Handbooks and Anthologies for Officials in Imperial China (2 vols)
The 1,165 entries of Handbooks and Anthologies for Officials in Imperial China by Pierre-Étienne Will and collaborators provide a descriptive list of extant manuscript and printed works—mainly from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties—created with the aim to instruct officials and other administrators of imperial China about the technical and ethical aspects of government, and to provide tools and guides to help with the relevant procedures. Both generalist and specialized texts are considered. Among the latter, such disciplines as the administration of justice, famine relief, and the military receive particular attention. Each entry includes the publishing history of the work considered (including modern editions), an analysis of contents, and a biographical sketch of the author.
Pluraliteit van de levenskunsten
We staan op de grens van twee grote culturele tijdperken. De opkomst van nieuwe technologieën, alsook de toenemende mondialisering van de wereld, openen de weg naar een nieuwe, nog niet geheel uitgekristalliseerde levenswijze. Wanneer oude maatschappelijk- culturele patronen tanende zijn, terwijl alternatieve vormen nog niet hun definitieve beslag hebben gekregen, is er een periode waarin de mens zich kan bevrijden van culturele maskers en kunstmatige constructies. Dit soort tussenperiodes zijn interessant voor persoonlijke ervaringen, innerlijke verdieping en doorbraken in de menselijke conditie. Door de voortdurende maatschappelijk-technologische transformatie krijgen we voor het eerst in...
The Network Experience
Digital networking technologies are empowering organizations to form dynamic networks, generating exceptional or ‘smart’ results. These Smart Business Networks (SBNs) enable individual organizations to compete more effectively and to respond better to a changing world. This idea attracted a diverse group of academic scholars and business professionals to Beijing from May 19-23, 2008, hosted by Tsinghua University. They discovered new ways to manage network resources, operate business processes across a network, create a business operations platform, understand the importance of network position and the smart mastering of technology. Effective managers, they concluded, must have a firm understanding of these fundamental network concepts in order to orchestrate the networks of the future. This book presents the results of an intense and energizing event which resulted in new theoretical foundations and practical insights.

Pyrénées préhistoriques : arts et sociétés
« Il n'y a plus de Pyrénées », déclarait Louis XIV lorsqu'en 1700, son petit-fils devint roi d'Espagne sous le nom de Philippe V. Cette affirmation n'était qu'un mot historique, puisqu'il fut suivi par de nombreuses guerres, à commencer par celle qui fut appelée « de Succession d'Espagne » (1701-1713). Malgré notre souverain, et malgré la construction de la Communauté européenne, les Pyrénées existent toujours et maintiennent, entre les deux pays, une frontière qui est notamment politique, économique, linguistique et culturelle. Qu'en était-il à l'époque préhistorique ? Les Pyrénées existaient, mais ne formaient pas un mur infranchissable, tout au moins à leurs deux ...
