Quatre contes cruels qui nous plongent sans détour dans le milieu carcéral français avec toute sa violence, son absurdité et son (in)humanité.

Journal d’une bipolaire est le récit autobiographique bouleversant d’une jeune femme en proie à une fluctuation anormale des troubles de l’humeur.
Bienvenue en prison. Ici, le sable du temps s'écoule plus lentement qu'à l'extérieur. Les grains doivent être plus gros. Guy partage sa cellule avec Vic, un héroïnomane, et Hassane, un SDF cambrioleur de bas étage à la santé précaire. Cela fait quelques jours que ce dernier se tord de douleurs dans son lit. Malgré ses demandes de soins répétées, l'administration pénitentiaire fait preuve d'une indifférence coupable. Malheureusement, la situation d'Hassane n'est pas une exception. Derrière les portes d'acier vit aussi Toufik, un détenu psychotique oppressé par cet environnement pathogène, et Audrey, une surveillante tombée tristement amoureuse d'un détenu. Les quatre contes cruels de Prison dressent le portrait d'un écosystème opaque et inhumain, où privation de liberté rime avec violence, privation de soin, de silence, de vie sexuelle et d'amour. Avec, au final, un constat sans appel : la détention ne réinsère pas. Elle sanctionne, elle brime, elle humilie, elle favorise le suicide et la récidive. La prison, cette Ogresse, ne protège personne. Elle les déshumanise.Postface de la Ligue des droits de l'Homme.
Presented at the International Association of Hydrogeologists Dijon Symposium, this book contains 43 selected papers, grouped into six topics, that address the following issues: large aquifers, resource assessment; large aquifers, water salinity and evolution; karstic and carbonate aquifer systems; geothermal aquifer systems; aquifer contamination studies; and aquifer monitoring systems and management. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darcy's Law, the volume includes a summary of Darcy's life and his contribution to science, and five invited contributions on modern methods to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of aquifers.
By 2050, the demand for water to sustain world agriculture will increase by seventy-five per cent in order to feed an estimated nine billion inhabitants. Increased amounts of water will be required for irrigation and for industrial and domestic use. Natural ecosystems will be threatened by the expansion of agricultural land and by a reduction in water availability, while climate change will exacerbate the situation. Management of available resources, particularly groundwater, will become more critical and aquifers will need to be managed for the benefit of all. These selected papers were first presented at the International Association of Hydrogeologists, Dijon 2006, and are divided into six themes: large aquifers, resource assessment; large aquifers, water salinity and evolution; karstic and carbonate aquifer systems; geothermal aquifer systems; aquifer contamination studies and aquifer monitoring systems and management. The volume also includes a short biography of Henry Darcy and illustrates his contribution to science. Five invited contributions describe modern methods for estimating the hydraulic conductivity of aquifers.
This book explores the history of migration in Switzerland from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It brings together recent scholarship on Switzerland in the field of cultural and migration studies, as well as migration history, and combines various research approaches from postcolonial studies, transnational studies, border studies, and history of knowledge. Since the late nineteenth century, Switzerland has gradually transformed into a migration society, becoming one of the countries in Europe with the highest percentage of migrant population. While migration has become one of most contentious issues in Swiss public and political debates, the volume also shows how migrants have developed various strategies to deal with the country’s discriminatory policies and distinct institutional settings. The authors of the volume convincingly challenge the view that Switzerland still does not represent a migration (or even post-migrant) society and substantially contributes to the long overdue acknowledgement of Switzerland in migration history and studies at the international level.

"Agriculture is rightly blamed as a major culprit of our climate crisis. But in this groundbreaking new book, Eric Toensmeier argues that agriculture--specifically, the subset of practices known as "carbon farming"--can, and should be, a linchpin of a global climate solutions platform"--
