This Atlas gives the complete expert opinion on the diagnostic features of eyelid and conjunctival tumors (benign and malignant): a state-of-the-art guide with numerous images, useful for both dermatologists and ophthalmologists. This invaluable resource, illustrating clinical, histological and re fectance confocal microscopy features, first addresses the normal conditions of the ocular surface, then reviews lesions due to epidermal, melanocytic and adnexal tumors. A final part is devoted to conjunctiva conditions, from normal to malignant conjunctival tumors. The high number of illustrations and their description of many ocular surface lesions with in vivo confocal microscopy make this atlas an essential guide for the practitioners of both specialities.

Describes developments in French popular culture between 1914 and 1945, and argues that the harsh times led to the emergence of images glorifying the common Frenchman in songs, film, and popular literature
Random trees and tree-valued stochastic processes are of particular importance in many fields. Using the framework of abstract "tree-like" metric spaces and ideas from metric geometry, Evans and his collaborators have recently pioneered an approach to studying the asymptotic behavior of such objects when the number of vertices goes to infinity. This publication surveys the relevant mathematical background and present some selected applications of the theory.
This history of coiffure in modern France illuminates a host of important twentieth-century issues: the course of fashion, the travails of small business in a modern economy, the complexities of labour reform, the failure of the Popular Front, the temptations of Pétainism, all accompanied by a parade of waves, chignons, and curls.
From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.
Une quarantaine de contributions inédites composent cet ouvrage articulé autour de trois thématiques : l'histoire intérieure et extérieure des États-Unis, l'histoire des relations internationales, l'histoire contemporaine des Juifs. Sur l'Amérique du Nord (Canada et États-Unis), ce volume offre un panorama historique, de la colonisation au 11 septembre 2001. Il permet de comprendre la complexité des États-Unis actuels, à la fois dans leur relation au monde et dans les bouleversements qui touchent à leur identité au début du XXIe siècle, comme vient d'en témoigner l'élection de leur 44e président, Barack Obama. En ce qui concerne les relations internationales, outre une réf...
Cette alternative résume bien l'ambivalence des relations franco-soviétiques de 1958 à 1964. Dans le cadre de l'affrontement Est-Ouest, leur nature réside dans la combinaison inédite entre une logique de guerre et une logique de paix. Théâtre d'opérations mais aussi champ d'expérimentations de la détente, les relations entre Paris et Moscou offrent, avec le recul, un terrain d'observation privilégié des différentes formes que la guerre froide a pu revêtir. C'est pourquoi cet ouvrage propose une approche globale alimentée par l'ambition d'une histoire totale. Trois niveaux d'analyse distincts sont reliés chronologiquement. Au traditionnel niveau politico-diplomatique d'échang...
Jacobus C. Kapteyn (1851-1922) was a Dutch astronomer who contributed heavily to major catalogs of star positions, such as the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung and the Harvard-Groningen Durchmusterung, and arranged extensive international collaboration through his Plan of Selected Areas. He contributed to the establishment of statistical astronomy and structure and dynamics of the Sidereal System. All aspects of Kapteyn’s life are discussed, from his birth in Barneveld, the Netherlands, to his death in Amsterdam, and his entire resume of scientific achievements in between. Kapteyn had some conflicts with others in his field, especially after the world became divided on how to handle scientific contributions from Germany post-World War I. Both Kapteyn's struggles and achievements are written against the backdrop of both the historical context of the world at that time as well as the scientific one.
