Forces of Nature and Cultural Responses
How do and how did people perceive, manage and respond to natural disasters? How are the causes of natural disasters explained in history, how are they explained today? This volume investigates relationships between forces of nature and human culture in a multidisciplinary context bridging science and the humanities. Forces of nature and cultural responses is divided into four sections: (1) ball lightnings, (2) earthquakes and tsunamis, (3) volcanic eruptions and plagues, and (4) hurricanes and floodings. Specifically, Section 1 investigates theories and case studies of ball lightning phenomena. Section 2 includes a psychological study on the impact of earthquakes on academic performance, a ...
Economy and Society in Burgundy Since 1850
First Published in 1984 Economy and Society in Burgundy Since 1850 provides a comprehensive overview of the modern history of Burgundy. Burgundy is best known for its wine and its capital of Dijon is most often associated with mustard. Yet the region’s modern history is more than a history of gastronomy. The coming of the railways in the 1850s greatly changed the economic life of the area, spurring the growth of Dijon and contributing to rural depopulation. Agricultural crises throughout the nineteenth century, such as phylloxera epidemic in the vineyards, caused further dislocation in rural life. Even in the twentieth century, the countryside remained agricultural while the city of Dijon owes its dynamism to the expansion of the service sector rather than to heavy industry. This book argues that this evolution -modernisation without industrialization- is not a matter of economic retardation but of the suitability of the region’s natural resources and the intentional choice of its population. Rich in archival sources this book is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of French history, European history, and modern history.

Climats et sociétés
L'OUVRAGE Face à des présupposés, il est facile de nier le déterminisme climatique. Pour autant on ne peut soutenir que les hommes vivent sans lien avec le climat au sein du « milieu géographique ». La notion systémique de « potentiel climatique », fil conducteur de ce livre, dégage des relations entre les composantes « physiques » du climat (structures, variabilité, normales et écarts, accidents) et les composantes sociologiques, démographiques, économiques, politiques et culturelles. L'ouvrage met l'accent sur certains éléments qui interagissent pour former le complexe climatique ou social et interviennent de manière plus soutenue. Ainsi le manque d'eau contraint les ho...
The Descendants of Jean Monty, 1693(?)-1755
Jean Monty (ca. 1693-1755) was the son of Dominge Monty and Jeanne Benoist. Jean emigrated from France to Canada ca. 1727, and settled in Chambly, Quebec. In 1729, Jean married Marie Marthe Poyer, the daughter of Jaques Poyer and Marguerite Dubois. Jean and Marie had fourteen children. Other Monty (and variant spellings) came from Austria, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Russia, and Switzerland. Many families lived Quebec (Canada) for several generations. Others migrated into Connecticut and New York in the 1700's. During the 1800's, some moved to California, the Dakota Territories, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Later descendants and relatives also lived in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming, and elsewhere.
