Genetics of Domestications

By: Georges Pelletier

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The domestication of plants, animals and microorganisms has enabled the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, the processing of their products and, ultimately, civilizations. The species concerned by domestication, the regions of the world where it could take place, the clues that enable us to identify wild ancestors, the particularly morphological or physiological properties that characterize it, the modified genes, the genetic exchanges that domesticated organisms maintained with their wild ancestors, and the consequences of the structuring of the species that resulted in animal breeds or plant varieties, are all questions that develop studies in the fields of archaeology, sociology, ecology and genetics. Genetics of Domestications deals with the contribution of modern methods of genetic analysis and genomics to historical knowledge of domestications, their nature and diversity, based on examples of twelve species or groups of species.

Rural Economy and Country Life in the Medieval West

By: Georges Duby

One of the most important, imaginative, solidly documented, well written books of medieval history that I have ever read. . . . It offers a unique combination of synthetic power and analytic perception, of bold judgment and Cartesian doubt, of hard economic facts and subtle psychological considerations."--

Social Structures and Natural Systems

Is a Scientific Assemblage Workable?

By: Georges Guille-Escuret

Trapped between the caricatured causalities of biological determinism and the sinister abdications of sociological relativism, socio-ecological interdisciplinarity stagnates. It has lost sight of the ambition of a long-term program and no longer works to conduct applied research on the concrete prerequisites for reliable cooperation, despite an accumulation of emergencies. The difficulty lies in the general and prolonged abandonment of necessary procedures under the influence of hidden philosophical presumptions. In the end, ecology, sociology, history, economics, agronomy, etc. are seriously handicapped by the absence of a common epistemology of comparative practice, an absence maintained by the dominant epistemology itself. Social Structures and Natural Systems seeks to demonstrate, with regard to social anthropology and ecology, a scientific compatibility of research subject to methodological requirements that are deductible from the conditions of the existence of science itself. All of this boils down to one observation: this book will be a success if, and only if, it becomes a beginning.

Seurat, 1859-1891

By: Robert L. Herbert,Georges Seurat,Galeries nationales du Grand Palais (France)

A volume which embodies an entire generation of scholarship on the artist. Seurat's brief but brilliant career is traced from his early academic drawings of the 1870s to the paintings of popular entertainments and the serene landscapes of his final years.

The most fabulous Fables of the 17 Th century

La fontaine Tome I

By: Georges Ballin,Jean de La Fontaine

FOR children who grew up in France before the Second World War, memorizing the fables of the 17th century poet Jean de La Fontaine was a ritual as familiar as daily snacks of bread and bitter chocolate, placing bulletins under the tree for Santa's reading, or at the search for the little white china that Jesus buried in our cake Epiphany on the sixth day of the new year. Had the praise of a peer or teacher gone to our heads? The fable of the Fox and the Raven is born: the Fox, hungry for the cheese held in the Raven's beak, flatters the bird by trying to prove that its song is as dazzling as its plumage (rarage), and collects the delicious prize when the crow opens its beak to sing. Do we have too much confidence in appearances, our own and those of others? One of La Fontaine's many antidotes to this weakness is his tale of The Lion and the Gnat: the king of beasts arrogantly declares war on a humble insect, and is quickly defeated and slaughtered by the pernicious stings of the pipsqueak. GeorgesBallin The Most Fabulous Fables fables of the 17 Th Century « Tome I » On textx from La Fontaine POUR les enfants qui ont grandi en France avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mémoriser les fables du poète du XVIIe si Jean de La Fontaine était un rituel aussi familier que les collations quotidiennes de pain et de chocolat amer, le placement des bulletins sous le sapin pour la lecture du Père Noël, ou à la recherche de la petite porcelaine blanche que Jésus a enterrée dans notre gâteau de l'Épiphanie le sixième jour de la nouvelle année. Les éloges d'un pair ou d'un enseignant nous étaient-ils montés à la tête ? La fable du Renard et du Corbeau est née : le Renard, affamé du fromage tenu dans la bec du Corbeau, flatte l'oiseau en essayant de prouver que son chant est aussi éblouissant que son plumage (ramage), et récupère le délicieux prix lorsque le corbeau ouvre son bec pour chanter.Avons-nous trop confiance dans les apparences, les nôtres et celles des autres ? L'un des nombreux antidotes de La Fontaine cette faiblesse est son conte du Lion et du Moucheron : le roi des bêtes déclare avec arrogance la guerre à un humble insecte, et est rapidement vaincu et massacré par les piqûres pernicieuses du pipsqueak.
