Chemical and Biological Microsensors
This book reviews the state of art in the field of chemical sensors for analyses of ionic or molecular species dissolved in liquid media, mainly in aqueous solutions. The transduction of such devices is based on chemical, biological and physical phenomena. The fundamental phenomena involved in these sensors are described in the different chapters by specialists having a good expertise in the field. Numerous recent bibliographic references are given. Most of the devices could be miniaturised using modern technologies allowing a fabrication on a large scale, for a mass production at low cost. Moreover, such devices could open the field of applications in a near future (environmental, biomedical, food industries, domotic and automotive applications etc.).
Access to Western Esotericism
This is the first systematic treatment of esotericism to appear in English. Here is also a historical survey, beginning with the Alexandrean Period, of the various esoteric currents such as Christian Kabbalah, Theosophy, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, and Hermeticism. Common characteristics of these currents are the notion of universal interdependency and the experience of spiritual transformation. The author establishes a rigorous methodology; provides clarifying definitions of such key terms as gnosis, theosophy, occultism, and Hermeticism; and offers analysis of contemporary esotericism based on three distinct pathways. The second half of the book presents a series of studies on several important figures, works, and movements in Western esotericismstudies devoted to some of the most characteristic and illuminating aspects that this form of thought has taken, such as theosophical speculations on androgyny, rosicrucian literature, and Masonic symbolism. The book is completed by a rich and selective Bibliography conceived as a means of orientation and a tool for research.
Visions de l'au-delà et tables tournantes
Les phénomènes de voyance, somnambulisme ou plus particulièrement de spiritisme font l'objet de nombreuses études en Allemagne. L'analyse présente les aspects les plus caractéristiques des phénomènes touchant l'interrogation sur l'au-delà, vécus dans les pays allemand aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, s'inscrivant dans une mouvance ésotérique.
Purgatory and Piety in Brittany 1480-1720
The concept of Purgatory was a central tenet of late-medieval and early-modern Catholicism, and proved a key dividing line between Catholics and Protestants. However, as this book makes clear, ideas about purgatory were often ill-defined and fluid, and altered over time in response to particular needs or pressures. Drawing upon printed pamphlets, tracts, advice manuals, diocesan statutes and other literary material, the study traces the evolution of writing and teaching about Purgatory and the fate of the soul between 1480 and 1720. By examining the subject across this extended period it is argued that belief in Purgatory continued to be important, although its role in the scheme of salvatio...
Death by Publication
A tale of revenge involving two friends in the publishing world. It is bad enough that writer Nicolas Fabry steals Edward Destry's woman, it is worse that he discards her and she commits suicide, but when he writes a novel about it and the novel wins a prize, Destry decides to fix him. Destry's plan: forge a novel under Fabry's name and have him sued for plagiarism. Written in English by a Swiss, the novel won a prize for detective fiction in France.
