observer, and recorded vividly and accurately his first impressions of the appearance and behaviour of the wide range of animals, from ants to ostriches, encountered during his travels. Often he performed little experiments on the creatures that he captured, and he was never happy until he had exhaustively explored the why and wherefore of every one of his observations. During the long periods on board ship, he carried out a thorough analysis of hitherto unrecognised features of the internal anatomy of a variety of marine invertebrates, and made elegant pencil drawings of them under his dissecting microscope. The volume also includes his lists of 1 500 specimens preserved in Spirits of Wine, and some 3 500 not in Spirits, with impeccably accurate cross references to the main notes. Although his notes were made strictly for his own use, and were often highly technical, they were well written throughout, and contain many highly readable passages. Only towards the very end of the voyage were his first doubts about the immutability of species consciously pressed, but here are to be found the first seeds of his theory of evolution, and of the important new fields of behavioural and ecological study of which he was one of the principal founders.

Cuvier's History of the Natural Sciences - the Eighteenth Century
"L'histoire des sciences naturelles depuis leur origine jusqu'à nos jours" est présentée ici pour la première fois en édition bilingue. Ce volume, amplement annoté et commenté, est le quatrième d'une série de cinq tomes regroupant les cours professés par Georges Cuvier de 1829 à 1832. Cette étude de grande envergure couvre de manière chronologique l'histoire des sciences naturelles au XVIIIe siècle. Le lecteur a ainsi accès à l'atelier historique de Georges Cuvier. Loin d'être une activité lui paraissant annexe au regard de ses travaux d'anatomiste, Cuvier y consacra un temps important, consultant de très nombreux ouvrages en de multiples langues (anglais, allemand, espagnol, latin, français). Elle lui conférait aussi une grande notoriété. Prononcées au Collège de France, ces leçons s'adressaient à un public large et consacraient son magistère sur les sciences naturelles de l'époque. Cuvier y présentait l'histoire des sciences comme une marche continue dont il scandait le développement. Il considérait les siècles ici étudiés comme une période de profonds changements. Louant la lutte contre les "dogmatismes religieux, il en faisait le vecteur d'une nouvelle liberté de pensée et d'écrire. Reléguant l'étude des anciens, les sciences naturelles seraient ainsi entrées dans un nouvel âge, celui de l'observation et de la classification.

Italy and Tito’s Yugoslavia in the Age of International Détente
World War II and East-West confrontation redefined borders between Italy and Yugoslavia, reshaped national frontiers and adversely affected political relations. As a result, major quarrels and disputes arose over territorial claims, demarcation of State boundaries, expulsion of national minorities, and diverging visions on international and domestic politics. It was only in the 1960s and 1970s, during the years of Détente, that rapprochement between Rome and Belgrade became possible and normalization of bilateral relations was attained. Long-lasting territorial disputes, such as the Trieste question, were solved and bilateral relationship greatly improved, so much so that Belgrade became an important asset in Italy's Balkan and Adriatic strategy, while Rome was a sort of bridge between Socialist Yugoslavia and Western Europe. This book is intended to shed light on the process of Italian-Yugoslav normalization and rapprochement, which ultimately brought to the Adriatic Détente. Based on a wide collection of primary sources and documentary materials, it aims to contribute to a better understanding of the history of the Adriatic region, a conflicted European space that had been affected by territorial disputes and ethnic strife for decades during the 20th century.

Media and Education in the Digital Age
This book is an invitation to informed and critical participation in the current debate on the role of digital technology in education and a comprehensive introduction to the most relevant issues in this debate. After an early wave of enthusiasm about the emancipative opportunities of the digital "revolution" in education, recent contributions invite caution, if not scepticism. This collection rejects extreme interpretations and establishes a conceptual framework for the critical questioning of this role in terms of concepts, assessments and subversions. This book offers conceptual tools, ideas and insights for further research. It also provides motivation and information to foster active participation in debates and politics and encourages teachers, parents and learners to take part in the making of the future of our societies.

The Red Rat in Hollywood Tome 8
L'histoire américaine a basculé vers un refus de l'intolérance. Un nouveau président fascine l'Amérique, en la personne de J. F. Kennedy, les lois de ségrégations raciales reculent et, dans une salle de cinéma projetant le film Spartacus, Dalton Trumbo voit enfin son nom écrit sur l'écran. L'Amérique sent passer un vent de liberté sur son cinéma qui s'affranchit de ses peurs, et ce sont respectivement les sorties d'Exodus, La Planète des singes, Lawrence d'Arabie, Mash et Le Sel de la Terre qui achèvent de briser le plafond de verre républicain conservateur. Mais la chasse aux communistes n'a pas pour autant disparu de la société américaine, alors qu'un nouveau conflit se profile à l'horizon : Cuba. Dans un style enlevé, collant à l'ambiance hystérique de l'époque racontée, l'auteur continue de mêler avec talent la société, la politique et l'artistique, dressant en creux un portrait des travers et qualités de l'humain.

