L'Arbre du savoir-apprendre, vers un référentiel cognitif. The Art of Learning and the Knowledge Tree, Toward a Cognitive Framework, Edition bilingue français-anglais
Je suis, pour ma part, convaincue que le rôle essentiel du monde éducatif dans son ensemble est de permettre, par une véritable présence, l'émergence chez tous les partenaires de la situation d'apprentissage, de leur propre questionnement qui ouvre l'espace intérieur sur notre capacité matricielle, celui qui met en mouvement les co-acteurs, la personne en formation et ceux qui l'accompagnent, vers un lieu où il leur est possible d'actualiser leur potentiel. ... Si le questionnement est la véritable sève de l'arbre du savoir-apprendre, les différents acteurs de la situation de formation ne peuvent plus en faire l'économie pour leur propre parcours. I, for one, am convinced that the essential role of all the educational actors, through a genuine presence to each other, is to enable the emergence of personal inquiry which contributes to the opening up of our learning space. It also sets in motion the co-actors, the learner and those who accompany that learner toward a place where it is possible to actualize their own potential. ... If inquiry is the true sap of the tree of knowledge, the different actors in the educational setting can no longer do without it on their own journey.

Critique littéraire
Stendhal secret. To the happy few
"Qui suis-je ? " s'interroge Stendhal à longueur de pages, que ce soit dans ses écrits de jeunesse, sa correspondance, les marges des livres de sa bibliothèque, aussi bien que dans ses essais, ses récits de voyages ou encore ses romans. Acquérir une connaissance impartiale de soi-même, parvenir à la vérité pour toucher à l'idéal de la vie humaine, telle est la quête qui sous-tend l'intégralité de l'oeuvre de l'écrivain grenoblois. Pour autant cette aspiration n'est pas immédiatement perceptible. La célèbre dédicace To the happy few ne serait alors qu'un avertissement destiné à inviter les quelques heureux, susceptibles d'accéder à ce second sens, à pénétrer chaque scène étrange ou à décrypter chaque allusion en apparence superfétatoire afin que l'intégralité de l'ouvrage se révèle à eux. L'appartenance de Stendhal à la franc-maçonnerie, son goût sans limite pour les pseudonymes et la cryptographie, sa manie du secret sont autant d'éléments permettant d'explorer le versant caché de son oeuvre.

Too Hot to be the Boss
Entre pression et tentation, un jeu dangereux qui peut tout détruire sur son passage... Anna, jeune femme carriériste, vient enfin d'obtenir la promotion qu'elle convoitait depuis des années. Un concours de circonstance ? Peut-être, mais pas seulement. Ces dernières années, elle a tout sacrifié pour ce boulot : son temps, son énergie et une bonne partie de sa vie sociale. Mais tout ceci n'aura pas été pour rien. Elle est désormais la toute nouvelle manager de Peaceful Yards. Projet phare de la société de promotion immobilière new yorkaise pour laquelle elle travaille depuis 6 ans. Une révolution dans son secteur, mais aussi une pression incroyable sur ses épaules, car c'est une opportunité décisive pour sa carrière. Mais c'était oublier Matthew, le responsable des relations publiques qu'elle doit faire rentrer dans les rangs. Sous ses airs d'Apollon charmeur, il est très arrogant et il va mettre ses nerfs à rude épreuve. Il la cherche, il sait le pouvoir qu'il a sur les femmes... Anna se laissera-t-elle tenter ? Cette attraction dangereuse sera-t-elle forte au point de nuire à ses ambitions et la discréditer auprès de sa direction ? Une chose est sûre, Matthew ne fera rien pour lui faciliter les choses, bien au contraire... - Avec Casey c'était une chose, avec moi ça sera autrement, et ça sera ton tour d'apprendre à écouter. Il se lève lui aussi, je tremble instinctivement. Il fait une bonne tête de plus que moi. - Autoritariste avec ça. Tu ferais bien de baisser d'un ton, sans moi, vous ne pouvez rien faire. Il me menace ? ! Le pire, c'est que j'ai bien peur qu'il ait raison. On a besoin de lui pour le gala d'ouverture. Et faire imploser l'équipe dès le premier jour de ma prise de poste ne me gagnera certainement pas la confiance des associés. D'un autre côté, quel genre de boss s'écrase devant ses équipes ? Je lui en veux terriblement de me mettre dans cette situation impossible. Je le regarde durement, mais l'animal tient sans broncher. Et le vert profond de ses yeux commence à me troubler... pour le cacher, je lui réponds d'un ton le plus glacial possible. - Tu te surestimes, Matt.

