Abstract

L'histoire semble parfois s’accélérer. En cette fin de siècle, l’estuaire de la Seine est, de toute évidence, soumis à cette multiplication des projets qui engagent l’avenir. En l’espace de dix ans, trois chantiers majeurs y ont ainsi trouvé leur aboutissement : le pont de Normandie, la réserve naturelle de l’estuaire et le projet « Port 2000 ». Ces projets, parfois concurrents, interviennent tous au sein d’un même espace. Ils ouvrent ainsi la voie à des conflits d’intérêt que l’Etat et les acteurs locaux s’emploient à résoudre, tout en essayant de jeter les bases d’un développement équilibré et durable. Ces projets sont cependant le résultat de dynamiques ancrées dans une histoire déjà ancienne ; celles-ci ont fait de l’estuaire un espace en perpétuelle mutation. Le pont de Normandie représente ainsi l’aboutissement d’un long processus ; on a toujours cherché, depuis plus d’un siècle, à franchir l’estuaire le plus loin possible vers l’aval...

Abstract

La personnalité et l’œuvre d’Émile Bernard constituent un véritable « cas » dans l’histoire de l’art moderne, susceptible en cela d’intéresser au premier chef les historiens de l’art. Voilà en effet un homme qui a fréquenté quelques-uns uns des plus grands artistes de son temps, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, un homme qui a été au cœur des recherches avant-gardistes du groupe de Pont-Aven, qui a eu affaire aux grands marchands parisiens, Le Barc de Bouteville et Ambroise Vollard, et qui décide à un moment donné de se tourner résolument vers le passé pour essayer de retrouver ce qu’il croit définitivement perdu : la foi et le métier des maîtres anciens, pour tenir un discours de plus en plus réactionnaire sur les arts de son temps et renier les expériences de sa jeunesse. Si l’on ne saurait dire la part prise par le dépit de se sentir injustement méconnu dans cette singulière décision, il est certain qu’elle causa la mise à l’écart de l’artiste dans l’histoire canonique de la peinture du XXe siècle. L’exposition que présente aujourd’hui l’INHA porte précisément sur ce point, en s’efforçant d’éclairer tout le parcours d’Émile Bernard et en mettant en évidence, auprès de trois tableaux (dont un bel Autoportrait), l’un des points incontestablement forts de sa création, son œuvre magistral de graveur et de lithographe, notamment comme illustrateur de livres.

Abstract

Mithridates VI Eupator, the last king of Pontos, was undoubtedly one of the most prominent figures in the late Hellenistic period. Throughout his long reign (120-63 BC), the political and cultural landscape of Asia Minor and the Black Sea area was reshaped along new lines. The authors present new archaeological research and new interpretations of various aspects of Pontic society, its contacts with the Greek world and its eastern neighbours and investigate the background for the expansion of the Pontic Kingdom that eventually led to the confrontation with Rome.

Abstract

"An interpretation of early modern Paris demonstrating that sound was as important as vision during the reign of Louis XIV. Discloses myriad ways in which sound generated an interpenetration of elite and popular culture, revealing complex acoustic dimensions of class, politics, sexuality, and punishment"--

Abstract

Focusing on the impact of the Savannah River Plant (SRP) on the communities it created, rejuvenated, or displaced, this book explores the parallel militarization and modernization of the Cold War-era South. The SRP, a scientific and industrial complex near Aiken, South Carolina, grew out of a 1950 partnership between the Atomic Energy Commission and the DuPont Corporation and was dedicated to producing materials for the hydrogen bomb. Kari Frederickson shows how the needs of the expanding national security state, in combination with the corporate culture of DuPont, transformed the economy, lan

Abstract

Comprising five microhistories, this book proposes that the French Revolution's religious politics in small towns weakened democratic society to such an extent that it precluded political democracy. It details two revolutionary dynamics that damaged the civic life of small towns: social polarisation and the loss of local institutions that had been a source of social capital as well as a common good.

Abstract

L’aménagement de la ligne D du métropolitain, qui desservira d’est en ouest l’agglomération lyonnaise, a rendu nécessaire l’intervention préalable des archéologues sur plusieurs points sensibles du tracé. Après un premier volume traitant des fouilles de l’avenue Adolphe Max, à Lyon Saint-Jean, voici celui consacré au pont de la Guillotière. La réalisation des sections Gabriel Péri-Bellecour, comportant le forage d’un tunnel sous le Rhône, a en effet été l’occasion d’une redécouverte des vestiges du vieux "pont du Rhosne". Rares sont aujourd’hui les Lyonnais qui, empruntant ce trajet, savent que ce fut là, jusqu’au XVIIIe siècle, l’unique ouvrage permettant de franchir le Rhône. L’importance vitale de cette liaison pour la ville est à l’origine, dès le XIIe siècle, d’une impressionnante entreprise pour établir, puis maintenir le pont contre les assauts d’un fleuve impétueux dont les crues annuelles menaçaient d’emporter piles et arches. C’est toute cette aventure de la lutte de l’homme et du fleuve qui est retracée ici par les chercheurs de l’équipe pluridisciplinaire chargée de l’opération. Les données archéologiques et géomorphologiques recueillies sur le terrain, étayées par une série inédite de datations dendrochronologiques, sont confrontées à la riche documentation conservée aux archives municipales et départementales. Les phases successives de réfection du monument, font l’objet de restitutions architecturales attrayantes. Voici qui éclaire d’un jour nouveau l’histoire "des ponts" de la Guillotière.

Abstract

Machiavelli praised his military genius. European royalty sought out his secret elixir against poison. His life inspired Mozart's first opera, while for centuries poets and playwrights recited bloody, romantic tales of his victories, defeats, intrigues, concubines, and mysterious death. But until now no modern historian has recounted the full story of Mithradates, the ruthless king and visionary rebel who challenged the power of Rome in the first century BC. In this richly illustrated book--the first biography of Mithradates in fifty years--Adrienne Mayor combines a storyteller's gifts with the most recent archaeological and scientific discoveries to tell the tale of Mithradates as it has never been told before. The Poison King describes a life brimming with spectacle and excitement. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals. The Poison King is a gripping account of one of Rome's most relentless but least understood foes.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Abstract

In fiscal year 1994, approximately $2.4 billion was spent on cleanup (or remediation) activities through the Defense Environmental Restoration Account and the Base Realignment and Closure act; in fiscal year 1996, approximately $2.1 billion will be spent, slightly less than half of the total Department of Defense (DoD) environmental security budget. Efforts to increase the efficiency of remediation activities, either by reducing costs or accelerating the process through simplification and streamlining, could have a substantial effect on DoD's ability to meet its cleanup obligations within an increasingly constrained budget. By examining the remediation management programs of two large chemical companies, Olin Corporation and DuPont, the authors identified activities DoD could implement to improve its remediation of thousands of sites at active and closing installations and formerly used defense sites. The following were the core identified tasks: Distribute responsibilities between the central management group and decentralized execution teams, adopt a business process perspective, include more-focused use of performance measurement, proactively identify and manage potential liabilities, and improve stakeholder (regulator and community) interactions.
