NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • The captivating, deeply reported true story of how one of the most notorious novels ever written—Marquis de Sade’s 120 Days of Sodom—landed at the heart of one of the biggest scams in modern literary history. “Reading The Curse of the Marquis de Sade, with the Marquis, the sabotage of rare manuscript sales, and a massive Ponzi scheme at its center, felt like a twisty waterslide shooting through a sleazy and bizarre landscape.

The concept of postdoctoral training came to science and engineering about a century ago. Since the 1960s, the performance of research in the United States has increasingly relied on these recent PhDs who work on a full-time, but on a temporary basis, to gain additional research experience in preparation for a professional research career. Such experiences are increasingly seen as central to careers in research, but for many, the postdoctoral experience falls short of expectations. Some postdocs indicate that they have not received the recognition, standing or compensation that is commensurate with their experience and skills. Is this the case?

This new book offers its assessment of the postdoctoral experience and provides principles, action points, and recommendations for enhancing that experience.

Enquête sur un monde syndical à la dérive. Le directeur des ressources humaines d'Air France courant pour échapper à des délégués en colère, la chemise en lambeaux ; le port de Marseille bloqué pour la dixième fois en dix ans ; la SNCF en grève pendant le bac ou les fêtes de Noël ; une dizaine de syndicalistes en moyenne jugés en correctionnelle chaque année pour détournement de fonds... le syndicalisme français va très mal. Ces débordements, qui choquent à juste titre le grand public et les observateurs étrangers, ne sont pas l'indice d'un excès de pouvoir. Ils prouvent au contraire un affaiblissement dangereux, qui incite par exemple certaines organisations à tolér...
