Black Orpheus. Edition en langue anglaise
This text, one of the finest written by Jean-Paul Sartre, dates from 1948 and is the accomplishment of the understanding of poems whose aim was not merely literary. To a large degree, it inaugurated the still lively reflexion on Negritude. This text dealing with liberty wich at that time could only be written or spoken about, has lost none of its virtue in a world where many of the profound demands of the black voice have still to be met.

Each Child Is My Only One
In Each Child Is My Only One : Lotte Carlebach-Preuss, the Portrait of a Mother and Rabbi's Wife, Miriam Gillis-Carlebach, the daughter of Rabbi Dr. Joseph Zvi Carlebach (1883–1942), last Chief Rabbi of Hamburg and its surroundings, describes her childhood in the lively household of a rabbi's family with nine children, focusing on the special personality of her mother, Lotte Carlebach, née Preuss (1900–1942). The book starts with the history of the Preuss family, goes on to describe the marriage of Lotte to Joseph Carlebach, and portrays in detail their dynamic family life – until their deportation with their four youngest children to a Latvian concentration camp in 1942. The book is composed of two main parts. In the first section the reader learns about the events up to 1938, both inside and outside the Carlebach home ; the second section covers the years 1938–1941, in which there was a lively correspondence mainly between the mother and those of her children who succeeded in emigrating from Nazi Germany. This part concludes with several testimonies portraying the special personalities of Rabbi Carlebach and his wife and their devotion to the unfortunate who benefited from their unbounded assistance and altruism during the Holocaust. Many photographs are included in the book, several of them taken by Lotte Carlebach herself. The book is a unique and personal testimony about Jewish life in Germany during the years of persecution that relentlessly led to the conflagration of the Holocaust.

Cognitive Perspectives on Language
The papers collected in the present volume show that the terms cognitivism and cognitive, so common in present day linguistic discourse, do not refer to a single theoretical mode or approach to language. Firstly, the papers show that cognitivism is a lively research area accommodating a wide spectrum of approaches. Secondly, they address a number of issues ranging from grammaticalization, event structure, semantic representation, equivalence, image schematic representations and lexicography to poetry, metaphor, metonymy, and national mentality. Some of the contributions deal with the linguistic phenomena in one language, while others take up a cross-linguistic approach.

Le barbier qui voulait prier
Valentine est une petite fille qui aime parler à Dieu. Mais elle trouve ses prières bien trop simples, en tout cas pas aussi belles que celles de son papa. Un soir, elle lui demande de lui apprendre à parler à Jésus. Son papa lui raconte alors l'histoire vraie de maître Peter, un barbier qui ne savait pas non plus comment prier et qui n'osait pas en parler. Ce barbier avait un vieil ami du nom de Martin Luther. Un jour, ce dernier se rendit dans son échoppe pour se faire tailler la barbe et couper les cheveux. Maître Peter prit alors son courage à deux mains et lui demanda des conseils pour mieux prier. En guise de réponse, Martin Luther lui écrivit une lettre. En découvrant cette lettre près de 500 ans plus tard, Valentine apprendra elle aussi à parler à Dieu. Basé sur l'histoire vraie de Martin Luther et de son barbier, ce texte apprend aux enfants à s'adresser à Dieu. Un texte simple, accompagné de belles illustrations, pour les enfants de 3 à 10 ans.

A Mirrour of Mutabilitie
Written in 1579 as an imitation of the Mirror for Magistrates, Munday's Mirrour of Mutabilitie is a collection of complaints by biblical characters whose unfortunate downfalls illustrate the vanity and mutability of human affairs. This work echoes the profound scepticism of its age, a legacy of the medieval contemptus mundi tradition. It underpins the view that Time is a destroyer, that human actions cannot be calculated positively, because life is temporal and full of accidents.This edition, the first one after the editio princeps of 1579, offers a text with the original spelling based on critical study of the 1579-edition, together with an introduction, textual notes, commentary and bibliography, designed to give scholars and students as much editorial assistance as they are likely to require.

Corporatism and the Stability of Capitalist Democracies
This dissertation treats a problem which originally stems from Marxist political economic thinking : why do representatives of the working-class compromise with representatives of the capitalist class on major socio-economic topics on a national level, and what do such compromises look like ? The author establishes the claim that macro-economic compromises between organized classes are both likely to result and unstable in their nature. It is shown how the state may act as an actor supporting the establishment of an institutionalized class compromise and how it may try to prevent the breakdown of it. After elaborating these claims in a dynamic macro-economic model, the author describes developments of class compromises in post World War II Sweden, Austria and the Netherlands to illustrate the theory.

