A spate of abductions and subsequent deaths in nearby départements have Investigator, Jacques Forêt, perplexed. Returning from extended leave to the news of a local kidnapping, Jacques is on the case immediately. And this time it's personal. But the case isn't Jacques' only worry. He has become more and more concerned about Beth, but what can he do if she doesn't let him help her? The investigation into the murders takes him and his trusted assistant, Didier Duclos, to Marseille. Can Jacques find the kidnappers and release their captive before another body is added to the list of unexplained murders? It's a race against time. Marseille is the fourth instalment in the bestselling Jacques Forêt Mystery series. Read the complete Jaques Forêt Mystery series: Messandrierre (#1) Merle (#2) Montbel (#3) Marseille (#4)
Ein neuer Band der erfolgreichen Klassiker-Reihe «Guides Le Corbusier»: die wegweisenden kollektiven Wohnbauten des Meisterarchitekten.
Le Français soigne, avec une attention particulière, sa sinistrose. Il n'est pas de semaine, où ne retentisse la complainte du « Malalafrançais », inquiet du déclin national, et prophète de notre décadence. Que de temps perdu, au lieu de savourer les mérites du triangle magique, grâce auquel la France est, depuis toujours, une oasis dans un monde de fous : l'esprit, la modération, et le savoir bien vivre. On oublie trop, aujourd'hui, ces inventeurs géniaux, qui savaient transformer le guano ou la pomme de terre en or, ces missionnaires du goût, qui ont convaincu le monde entier de venir passer des vacances dans ce pays de cocagne, et d'en repartir les poches pleines de souvenirs, ces hommes d'État suffisamment avisés pour doser trois doigts d'inflation, et quatre mesures de paradis fiscal. Même nos intellectuels - ou nos sportifs - toujours placés dans la course au titre, nous assurent une médaille d'argent, véritable exploit pour une nation de 55 millions d'habitants. Telle est la salutaire et revigorante leçon, que Jacques Marseille nous invite à méditer, de manière aussi documentée qu'ironique.

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference "Colloque de Goometrie Symplectique et Physique Mathematique" which was held in Aix-en-Provence (France), June 11-15, 1990, in honor of Jean-Marie Souriau. The conference was one in the series of international meetings of the Seminaire Sud Rhodanien de Goometrie, an organization of geometers and mathematical physicists at the Universities of Avignon, Lyon, Mar seille, and Montpellier. The scientific interests of Souriau, one of the founders of geometric quantization, range from classical mechanics (symplectic geometry) and quantization problems to general relativity and astrophysics. The themes of this conference cover "only" the first t...
This volume reflects on the role played by textbooks in the complex relationship between war and education from a historical and multinational perspective, asking how textbook content and production can play a part in these processes. It has long been established that history textbooks play a key role in shaping the next generation’s understanding of both past events and the concept of ‘friend’ and ‘foe’. Considering both current and historical textbooks, often through a bi-national comparative approach, the editors and contributors investigate various important aspects of the relationships between textbooks and war, including the role wars play in the creation of national identities (whether the country is on the winning or losing side), the effacement of international wars to highlight a country’s exceptionalism, or the obscuring of intra-national conflict through the ways in which a civil war is portrayed. This pioneering book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of textbooks, educational media and the relationships between curricula and war.

As France’s oldest city, Marseilles has a significant cinematic culture, dating back to the 1890s when the Lumière brothers shot many films there. Due to its prolific film industry in the 1920s, Marseilles was referred to as “the French Los Angeles.” World Film Locations: Marseilles examines the representations of this port city in cinema, through essays and film scene reviews devoted to an exploration of its topography as depicted by Jean Epstein, Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean Renoir, Jean-Jacques Beineix, and many others.
