Al-'Iqd al-Farid (The Unique Necklace) is one of the classics of Arabic literature. Compiled in several volumes by an Andalusian scholar and poet named Ibn 'Abd Rabbih (246-328 A.H. / 860-940 C.E.), it remains a wealth of information about various elements of Arab culture and letters during the four centuries before Ibn 'Abd Rabbih's death. Essentially, it is a book of adab, a term understood in modern times to specifically mean literature, but in earlier times its meaning included all that a well-informed person had to know in order to pass in society as a cultured and refined individual.

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality.
This book details the design and technology of the on-line electric vehicle (OLEV) system and its enabling wireless power-transfer technology, the “shaped magnetic field in resonance” (SMFIR). The text shows how OLEV systems can achieve their three linked important goals: reduction of CO2 produced by ground transportation; improved energy efficiency of ground transportation; and contribution to the amelioration or prevention of climate change and global warming. SMFIR provides power to the OLEV by wireless transmission from underground cables using an alternating magnetic field and the reader learns how this is done. This cable network will in future be part of any local smart grid for e...
C'est l'histoire d'une descente en enfer. C'est le récit d'une vie gâchée, d'un enfant battu qui vécut son premier placement dès sept ans par décision d'un juge de la jeunesse. J'ai connu Farid Bamouhammad, jeune adolescent placé au centre fermé pour délinquants juvéniles de Braine-le-Château. J'étais un jeune sous-directeur pédagogique du Ministère de la Justice. Lui était déjà considéré par ses pairs comme un dur, une tête brûlée. Une certaine presse le surnommait déjà " Farid le fou " tant son comportement était rebelle, parfois déraisonnable, au sens où nous, adultes, ne pouvions comprendre ses gestes insensés apparemment gratuits, hors des normes communément...
