The First European

A History of Alexander in the Age of Empire

By: Pierre Briant

Enlightenment thinkers, searching for ancient models to understand contemporary affairs, were the first to critically interpret Alexander the Great’s achievements. As Pierre Briant shows, in their minds Alexander was the first European: an empire builder who welcomed trade with the “Orient” and brought Western civilization to its oppressed peoples.

Rare Earths

Science, Technology, Production and Use

By: Jacques Lucas,Pierre Lucas,Thierry Le Mercier,Alain Rollat,William G. Davenport

High-technology and environmental applications of the rare-earth elements (REE) have grown dramatically in diversity and importance over the past four decades. This book provides a scientific understanding of rare earth properties and uses, present and future. It also points the way to efficient recycle of the rare earths in end-of-use products and efficient use of rare earths in new products. Scientists and students will appreciate the book's approach to the availability, structure and properties of rare earths and how they have led to myriad critical uses, present and future. Experts should buy this book to get an integrated picture of production and use (present and future) of rare earths and the science behind this picture. This book will prove valuable to.non-scientists as well in order to get an integrated picture of production and use of rare earths in the 21st Century, and the science behind this picture. - Defines the chemical, physical and structural properties of rare earths. - Gives the reader a basic understanding of what rare earths can do for us. - Describes uses of each rare earth with chemical, physics, and structural explanations for the properties that underlie those uses. - Allows the reader to understand how rare earths behave and why they are used in present applications and will be used in future applications. - Explains to the reader where and how rare earths are found and produced and how they are best recycled to minimize environmental impact and energy and water consumption.

Justine Ward and Solesmes

By: Pierre Combe

Dom Combe presents the reader a sharply focused profile of a dedicated and extraordinary woman of the 20th century, Henry James'sister-in-law, independent in spirit and passionately devoted for more than 60 years to the cause of Gregorian Chant and its liturgical implementation. Drawing on her voluminous correspondence, he traces the main events of her life following her conversion in 1904 to the Catholic Church. From these letters emerges the clear image of a fiercely strong-willed and gracious woman who pursued her ideals with relentless zeal.

Cytokines and Joint Injury

By: Wim B. van den Berg,Pierre Miossec

This topical insight in the role of cytokines in joint inflammation and joint destruction is important for a better understanding of key processes in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Apart from the impact of well-known and novel cytokines on joint tissues, the various chapters address the issue of targeted therapy with biological response modifiers and future interventions with carefully designed inhibitors. Special attention is given to elements of synovial cell activation, cell-cell interaction, cytokine interplay as well as mechanisms of cartilage destruction and bone erosion. New information on the novel cytokines IL-15, IL-17 and IL-18 and their position in the complex cytokine interplay is provided, in addition to an outline of the role of established cytokines, such as TNF, IL-1 and IL-6. Cytokine regulation of destructive enzymes, RANKL, the endogenous inhibitor OPG and their crucial roles as central players in joint erosion are highlighted. This volume gives a complete and balanced view on pivotal cytokines and joint pathology for the biomedical and clinical researcher.

Does the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Rhizophagus Irregularis Mitigate Late Blight in Potato Plants?

By: Pierre-Louis Alaux

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of the largest food crop worldwide, the production of which is also threatened by Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight. A potential alternative or combined approach to copper treatment is the use of beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).

Flexible Intramedullary Nailing in Children

The Nancy University Manual

By: Pierre Lascombes

Over the past three decades, the flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) technique that originated in the University of Nancy in France has evolved to the point where it is becoming the gold standard for the treatment of many fractures in children. This comprehensive textbook on FIN is written by Pierre Lascombes and his colleagues from the University of Nancy and covers all its potential applications. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on general considerations such as biomechanics, choice of implant, basic principles of surgical technique, and rehabilitation. The second part describes in detail the techniques developed for each particular fracture type with the aid of numerous high-quality illustrations. In the final part, a range of further indications for FIN in children are discussed. By clearly explaining the basic principles and various uses of FIN, this book will prove of value to both novice and experienced traumatologists and orthopedic surgeons.

William Shakespeare, "As You Like It"

By: Pierre Iselin,François Laroque,Jean-Marie Maguin

Shakespeare's dramatic pastoral raises problems of its own, as the extreme artifice of its construction and style may rebuff a modern audience. Defined as a conversation play, As You Like It is also a motley play which insistently elaborates a discourse on the limits of representation and stylistic appropriation. The play certainly represents Shakespeare's most faithful dramatic adaptation of a narrative source - hence the particular signifiance of such concepts as tranlation, citation, set speeches, (re)-writing, disguise, narrative and debate. This volume includes a study of the play's context - Shakespearean and otherwise - essays and commentaries by three Shakespearean scholars, whose approach has mainly been the specific exercises of the agrégation and CAPES (dissertation, commentaire de texte, leçon, explication de texte).

"And that’s true too"

New Essays on King Lear

By: Pierre Iselin,François Laroque

This collection of provocative new essays, mainly by French scholars, on Shakespeare’s great tragedy, focuses on linguistic, aesthetic and philosophical issues with specific attention paid to the dimension of early modern desire, sexuality and gender relations. King Lear is here re-examined in the perspective of Lucrece, Montaigne, Renaissance medicine and anatomy, the grotesque, myth and imagery as well as negative theology. It is hoped that this will serve to update our approaches to this elusive, undecided play, neither Christian nor as completely nihilistic as some critics have argued, which nevertheless remains quite popular on French and English stages alike.
