Abstract

This thought-provoking book considers the global challenges and challengers to the economic supremacy of the West. Jan Winiecki explores the various problems that the West must deal with in order to remain an efficient competitor in the world economy. These, he argues, are primarily consequences of the ever-expanding welfare state; consequences that are not only economic but also socio-psychological and, therefore, political. The author also considers the evolution of Western Europe and the USA from a new perspective, noting the 'Europeanization' of US economic policies and regulation and of '

Abstract

800 cadrans solaires de l'Antiquité sont connus et conservés dans les musées. Il en existe des dizaines de milliers en Europe construits entre le Moyen Âge et aujourd'hui. La France en compte à elle seule plus de 32 000. La grande majorité fonctionne encore sur les églises, dans les jardins, sur les bâtiments publics ou sur les maisons privées. Dans Une histoire des cadrans solaires en Occident, Denis Savoie rappelle l'héritage de la gnomonique gréco-romaine puis examine les réalisations médiévales qui traduisent le net recul de l'astronomie en Occident. Un profond changement s'amorce dans la mesure du temps à la fin du Moyen Âge et au début de la Renaissance, avec l'apparition des horloges mécaniques et l'abandon des heures antiques. Le développement des mathématiques, la diffusion des premiers ouvrages imprimés au XVIe siècle, l'augmentation de la précision des cadrans sur lesquels se règlent désormais les horloges, tous ces facteurs contribuent à massivement diffuser ces instruments qui vont pour longtemps rester la seule façon de connaître l'heure dans les villes et les campagnes. Les cadrans solaires deviennent un domaine de recherche inépuisable et il s'en construit de nombreux types, des portables luxueux de poche jusqu'aux méridiennes dans les cathédrales en passant par les simples cadrans qui ornent les façades. Même si le XIXe siècle les relègue au second plan, les cadrans solaires n'ont jamais cessé d'être à la fois des objets d'art souvent ornés de devises et des instruments scientifiques et pédagogiques indispensables à la compréhension des mouvements du Soleil. Synthèse unique de la gnomonique, cette Histoire des cadrans solaires, richement illustrée, nous fait découvrir toutes les facettes d'un instrument qui remonte aux débuts de l'astronomie.

Abstract

Russia's hybrid war on the West has begun to afflict Western politics in ways that are remarkably similar to its effects on the "lands in between," small, vulnerable countries in Europe situated in between Russia and the European Union. While many in the West are only beginning to understand how hybrid war affects politics at home, Russia's meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections and subsequent elections in Europe brought to the fore problems that front-line states had been dealing with for years. Their experiences hold important lessons. This text, written by a US expert on Europe with wide experience in the UK, France, Czechia, Poland, and Russia, shows how this conflict has deepened political polarization in the lands in between, forcing countries to face a 'civilizational choice' between Russia and the European Union.
