Anna et le prince d'Albion Tome 1
Anna, seconde fille de la famille de nobles Harmich, en a assez des coutumes qui veulent qu'une femme n'ait d'autres objectifs que de flatter les grands seigneurs... Obsédée par l'art de la guerre, elle rêve de combattre aux côtés de son père, l'un des plus grands guerriers de l'empire. Malheureusement, son père vient à mourir lors d'un récent conflit avec le pays voisin d'Albion et elle se voit offerte en tribut à ce dernier.

Un matin d'automne, Jia Jia découvre son mari sans vie dans la baignoire de leur appartement de Beijing. Il a laissé pour elle, sur le lavabo, le dessin énigmatique d'un homme-poisson. Perdue et sous le choc, elle déambule dans la ville, boit plus que de raison, et se lie peu à peu avec un barman qui semble appartenir à cette seconde espèce d'hommes, ceux qui guérissent plutôt qu'ils ne blessent. Libérée d'un mariage asphyxiant, Jia Jia se redécouvre, renoue avec sa passion pour la peinture et affronte un passé trop longtemps mis sous silence par ceux qu'elle aime. Une odyssée intérieure qui la mènera jusqu'au plateau tibétain et à cet autre monde auquel elle aspire et qui la terrifie. Ce premier roman, enchanteur et onirique, fait écho à l'oeuvre littéraire de Haruki Murakami et aux films de Wong Kar-wai.

Ultrasonography and reproduction in swine. Principles and practical applications
Ouvrage en anglais Ultrasonography is a method used to examine the genital tract, without causing any trauma to the animal, and to characterize the animal's reproductive state. This book is the first compilation of the techniques used to examine sows and the interpretation of the ultrasonographic images. The principles of ultrasonography, artifacts, a description of the reproductive system and its topography form the basis for the subsequent examination of the different physiological (oestrous cycle, gestation and postpartum) and pathological (cystic follicles, cystitis, etc.) situations. The final section deals with the diagnosis of gestation ; the factors which determine the accuracy of this test and the advantages for breeders are presented. Many illustrations and annotated drawings help the reader clearly understand these techniques ; a summary at the end of each chapter highlights the essential points. This book is intended for all those, teachers, professionals, technicians and breeders, who would like to learn about this method, enhance their skills, and consider other applications of ultrasonography in sows. Cet ouvrage regroupe les connaissances nécessaires pour réaliser l'exploration fonctionnelle de la sphère génitale chez la truie par échographie d'ultrasons et pour interpréter les images. Principe de l'échographie, artefacts, description de l'appareil génital et de sa topographie préparent à l'étude de diverses situations physiologiques et pathologiques. Un chapitre met l'accent sur l'utilisation de l'échographie pour contrôler la gestation. Abondamment illustré, ce livre s'adresse à tous, enseignants, praticiens, techniciens et éleveurs.

Living in Two Worlds
This is a study of Singapore pastors' worldview & understanding of the epidemiology, symptomatology and management of possession behaviour. The pastors' accounts are compared with those from the scientific disciplines, and convergences and divergences noted. Factors shaping both the pastors' and the scientific discourses are examined. The pastors are shown to respond to competing scientific paradigms by reinforcing their two-worlds worldview. They either live mainly in the other world, or in each world at a time, or between the two worlds. Based on theological reflection focusing on epistemology, theodicy & cosmology, the author shows that the paradigm of living in both worlds simultaneously is the most appropriate pastoral response. The theological vision of the coexisting worlds and the pastoral task of unmasking and resisting evil in all its varieties and depths are then discussed.

Maladies mentales et sociétés. XIXe-XXIe siècle
Les sciences humaines et la psychiatrie ont longtemps donné des maladies mentales une image de radicale altérité. Celles-ci ont pourtant joué un rôle constitutif dans les sociétés européennes contemporaines, à la fois expression d'une série de vulnérabilités médicales et sociales et représentation associée au génie et au crime, part honteuse de la famille bourgeoise et révélateur des désordres et des grands bouleversements sociaux. Cet ouvrage est à la fois une introduction à l'histoire des rapports de nos sociétés aux maladies mentales au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles et une synthèse des acquis historio graphiques des quarante dernières années sur cette question, de l'histoire sociale et culturelle aux science and technology studies, en passant par l'histoire d'en bas et l'histoire matérielle. Organisé autour de quatre dimensions - espaces, savoirs, pratiques et expériences -, il montre comment les maladies mentales et leur traitement social ont été à la fois un reflet et un moteur de certaines des transformations de nos sociétés.

