Readers will find in the pages of this book a treatment of the statistical analysis of clustered survival data. Such data are encountered in many scientific disciplines including human and veterinary medicine, biology, epidemiology, public health and demography. A typical example is the time to death in cancer patients, with patients clustered in hospitals. Frailty models provide a powerful tool to analyze clustered survival data. In this book different methods based on the frailty model are described and it is demonstrated how they can be used to analyze clustered survival data. All programs used for these examples are available on the Springer website.

Enrichment

A Critique of Commodities

By: Luc Boltanski,Arnaud Esquerre

This book offers a major new account of modern capitalism and of the ways in which value and wealth are created today. Boltanski and Esquerre argue that capitalism in the West has recently undergone a fundamental transformation characterized by de-industrialization, on the one hand, and, on the other, by the increased exploitation of certain resources that, while not entirely new, have taken on unprecedented importance. It is this new form of exploitation that has given rise to what they call the ‘enrichment economy’. The enrichment economy is based less on the production of new objects and more on the enrichment of things and places that already exist. It has grown out of a combination of many different activities and phenomena, all of which involve, in their varying ways, the exploitation of the past. The enrichment economy draws upon the trade in things that are intended above all for the wealthy, thus providing a supplementary source of enrichment for the wealthy people who deal in these things and exacerbating income inequality. As opportunities to profit from the exploitation of industrial labour began to diminish, capitalism shifted its focus to expand the range of things that could be exploited. This gave rise to a plurality of different forms for making things valuable – valuing objects in terms of their properties is only one such form. The form that plays a central role in the enrichment economy is what the authors call the ‘collection form’, which values objects based on the gap they fill in a collection. This valuation process relies on the creation of narratives which enrich commodities. This wide-ranging and highly original work makes a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary societies and of how capitalism is changing today. It will be of great value to students and scholars in sociology, political economy and cultural studies, as well as to anyone interested in the social and economic transformations shaping our world.

The New Spirit of Capitalism

By: Luc Boltanski,Eve Chiapello

New edition of this major work examining the development of neoliberalism In this established classic, sociologists Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello get to the heart of contemporary capitalism. Delving deep into the latest management texts informing the thinking of employers, the authors trace the contours of a new spirit of capitalism. They argue that beginning in the mid-1970s, capitalism abandoned the hierarchical Fordist work structure and developed a new network-based form of organization founded on employee initiative and autonomy in the workplace—a putative freedom bought at the cost of material and psychological security. This was a spirit in tune with the libertarian and romantic currents of the period (as epitomized by dressed-down, cool capitalists such as Bill Gates and Ben and Jerry) and, as the authors argue, a more successful, pernicious, and subtle form of exploitation. In this new edition, the authors reflect on the reception of the book and the debates it has stimulated.

CORNÉLIUS et la Prophétie du Crépuscule

By: luc BOLLINGER

Voici que viennes les jours sombresOù tout ce qui a été ne sera plus.Après que le monde ne se soit enflammé deux fois,Après la chute des deux Géants,Viendra le jour où le sang sera verséSur le Sol Sacré.Le monde basculera alors dans le chaosEt la terreur.Les Douze se rassemblerontEt se battront jusqu'au dernierMais chacune de leurs victoiresEntraînera un peu plus le mondeDans les ténèbres.Par une nuit sans luneDans un berceau de flammesL'homme du NordLe fils des Hautes-TerresL'enfant du FerEt la Dame du LacDécideront du sort du monde.Que jamais le monde ne connaisseCes temps obscurs et ténébreuxCar le dernier survivantA été, estEt seraPour l'éternité.Et ce sera pour les hommesLe dernier crépuscule...

Le Corbusier. Les Quartiers Modernes Frugès / The Quartiers Modernes Frugès

By: Marylène Ferrand,Jean-Pierre Feugas,Bernard Le Roy,Jean-Luc Veyret

in 1923/24 Henry Frugès, a Bordeaux industrialist commissioned Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret with a "small workers housing estate" in Lège and a garden city in Pessac, comprising 130 to 150 houses with shops. These two housing schemes fitted neatly into the architects research on standardisation and the "machine à habiter", and provided a useful laboratory for gauging public opinion with regard to mass-production techniques in housing estates. One of the most striking features of the Cité Frugès was the use of polychromy on the exterior facades, to, in Le Corbusier's own words, "sculpt the space through the physical quality of colour - bring forward some volumes while making others recede. In short, compose with colour in the same way as we have composed with form. This is how architecture is transformed into urbanism." Historical documents and drawings make this handy-sized volume an invaluable guide for visitors and a practical introduction for all architectural enthusiasts.

Open-air schools

an educational and architectural venture in twentieth-century Europe

By: Anne-Marie Châtelet,Dominique Lerch,Jean-Noël Luc

L'histoire des écoles de plein air se situe au carrefour de l'histoire de l'école, de l'enfance, de la médecine, de l'architecture et de la ville. Cette institution naît avec le XXe siècle. Destinée à des enfants pré-tuberculeux, elle s'ouvre ensuite à d'autres publics : enfants affaiblis, atteints de déficiences physiques ou mentales, enfants des quartiers populaires. Des pédagogues novateurs rejoignent les médecins pour concevoir une institution qui associe une pédagogie particulière, des soins spécifiques et une alimentation rationnelle. Des architectes multiplient les projets et réalisent plusieurs bâtiments emblématiques, comme l'école de plein air d'Amsterdam de J. Duiker ou celle de Suresnes de E. Beaudouin et M. Lods. Ces écoles apparaissent, à travers les dix pays européens ici évoqués, comme un laboratoire pédagogique, un lieu de développement de la médecine préventive, un instrument d'une politique municipale de l'enfance et un espace d'innovation architecturale.
