Urban Mix
Urban Mix explores the devices and attitudes observable in urban crossroads of 8 major world cities. The diversity and complexity of crossings allow variable freedom of movement and define urban life, according to their cultural particularities. Mobility questions our ways of inhabiting the city. They are attached to multiple social approaches, constrained by the geography of the city and linked to the available energies. The frequentation of the city is mainly observed as a saturation or an animation and in an abstract and numerical way. But what is the nature of the movements in the cities, the daily life of more than half of the inhabitants of the planet? What are the speeds, rhythms, int...
Hand and Wrist Rehabilitation
This work demonstrates that hand and wrist rehabilitation calls for precise anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological expertise, as well as mastery of manual techniques and targeted physiotherapy. Particular attention is given to the complementarity between theoretical knowledge and practical aspects; accordingly, refreshers on the underlying theory; descriptions of the rehabilitation protocols and the specific manual and instrumental techniques; and the type of orthesis used depending on the delay of healing are provided for each pathology. This publication will appeal to a broad readership, from physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to surgeons and practitioners specialized in physical rehabilitation, to students in the fields of physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

Celtic Art in Europe
The ancient Celtic world evokes debate, discussion, romanticism and mythicism. On the one hand it represents a specialist area of archaeological interest, on the other, it has a wide general appeal. The Celtic world is accessible through archaeology, history, linguistics and art history. Of these disciplines, art history offers the most direct message to a wider audience. This volume of 37 papers brings together a truly international group of pre-eminent specialists in the field of Celtic art and Celtic studies. It is a benchmark volume the like of which has not been seen since the publication of Paul Jacobsthal’s Early Celtic Art in 1944. The papers chart the history of attempts to unders...
World Energy Outlook 2007
China and India, the world's fastest growing energy markets, are the special focus of the 2007 edition in World Energy Outlook (WEO) series. How fast will demand in these dynamic economies rise? How will it be met? And what impact will their energy choices have on the rest of the world? Incorporating a global update of the WEO mid- and long-term energy projections reflecting the latest data, WEO 2007 also features 3 key energy scenarios to 2030:- the Reference Scenario shows the trends in surging energy consumption and CO2 emissions under existing government policies;- the Alternative Policy Scenario shows how policies driven by concerns for energy security, energy efficiency and the environment, under discussion but not yet adopted, could curb growth in energy demand; - the High Growth Scenario analyses what would happen to energy use if current high levels of economic growth in China and India persist through the projection period.
Blois, un château en l'an mil

Charbon
Aux yeux de la plupart des Européens, le charbon minéral n'est plus une source d'énergie qui compte. Erreur ! Sa consommation croît si vite et ses réserves sont si abondantes qu'il pourrait passer un jour devant le pétrole. Le climat planétaire n'y gagnera rien, sauf si les technologies " charbon propre " font un bond. Quels sont les ressorts de cette croissance charbonnière ? Les embûches rencontrées par le nucléaire et la hausse des prix du gaz naturel la favorisent, mais elles ne doivent pas faire oublier la métamorphose de l'industrie du charbon dans le monde. De la Chine, leader mondial incontesté, aux États-Unis, en passant par l'Inde, la Russie et les grands pays exportateurs (Australie, Indonésie, Afrique du Sud, Colombie), une nouvelle carte se dessine. Dans tous ces pays, les firmes charbonnières se concentrent, s'internationalisent, ouvrent de nouvelles mines à ciel ouvert et tracent de nouveaux itinéraires commerciaux. La compréhension de cette métamorphose devient l'une des clés de la prospective énergétique et de la géopolitique du XXIe siècle.
La nouvelle donne du charbon
Alors que le charbon apparaît comme une ressource incontournable pour répondre aux besoins énergétiques du XXIe siècle, sa combustion, fortement émettrice de CO2, présente un risque majeur face aux exigences de lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. Dans une première partie, cet ouvrage explique les fondamentaux du marché et le rôle que le charbon est amené à jouer dans l'approvisionnement énergétique mondial. Dans une seconde partie, il présente les nouvelles utilisations du charbon qui, associées à des technologies de captage et de stockage du CO2, peuvent permettre de concilier l'inconciliable : un recours massif au charbon et le respect des contraintes environnementa...
