Finding the Lost Battalion: Beyond the Rumors, Myths and Legends of America's Famous WW1 Epic - Hardcover
Since its release in 2006, 'Finding the Lost Battalion' by Robert J. Laplander has become the benchmark work against which all things Lost Battalion related have been measured. Now, in this updated 3rd edition released to coincide with the centennial of America's entry into WW1, Mr. Laplander again takes us to the Charlevaux Ravine to delve deeper into the story than ever before! Meticulously chronicling what would become arguably the most famous event of America's part in the war, we find the truths behind the legend. Spanning twenty years of research and hundreds of sources (most never before seen), the reader is led through the Argonne Forest during September and October, 1918 virtually hour by hour. The result is the single most factual accounting of the Lost Battalion story and their leader, Charles W. Whittlesey, to date. Told in an entertaining, fast moving style, the book has become a favorite the world over! With new Forward by Major-General William Terpeluk, US Army (Ret).
The Medieval Imagination

"Le Goff is one of the most distinguished of the French medieval historians of his generation . . . he has exercised immense influence."—Maurice Keen, New York Review of Books "The whole book turns on a fascinating blend of the brutally materialistic and the generously imaginative."—Tom Shippey, London Review of Books "The richness, imaginativeness and sheer learning of Le Goff's work . . . demand to be experienced."—M. T. Clanchy, Times Literary Supplement
Double page
Ce livre repose sur une règle du jeu proposée aux 45 graphistes participants : sélectionner dans la production de ces dix dernières années deux ouvrages d'art contemporain particulièrement intéressants pour leur mise ne forme, photographier une double page dans chacune d'entre eux, et éventuellement commenter ce choix. Double page propose ainsi, à travers les contributions photographiques de graphistes eux-mêmes impliqués dans ce domaine et internationalement reconnus, un aperçu de la création actuelle dans l'édition d'art contemporain. Eclairant de façon inédite les relations entre art et graphisme aujourd'hui, ce livre témoigne d'une conception du design comme pratique éditoriale à part entière, et apporte une documentation exceptionnelle sur la manière dont les graphistes observent le travail de leurs pairs...