Transport and Risk Communication
The process of transnationalization in Europe is reflected in the growth of transport flows and the rapid development of new infrastructure facilities. The highly transport sector confronts policy makers with pressing challenges because some major environmental problems are attached to transport. Decision making in the field of transport and the environment is very complicated because of the complexity of the infrastructures themselves and because of the involvement of local actors in the decision making process. The central task of this book is to show how regions and countries deal with this complexity and the new challenges, different ways in which three small European countries face the many uncertainties and controversies surrounding infrastructural policies. Economical constraints, institutional and cultural factors are shown to interfere with the debates on transport-issues and the environmental risks attached to them. Each case-study describes the national characteristics of the transport sector and analyses in some detail one of the major controversies which recently arised around infrastructural projects.

La Horde d'Acier a déferlé sur le Royaume Vénérable en un raz-de-marée de flamme et de sang. Et voilà qu'à présent, l'homme qui la dirige - Kehlbrand, le seigneur de guerre qui s'estime l'égal un dieu - convoite les autres Royaumes Négociants. Personne n'est capable d'endiguer sa conquête. Personne, hormis peut-être Vaelin Al Sorna. Du moins s'il n'était pas en fuite et sa propre armée en déroute... Pire encore, la voix du sang dont il est à nouveau investi se révèle être un cadeau empoisonné, dont les harmonies noires tentent de l'entraîner sur une voie bien plus sombre qu'il n'aurait pu l'imaginer...

Polygonal Interface Problems
The aim of this volume is to extend some of the classical results of Kondratiev, Maz'ya-Plamenevskii, Grisvard and Dauge, about the singular behaviour of the weak solution of a boundary value problem in a nonsmooth domain to the setting of boundary value problems on a two-dimensional polygonal topological network (roughly speaking it is a network such that each face is a polygon). Some mechanical phenomena were recently described by boundary value problems on such networks : let us quote vibrating folded membranes, composite plates, folded plates, junctions in elastic multi-structures. In view to numerical applications, the singularities, as well as their coefficients (the so-called stress intensity factors) are described explicitly. The obtained decomposition into regular and singular parts also leads to the Fredholm property of the associated operator between appropriate Sobolev spaces.

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.

Theoretical Astrophysics. Volume 1, Astrophysical Processes
Graduate students and researchers in astrophysics and cosmology need a solid understanding of a wide range of physical processes. This clear and authoritative textbook has been designed to help them to develop the necessary toolkit of theory. Assuming only an undergraduate background in physics and no detailed knowledge of astronomy, this book guides the reader step by step through a comprehensive collection of fundamental theoretical topics. The book is modular in design, allowing the reader to pick and chose a selection of chapters, if necessary. It can be used alone, or in conjunction with the forthcoming accompanying two volumes (covering stars and stellar systems, and galaxies and cosmology, respectively). After reviewing the basics of dynamics, electromagnetic theory, and statistical physics, the book carefully develops a solid understanding of all the key concepts such as radiative processes, spectra, fluid mechanics, plasma physics and MHD, dynamics of gravitating systems, general relativity, and nuclear physics. Each topic is developed methodically from undergraduate basic physics. Throughout, the reader's understanding is developed and tested with carefully structured problems and helpful hints. This welcome volume provides graduate students with an indispensable introduction to and reference on all the physical processes they will need to successfully tackle cutting-edge research in astrophysics and cosmology.

After The Last Ship
After the Last Ship illustrates the author's own history, as well as its connection to the history of other women and children who left India and made the journey across the Kala Pani, the Indian Ocean, and lived as migrants in other countries. In this book the author brings greater understanding of how subjectivities are shaped through embodied experiences of ‘mixed race'. She bears witness to the oppressive policies of the fascist government in Portugal in the 1960's and 1970's and the effects of displacement and exile, by reconstructing her own passage from India to Mozambique and finally to Australia. Further, the author shows the devastation that labels such as ‘half-caste', ‘canecos' and ‘monhe' can cause, when they eat at your flesh, your being, and your body. She sheds light on how identity and culture can serve as vehicles of empowerment, how experiences of belonging can germinate and take root post-diaspora.

