It begins with nineteen-year-old Emmanuelle’s flight from London to join her husband in Bangkok. On the airplane, she is seduced by the passenger seated next to her. By the time they land, she has indulged her irrepressible and insatiable sexual appetite, embarking on an odyssey of hedonistic sensual discovery that takes her from the arms of her husband to intimate encounters with the wives of his business associates, to further explorations wherein the philosophical and aesthetic facets of eroticism are expounded—and enacte...
Short-listed for the 2003 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction A world exists on the nighttime streets that the average person cannot envision. Taxi driver Peter McSherry recounts tales of his thirty years of experience driving cabs at night on the hard-bitten streets of Canada's largest city. Drunks, punks, con artists, hookers, pimps, drug addicts, drug pushers, thugs, nymphomaniacs, snakes, politicians, celebrities . . . he's experienced them all. McSherry serves up his stories with forthrightness, humour, and the occasional dash of cynicism. In this well-written and street-smart book, the author tells the rest of us about a world we can only imagine - if we dare.
Qu’est-ce qui peut bien pousser un homme à divorcer deux heures après s’être marié ? Un déferlement de rebondissements et de quiproquos ahurissants, des répliques percutantes, tels sont les ingrédients de cette comédie à l’anglaise d’un ton résolument moderne où sept personnages se déchaînent à un rythme d’enfer.

Drawing from the disciplines of cognitive science, Paleolithic anthropology, art history, and semiotics, Karen A. Haworth and Terry J. Prewitt offer a novel discussion of the origins of language, based primarily in the distinction of holistic versus analytical cognitive processing. Also, by employing a refined view of human symboling capacities grounded in the writings of C. S. Peirce, they provide a short but comprehensive explanation of what the artifacts and art of the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods suggest about language origins. Their interpretation supports a semiotic argument that “iconic and indexical logical modeling” precedes human elaboration of experience by symbolic refe...
This volume contains the speech given by Derrida at Emmanuel Levinas’s funeral on December 27, 1995, and his contribution to a colloquium organized to mark the first anniversary of Levinas’s death. In this book, Derrida extends his work on Levinas in previously unexplored directions via a radical rereading of Totality and Infinity and the lesser-known Talmudic writings.
Les rencontres Intelligence Collective organisées à l'initiative du projet de recherche Cyclone, sur le site de Nîmes de l'Ecole des mines d'Alès du 22 au 24 mai 2006 ont réuni un ensemble de chercheurs en sciences cognitives, sciences de l'information et de la communication, sciences humaines et sociales. Les participants ont contribué à dresser un état de l'art de l'intelligence collective comme hypothèse relative à la capacité d'un groupe d'acteurs humains et d'agents artificiels à atteindre dans l'action commune une performance supérieure à l'addition des performances individuelles. L'idée de l'intelligence collective trouve des fondements dans le monde animal utilisés avec profit en intelligence artificielle. Mais tiendra-t-elle ses promesses dans les organisations humaines notamment avec le support des technologies du web? Les expériences de terrain permettent-elles de dégager des modèles opérationnels ? Une approche interdisciplinaire apparaît comme la seule voie réaliste pour répondre à ces questions essentielles.
