Henry IV and the Towns
This 1999 book is a serious study of Henry IV's relationship with the towns of France, and offers an in-depth analysis of a crucial aspect of his craft of kingship. Set in the context of the later Wars of Religion, it examines Henry's achievement in reforging an alliance with the towns by comparing his relationship with Catholic League, royal and Protestant towns. Annette Finley-Croswhite focuses on the symbiosis of three key issues: legitimacy, clientage and absolutism. Henry's pursuit of political legitimacy and his success at winning the support of his urban subjects is traced over the course of his reign. Clientage is examined to show how Henry used patron-client relations to win over the towns and promote acceptance of his rule. By restoring legitimacy to the monarchy, Henry not only ended the religious wars but also strengthened the authority of the crown and laid the foundations of absolutism.
Connaissance des abeilles
A l'heure où le nombre d'apiculteurs déclarés est chaque année plus important, il leur est indispensable de fonder leur pratique sur un savoir scientifique rigoureux. Mais sites Internet et ouvrages dédiés à l'apiculture se font souvent les chantres de techniques traditionnelles fondées sur le « bon sens », souvent contredites par des études scientifiques que les apiculteurs ignorent. A travers 35 fiches thématiques synhétiques (biologie, génétique, produits de la ruche, OGM...), cet ouvrage réunit les connaissances essentielles nécessaires à une apiculture rationnelle, fondées sur les travaux de recherche les plus récents. Un livre indispensable aux professionnels et comme aux passionnés d'apiculture, pour une pratique responsable et informée.