Practice and Problems in Language Testing 1
The First International Symposium of the Interuniversitäre Sprachtestgruppe at the Bundessprachenamt, Hürth, brought together a group of experts in language testing from a wide variety of backgrounds. This volume contains selected papers from the meeting and represents a broad range of topics in language testing, from Bernard Spolsky's paper on ethical questions, to Madeline Lutjeharms' contribution dealing with testing in a multilingual context, Nicolas Ferguson's computerized approach to oral assessment, and Günter Trost's and Horst Bickel's research into aptitude testing. The lively and often critical discussions following these and the other papers by Joseph Rohrer, Douglas K. Stevenson, Jan van Weeren, Wieland and Ulrich Raatz, Helmut J. Vollmer and Veronica Smith/Christine Klein-Braley are included, as is the panel discussion among several of the experts present.

Desert Isles & Pirate Islands
Desert Isles & Pirate Islands examines the development of the island theme in nineteenth-century English juvenile fiction. The earliest island stories, Robinsonnades designed to teach both piety and natural history, gave way in mid-century to adventure stories with their primary emphasis on excitement and entertainment. By the end of the Victorian era, while elements of the Robinsonnade still featured in adventure fiction, the island story accommodated other traditions. It was particularly in the periodicals known as 'penny dreadfuls' that the island story became a lively and often lurid tale of pirates and their buried treasure. The book contains a detailed 505-item bibliography of stories on the island theme appearing in England from 1788 to 1910. Sixty-five illustrations reproduced from contemporary children's books and periodicals depict typical characters, situations and motifs in this fiction.

Central and Eastern Europe on its way to European Union
The transition of the Eastern Central European countries from centrally planned economies to developed market economies has been one of the major structural changes in Europe. It started a new stage of enlargement of the European Union. The monograph presents the results of an international research effort aimed at the analysis of macroeconomic aspects of joining the European Union by the Central European countries. This analysis was based on country and world economy models and rests on a series of alternative scenarios of economic development up to the year 2010. It provides the reader with a broad historical background and a discussion of recent trends of Central Europe. It summarises the experience of the new members of the European Union. The scenario simulations show the likely path of future economic development for the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, analysing the pros and contras of joining the European Union.

Mathématiques
Combinatorics and Graph Theory
This book evolved from several courses in combinatories and graph theory given et Appalachian State University and UCLA. Chapter 1 focuses on finite graph theory, including trees, planarity, coloring, matching, and Ramsey theory. Chapter 2 studies combinatories, including the principle of inclusion and exclusion, generating functions, recurrence relations, Polya theory, the stable marriage problem, and several important classes of numbers. Chapter 3 presents infinite pigeonhole principles, König's lemma, and Ramsey's theorem, and discusses their connections to axiomatic set theory. The text is written in an enthusiastic und lively style. It includes results and problems that cross subdisciplines, emphasizing relationships between different areas of mathematics. In addition, recent results appear in the text, illustrating the fort that mathematics is a living discipline. The text is primarily directed toward upper-division undergraduate students, but lower-division undergraduates with a penchant for proof and graduate students seeking an introduction to these subjects will also find much of interest.

Sociologie
Argument Selection
A new thematic theory is demonstrated in this book. Thematic theories and their antecedents (Gruber 1965, Fillmore 1968) are to account for morphosyntactic phenomena (concerning argument structures) whose determining factors are likely to be of a semantic nature/origin. But what is the relevant semantic information ? And how is it to be captured (and formalized)? As is shown by the wide variety of competing current thematic theories, there is no consensus upon these crucial questions. The novel starting-point proposed in this book is the creation of a semantic basis where traditional roles (Agent, Patient, Instrument, etc.) are dispensed with. Instead, a special comparative analysis of morphologically related argument structure versions will provide the relevant semantic information, which makes it possible to associate argument frames with rich internal structures via exact formal calculations. Abstract positions in these internal structures are substituted for thematic roles, in harmony with the spirit of Saussure's structuralism.

La dernière colonie
Dans les années 1960, la Grande-Bretagne sépare Diego Garcia et les cinquante-quatre autres îles des Chagos de la toute jeune République indépendante de Maurice. La raison secrète : offrir aux Etats-Unis une base militaire sur Diego Garcia, la plus grande île de l'archipel. Les Chagossiens qui y demeuraient depuis le XVIIIe siècle sont chassés brutalement de leur foyer et contraints à l'exil. Parmi eux, Liseby Elysé, une jeune mariée, enceinte de son premier enfant. Depuis cinquante ans, elle se bat pour pouvoir retourner sur son île natale. C'est ce combat que Philippe Sands retrace, en mettant en lumière les horreurs persistantes de l'impérialisme britannique, les crimes racistes dont Mme Elysé et ses compatriotes chagossiens ont été les victimes, et le long cheminement du droit international moderne pour que soit reconnu et jugé ce crime contre l'humanité. Traduit de l'anglais (Grande-Bretagne) par Agnès Desarthe.

