This book is the result of research carried out by the partners in the Adults Learning and Participating in Education (ALPINE) Project, a project that is principally concerned with increasing the amount of adult education provided by European universities. It begins by outlining the current debate about widening participation in institutions of higher education in general and identifying issues within the context of the policy that is being developed for this sector in Europe. It continues with a description of the position in each of the selected countries in Central and Western Europe. Experienced adult education practitioners from twenty European countries have each determined the nature and extent of the current provision of adult higher education in their own country. Two final chapters of analysis and conclusions complete this survey which is the most extensive of its type that has yet been carried out in Europe.

In this book, authors showcase the worldwide spread of Workers’ Faculties as an example of both cooperation between socialist countries in education, and globalization processes in the field of education. Based on extensive research carried out in Cuban, German, Mozambican, and Vietnamese archives as well as expert interviews, it combines detailed case studies of educational transfers and policy implementation with a discussion of theoretical approaches to the study of globalization in and of education. Research on Workers’ Faculties provides an especially interesting example for the study of educational transfer between socialist countries as well as for the interplay of such transfers ...
This book is the first of 2 special volumes dedicated to the memory of Gérard Maugin. Including 40 papers that reflect his vast field of scientific activity, the contributions discuss non-standard methods (generalized model) to demonstrate the wide range of subjects that were covered by this exceptional scientific leader. The topics range from micromechanical basics to engineering applications, focusing on new models and applications of well-known models to new problems. They include micro–macro aspects, computational endeavors, options for identifying constitutive equations, and old problems with incorrect or non-satisfying solutions based on the classical continua assumptions.
Bruno Lescot est en cavale. Sa jeunesse, il l'a passée à collectionner les délits, jusqu'à son dernier exploit, ce faux braquage qui a coûté la vie à un policier. Aujourd'hui, coupable tout désigné aux yeux des juges, il préfère disparaître. C'est donc sans lui que se déroule son procès, et que s'enchaînent les expertises et les témoignages de ceux qui l'ont côtoyé. Le portrait qui se dessine alors est celui d'un homme de sac et de corde, aux fidélités multiples, prêt à toutes les aventures, pourvu qu'elles défient l'ordre et ses gardiens dont il aime à se moquer. Car Lescot est un ironiste d'un genre particulier, plaçant si haut la liberté qu'il est prêt à la perdre pour un mot d'esprit retors. Encore heureux ? Une bombe littéraire. Au lecteur d'allumer la mèche.