The Alps 1900. A Portrait in Color
"Rien n'est comparable aux Alpes" , écrit le grand historien Jules Michelet en 1868. Au coeur de l'Europe, l'énorme massif des Alpes compte quelques-uns des sites naturels les plus grandioses du monde - le mont Blanc, la Jungfrau, le Cervin et leurs glaciers. Le tourisme qui naît à la fin du XVIIIe siècle s'y imposera aux siècles suivants avec, notamment, l'irrésistible essor des sports d'hiver. Alps 1900 vous transporte dans une époque délicieusement surannée où les premiers petits trains de montagne et les chemins de fer à crémaillère convoyaient des messieurs en culotte de peau et des dames en robe longue au pied des glaciers ; un temps révolu où les guides locaux escortaient les touristes à dos de mulet, où les alpinistes faisaient figure de fous furieux et où les skieurs étaient une curiosité. Grâce aux photochromes, photographies, cartes postales colorées, affiches, dépliants touristiques, etc. , de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle, franchissons les cols - le Mont-Cenis, le Simplon, le Brenner, le Saint-Gothard -, escaladons le mont Blanc, l'Eiger, le Wetterhorn, les Dolomites... , voguons sur les lacs suisses, italiens, bavarois, slovènes aux eaux cristallines, explorons le Tyrol, la Via Mala, l'Engadine et descendons dans un hôtel-palace à Gstaad, Grindelwald, Davos, Saint-Moritz, Cortina... pour une saison de sports d'hiver. Un voyage ponctué de citations d'écrivains voyageurs évoquant ces jours heureux où la neige était vierge et les pentes intactes !

Jean-Jacques Burnel. Strangler In The Light
Bassiste, bien sûr, mais aussi compositeur et chanteur des Stranglers depuis leur formation en 1974 à Guildford, Jean-Jacques Burnel continue de garantir l'éthique du groupe qui a su allier la provocation au raffinement, au-delà des clichés "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll" . Dans ces entretiens, il témoigne pour la première fois de leur influence sur la scène punk britannique, de leur rapport au public et aux médias, ou encore des recompositions du groupe depuis le départ de Hugh Cornwell en 1990, signes d'une vitalité et d'une longévité peu communes. Douze chapitres, et autant de thèmes, où "JJ" Burnel dévoile sa personnalité, dont il puise en partie la complexité dans sa double identité. "Le plus français des Anglais et le plus anglais des Français" y évoque son passé turbulent, son idéal européen exprimé dès 1979 avec son album Euroman Cometh, son travail de producteur pour Taxi Girl ou encore Polyphonic Size, la pratique des arts martiaux et de la moto, l'évolution de son rapport aux femmes et à l'amour, sans oublier son attachement à la France, où il vit désormais.

The red rat in Hollywood - Tome 10
L'époque bascule. L'heure est à l'introspective et à la projection et on s'interroge sur le devenir de l'humanité. C'est dans ce contexte révolutionnaire que paraît La Planète des singes, reprenant toutes les réflexions de son époque, le rejet de l'autre et la peur du nucléaire et d'une fin prématurée de l'humanité. C'est aussi le film qui placera l'espèce dominante au plus bas de l'échelle évolutionniste. Ce sont enfin les années de consécration pour Dalton Trumbo, libéré par l'époque, qui mettent un terme aux exactions de la chasse aux sorcières. L'auteur clôt son histoire sur de nouvelles révélations sur les chefs-d'oeuvre du cinéma américain et sait mettre en avant la bascule générationnelle qui mettra fin à l'enfermement sur elle-même de l'Amérique.

The Winter of Democracy. Partitocracy in Belgium
In itself, partitocracy can be simply defined as a political regime where power is - in an excessive degree - in the hands of political parties. In Belgium, partitocracy has perhaps reached its highest level of elaboration, with complex interactions between citizens, candidates and elected representatives, parties as well as parliaments and governments. The Winter of Democracy : Partitocracy in Belgium aligns a dozen of scientific contributions that tackle the mutltifaceted concept of partitocracy from multiple perspectives. The book also celebrates the academic career of Lieven De Winter, almost five decades of a rich research commitment that spanned both at Université catholique de Louvain and at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, as well as across numerous institutions, projects and networks all around Europe. Lieven De Winter has significantly contributed to the study of all dimensions that constitute the core object of this book : Partitocracy in Belgium.
