In 1959 C. P. Snow delivered his now-famous Rede Lecture, 'The Two Cultures,' a reflection on the academy based on the premise that intellectual life was divided into two cultures: the arts and humanities on one side and science on the other. Since then, a third culture, generally termed 'social science' and comprised of fields such as sociology, political science, economics, and psychology, has emerged. Jerome Kagan's book describes the assumptions, vocabulary, and contributions of each of these cultures and argues that the meanings of many of the concepts used by each culture are unique to it and do not apply to the others because the source of evidence for the term is special. The text summarizes the contributions of the social sciences and humanities to our understanding of human nature and questions the popular belief that biological processes are the main determinant of variation in human behavior.

In this second edition of Infectious Diseases and Arthropods, Jerome Goddard summarizes the latest thinking about the biological, entomological, and clinical aspects of the major vector-borne diseases around the world. His book covers mosquito-, tick-, and flea-borne diseases, and a variety of other miscellaneous vector-borne diseases, including Chagas' disease, African sleeping sickness, onchocerciasis, scrub typhus, and louse-borne infections. The author provides for each disease a description of the vector involved, notes on its biology and ecology, distribution maps, and general clinical guidelines for treatment and control. Among the diseases fully discussed are malaria, dengue and yellow fevers, lymphatic filariasis, spotted fevers, ehrlichiosis, lyme disease, tularemia, and plague. Other arthropod-caused or related problems-such as myiasis, imaginary insect or mite infestations, and arthropod stings and bites-are also treated. At a time when vector-borne diseases are spreading ever more widely, Infectious Diseases and Arthropods provides physicians, infectious disease specialists, medical entomologists, and public health officials with an up-to-date, readily accessible, gold-standard reference source.

Comment saisir un établissement savant dans ses changements, ses évolutions et ses modifications ? Quel point de vue adopter pour comprendre les continuités et les ruptures dans l’histoire d’une institution scientifique ? Ce livre entreprend l’archéologie d’un espace savant, l’observatoire de Toulouse aux xviiie et xixe siècles, examiné dans ses multiples dimensions : scientifiques et techniques, sociales et économiques, politiques et culturelles. L’observatoire n’est pas seulement un espace clos sur lui-même, érigé en vue du déploiement de la raison scientifique. C’est aussi une architecture, une collection d’instruments, un lieu de vie pour les astronomes, un symbole pour les acteurs politiques, une surface d’inscription des pratiques savantes, ainsi qu’un point nodal dans un ensemble de réseaux. Ces éléments sont tous travaillés en profondeur par de grands régimes de savoirs qui définissent, pour une époque donnée, la place de la science dans la société. L’observatoire de Toulouse est ainsi tour à tour l’incarnation de la science aristocratique à la recherche de la distinction individuelle au xviiie siècle, l’élément quadrillé d’une administration puissante dans la première partie du xixe siècle, le symbole républicain d’une pratique scientifique orientée vers la production massive de données numériques après 1870. Ces modifications successives de l’observatoire ne sont ni abruptes ni mécaniques; elles se combinent à des exigences, des contraintes et des singularités locales. Les variations d’échelles entre un mode d’être général des pratiques scientifiques et son usage dans la cité garonnaise dessinent à chaque fois un régime de savoirs spécifique à Toulouse.

A l'occasion de la grande rétrospective consacrée à Bernard Buffet au Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris à partir d'octobre 2016, ce livre revient, non sans prendre en compte les années 1946-1949 qui ont vu s'affirmer un artiste majeur, sur la période 1950-1958 que le peintre a partagée avec Pierre Bergé. Sa connaissance de l'histoire de l'art et des grands maîtres l'a incité à réinventer la peinture en accordant une importance particulière au dessin. Une palette réduite, l'austérité des sujets traités, un certain "misérabilisme" de ses figures ont pu faire rapprocher son oeuvre du réalisme poétique du cinéma français des années 1930-1940 -une oeuvre que cet ouvrage invite à découvrir et à s'approprier à travers 100 reproductions et un entretien exclusif avec Pierre Bergé.