Nietzsche and the End of Freedom
Nietzsche's writing is not some game of 'freeplay' and terms like 'intertextuality' are useless in discussing its influence. This study takes Nietzsche, then Kafka's Trial, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, Heinrich Mann's Man of Straw, Rilke's Malte Laurids Brigge and Musil's Törless. It argues that Nietzsche mediates and modernises the dilemmas of Romanticism and that a properly differentiated account of his literary reception can illuminate the dynamics of German culture on the eve of the Great War.

Ruling Class Men
What is it like to be a master of the universe ? The authors have researched the desires and fears of the world's most powerful men. The Murdochs, Packers, Kennedys, Agnellis and other men like them, directly determine the fates of thousands and influence the future of the world like no other people. Described as ‘sacred monsters' by one of their own, they are carefully created to be what they are and to enjoy shaping the world in their own likeness. To learn about these often reclusive men, the authors extended the life-history technique to interrogate autobiographies, diaries and biographies and have created a composite picture, a collective portrait, of tycoons over three generations. The book carefully explores the childhoods, schooling, work and play, sexual activities, marriages and deaths of the wealthiest men who have ever lived. It exposes the nature of ruling-class masculinity itself.

«Die Welt war meine Gemeinde»- Willem A. Visser ’t Hooft. A Theologian for Europe between Ecumenism and Federalism
Willem A. Visser 't Hooft (1900–1985), Dutch pastor and theologian, was one of the most significant personalities in the Protestant Ecumenical movement. Deeply influenced by Karl Barth, and filled with a strong Ecumenical spirit, he was closely involved in the founding of the World Council of Churches, of which he was elected General Secretary. During the Second World War, many Protestants became convinced of the need for an international political system which, beside uniting the nations and peoples of Europe, would guarantee them fundamental freedoms and mutual respect for their historical, cultural and confessional traditions. The directors of the WWC were strongly committed to federalism, partly because of the political traditions of the states from which their member churches originated (Switzerland ; Great Britain and its Commonwealth ; the United States), and partly because of their conviction that a simple confederation of states, based on the model of the League of Nations, would be completely incapable of containing national ambitions. In spring 1944, Visser 't Hooft welcomed into his Geneva home the representatives of the European Resistance, who, under the leadership of Altiero Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi, signed the International Federalist Declaration of the Resistance Movements. These historic transnational encounters, aimed not only at coordinating military action or seeking diplomatic contacts but at exploring ways to "build" peace and re-establish the future of the Continent on new foundations, marked a profound break with the past.

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.

Agricultural Price Policy and Export and Food Production in Cameroon
This volume discusses the issue of agricultural price policy for the coffee-based farming systems in Cameroon. It presents a farming systems based analysis of the impact of different agricultural policies on food and export crop production in small mixed farming systems. The analysis shows what impact price policy and changing price relationships have on the production of coffee as well as food crops. The two major coffee-based production systems in Cameroon are modeled in a linear programming framework and the reaction of the farmers to varying price relations, institutional settings and technology changes are analyzed. It also highlights how price policy affects inter- and intrahousehold income distribution.

Education and the Values Crisis in Central and Eastern Europe
Fundamental educational reform is one of the central elements of the social transformation taking place in the former socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In this volume selected experts and eye witnesses of the radical change taking place in the region provide detailed and graphic presentation of the problems and controversies surrounding reform. They explore how the educational systems have responded to the collapse, and they explain the source of new models, ideas, and values on the part of educational policy makers, researchers and teachers. A focus of attention is the values crisis among the youth. The authors explore the values the socialist systems attempted to convey, the manner in which the youth have responded to the collapse, and the possible sources of new values and ideals.