ARCHIMEDES. What Did He Do Besides Cry Eureka?
THIS BOOK HAS ONLY ONE PURPOSE: To make the discoveries of Archimedes easily accessible to a wide audience, from anyone with a background in high school algebra to a busy practicing mathematician.
Many people have heard two things about Archimedes: He was the greatest mathematician of antiquity and he ran naked from his bath crying, "Eureka, eureka!" Few of us, layperson or mathematician, are familiar with the accomplishments on which his reputation rests. This book describes in detail those astonishing accomplishments: how he
developed the theory of the lever and the center of gravity; how he used the center of gravity to study whether a floating object would tip over; how he summed a geometric series and the squares; and how he found the volume and surface area of a sphere. His ability to do so much with the few tools at his disposal is astonishing. He was like a one-person Institute for Advanced Study, making fundamental discoveries in the fields of geometry, mechanics and hydrostatics.
The exposition is leisurely and supported by a brief life of Archimedes and some 120 illustrations. Any reader who is aware that the graph of y = x2 is a parabola can follow all the reasoning. Although the book uses only high school mathematics, professional mathematicians will find much here of interest as well.

This version was part of the standard university curriculum in the late-medieval West. The bilingual indices give access to the richness of the translator's vocabulary and provide an indispensable tool for the study of his translation method. Except for De partibus animalium, all of Moerbeke's translations from the Aristotelian zoological corpus are now available in critical editions.

Labouring Lives
Labouring Lives unravels the huge changes which have so fundamentally altered the life courses of ordinary women over the past one hundred and fifty years, namely the changes in marriage and fertility patterns. Using dynamic data from Dutch population registers and analytical techniques from the life course approach, the book offers new evidence on women's changing position in the labour market, their role in pre-nuptial sexuality, and their contribution to marriage and fertility change in the Netherlands between 1880 and 1960. The author reconstructs the socio-economic and demographic worlds of different groups of working and non-working women, and by doing so she is able to locate the various groups driving the changes. Advanced statistical tools enable the author to analyse differences in fertility strategies, stopping versus spacing, employed by various social and cultural groups in the Netherlands. This book leads to conclusions which challenge a number of orthodoxies in the field.

Beaux arts
Magritte. Edition en langue anglaise
The paintings of the Belgian Surrealist René Magritte (1898-1967) have exerted an extraordinary fascination, particularly since the enormous increase in awareness and popularity of his work during the 1960s. Magritte shows us a world of silence and isolation in which familiar objects are altered or juxtaposed in 'impossible' combinations in order to create a sense of disorientation and the absurd. Many of his most memorable paintings date from his three prolific years 1927-30, when he lived near Paris and was in close touch with the writer André Breton and other French Surrealists.
In his pre-war painting, stylistic concerns were of secondary importance to Magritte, and for the most part he concentrated on the relation between objects and words or between the image of an object and the object itself. He deliberately cultivated a cold, unemotive, 'style-less' style. This quality renders the violence and macabre sexuality of some of his works all the more disturbing. His own 'impressionist' and critics keenly responsive to the later work of other masters of parody and allusion such as Picabia and de Chirico.

Interpreting Quebec’s Exile Within the Federation. Selected Political Essays
This book combines the approaches of political theory and of intellectual history to provide a lucid account of Québec's contemporary situation within the Canadian federation. Guy Laforest considers that the province of Québec, and its inhabitants, are exiled within Canada. They are not fully integrated, politically and constitutionally, nor are they leaving the federation, for now and for the foreseeable future. They are in between these two predicaments. Laforest provides insights into the current workings of the Canadian federation, and some of its key figures of the past fifty years, such as Pierre Elliott Trudeau, René Lévesque, Stephen Harper and Claude Ryan. The book also offers thought-provoking studies of thinkers and intellectuals such as James Tully, Michel Seymour and André Burelle. Laforest revisits some key historical documents and events, such as the Durham Report and the 1867 and 1982 constitutional documents. He offers political and constitutional proposals that could contribute to help Québec moving beyond the current predicament of internal exile.

Dirty Panties (English Edition)
Roxane is a young Parisian whose Bohemian life seems stuck in an endless loop of idle afternoons and wine-soaked nights with her roommate. Strapped for cash and novelty, she starts selling her used underwear online. Dirty Panties chronicles her first steps in this marketplace, from the creation of her online persona to the real-life rendezvous with shady customers. This new business soon impacts Roxane's daily life and the people around her. The world she has just stepped into might be much more bizarre than what she expected. Roxane's journey exploring her own appetite for transgression tackles such contemporary themes as sex work, consent and economic domination. How far will she go and where will this end ? Maybelline Skvortzoff's drawing is detailed and vivid and the story is in turn hilarious, awkward, touching and dark. Much like Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character in her TV series Fleabag, Roxane is at the same time completely clueless and determined to make it on her own in this world where everything can be bought and sold. Roxane vend ses culottes -- the original edition of Dirty Panties -- won the 2023 Artemisia award for best humor comic and has been shortlisted for many awards including the official selection of the 2023 Angouleme Festival.
