Joan of Arc
Warrior, martyr, saint: Joan of Arc has captivated imaginations around the world for centuries. The legendary heroine of a tumultuous episode from the Hundred Years' War, Joan led the French army to triumph over the English at the Siege of Orléans in 1429. Two years later the 19-year-old was captured by the enemy and their French collaborators, charged with heresy, and burned at the stake — the end of her life but the beginning of her enduring fame. This expertly translated and lavishly illustrated biography traces The Maid of Orléans' progress from ordinary peasant girl to seer of mystic visions to savior of France.

L' Action française
De la Belle Époque à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Charles Maurras et l'Action française constituent un pôle important de la vie politique et culturelle de la France. Le système doctrinal que propose le «nationalisme intégral», ses thèmes récurrents sont connus : l'hostilité à la Révolution, l'antirépublicanisme,l'antiparlementarisme,l'antilibéralisme, l'antisémitisme, l'anti-individualisme... Afin de mieux évaluer le degré d'imprégnation de la société française par le maurrassisme, les contributions réunies ici approfondissent l'examen d'aspects déjà abordés du mouvement d'extrême droite; elles en interrogent d'autres, peu ou mal connus, par des approches sociocultu...
European Modernism and the Information Society
Uniting a team of international and interdisciplinary scholars, this volume considers the views of early twentieth-century European thinkers on the creation, dissemination and management of publicly available information. Interdisciplinary in perspective, the volume reflects the nature of the thinkers discussed, including Otto Neurath, Patrick Geddes, the English Fabians, Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald and H. G. Wells. The work also charts the interest since the latter part of the nineteenth century in finding new ways to think about and to manage the growing body of available information in order to achieve aims such as the advancement of Western civilization, the alleviation of inequalities across classes and countries, and the promotion of peaceful coexistence between nations. In doing so, the contributors provide a novel historical context for assessing widely-held assumptions about today's globalized, 'post modern' information society. This volume will interest all who are curious about the creation of a modern networked information society.
