Jean-Pierre Vernant and Pierre Vidal-Naquet are leaders in a contemporary French classical scholarship that has produced a stunning reconfiguration of Greek thought and literature. Here they provide a disturbing and decidedly nonclassical reading of Greek myth and tragedy and the relationship between them. Jean-Pierre Vernant is Professor Emeritus of Comparative Study of Ancient Religions at the College de France in Paris. Pierre Vidal-Naquet is Director of Studies and Professor of Sociology at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris.

These essays treat a range of issues from the ancient Jewish revolt against Roman rule and the much-mythologized martyrdom at Masada, the French Revolution, and Marxism’s difficulties with "the Jewish question," to Nazi genocide and the deep problems of representing it.

The head carries most of the sensory systems that enable us to function effectively in our three-dimensional habitat. Without adequate head movement control, efficient spatial orientation and motor responses to visual and auditory stimuli could not be carried out. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of the control of vertebrate head movements and its biomechanical and neural basis. It covers the entire spectrum of research on head-neck movements, ranging from the global description and analysis of a particular behavior to its underlying mechanisms at the level of neurotransmi

`Why life?’ Questions of this type were for a long time the prerogative of philosophers who left the `how’ question to scientists. Nowadays, Darwin’s successors no longer have any qualms about addressing the `why’ as well as the `how’. Over a century ago, Darwin modestly admitted having ’thrown some light on the origin of species - this mystery of mysteries’. Two major advances in the following decades helped biologists answer many of the questions he left unsolved. The first was the discovery of the laws of heredity, the second that of DNA. Both provi

Cet ouvrage présente différents points de vue sur une même méthode, l’analyse des correspondances. Il montre comment cette méthode s’est développée pour traiter des données de plus en plus variées et complexes et comment elle s’est enrichie au contact d’autres courants de pensée. De plus, il présente un panorama des applications possibles. Cet ouvrage qui rassemble des contributions de différents auteurs présente un exposé à la fois progressif sur le plan didactique et suffisamment vaste pour rassembler en un seul volume des développements théoriques rÃ
