Marcel Mauss was the nephew and most distinguished pupil of Émile Durkheim, whose review L'Année sociologique he helped to found and edit. Henri Hubert was another member of the group of sociologists who developed under the influence of Durkheim. The present book is one of the best-known essays pulbished in L'Année sociologique and has been regarded as a model for method and mode of interpretation. Its subject is at the very center of the comparative study of religion. The authors describe a basic sacrifice drawn from Indian sources and show what is fundamental and constant, comparing Indian and Hebrew practices in particular, then Greek and Roman, then additional practices from many eras and cultures.

L'ouvrage présente une somme importante du vocabulaire en usage dans la tribu des Ait Hadiddou du Haut Atlas oriental. La collecte a eu lieu dans plusieurs localités du pays de cette tribu entre 1981 et 1991 et principalement dans les villages suivants : Agdal, Amouguer, Aqdim, Imilchil, Outerbate, Timaryine. Le vocabulaire récolté couvre de nombreux champs qui relèvent des pratiques quotidiennes des villageois et, à ce titre, permet de renseigner sur les faits sociaux de la période où la collecte a eu lieu. Loin d'être exhaustif, ce lexique peut être un point de départ pour une recherche approfondie sur la vie du lexique dans la langue et sur la vie des villageois dans leur quotidien.

"Who is a vulnerable person in human rights law? The question, much examined in international law, is surprisingly under explored in European human rights law. This important new work remedies that by assessing the treatment of vulnerability by the European Court of Human Rights.

Not confining itself to the abstract, however, it provides a bridge from the theoretical to the practical by undertaking a comprehensive examination of the Court's approach under Article 3 ECHR. It pays particular attention to its understanding of human dignity"--
