Basement Regions

By: Alain Godard,Jean-Jacques Lagasquie

A major area of interest in French geomorphology during the last quarter of a cen- tury has been to understand denudation chronologies and the legacies of environ- mental change in shield regions. The mechanisms and consequences on landform patterns of differential erosion in plutonic, metamorphic and related cover rocks have been approached from the double angle of structural landforms in the landscape and petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical analysis in the laboratory. The detailed study of layered igneous intrusions has been particularly helpful in making progress more generally in the understanding of crystalline landform configurations of base- ment terrains. The Laboratoire de Geographic Physique CNRS-URAiai. nowreformed as twin research units (Paris: CNRS-UMR8591, and Clermont-Ferrand: CNRS-UPRES- A6042), and itsprecursor research group at the Sorbonne under the guidance of Pierre Birot, constituted the spawning ground for French research on the geomorphology of basement terrains. Alain Godard masterminded much of the research synthesised in this volume, which isbased on apreviously publishededition in French. YannickLageat and Jean-Jacques Lagasquie have not only upheld the spirit of this school of geomor- phology but also introduced novel concepts and methods to the investigation of crys- talline terrains. They have also maintained geomorphological research abreast of con- temporarydevelopments in the geosciences. YanniGunnell translated the original text into English, adapted the figures and introduced a measure of editing, updating and explicating in order to make the volume more accessible - not only to a non franco- phone audience, but to an audience unfamiliarwith the intellectual undercurrents and 30 years.

Sports Law in France

Sports Law in France

By: Jean-Michel Marmayou

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of sports law in France deals with the regulation of sports activity by both public authorities and private sports organizations. The growing internationalization of sports inevitably increases the weight of global regulation, yet each country maintains its own distinct regime of sports law and its own national and local sports organizations. Sports law at a national or organizational level thus gains a growing relevance in comparative law. The book describes and discusses both state-created rules and autonomous self-regulation regarding the variety of economic, social, commercial, cultural, and political aspects of sports activities. Self-regulation manifests itself in the form of by-laws, and encompasses organizational provisions, disciplinary rules, and rules of play. However, the trend towards more professionalism in sports and the growing economic, social and cultural relevance of sports have prompted an increasing reliance on legal rules adopted by public authorities. This form of regulation appears in a variety of legal areas, including criminal law, labour law, commercial law, tax law, competition law, and tort law, and may vary following a particular type or sector of sport. It is in this dual and overlapping context that such much-publicized aspects as doping, sponsoring and media, and responsibility for injuries are legally measured. This monograph fills a gap in the legal literature by giving academics, practitioners, sports organizations, and policy makers access to sports law at this specific level. Lawyers representing parties with interests in France will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative sports law.

Algonquin ethnobotany

An interpretation of aboriginal adaptation in Southwestern Quebec

By: Meredith Jean Black

A compilation of published ethnobotanical data pertaining to all of the Algonkian speaking peoples of eastern North America and field data concerning the Algonquin bands of the Ottawa River drainage and the Cree bands of the St. Maurice drainage of western Quebec. These data help illuminate past subsistence patterns, the seasonal movements of the Algonquin, and the relationship between Algonquin bands and other Algonkian speakers. They also indicate that the Algonquin previously enjoyed a subarctic subsistence orientation similar to that of the Cree and other northerners in contrast to their Iroquoian neighbours thus necessitating a redefinition of the eastern subarctic culture area.

Never in Anger

Portrait of an Eskimo Family

By: Jean L. Briggs

In the summer of 1963, anthropologist Jean Briggs journeyed to the Canadian Northwest Territories (now Nunavut) to begin a seventeen-month field study of the Utku, a small group of Inuit First Nations people who live at the mouth of the Back River, northwest of Hudson Bay. Living with a family as their “adopted” daughter—sharing their iglu during the winter and pitching her tent next to theirs in the summer—Briggs observed the emotional patterns of the Utku in the context of their daily life. In this perceptive and highly enjoyable volume the author presents a behavioral description of the Utku through a series of vignettes of individuals interacting with members of their family and with their neighbors. Finding herself at times the object of instruction, she describes the training of the child toward achievement of the proper adult personality and the handling of deviations from this desired behavior.

Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

By: Georges Serratrice,Jean-Louis Vildé

G Serratrice Les organisateurs de ce symposium en ont choisi le titre: {laquo} Syndrome de fatigue chronique {raquo}, titre dont chacun des termes doit être défini avec précision, ce qui, paradoxalement, n'est pas aisé. Syndrome: ensemble de symptômes ou de signes s'observant dans des états pathologiques différents mais ne déterminant pas à eux seuls la cause de la maladie. Fatigue: symptôme plus ou moins exprimé, moteur, intellectuel, sensoriel, sexuel selon les cas. Mais aussi signe traduit par l'incapacité à maintenir une force initiale pendant un effort continu. Ceci sépare la fatigue de la faiblesse, qui est l'incapacité à produire une force. Stricto sensu, l'asthénie et la fai blesse sont équivalentes. Mais l'usage, tout au moins en France, fait souvent confondre asthénie et fatigue. Chronique enfin. C'est sans doute sur cet adjectif que s'accumulent les plus grandes ambiguités. La simple lecture du programme d'aujour d'hui indique la difficulté de se situer entre une définition stricte - chronique signi fiant {laquo} permanent {raquo}, {laquo} qui dure {raquo} - et l'usage, surtout dans l'acception anglo-améri caine, qui réserve l'appellation de chronique à une forme particulière de fatigue, parfois dite post-virale. En fait, il convient, pour une claire compréhension, de sépa rer ce que l'on pourrait nommer les états de fatigue chronique {laquo} déterminés {raquo} dans leur mécanisme et ceux qui restent {laquo} indéterminés {raquo}. A l'évidence, les états dont le mécanisme est déterminé sont très diversifiés.

Hummocks

relief de mémoire

By: Jean Malaurie

Hummocks, ces pulsions de glace déchiquetées sur la banquise sont, pour Jean Malaurie, les émergences de sa mémoire. Ce journal d'expéditions est d'abord une réflexion qui a cheminé de la pierre à l'homme. Voici un grand livre d'exploration. Il nous fait vivre, au Pôle mythique, la philosophie de la nature, panthéiste, du peuple inuit. Le premier tome de cette fresque circumpolaire suit l'itinéraire singulier de Malaurie depuis son initiation à l'Arctique comme géographe de Paul-Emile Victor, au Groenland central. Parti seul en 1950-1951, sous l'égide du CNRS, il dirige à 28 ans la "Première expédition géomorphologique et ethnographique française au nord du Groenland". Premier Européen à avoir atteint, avec l'Esquimau Kutsikitsoq, le pôle géomagnétique nord, il partage au cours de ses nombreux retours parmi ces hommes légendaires, dans l'intimité de son combat quotidien, la vie du peuple le plus septentrional du monde. Un livre célèbre, Les Derniers Rois de Thulé, traduit en 23 langues, révèle le choc civilisationnel qui a précipité les Esquimaux polaires de la préhistoire à l'âge monétaire et nucléaire. A partir des années soixante, l'auteur poursuit résolument, méthodiquement, un vaste programme scientifique d'Est en Ouest, du Groenland à la Sibérie, au cours de nombreuses missions solitaires avec les chasseurs d'ours, sur les pistes périlleuses et souvent tragiques des expéditions qui l'ont précédé dans les secteurs les plus isolés de l'Arctique central (Canada). Ces peuples racines sont les sentinelles de notre planète. Jean Malaurie a été, durant la seconde moitié du siècle, une des figures de proue de la recherche polaire et l'avocat indéfectible des autonomies inuit.
