Oltre Auschwitz
Bełżec, Sobibór e Treblinka, insieme a Chełmno sul Ner, furono le località prescelte per portare a termine in Europa l’eliminazione degli ebrei dell’Est. Luoghi progettati e costruiti per funzionare solo come strutture omicide, molto diversi dai Lager, perché non prevedevano nessuna possibilità di sopravvivenza. In questi campi, in cui si è compiuta la strage di oltre un milione e mezzo di ebrei, è oggi la quasi totale assenza di tracce di quanto accaduto, voluta e messa in atto dagli assassini, a parlare per i morti e a esigere giustizia. Se Chełmno, dove per la prima volta si sperimentò il disegno di un’eliminazione di massa rapida e funzionale per mezzo del gas, può esse...
Treblinka, 1942-1943
""Auschwitz ce n'était rien, Auschwitz c'était un camp de vacances." Ainsi s'exprime Hershl Sperling, l'un des très rares survivants du plus effroyable centre de mise à mort de l'Aktion Reinhard. Provocation ? Hérésie ? Non, car Sperling revient de Treblinka. Si le nom du site est connu, son histoire, comme celle de Belzec et de Sobibor, l'est beaucoup moins - les nazis ayant pris grand soin d'effacer les traces de leur entreprise barbare, de liquider les derniers témoins et de raser les vestiges qu'ils abandonnaient. D'où le défi que pose cette "impossibilité de rendre compte". À la fin de l'année 1943 en effet, le site de Treblinka a déjà repris l'aspect d'une exploitation ag...
Treblinka 1942-1943
« Auschwitz ce n’était rien [après Treblinka], Auschwitz c’était un camp de vacances. » Ainsi s’exprimait Hershl Sperling, l’un des très rares survivants du plus effroyable centre de mise à mort de l’Aktion Reinhard. Son propos peut sembler sacrilège au lecteur peu informé de la réalité de Treblinka. En effet si le nom de ce site est connu, son histoire, comme celle de Belzec et de Sobibor, l’est beaucoup moins, les nazis ayant pris grand soin d’effacer les traces de leur entreprise barbare, de liquider les derniers témoins et de raser les vestiges qu’ils abandonnaient. D’où le défi que pose cette « impossibilité de rendre compte ». Ainsi, dès 1943, le sit...
Dendrites
Dendrites are complex neuronal structures that receive and integrate synaptic input from other nerve cells. They therefore play a critical role in brain function. Although dendrites were discovered over a century ago, due to the development of powerful new techniques there has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in the properties and function of these beautiful structures. This is the third edition of the first book devoted exclusively to dendrites. It contains a comprehensive survey of the current state of dendritic research across a wide range of topics, from dendritic morphology, evolution, development, and plasticity through to the electrical, biochemical and computational properties of dendrites, and finally to the key role of dendrites in brain disease. The third edition has been thoroughly revised, with the addition of a number of new chapters and comprehensive updates or rewrites of existing chapters by leading experts. "Dendrites" will be of interest to researchers and students in neuroscience and related fields, as well as to anyone interested in how the brain works.
The Spike
The story of a neural impulse and what it reveals about how our brains work We see the last cookie in the box and think, can I take that? We reach a hand out. In the 2.1 seconds that this impulse travels through our brain, billions of neurons communicate with one another, sending blips of voltage through our sensory and motor regions. Neuroscientists call these blips “spikes.” Spikes enable us to do everything: talk, eat, run, see, plan, and decide. In The Spike, Mark Humphries takes readers on the epic journey of a spike through a single, brief reaction. In vivid language, Humphries tells the story of what happens in our brain, what we know about spikes, and what we still have left to u...
Rhythms of the Brain
Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in neuroscience. This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. It takes a fresh look at the coevolution of structure and function in the mammalian brain, illustrating how self-emerged oscillatory timing is the brain's fundamental organizer of neuronal information. The small-world-like connectivity of the cerebral cortex allows for global computation on multiple spatial and temporal scales. The perpetual interactions among the ...
Persécutions et entraides dans la France occupée
Cette question était encore un " point aveugle " dans l'historiographie de la Shoah. Certains ont même parlé d'une " énigme française ". Au terme d'une enquête de plusieurs années, riche de témoignages et d'archives, écrite d'une plume sensible et sereine, Jacques Semelin apporte une contribution décisive. Il brosse un tableau radicalement autre de la France occupée. Une société plurielle et changeante, où la délation coexiste avec l'entraide, où l'antisémitisme n'empêche pas la solidarité des petits gestes. Sans jamais minimiser l'horreur du crime, ce livre monumental ouvre une nouvelle période dans notre lecture des années d'Occupation. Il fera date. Directeur de recherche au CNRS (CERI) et professeur à Sciences Po, Jacques Semelin est spécialiste de la résistance civile et des crimes de masse. Son livre Sans armes face à Hitler (1989), désormais considéré comme un classique, vient d'être réédité. Il a aussi publié Purifier et détruire. Usages politiques des massacres et génocides (2005), ouvrage traduit aux États-Unis par la Columbia University Press.
Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance: A-J
From the music of Louis Armstrong to the portraits by Beauford Delaney, the writings of Langston Hughes to the debut of the musical Show Boat, the Harlem Renaissance is one of the most significant developments in African-American history in the twentieth century. The Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance, in two-volumes and over 635 entries, is the first comprehensive compilation of information on all aspects of this creative, dynamic period.

The Pennsylvania German Collection
This complete handbook of the Philadelphia Museum of art's permanent collection of Pennsylvania German objects is the first resource of its kind, revealing the full range, depth and quality of a folk art collection 90 years in the making. Photographs of 1,115 Pensylvania German ceramics and glass, furniture and household objects, books, tools and implements, textiles and basketry, are accompanied by individual descriptions when known, artist, date and place of manufacture. Objects are arranged according to medium: wood, metal, ceramics, glass, horn, eggshell, basketry, textiles and paper. A biographical index of makers and artist and English translations of inscriptions are included. This comprehensive reference tool is invaluable for art historians, genealogists, and collectors.
