Sept étudiants, une station spatiale, et des expériences scientifiques : bienvenue dans notre mission sur Mars ! Nous sommes l’équipage 293 de l’ISAE-SUPAERO, et tout a commencé bien avant notre départ pour la planète rouge, alors que nous nous préparions pour ce projet scientifique unique. L’objectif ? Simuler la vie sur Mars pendant quatre semaines, complètement isolés dans une réplique de base martienne, la Mars Desert Research Station, située au cœur du désert de l’Utah aux États-Unis. Cette mission analogue martienne, nous l’avons vécue du 18 février au 16 mars 2024. Notre programme : des expériences menées en collaboration avec des chercheurs du monde entier...
This volume describes a grass-roots approach to empowering people for democratic social change. It explains participatory research using exemplary case studies on community organizing, feminist theory, and ecological movements from a wide range of locations in North America. The first collection of essays on participatory research in Canada and the United States, the book is an eloquent demonstration that the same approach to social change is needed in industrialized countries as it is in underdeveloped countries. Challenging the relevance and validity of academic social science research, participatory research is an important tool for social activists, community workers, and adult educators working with oppressed peoples.

It also has important implications for public health campaigns and for the development of policies to nudge behaviour in desirable ways. The book provides readers with frameworks to: Determine whethe...

In this important new book, Ray Pawson examines the recent spread of evidence-based policy making across the Western world. Few major public initiatives are mounted these days in the absence of a sustained attempt to evaluate them. Programmes are tried, tried and tried again and researched, researched and researched again. And yet it is often difficult to know which interventions, and which inquiries, will withstand the test of time. The evident solution, going by the name of evidence-based policy, is to take the longer view. Rather than relying on one-off studies, it is wiser to look to the ′weight of evidence′. Accordingly, it is now widely agreed the most useful data to support policy...
Three sophisticated women with demanding careers also live on the fast-track of sex and romance, hungering for a man to love. At the end of the day they get together in places full of single women whose daytime successes are of no comfort when they go home to empty houses. who rescue themselves".--Booklist.
In 1973, William T. Powers published the original version of Behavior: The Control of Perception. In the second edition, Powers made some minor edits and clarifications and added a chapter on "Emotion". This third edition, published by the Powers Family, contains all of the changes and additions included in the second edition, with a few minor typos corrected. This is the book that forms the basis for the research conducted by the International Association for Perceptual Control Theory (https: //www.iapct.org/). From the author: "This book represents, I hope, a step on the path back to a concept of man as autonomous, and away from the concept of man as automaton. Yet in allowing my humanisti...