"On liberty" by John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), one of the most versatile thinkers of the nineteenth century, wrote on the newly emerging sciences of economics, politics and sociology. His Principles of Political Economy (1848) ran to many editions and is still read today, while his book on Utilitarianism (1863) is better known than the writings of Jeremy Bentham. On Liberty (1859) was written at a time when the Industrial Revolution, the rise of a sizeable middle class and its social influence, the growing democratisation of British politics raised questions about the place of individuals and the dangers of this new mass society. Mill placed much faith in this passionate and cogently argued plea for individual freedom, writing in his Autobiography : The liberty is likely to survive longer than anything else I have written... . The future was to prove him right, and his defence of freedom of thought and speech, of individuality and originality, later used to criticise the various instances totalitarianism in the twentieth century, is still relevant these days.

Gauguin. Edition en langue anglaise
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was one of the most formidable artists of the late nineteenth century, and one whose work was to have a profound influence on the development of art in the twentieth. He began as an Impressionist, but went on to develop a more two-dimensional, richly-coloured style in his constant search for a 'lost paradise' untouched by nineteenth-century civilization. Gauguin's romande and tragic life story is mirrored in the works in this outstanding anthology. Included are 48 full-page colour plates, not only of his best-known beautiful, atmospheric paintings of Tahiti in which Gauguin attempted to reconstruct the perfect life which he had failed to find in reality, but also of many powerful works which reflect the artist's contact with other early modern masters - Degas, Van Gogh, Cézanne.
Sir Alan Bowness, who was Director of the Tate Gallery until 1988, is the author of the lively introductory essay which provides the background to the paintings, and art historian Lesley Stevenson has written an informative, clear commentary to accompany each colour plate.

Paris impressionniste. 100 tableaux de légende, Edition bilingue français-anglais
Monet peint les fumées de la gare Saint-Lazare, Renoir saisit les reflets du Pont-Neuf dans la Seine, Pissarro figure l'avenue de l'Opéra depuis une chambre d'hôtel, Manet immortalise les serveuses de café de Pigalle, Caillebotte restitue les perspectives haussmanniennes... Tout autant que la côte normande ou la vallée de la Seine, Paris inspire les impressionnistes. Entre son fleuve et ses grands ciels, la capitale ne manque ni de nature ni de texture pour des palettes avides de saisir les jeux de la lumière. En prime, la ville apporte l'animation de ses rues, de ses métiers, de ses cafés, de ses loisirs... Monet painted smoke clouding the Gare Saint-Lazare, Renoir captured the Pont Neuf's reflections in the Seine, Pissarro portrayed Avenue de l'Opéra from his hotel room, Manet immortalized waitresses in a café at Pigalle, Caillebotte depicted Haussmannian perspectives... The Normandy coast and the Seine Valley were not the only inspirations for Impressionists –Paris was as well. Between its river and its tall skies, the French capital lacked neither nature nor textures for artists intent on encapsulating plays on light. Not to mention the bonus of the city's lively streets, workers, cafés and entertainment...

Rhapsody in Blue. For solo piano and jazz band (Two-Piano Score)
The names of George Gershwin (1898-1937) and Ira Gershwin (1896-1983) are synonymous across the globe with American musical creativity. The Gershwin family estates, their publishers, and the University of Michigan have joined forces to produce The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition-the first-ever scholarly edition of the Gershwins' music and lyrics. This all-new practical edition facilitates both study and performance, giving a wide audience of musicians, scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike greater insight into the Gershwins' art. The goal is to create clear and definitive publications that achieve the most accurate representations possible of the Gershwin brothers' unique and pioneering creativity. This all-new critical edition of the original 1924 arrangement of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue presents an authoritative transcription of arranger Ferde Grofé's handwritten holograph score preserved in the collection of the United States Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The edition represents as best as possible the piece as premiered by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra at his "Experiment in Modern Music" concert on February 12, 1924. Grofé prepared the score for the specific talents and timbres of the Whiteman Orchestra, largely from an ink fair copy of Gershwin's two-piano short-score manuscript. Gershwin continued to modify the piano solo portion of this short score during rehearsals and, most likely, even after the premiere of the piece. Instrumentation : 2 pianos
