The Book of Chameleons
"Ingenious, consistently taut and witty" TLS Strange, elliptical, charming" Guardian Set in contemporary Angola, this novel is populated with characters whose victories never quite settle. Like any one of us, they can forget things that have happened to them, and remember things that never did. Theirs is a world where the truth seems to shift from moment to moment, where history itself is up for grabs. Agualusa's slippery narrator takes us on a vivid and enthralling journey across the shifting landscape of memory and history, and - from his unique perspective - reveals a breathtaking love story too.

Beyond War
The long-standing debate over the origins of violence has resurfaced over the last two decades. There has been a proliferation of studies on violence, from both cross-cultural and ethnographic and prehistoric perspectives, based on a reading of archaeological and bioarchaeological records in a variety of territories and chronologies. The vast body of osteoarchaeological and architectural evidence reflects the presence of interpersonal violence among the first farmer groups throughout Europe, and, even earlier, between hunter-gatherer societies of the Mesolithic. The studies in Beyond War present the necessity of rethinking the concept of “violence” in archaeology. This overcomes the old ...
Conimbriga Diripitur

Green Design, Materials and Manufacturing Processes
The rise of manufacturing intelligence is fuelling innovation in processes and products concerning a low environmental impact over the product’s lifecycle. Sustainable intelligent manufacturing is regarded as a manufacturing paradigm for the 21st century, in the move towards the next generation of manufacturing and processing technologies. The manufacturing industry has reached a turning point in its evolution and new business opportunities are emerging. With sustainable development arises the immense challenge of combining innovative ideas regarding design, materials and products with non-polluting processes and technologies, conserving energy and other natural resources. On the other han...
Processionary Moths and Climate Change : An Update
Because of its peculiar biology, its negative impacts on forestry, and its urticating larvae affecting human and animal health, pine processionary moth has largely been studied in many European countries during the last century. However, knowledge remained scattered and no synthesis has ever been published. Since the IPCC retained the moth as one of the two insect indicators of climate change because of its expansion with warming up, filling this gap became increasingly important. Led by INRA, this book associates 101 authors from 22 countries of Europe, Minor Asia and North Africa, combining all the concerned research fields (entomology, ecology, genetics, mathematical modelling, medical and veterinary science, pest management) in a multidisciplinary approach to understand and model the processes underlying past, present and future moth expansion and to propose adapted management methods. Besides, the major biological patterns of the related processionary species are also detailed.

La guerre des anges
Les morros et les favelas de Rio sont en flammes, la police, sous couvert de répression du trafic de drogue, a mitraillé une procession religieuse et tué des enfants. Le jour approche où cette guerre va descendre sur la ville et les beaux quartiers du bord de mer. Francisco, un ancien colonel de la sécurité en Angola, installé au Brésil pour fuir les pièges d’un amour féroce et les tourments de sa mémoire, prépare ce jour en vendant des armes. Un journaliste angolais plonge dans cet incendie à la recherche de réponses aux questions que peu de gens veulent bien se poser. Racisme ou mépris social ? Émeutes ou révolte d’esclaves ? José Eduardo Agualusa crée dans une prose limpide des personnages inoubliables, Jararaca, le jeune chef de bande charismatique, Catiavala, le colonel à la voix de Nat King Cole, Euclides, le journaliste nain, Jacaré le rappeur fou de drogue, Anastacia la spécialiste de l’ayahuasca et des vagins dentés, Florzinha la belle vénéneuse, Monte le tortionnaire rédacteur de discours présidentiels... Un grand roman littéraire dans lequel la fiction est rattrapée par l'actualité.
