Manipulative Tenants
In the English edition of his landmark book Endosymbiosis of Animals with Plant Microorganisms (1965), Professor Paul Buchner is probably the most prominent founder of systematic symbiosis research. Summarizing the most up-to-date information available on bacterial symbionts of arthropods, this text provides an overview of primary symbionts as well as the most abundant secondary symbionts known to date. To encourage the integration of theory and practice in efforts to find innovative routes to pest and disease management, the editors bring together entomologists and microbiologists to create a full picture of the complex systems. Including diagrams, tables, graphs, pictures, and chemical structures, the text offers comprehensive information and a unique perspective on a fast-growing field.
King Lear
Is King Lear an autonomous text, or a rewrite of the earlier and anonymous play King Leir? Should we refer to Shakespeare’s original quarto when discussing the play, the revised folio text, or the popular composite version, stitched together by Alexander Pope in 1725? What of its stage variations? When turning from page to stage, the critical view on King Lear is skewed by the fact that for almost half of the four hundred years the play has been performed, audiences preferred Naham Tate's optimistic adaptation, in which Lear and Cordelia live happily ever after. When discussing King Lear, the question of what comprises ‘the play’ is both complex and fragmentary. These issues of identit...
Operando Research in Heterogeneous Catalysis
This book is devoted to the emerging field of techniques for visualizing atomic-scale properties of active catalysts under actual working conditions, i.e. high gas pressures and high temperatures. It explains how to understand these observations in terms of the surface structures and dynamics and their detailed interplay with the gas phase. This provides an important new link between fundamental surface physics and chemistry, and applied catalysis. The book explains the motivation and the necessity of operando studies, and positions these with respect to the more traditional low-pressure investigations on the one hand and the reality of industrial catalysis on the other. The last decade has ...

Naples et ses saints à l'âge baroque, 1540-1750
À la fin du XVIe siècle, le Royaume de Naples adhère massivement au catholicisme de la Contre-Réforme, qui modèle profondément sa vie culturelle pendant près de quatre siècles. Le culte des Saints constitue l'une des manifestations les plus spectaculaires - et les plus originales - de cette religion "baroque". Plusieurs indicateurs permettent de définir les cadres de la croyance, et de suivre l'évolution de la vie religieuse du royaume, de la fin du Concile de Trente au Siècle des Lumières. Mais le noyau central de cette recherche est organisé autour d'une bonne centaine d'individus, hommes et femmes, qui ont vécu et qui sont morts avec une réputation de sainteté. Tous n'ont pas été béatifiés, ni canonisés par l'Église ; la plupart ont connu un destin plus obscur. Pour comprendre la manière dont les Saints ont conçu leur rôle d'intercesseurs entre les hommes et la divinité, et ce que les fidèles exigeaient d'eux en retour, des miracles essentiellement, l'histoire doit recourir à l'approche anthropologique. La comparaison avec les formes connues de chamanisme s'impose ; elle autorise à considérer les Saints comme des chamanes chrétiens.
