Paris
In an original and evocative journey through modern Paris from the mid-eighteenth century to World War II, Patrice Higonnet offers a delightful cultural portrait of a multifaceted, continually changing city. In examining the myths and countermyths of Paris that have been created and re-created over time, Higonnet reveals a magical urban alchemy in which each era absorbs the myths and perceptions of Paris past, adapts them to the cultural imperatives of its own time, and feeds them back into the city, creating a new environment. Paris was central to the modern world in ways internal and external, genuine and imagined, progressive and decadent. Higonnet explores Paris as the capital of revolut...
Medium-Sized Cities in the Age of Globalisation
Medium-Sized Cities in the Age of Globalisation provides a brand-new perspective on academic discussions of globalisation through exploring urban development outside of select global cities including Paris, Tokyo, and London, and instead focuses on medium-sized cities in the context of a globalising world. Combining the author’s expertise with extensive research, this book fills a gap in the scholarly debate on globalisation and urban development, with chapters of the book giving detailed insight on urban governance and economy, local identity, and urban representation. Through a range of visual sources including maps, tables and graphs, the book is applicable and accessible, and offers a ...

The Flaneur
______________ 'A stylish, deftly erudite and enormously diverting book' - Sunday Telegraph 'An artfully aimless pleasure cruise around Paris' - Guardian 'White's genius as a flâneur is revealed in his affinity for unexpected pleasures, and he includes many for our delectation' - New Yorker ______________ A unique and eclectic view of Paris through the eyes of a fierce and witty intellect. A flâneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the streets he walks - and is in covert search of adventure, aesthetic or erotic. Acclaimed writer Edmund White, who lived in Paris for sixteen years, wanders through the avenues and...
How the Rich are Destroying the Earth
A best seller in France, and already translated into Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Korean, Hervé Kempf'sHow the Rich Are Destroying the Earth now appears in its first English edition. Bringing to bear more than twenty years of experience as an environmental journalist, Kempf describes the invincibility that many of the world's wealthy feel in the face of global warming, and how their unchecked privilege is thwarting action on the single most vexing problem facing our world.In this important primer on the link between global ecology and the global economy, Kempf makes the following observations: First, that the planet's ecological situation is growing ever worse, despite the efforts of millio...
Manger, rire et bien vieillir
Mieux-vivre et bien-être. Cet opuscule est simple donc peu sérieux... Ah, vraiment ? Rédigé en termes usuels, il parait écrit par un profane. Ah, vraiment ? Court, il est jugé sans valeur. Ah, vraiment ? Dépouillé d’idéologie, de mysticisme ou de sensiblerie, il n’est fait que de pure logique. Lisez ce livret, attendez quelques mois et oubliez le rhumato, le dermato, le kiné, l’ostéopathe et bien d’autres compagnons de misère.

Le Comportement d'affirmation de soi
"Les êtres vivants, végétaux compris, sont des prédateurs, dans le sens large de ce terme, et c'est en tant que tels qu'ils affirment leur soi, c'est-à-dire leur mode d'existence. D'où cet aphorisme nietzschéen abrupt de franchise: L'instinct de propriété – prolongement de l'instinct de nutrition et de chasse. L'instinct de la connaissance lui-même est une forme supérieure de l'instinct de propriété. Ces processus d'appropriation ne se résument pas simplement à des actes de capture, mais se prolongent par l'assimilation, en d'autres mots par le développement du soi, de son importance, de sa place dans le monde, de sa vitalité, de son rang. Loin de concevoir, comme on le fa...
Sobre as causas do atraso científico em Portugal - Uma digressão histórica
O atraso científico que se verificou em Portugal desde o século XVII é um facto quase unanimemente reconhecido. Para o explicar, muitos pensadores e analistas, nacionais e estrangeiros, sugeriram as mais variadas causas reais ou imaginárias. Algumas estão ligadas a atributos pessoais, de caráter endógeno ou exógeno; outras a condicionalismos geopolíticos ou a fatores económico-financeiros. Duvidou-se da capacidade intelectual e do engenho dos portugueses; depreciou-se a sua aptidão para o trabalho, perseverança e reflexão; inventaram-se desconformidades entre atividades dependentes da emoção e da razão. Houve quem opinasse, sabiamente, que o atraso se devia ao desinteresse vo...
