Paul Morand
Darling of the Jazz Age, the globe-trotting diplomat and acclaimed writer Paul Morand and his literary and political careers underwent a radical shift following his collaboration with the Vichy government during the Occupation of France. Abandoning the terse, glittering portraits of the contemporary era that had garnered him early fame, he turned to the past and to historical fiction, biography and autobiography.Paul Morand: The Politics and Practice of Writing in Post-War France, the first full-length study of Morand in English and the first ever of his post-war works, traces Morand’s politically charged explorations of history as he obsessively rewrites the Occupation in historical guise...
Evolutionary Ecology of Parasites
Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and other animals in fundamental ways, but in recent years they have become a powerful model system for the study of ecology and evolution, with practical applications in disease prevention. Here, in a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his influential earlier work, Robert Poulin provides an evolutionary ecologist's view of the biology of parasites. He sets forth a comprehensive synthesis of parasite evolutionary ecology, integrating information across scales from the features of individual parasites to the dynamic...
Parasite Biodiversity
This comprehensive, groundbreaking book on the biodiversity of parasites offers a clear and accessible explanation of how parasite biodiversity provides insight into the history and biogeography of other organisms, the structure of ecosystems, and the processes that lead to the diversification of life.
Morand-Express
Dans cet essai paru chez Grasset en 1980, le journaliste et écrivain Jean-François Fogel (également auteur du Testament de Pablo Escobar, Grasset, 1994) revient sur la vie et l’œuvre de Paul Morand, un des plus célèbres écrivains français du XXe siècle, auteur de plus de quatre-vingts livres, romans, nouvelles, essais et chroniques pour beaucoup publiés chez Grasset et réédités dans Les Cahiers rouges. L’ouvrage est à la fois une étude littéraire et une promenade au pas de course dans la vie d’un auteur qui ne tenait pas en place. Voici les œuvres, voici l’homme. Interviews d’anciennes maîtresses, voyages dans les villes où Paul Morand avait résidé, extraits de...
Marine Parasitology
This comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date work provides the definitive overview of marine parasites worldwide. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers in parasitology and marine biology and will also be of interest to ecologists, aquaculturists and invertebrate biologists. Initial chapters review the diversity and basic biology of the different groups of marine parasites, discussing their morphology, life cycles, infection mechanisms and effects on hosts. The ecology and importance of marine parasites are discussed in the second part of the book, where contributions investigate behavioural and ecological aspects of parasitism and discuss the evolution and zoogeography of marine parasites. In addition, the economic, environmental and medical significance of these organisms is outlined, particularly their importance in aquaculture and their effects on marine mammals and birds. Written by an international team of contributors, the emphasis is on a thorough grounding in marine parasitology combined with reviews of novel concepts and cutting-edge research.
Paul Morand
C'est au chevet d'un Marcel Proust mourant que s'affirme la vocation littéraire de Paul Morand ; et c'est dans le vacarme d'une modernité incarnée par Jean Cocteau qu'elle va s'épanouir. Ce rejeton de la bourgeoisie parisienne, éclairée, artiste, aura connu les astres de la bohème comme de l'élite républicaine ; deux mondes étanches qui vont former sa personnalité et dessiner sa double carrière de diplomate et d'écrivain. D'emblée, dans ses nouvelles et ses romans, Morand épouse les prouesses de son siècle en rompant avec un monde englouti à jamais par la Guerre. Il roule vite, il vole loin. La Terre a rétréci et il le fait savoir. L'écrivain au style étincelant, classiq...
The MAN IN A HURRY
A feverish classic from one of the modern masters of French prose. No one can keep up with Pierre Niox, the speediest antiques dealer in Paris, although not necessarily the most competent. As he dashes about at a dizzying pace, his impatience becomes too much to bear for those around him; his manservant, his only friend and even his cat abandon him. He begins to find that while he is racing through life, it is passing him by. However, when he falls in love with the languid, unpunctual Hedwige, the man in a hurry has to learn how to slow down... This feverish classic by one of the modern masters of French prose is a witty and touching parable for our busy times.
Biocontrol Agents
This book describes entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management. Addressing research on these two nematodes from tropical, subtropical and temperate countries, it covers the new techniques and major developments regarding mass production, formulation, application, commercialization and safety measures. Plans for future strategies to make these beneficial nematodes cost-effective and expand their use by including them in integrated pest management programmes in different agro-ecosystems are also discussed. Biocontrol Agents: Entomopathogenic and Slug Parasitic Nematodes provides a comprehensive review of the topic and is an essential resource for researchers, industry practitioners and advanced students in the fields of biological control and integrated pest management.