Mondes Akan : Akan Worlds. Identité et pouvoir en Afrique occidentale : Identity and Power in West Africa
Cet ouvrage collectif constitue les actes d'un colloque international à l'Université d'Urbino, en Italie. Un certain nombre de chercheurs, anthropologues et historiens, venant d'Afrique, d'Europe et des Etats-Unis se sont rencontrés pendant trois jours autour du thème de l'identité et du pouvoir chez les populations Ahan du Ghana et de la Côte-d'Ivoire. De l'ensemble de ces contributions se dégage une vision plurielle et complexe des " mondes Ahan ". Loin de s'enfermer dans une prétendue homogénéité ethnique, l'univers Ahan s'ouvre à de nombreuses influences ouest-africaines et européennes qui en font un ensemble très mouvant et aux contours flous, mais également identifiable en tant que tel, ne fut-ce que par cette véritable passion du pouvoir qui le caractérise.

Morality and Politics in Nigeria
Before the Nigerian civil war, and even after the war till 1982, Nigeria was regarded as a wealthy nation in comparison with other African countries. However, for the past 30 years, struggle for power has resulted in political instability, moral degeneracy and under-development. The economy of the country has collapsed and millions of Nigerians are now enveloped in poverty, hunger, disease, ignorance, unemployment etc. The root cause of this unhealthy situation for the country is corruption and moral degradation. The only way out of the Nigerian ugly situation seems to be the integration of morality in Nigerian politics. This research work therefore aims at suggesting avenues of restoring man's original dignity within a corrupt and unjust social and political setting in Nigeria.

Accent and metre in French
There is currently no generally accepted theory of metre in French poetry. The aim of this book is to propose one which will be practically useful to readers and analysts of French verse. This theory relates metre to the accentual structure of different registers of spoken and written Modern French. It also addresses problems in the history of French metre by examining language texts from the Old French epic to the lyrics of Verlaine, as well as musical texts from the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.

Cross and Crown in Barbados
During the late 19th century, Caribbean society was generally controlled by the local plantocracy and the colonial administration of the Europeans. Barbados was so much the pride of the British colonies in the Caribbean that it was called "Little England". The life-blood of the society, the Black labouring classes, reaped very little of the social and economic benefits from the Sugar industry which the White planter-class owned and controlled. The Church was also controlled by the planter-class, and it functioned effectively to sustain a pattern of rigid social containment, and to work consistently for the maintenance of the status quo. Political religion in Barbados was therefore an engine of social control of the poor Blacks by the rich Whites. Cross and Crown together created "peace" and poverty.

Focusing in English and Korean
English and Korean have various ways of expressing grammatical prominence. While focusing in English has been studied over the past twenty years by a number of generative and functional grammarians, there is as yet no comprehensive treatment of focus phenomena in Korean. This monograph treats five focusing constructions of English and looks at their grammatical and lexical equivalents in Korean. English and Korean are different typologically. Since this difference is important, if one wishes to make sense of the diverging focusing strategies in these two languages, it is necessary to give a typological outline of English and Korean. The follwing two typological approaches figure prominently in this monograph : the basic word order typology developed by Greenberg, and the language typology proposed by Li and Thompson.

Scripture and Midrash in Judaism
The rabbis of late antiquity produced a score of exegesis of the Hebrew Scriptures of Ancient Israel ("the Old Testament"), in which they took various approaches to the study and interpretation of what they called "the written Torah". These exegesis, called collectively "Midrash", form an important part of "the oral Torah", that is, the tradition of Sinai formulated and transmitted for memorization and ultimately written down by the ancient sages in the first six centuries A.D. These three volumes present large selections of the Midrash-documents of ancient Judaism, in the translation of Jacob Neusner, who has now translated into English nearly all of the Rabbinic literature of late antiquity. The selections are organized by type, so that readers see the various ways in which, in form and in intellectual program, the documents of Midrash-compilation were formulated and set forth. In this way, the vast body of biblical exegesis put forth by Judaism in its formative age is made available to the contemporary reader.
