Description, mode d'emploi, et appréciation des appareils et instruments, Tome 1

Arsenal de la chirurgie contemporaine

The ten essays in the present collection focus on different aspects of integrity, honesty, and truth seeking (a section is devoted to each), all of which have become important in the recent political climate. Most of the contributors are philosophers, but other disciplines are represented, including economics, theology, communication studies, and history. Some contributors focus on theory, whereas others address more practical concerns...This is an interesting and
timely collection, and the essays are thoughtful and well written. All the papers were written specially for this volume, and taken together, they offer a pioneering discussion of a somewhat neglected set of virtues...Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.

Read and Wonder

Sea Horse: The Shyest Fish in the Sea

"This important and timely collection brings to the fore one of the most compelling questions of the urban age, how to retrofit the troubled cityscapes bequeathed by two centuries of industrial capitalism? This is to challenge the ethos of mindless material expansion, with all the waste and redundancy it generates, and urge its replacement with a new urban political ecology that values restoration and resilience. Retrofitting Cities offers much wisdom for an urban world at risk." –Brendan Gleeson, University of Melbourne
"Retrofitting cities is THE pre-eminent sustainability challenge of the 21st century. It is complex – and requires assembling and applying a new matrix of innovative technical, design, governance and community processes to the varied urban fabrics of metropolitan areas, across all global settings. Hodson and Marvin make an important early contribution to this challenge of urban transformation by directing our attention to how this might begin to be implemented." –Peter W. Newton, Swinburne University of Technology and Co-operative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living
"This marvelous and timely volume provides critical insight into the social, technical, political, bureaucratic, economic, cultural, and environmental factors that urban retrofitting programmes face. Weaving together critical conceptual insights alongside rigorous empirical evidence, this volume travels the world in order toexplore and analyze the complex processes of metropolitan retrofit. Combining optimism with suspicion in appropriate amounts, this book provides an unparalleled insight into one most important agendas of our time." –Mark Whitehead, Aberystwyth University
"Refurbishing the existing building stock or upgrading energy infrastructures are crucial to make our cities more climate friendly and sustainable. Still, current research and policy making largely focuses on the development of new technologies and systems. This book makes up for this deficit and provides a much-needed and fresh perspective on urban retrofit. Applying a socio-technical perspective helps us understand key challenges of infrastructure change and develop governance capacities for urban retrofit." –Harald Rohracher,Linköping University
"This fascinating, wide-ranging, state of the art volume sheds light on both the technological concerns associated with urban retrofitting and the complexity of governing processes that sustain them. The contributors to Retrofitting Cities reject the technological automatism associated with mainstream retrofitting conversations and provide a critical perspective on the societal and political consequences of the urban transition in an era of climate change." –Roger Keil, York Research Chair in Global Sub/Urban Studies
"The book sheds light on the complexity of urban retrofit and presents retrofitting as a ‘deeply social and political concern’ (p.266). The various contributions illuminate that retrofitting is inherently contested and subject to different interpretations, which can be traced back to it being a socio-technical endeavour involving a diverse range of domains, actors and technologies and starting from very different cultural and material preconditions." – Lea Fuenfschilling, Lund University, International Journal of Housing Policy

Around the Table That Grandad Built

&ldquo;Karen Marie Moning is back, delivering the kind of spellbinding, addictive, twisted tale we love to devour. Magic and madness, intrigue and illusion, passion and power, sexual tension and more sexual tension. . . . Burned is a book that shouldn't be missed. Thrilling, suspenseful, sexy&mdash;it has all the right stuff to delight the most ardent of Fever fans.&rdquo;&mdash;USA Today&ldquo;Dark, delicious suspense! Karen Marie Moning is my author of choice and Fever is my series of choice for action-packed suspense with a spine-tingling paranormal twist.&rdquo;&mdash;#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner&ldquo;Mac is back and badder than ever!&rdquo;&mdash;#1&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author J. R. Ward&ldquo;A masterwork by an incomparable writer. Burned is brilliant, sexy, and dangerous. I adore Moning! No one does it better.&rdquo;&mdash;#1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Day &#160; &ldquo;Prepare for a heart-stopping trip into the epic Fever world, filled with gasp-out-loud surprises and sweltering sensuality.&rdquo;&mdash;#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole &#160; &ldquo;Burned gets the highest rating from me. I wanted to run through town shouting &lsquo;Mac is back! Mac is back!&rsquo; Grab some snacks, something to drink, and settle down for a cover-to-cover read that will likely keep you up all night.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard&ldquo;One of the most anticipated books in romance . . . Burned is told through several viewpoints, but the dominating view is Mac&rsquo;s, and it&rsquo;s wonderful to have her back, as well as get to spend time with the two Alphas in her life.&rdquo;&mdash;Heroes and Heartbreakers &#160; &ldquo;So what is it about Burned that sets it apart from its six predecessors? . . . Is it the twist(s) that left my jaw agape and my tongue mute for several long, stunned moments? Or maybe the steamy scenes Moning is so famous for that leave us hot, bothered and uncomfortably aroused? Or perhaps the expansion of mysterious characters&rsquo; backstories that allows us a glimpse into what makes them tick? Maybe it&rsquo;s the discovery of new strengths within our favorite underdogs? Or perhaps it&rsquo;s simply how all of these things meld together into one breathtakingly beautiful aria from a truly talented writer whose ability to weave vivid imagery is unlike that of any other novelist. I suppose you&rsquo;ll just have to find out for yourself. Because this Moning Maniac is ready to crack that hardcover open and start it all over again.&rdquo;&mdash;PopWrapped &#160; &ldquo;Deeply complex, heady and action-packed.&rdquo;&mdash;RT Book Reviews &#160; &ldquo;If you are a fan of urban fantasy, this is an absolute, top must-read series.&#160; I can&rsquo;t put into words how much I love the Fever world and Karen Marie Moning&rsquo;s writing. If you are a fan of distant, alpha male creatures, Barrons is the apex predator. He is by far my favorite character in urban fantasy literature. Mac is by far my favorite heroine for her humanity and kick ass-ness. If you are looking for an epic story, full of fae lore, twists and turns, misdirections and game changers, this is the series you must read.&rdquo;&mdash;Addicted 2 Heroines &#160; &ldquo;I say this all the time but I&rsquo;ll say it once again. If you haven&rsquo;t read the Fever series, you simply must. There aren&rsquo;t many authors out there who can still blow your mind like Karen Marie Moning can.&rdquo;&mdash;Under the Covers
