Les moyens du bord
Dans les villages du Piémont pyrénéen, Denis Boulbès a observé des choses, des choses jamais remarquées peut-être, réalisées avec les moyens du bord, à la va-comme-je-te-pousse, sans souci du convenable et encore moins du convenu, et même avec le malin plaisir de prendre les normes à rebrousse-poil... Des choses qui se contentent d'un à peu près rapide, paresseux, économique, sans ambition ni illusion, mais inventif et efficace. Il nous parle avec humour et tendresse de ces œuvres de fortune, en laissant entendre la petite musique émouvante des manières premières dont les ratages et la modestie atteignent à leur façon à la grandeur de l'art et qui ont la vertu de préserver un doux anarchisme vivant dans l'épaisseur et la pesanteur de notre environnement. Entre insolite et fantaisie, entre anthropologie et ethnographie, et grâce aux dessins du talentueux Rémi Magnouat, il nous entraîne avec bonheur sur les traces d'un certain génie quotidien qui nous parle, profondément, du meilleur de nous-mêmes.

Bhatia's attention to lo...

Drug Diplomacy in the Twentieth Century
Drug Diplomacy is the first comprehensive historical account of the evolution of the global drugs control regime. The book analyzes how the rules and regulations that encompass the drug question came to be framed. By examining the international historical aspects of the issue, the author addresses the many questions surrounding this global problem. Including coverage of substances from heroin and cocaine to morphine, stimulants, hallucinogens and alcohol, Drug Diplomacy addresses: * the historical development of drug laws, drug-control institutions, and attitudes about drugs * international control negotiations and the relationship between the drug question and issues such as trade policy, national security concerns, the Cold War and medical considerations * the reasons why the goal to eliminate drug abuse has been so hard to accomplish.
