Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2024Agents of European overseas empires
Private colonisers, 1450-1800
by Elodie Peyrol-Kleiber, L. H. Roper, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, Agnès Delahaye
Agents of European overseas empires involves contributors who specialise on often overlooked aspects of imperial endeavour: 'private' European interests, companies, merchants or courtiers, who conducted their own activities both with and without the benediction of polities. The chapters adopt intra- as well as inter-imperial perspectives and transport the reader to colonial America, the West Indies, the Cape of Good Hope, Batavia, or Ceylon, through the Dutch, English, French and Spanish empires. Agents of European overseas empires offers crucial insight on how these actors acquired profits and power and, in turn, laid the platforms for European global empires.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2023The illusion of the Burgundian state
by Élodie Lecuppre-Desjardin, Christopher Fletcher
On 25 January 1474, Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, appeared before his subjects in Dijon. Robed in silk, gold and precious jewels and wearing a headpiece that gave the illusion of a crown, he made a speech in which he cryptically expressed his desire to become a king. Three years later, Charles was killed at the battle of Nancy, an event that plunged the Great Principality of Burgundy into chaos. This book, innovative and essential, not only explores Burgundian history and historiography but offers a complete synthesis about the nature of politics in this region, considered both from the north and the south. Focusing on political ideologies, a number of important issues are raised relating to the medieval state, the signification of the nation under the 'Ancien Regime', the role of warfare in the creation of political power and the impact of political loyalties in the exercise of government. In doing so, the book challenges a number of existing ideas about the Burgundian state.

September 2018Le voisin de la Cité Villène
by Wilbaux, Elodie
This story is based on real facts. For the sake of confidentiality, the names of people, places and dates have been changed. Between 1985 and 1994, in Cité Villène, near Paris, children were abused by a pedophile. As adults, to free themselves from the silence that suffocates them, they complain. The narrator, a companion of one of them, reports hour after hour the details of the court trial. With a sobriety that releases all the better the emotion, she dismantles the mechanism that leads young victims to feel guilty and their families or relatives to be blind. A testimony all the more painful because it brings back buried suffering, herself having been, adolescent, victim of the actions of a narcissistic perverse teacher.

The Home For Unwanted Girls
by Joanna Goodman
In this triumphant love story, the lives of two young people are beset by conflicts of class and culture in 1950s Quebec. Maggie's English-speaking father has ambitions for his daughter that exclude her marriage to the poor French boy Gabriel next door. When Maggie becomes pregnant at age 15, her baby daughter is whisked away to an orphanage run by the Catholic church. The expectation is that her child will be adopted, but politics interferes. The Premier of Quebec mandates that orphanages will be changed to mental hospitals--it means more money for provincial coffers. It is tragic for Maggie's daughter Elodie. She, along with 5000 other children are stranded in mental hospitals without sufficient food or eductation or love. Maggie's life-long efforts to find Elodie succeed at last in a powerful bittersweet introduction.

Art Styles Not Defined by DateNovember 2013De wereld vanuit een luchtballon
by Robert Verhoogt
The invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 caused a sensation which would last for more than a century. The great aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his fellow pioneers were followed by many others, whose lift-off attracted masses of people again and again. The subsequent “balloon mania” created a new element in cultural history: the third dimension, reflected in the literary and visual arts as well as in high culture and popular imagination. Scenes from a Balloon skilfully endeavours to reconstruct the sensation the balloon caused in cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. After Thomas Baldwin produced the first image from a balloon in 1785, reproduction of remarkable prints, paintings, and photographs gained widespread popularity. Balloons inspired well-known photographers and artists, including Nadar, Spelterini, Goya, Manet, Daumier, and Redon, but they also led to a wealth of arts & crafts and popular souvenirs. The adventures of Blanchard, Nadar and other balloonists were a source of inspiration for popular writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain.

There has been growing concern that both intensive agriculture in the developed world and rapid expansion of crop cultivation in developing countries is damaging the health of soils which are the foundation of farming. At the same time we are discovering much more about how complex soils are as living biological systems. This volume reviews the latest research on soil science.After an overview of the role of soil as a provider of ecosystem services and in conservation agriculture, the book reviews soil structure and chemistry as well organic matter, soil microorganisms and fauna. The second part of the book discusses soil dynamics, from water and nutrient cycles to carbon capture and erosion mechanisms.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert authors, this will be a standard reference for soil scientists and agronomists as well as the farming community and government agencies responsible for monitoring soil health. It is accompanied by a companion volume looking at soil monitoring and management.
