Behind appearances, the masterpieces of mythology contain precious secrets. In their work, the authors include timeless messages addressed to History and to all mankind. So it is with the plays which Sophocles devoted to Oedipus more than 2400 years ago, which are still performed today. A new form of analysis, called transgenerational, enables us to penetrate behind the scenes, backstage in Sophocles' theatre. Actually, it is the discovery of a transgenerational structure underpinning Sophocles' work that changes everything. This discovery invites us to reconsider the entire story of Oedipus in a different light. By bringing out the unseen aspects of his work, we come to understand that Sophocles shared with the Ancients a veritable science of the "transgenerational." Through his Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus, he passes on this knowledge to use in the manner of the great tragedians, philosophers before their time, who played an important role as guides of the collective awareness of their time.

With a foreword by renowned doctor Barry Sears, The Hormone Solution is filled with self-scoring checklists, eating plans, nutritional prescription plans, and hormone shopping lists that help every reader calculate his or her personal hormone profile. Dr. Hertoghe is revolutionizing the medical field with his work, showing us how to treat chronic illnesses and the large and small aspects of aging by using preventive measures to drastically slow the aging process and its effects without costly procedures and surgeries. The Hormone Solution is a landmark publication that will revolutionize how people age, enabling us to live longer, healthier, and happier lives
This book explains why supranationalism and multiculturalism are in fact irreconcilable with representative government and the rule of law. It challenges one of the most central beliefs in contemporary legal and political philosophy, which is that borders are bound to disappear.

Supply chains are now more essential than ever to the functioning of our society; however their environmental and societal impacts are often subject to well-founded criticism. Transforming a supply chain to make it more sustainable and responsible often requires a considerable amount of time and resources. The aim of this book is to present a number of simple best practices that can reduce these negative impacts and make supply chains more virtuous. Sustainable Supply Chain Management is a handbook for supply chain transformation. It explores the different facets of the supply chain, from product design or procurement to logistics operations management and performance. It offers a guide to actions for sustainable supply chain transformation, providing elements of the legal framework for possible actions and tools for measuring the performance that can be achieved.
This book is the follow-up to Thierry Groensteen's groundbreaking The System of Comics, in which the leading French-language comics theorist set out to investigate how the medium functions, introducing the principle of iconic solidarity, and showing the systems that underlie the articulation between panels at three levels: page layout, linear sequence, and nonsequential links woven through the comic book as a whole. He now develops that analysis further, using examples from a very wide range of comics, including the work of American artists such as Chris Ware and Robert Crumb. He tests out his theoretical framework by bringing it up against cases that challenge it, such as abstract comics, digital comics and shojo manga, and offers insightful reflections on these innovations. In addition, he includes lengthy chapters on three areas not covered in the first book. First, he explores the role of the narrator, both verbal and visual, and the particular issues that arise out of narration in autobiographical comics. Second, Groensteen tackles the question of rhythm in comics, and the skill demonstrated by virtuoso artists in intertwining different rhythms over and above the basic beat provided by the discontinuity of the panels. And third he resets the relationship of comics to contemporary art, conditioned by cultural history and aesthetic traditions but evolving recently as comics artists move onto avant-garde terrain.

Au lendemain de la R?volution Fran?aise, des centaines d?ouvriers d?molissent la Bastille, d?rangeant symbole de la tyrannie monarchique. Pourtant, un si?cle plus tard, elle s levait de nouveau fi?rement dans un autre endroit de la Capitale, par la volont? d'un riche industriel de Sa?ne et Loire: Jean-Marie Perrusson ! Ce fait historique, ignor? de tous, fut malheureusement occult? par la Tour Eiffel, super star de l?Exposition Universelle de 1889. L?auteur, aid? par de nombreux documents historiques retrouv's miraculeusement en 1960 par le montchaninois Fernand Pigeat, raconte en exclusivit?, l?histoire de cette ?ph?m?re reconstruction, d?voilant enfin le v?ritable visage de la Bastille, plus r?el que n'importe quels tableaux ou gravures pr?sent's dans nos livres d'histoire? comme si la photographie avait d?j? exist? en 1789.
Behind appearances, the masterpieces of mythology contain precious secrets. In their work, the authors include timeless messages addressed to History and to all mankind. So it is with the plays which Sophocles devoted to Oedipus more than 2400 years ago, which are still performed today. A new form of analysis, called transgenerational, enables us to penetrate behind the scenes, backstage in Sophocles' theatre. Actually, it is the discovery of a transgenerational structure underpinning Sophocles' work that changes everything. This discovery invites us to reconsider the entire story of Oedipus in a different light. By bringing out the unseen aspects of his work, we come to understand that Sophocles shared with the Ancients a veritable science of the "transgenerational."

As trees have roots, we have links with our ancestors. To a greater extent than we usually assume, their DNA and life experiences live in us, with both beneficial and pathological influences. Indeed, traumas, unfinished mourning, family secrets and conflicts reverberate from generation to generation, shaping the lives of their descendants. However, and despite the influences of these transgenerational inheritances, the author reminds us that we are not a simple product of the past, nor just the fruit of our family tree. We can integrate our hidden heritages instead of having them unconsciously driving our lives. We can also identify and rewrite the false or missing parts of our genealogy. With many illustrations the author shows how analyzing our ancestors' lives helps us to understand problematic conditions and heals all kinds of symptoms. Goethe already explained: What we have received from our ancestors, we must assimilate until it becomes a part of ourselves if we want it to be an enrichment instead of a burden. This is the first time an author has merged contemporary transgenerational therapy and universal wisdoms. In his book, he also reveals how modern practices can benefit from mythological teachings, in line with the ancient maxim: Know Thyself.
Un gouvernement prend son peuple en otage, l'affame, inonde le monde de photos terribles et réclame de l'argent. L'opinion publique mondiale a réagi immédiatement, avec générosité, bravo ! Mais aussi avec aveuglement. André Glucksmann et Thierry Wolton révèlent les dessous de la plus grande opération d'aide et de charité qu'ait connue l'histoire humaine. Comment la dictature éthiopienne a laissé venir la famine, comment elle organisa et mit en scène l'information et pourquoi les institutions internationales, parfaitement au courant, couvrent les scandales et les crimes des autorités communistes locales. Informations, émotions, mobilisations, c'est sur le petit écran que se noue notre rapport à l'autre : un milliard cinq cents millions de Terriens ont regardé en même temps et les terribles images de la famine et la retransmission du plus grand concert pop et charitable. André Glucksmann et Thierry Wolton essaient de définir le principe d'une morale de l'extrême urgence qui fonde la nouvelle solidarité électronique. Dans la guerre des images, les démocraties sont en retard ; elles subissent les mises en scène terroristes sans interroger la stratégie qui les prémédite. L'URSS a pris de l'avance en Afrique, elle fournit les munitions, tandis que l'Occident livre le blé. L'Afrique rouge est bien partie.
