L’étude de l’élevage bovin a souvent été reléguée derrière celle de la culture des grains dans l’historiographie française. Pourtant, de récents travaux à l’échelle locale et quelques synthèses ont révélé le rôle majeur de l’activité d’élevage dans les campagnes de l’Ancien Régime, son poids économique, même si les bêtes à cornes y fournissaient en premier lieu des engrais et de la force au service de l’agriculture, la production de lait et de viande pouvant paraître comme secondaire. L’analyse de la littérature agronomique met en exergue la pensée théorique relative aux différentes facettes de l’élevage, jusqu’à l’emploi artisanal de toutes les parties des bêtes mortes. La lecture des sources imprimées, de 1700 à 1850, révèle des divergences et des convergences parmi les auteurs et parmi les publications, ainsi que des enjeux variés : vers une amélioration globale des systèmes d’élevage, selon divers schémas, divers éléments, vers une multiplication des bestiaux, en quantité et en qualité, selon différentes méthodes et d’après des modèles locaux ou internationaux. L’édition se multiplie, surtout à partir des années 1750 et 1760, en parallèle à un mouvement positif d’alphabétisation et d’innovation, croissant jusqu’au milieu du XIXe siècle, mais sans que la diffusion réelle des écrits théoriques soit évidente. Cette diffusion peut apparaître tout de même parmi les sources manuscrites, administratives et notariales, à la recherche d’indices, mais sans que l’intermédiaire soit aisément perceptible.

In The Merchant Ship in the British Atlantic, 1600—1800 , Phillip Reid refutes the long-held assumption that merchant ship technology in the British Atlantic during the two centuries of its development was static for all intents and purposes, and that whatever incremental changes took place in it were inconsequential to the development of the British Empire and its offshoots. Drawing on a unique combination of evidence from both traditional and unconventional sources, Phillip Reid shows how merchants, shipwrights, and mariners used both proven principles and adaptive innovations in hulls, rigs, and steering systems to manage high physical and financial risks.

Selling Sex in the City offers a worldwide analysis of prostitution that takes a long historical approach which covers a time period from 1600 to the 2000s. The overviews in this volume examine sex work in more than twenty notorious “sin cities” around the world, ranging from Sydney to Singapore and from Casablanca to Chicago. Situated within a comparative framework of local developments, the book takes up themes such as labour relations, coercion, agency, gender, and living and working conditions. Selling Sex in the City thus reveals how prostitution and societal reactions to the trade have been influenced by colonization, industrialization, urbanization, the rise of nation states, imperialism, and war, as well as by revolutions in politics, transport, and communication. Contributors are: Pascale Absi, Dlila Amir, Deborah Bernstein, Francesca Biancani, Thaddeus Gregory Blanchette, Amalia L. Cabezas, Susan P. Conner, Satarupa Dasgupta, Mfon Umoren Ekpootu, Raelene Frances, Pamela Fuentes, Sue Gronewold, Hanan Hammad, Shawna Herzog, Philippa Hetherington, Nicole Keusch, Liat Kozma, Julia Laite, Nomi Levenkron, Mary Linehan, Maja Mechant, Fernanda Nuñez, Marion Pluskota, Cristiana Schettini, Hila Shamir, Yvonne Svanström, Isabelle Tracol-Huynh, Michela Turno, Elise van Nederveen Meerkerk, and Mark David Wyers.
