Hitler's Vineyards

How the French Winemakers Collaborated with the Nazis

By: Christophe Lucand

“Fascinating. Detailed, well-written, and controversial, Lucand’s history of France and its wine during the Nazi Occupation is an unexpected treat.” —The Wine Economist During the Second World War, French wine was hardly a trivial product. Indeed, following the Fall of France, it proved to be one of the most valuable French commodities in the eyes of the Nazi leaders. In 1940, “Weinführer” (official delegates and wine experts appointed by Berlin), were sent to all the wine regions of France to coordinate the most intense looting that the country had ever seen. Alongside the very ambiguous relationship of the Vichy Regime and the collaboration of many French professionals with the occupiers, this immense program of wine collection was a drama that many would prefer to forget. Now, more than seventy years after the end of the conflict, the time has come to tell the story of what really happened. Following a meticulous investigation and relying exclusively on previously unpublished sources, Christophe Lucand reveals the history of the world of French wine that was subjected to the tests of war, occupation and of all the compromises this entails. “The author has walked the line with sensitivity and provided a balanced review of this very painful time for French winemakers.” —Firetrench

The Innovation Odyssey

Lessons from an Impossible Project

By: Christophe Midler,Marc Alochet,Christophe De Charentenay

Affordable is not typically the first adjective used to describe an electric automobile. This book traces the history of an affordable electric car, from its genesis to its marketing. This history is more than a singular adventure. It is the analysis of a project that allows us to understand the key issues of strategy and management of contemporary innovation. The book features in lessons in: Strategy revealing the complexity of international product development and the conditions for its implementation in today’s fragmented world Project management showing what is required to succeed in the a priori impossible challenge of a design within an alliance between five partners from four different countries Innovation demonstrating that the electrification of mobility can be combined with affordable prices Industrial policy using the emblematic domain of electric vehicles to illustrate the major role of public authorities in technology, the future direction of this role, and the importance in the competition between Western and Chinese industries Intrapreneurship showing that a start-up is not the only context in which it is possible to attempt and experience breakthroughs.

Live Cell Assays

From Research to Regulatory Applications

By: Christophe Furger

Cell assays include all methods of measurements on living cells. Confined for a long time to research laboratories, these emerging methods have, in recent years, found industrial applications that are increasingly varied and, from now on, regulatory. Based on the recent explosion of knowledge in cell biology, the measurement of living cells represents a new class of industry-oriented research tests, the applications of which continue to multiply (pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, environment, etc.). Cellular tests are now being positioned as new tools at the interface between chemical methods, which are often obsolete and not very informative, and methods using animal models, which are expensive, do not fit with human data and are widely discussed from an ethical perspective. Finally, the development of cell assays is currently being strengthened by their being put into regulatory application, particularly in Europe through the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) and cosmetic directives.

The Grotte du Placard at 150: New Considerations on an Exceptional Prehistoric Site

By: Christophe Delage

The prehistoric site of Le Placard, Southwest France, was first explored 150 years. 19th-century excavations almost emptied the cavity, now surprisingly ill-known. This 150-year milestone grants an opportunity to look back at this exceptional site and what it can tell us about the Late Pleistocene hunting and gathering societies who dwelt there.

All of Us: A Young People's History of the World

By: Christophe Ylla-Somers

An inclusive and expansive telling of the history of civilization from the beginning of time, by one of France's most beloved children's authors This book is about our history. Not the history of kings, queens, chiefs, emirs, great moguls, emperors, tsars, presidents, or dictators, but our own: the history of the men, women, and children who peopled the earth. It is a long story that began more than one hundred and fifty thousand years ago and continues today. Despite dark times, wars, and conflicts, we invented, worked, created extraordinary things, and transformed the world. Although we were often led to turn against one another, we also created strong bonds between ourselves. And we had fun too, dancing and singing and making music! Let’s take a look at how our history unfolded on our earth, from the beginning to the present, without giving more weight to one country than another. What will we see?

Revivalism and Social Christianity

Revivalism and Social Christianity

The Prophetic Faith of Henri Nick and André Trocmé

By: Christophe Chalamet

How does one become a "Righteous among the Nations"? In the case of Henri Nick (1868-1954) and Andre Trocme (1901-1971), two French Protestant pastors on whom that title was conferred by Yad Vashem (Jerusalem) for their acts of solidarity toward persecuted Jews, the answer seems to be: by being immersed, from an early age, in the discourses and practices of social Christianity. By focusing on the lives of two significant figures of twentieth-century Christianity, this study, the first in English on the Social Gospel in French Protestantism, presents a genealogy of that movement, from its emergence in the last decades of the nineteenth century to its high point, during World War II, in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, where Trocme and many people of that area of southern France rescued hundreds of Jewish refugees. As social Christians who prayed and worked for the coming of God's kingdom on earth in the midst of a world torn by two world wars, Henri Nick and Andre Trocme combined a deep revivalist faith with a concern for the concrete conditions in which people live. They wished to "save" others, and indeed they realized that intent in ways they did not foresee.

Starck's Kids?

By: Pascale Cassagnau,Christophe Pillet

Philippe Starck's legacy through the portraits of his former apprentices As Philippe Starck gleefully clads himself in the guru's mantle, questions concerning the teaching of design and the place of the designer in the evolving relations with production become ever more acute. At the same time, there is a noticeable tendency amongst young designers to replace products by services. In this context, it would seem worthwhile to take a closer look at Philippe Starck's teaching, along with the revamped concept of the workshop by examining the subsequent development of some of the master's former assistants.

Most Excellent Way

An Essay On

By: Christophe Chalamet

Faith, hope, and love are the three core realities of Christian existence. Reflecting on the meaning these three realities have for us today, Christophe Chalamet argues that we gain a deeper understanding of them as we consider them in their interrelation, rather than separately.
