« Fort d’une vaste connaissance universitaire et d’une expérience acquise sur le terrain dont peu d’experts de Justice “ incendie ” peuvent se prévaloir, Jean-Luc Cartault complète cette maxime d’Aristote : “ L’ignorant affirme, le savant doute, le sage réfléchit, Jean-Luc Cartault s’interroge. ” N’hésitant pas à revisiter certaines définitions usuelles en s’appuyant sur une démarche intellectuelle et méthodologique éprouvée notamment dans le domaine de la recherche des causes d’incendies, l'auteur met en évidence l’impérieuse nécessité du doute qui ne peut être levé que de manière contrôlable et vérifiable. Ne s'interdisant aucune forme d’...
In a small town like Chesterville, homicides are as rare as government grants. So it's not surprising that the violent death of the richest man in town, J A Bussières, shakes up the entire population: who could hate the man enough to murder him, one rainy night, in the local cemetery? Roméo Dubuc, the Chief of Police, heads up the investigation. Several suspects have motives. Is it just a coincidence that J A's son, who hated his father, escaped from the psychiatric hospital the very day his father died? Was Marguerita Bussières tired of having a husband who cheated on her? Did Talbot, the grocer, a man with a violent temper, finally act on his threats against the man who was pursuing his young daughter? He had already told people he'd wring Bussières's neck if he kept it up. And then there's Jerrry Ménard: did the small-time bar owner stand to make a handsome profit from his financeer's death? In this detective novel, Dubuc's nose is to the grindstone as he tries to sift through the clues.
This book offers a major new account of modern capitalism and of the ways in which value and wealth are created today. Boltanski and Esquerre argue that capitalism in the West has recently undergone a fundamental transformation characterized by de-industrialization, on the one hand, and, on the other, by the increased exploitation of certain resources that, while not entirely new, have taken on unprecedented importance. It is this new form of exploitation that has given rise to what they call the ‘enrichment economy’. The enrichment economy is based less on the production of new objects and more on the enrichment of things and places that already exist. It has grown out of a combination ...
« Enfin, nous y sommes. Après une marche épuisante, nous arrivons en bas du Mont-Saint-Michel. Échevelés et couverts de vase [...], ivres de cette joie que donnent l’accomplissement et le dépassement de soi-même » Partir en pèlerinage en ce début de XXIe siècle, quelle idée ! Le mot fleure bon l’époque médiévale ou bien encore une tradition religieuse un peu désuète qui se pratiquait de façon discrète et pieuse, à l’ombre des paroisses. Pourtant les chemins de pèlerinages sont de plus en plus fréquentés, en France et dans le monde, comme en témoigne l’affluence vers Saint-Jacques-de -Compostelle. Pour Valérie Germain, l’auteure de cet essai, psychologue cli...
Mallat's book is the undisputed reference in this field - it is the only one that covers the essential material in such breadth and depth. - Laurent Demanet, Stanford UniversityThe new edition of this classic book gives all the major concepts, techniques and applications of sparse representation, reflecting the key role the subject plays in today's signal processing. The book clearly presents the standard representations with Fourier, wavelet and time-frequency transforms, and the construction of orthogonal bases with fast algorithms. The central concept of sparsity is explained and applied to signal compression, noise reduction, and inverse problems, while coverage is given to sparse repres...
