Les lieux de mobilité en question
Le lieu n’est pas mort ! Bien au contraire, il reste au coeur de l’expérience quotidienne (ou exceptionnelle) de tout un chacun. La mondialisation ne l’a en rien vidé de sa substance. En ce début de XXIe, elle le réactive et le met en mouvement. Flux, trajectoires, accélérations, massifications en sont des variables, des enjeux et des catégories d’analyses clés que cet ouvrage fait le pari d’explorer. Résolument interdisciplinaire, il choisit d’aborder les lieux au prisme des mobilités pour poser les jalons de ce que sont aujourd’hui les « lieux de mobilité ». Ce faisant, il réactualise la réflexion entreprise par les géographes anglosaxons à partir des années...
The Oxford Companion to Cheese
The Oxford Companion to Cheese answers a clear call for the kind of subject-defining reference work that The Oxford Companion to Wine achieved. It is the first truly comprehensive cheese book, containing 855 A-Z scholarly, yet accessible entries on the history, culture, and science of cheese making and cheese enjoyment, worldwide. An astonishing 325 authors contributed entries, residing in 35 countries. They included cheesemakers, cheesemongers, dairy scientists, anthropologists, food historians, journalists, archaeologists, and on, from backgrounds as diverse as the topics they write about. This landmark encyclopedia is the most wide-ranging, comprehensive, and reliable reference work on cheese available.

Re-presentation Policies of the Fashion Industry
The book studies the way the luxurious fashion develops re-presentational politics by reinvesting symbolic fields such as art and culture, religion and the sacred as well as politics, in other words fields that represent a certain common pattern of life and a common interest. I develop a semiotic approach of the way art exhibitions, print and audiovisual advertising, publishing and distribution politics as well as special ready to wear collaborations with arts such as Jeff Koons reveal the fashion industrys gesture of pretending being a non-commercial structure especially in order to cover up its industrialisation and banalization process
The Oxford Handbook of Global Health Politics
Controlling a major infectious disease outbreak or reducing rising rates of diabetes worldwide is not just about applying medical science. Protecting and promoting health is inherently a political endeavor that requires understanding of who gets what, where, and why. The Oxford Handbook of Global Health Politics presents the most comprehensive overview of how and why power lies at the heart of global health determinants and outcomes. The chapters are written by internationally recognized experts working at the intersection of politics and global health. The wide-ranging chapters provide key insights for understanding how advances in global health cannot be achieved without attention to political actors, processes, and outcomes.
Renewing the Family: A History of the Baby Boomers
This book traces the history of the baby-boomers, beginning with an explanation of the cause of the post-war baby boom and ending with the contemporary concerns of ageing boomers. It shows how the baby-boomers challenged traditional family attitudes and adopted new lifestyles in the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on 90 interviews conducted with baby boomers living in London and Paris, the book demonstrates how their aspirations for leisure and consumption converged with family responsibilities and obligations. It shows how the baby boomers emerged from an authoritative upbringing to challenge some of the traditional assumptions of the family, such as marriage and cohabitation. The rise of feminism...
