What would our planet be like if women were in charge ? Would it be different ? What would be the fundamental changes to our lives ? These are the questions Muriel de Saint Sauveur poses to one hundred economically, politically and culturally prominent women, coming from thirty-three countries across five different continents. Amongst them are the Chinese writer and photographer Xiao Hui Wang ; Assana Sangare-Ouattara, deputy of the National Assembly in the Ivory Coast ; the Egyptian businesswoman Loula Zaklama and also French women including Françoise Gri, president of Manpower France and Marie-Jo Zimmermann, president of the French National Assembly's delegation on women's rights and gender equality. More involved, more ambitious and less egocentric, their priorities are different to those of men. Economy and strategy are not at the top of their lists, instead they view education as an essential objective towards social emancipation and living together in harmony. Their optimistic perception of the world envisions an organisation different to that of our society today.
Les rares femmes au pouvoir, dans l'entreprise ou en politique, ont longtemps été considérées avec méfiance. Suspectes "d'être pire que les hommes", d'avoir réussi grâce à une promotion canapé, d'avoir de l'ambition, un gros mot pour le sexe faible
A quoi ressemblerait la société si les femmes se voyaient confier la gouvernance du monde ? Comment le réformeraient-elles ? Est-ce que leurs priorités seraient différentes ? Qu'est-ce qui changerait concrètement dans nos vies ?Telles sont les questions posées par Muriel de Saint Sauveur à cent femmes, la plupart chefs d'entreprise, responsables politiques ou culturelles, vivant dans 32 pays différents.Parmi elles, quinze Françaises dont la banquière Gilberte Beaux, l'économiste Sylvie Brunel, Clara Gaymard, présidente de General Electric France, Françoise Gri, présidente de Manpower France, Marie-Jo Zimmermann députée de la Moselle, présidente de la délégation de l'Assem...

Bousculer les images, les croyances, les hypocrisies véhiculées par le langage, tel est l'objectif de ce dictionnaire iconoclaste. Il dévoile avec vigueur et humour les perversions sexuées du langage, le sens caché des mots ordinaires et leur influence sur les rapports entre hommes et femmes. Loin d'entretenir la guerre des sexes, Le Dictionnaire iconoclaste du Féminin veut au contraire la désamorcer. [4e p. de couv.]
Protists are by far the most diverse and abundant eukaryotes in soils. Nevertheless, very little is known about individual representatives, the diversity and community composition and ecological functioning of these important organisms. For instance, soil protists are commonly lumped into a single functional unit, i.e. bacterivores. This work tackles missing knowledge gaps on soil protists and common misconceptions using multi-methodological approaches including cultivation, microcosm experiments and environmental sequencing. In a first part, several new species and genera of amoeboid protists are described showing their immense unknown diversity. In the second part, the enormous complexity of soil protists communities is highlighted using cultivation- and sequence-based approaches. In the third part, the present of diverse mycophagous and nematophagous protists are shown in functional studies on cultivated taxa and their environmental importance supported by sequence-based approaches. This work is just a start for a promising future of soil Protistology that is likely to find other important roles of these diverse organisms.

Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are...
