Sonochemistry and Sonoluminescence
Sonochemistry is studied primarily by chemists and sonoluminescence mainly by physicists, but a single physical phenomenon - acoustic cavitation - unites the two areas. The physics of cavitation bubble collapse, is relatively well understood by acoustical physicists but remains practically unknown to the chemists. By contrast, the chemistry that gives rise to electromagnetic emissions and the acceleration of chemical reactions is familiar to chemists, but practically unknown to acoustical physicists. It is just this knowledge gap that the present volume addresses. The first section of the book addresses the fundamentals of cavitation, leading to a more extensive discussion of the fundamentals of cavitation bubble dynamics in section two. A section on single bubble sonoluminescence follows. The two following sections address the new scientific discipline of sonochemistry, and the volume concludes with a section giving detailed descriptions of the applications of sonochemistry. The mixture of tutorial lectures and detailed research articles means that the book can serve as an introduction as well as a comprehensive and detailed review of these two interesting and topical subjects.
Les traces du vivant
Cet ouvrage met en scène à la fois l'évolution chimique et l'évolution biologique. Les auteurs établissent un état des connaissances actuelles dans leur domaine, tableau fascinant pour chimistes et biologistes, mais aussi pour quiconque se pose la question ultime : comment l'univers a produit une entité capable de s'interroger sur ce dont elle est issue et comment elle en est issue.
L'identité en question
A l'heure où tant de discours prônent des sociétés dites « inclusives », dans nos vies quotidiennes, la vulnérabilité est encore trop souvent perçue comme le versant négatif de l’autonomie, un moment de l’existence qu’il faut impérativement dépasser pour pouvoir construire l’identité d’un sujet libre et autonome. Et si, à l’inverse, la construction d’une identité forte ne pouvait advenir que grâce à l’articulation entre vulnérabilité, comme condition normale de l’existence, et autonomie ? Fruit d’un travail collectif, cet ouvrage souhaite prouver, à l’aide de la pensée de philosophes comme Paul Ricoeur, Emmanuel Levinas, Michel Henry, Martha Nussbau...

Claude Lévi-Strauss, un parcours dans le siècle
Ce livre réunit les contributions au colloque organisé au Collège de France en novembre 2008 à l’occasion du centenaire de Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908-2009). Au cours de cette longue vie, ponctuée par une trentaine de livres et plus de quatre cents articles, Claude Lévi-Strauss a refondé l’anthropologie en France. Nous commençons à peine aujourd’hui à mettre en valeur ses réflexions sur la nature de la vie sociale, sur le destin des peuples, sur le procès de connaissance ou sur l’émotion esthétique, dont quelques philosophes se sont emparés afin d’en examiner les conséquences dans l’ordre d’un remaniement des concepts dont nous nous servons pour comprendre le mon...
What Makes Biology Unique?
This book, a collection of essays written by the most eminent evolutionary biologist of the twentieth century, explores biology as an autonomous science, offers insights on the history of evolutionary thought, critiques the contributions of philosophy to the science of biology, and comments on several of the major ongoing issues in evolutionary theory. Notably, Mayr explains that Darwin's theory of evolution is actually five separate theories, each with its own history, trajectory and impact. Natural selection is a separate idea from common descent, and from geographic speciation, and so on. A number of the perennial Darwinian controversies may well have been caused by the confounding of the five separate theories into a single composite. Those interested in evolutionary theory, or the philosophy and history of science will find useful ideas in this book, which should appeal to virtually anyone with a broad curiosity about biology.
Nanotechnology (General) - 214th ECS Meeting/PRiME 2008
The papers included in this issue of ECS Transactions were originally presented in the symposium ¿Nanotechnology General Session¿, held during the PRiME 2008 joint international meeting of The Electrochemical Society and The Electrochemical Society of Japan, with the technical cosponsorship of the Japan Society of Applied Physics, the Korean Electrochemical Society, the Electrochemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, and the Chinese Society of Electrochemistry. This meeting was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, from October 12 to 17, 2008.
