La Grande-Bretagne Et L'Europe Des Lumières
Cet ouvrage rassemble seize communications faites lors de deux colloques internationaux sur les rapports entre la Grande-Bretagne et le continent européen au XVIIIe siècle. Une moitié des communications est de nature littéraire, touchant quelques-uns des auteurs britanniques les plus marquants de l'époque, examinés dans leurs liens intellectuels avec l'Europe (qui les influence ou qu'ils influencent). L'autre moitié contient des études sur les mœurs observées par les voyageurs, sur les représentations et images réciproques. Viennent également au jour les rivalités entre les pays (dans le domaine de l'érudition orientaliste), ainsi que la situation des habitants du Nord et l'Écosse, en marge de l'Europe, mais souvent enjeu politique pour l'Europe. La gravure satirique, enfin, a largement sa place avec un article sur les caricatures de Hogarth

Nostalgic Cooks
Why is it that French chefs tend to develop a syndrome of professional nostalgia? Educated to work in the most prestigious restaurants, they soon discover another reality in common foodservices and are viewed as having made an egotistical professional choice. Regardless of the improvement in their working conditions, their identity is distorted. This book describes foodservices as a whole, including international and inter-industry comparisons in the sociological field of gastronomical professionals, in an attempt to analyze their identities in different stages and diversities.

Robust theory is backed up by practical advice. Numerous practical exercises, case studies, templates - including a Training Workshop template - learning partner handouts and a questionnaire for selecting prospective mentors are included. Advice is also included on sensitive areas such as the boundary between mentoring or coaching and therapy, and the desirability of supervision and codes of practice.
The Other Islanders
"Contrary to what public history and popular literature might have led us to believe, Nantucket is historically an island of rich cultural diversity. Here, author Frances Ruley Karttunen introduces us to the original Nantucketers -- the Wampanoags -- as well as to African slaves, Pacific Islanders, Irish refugees, Azoreans, and Cape Verdeans who over the years have found a home on Nantucket. Here, too, is a look at the island's connection to Jamaica, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia -- all sources of people who have contributed to the island's economy and added dimensions to Nantucket's culture" -- Back cover.
