"Chaque jour, la presse française a apporté et apporte encore des récits et des images d'ailleurs. Elle l'a fait très différemment selon les époques, du fait des contraintes techniques notamment ; elle le fait très diversement, surtout, selon les rubriques. On ne raconte pas le monde de la même façon dans le roman-feuilleton, la chronique boursière, la correspondance, le reportage, la mode, le sport, la météo ou l'horoscope. On ne le montre pas de la même manière à la une, en gravure, en photographie ou encore en bande dessinée... Dans cet ouvrage à la fois savant et ludique, Marie-Ève Thérenty et Sylvain Venayre ont réuni les meilleur·es spécialistes, littéraires et historien·ne·s, afin de parcourir près de deux siècles d'histoire, tout en s'interrogeant sur la manière dont les supports informent leurs lectrices et lecteurs des événements du monde. Dirigé par Marie-Ève Thérenty, professeure de littérature française, et Sylvain Venayre, professeur d'histoire contemporaine. Avec les contributions de : Paul Aron, Philippe Artières, Sixtine Audebert, Olivier Bara, Nicolas Bianchi, Claire Blandin, Lisa Bolz, Amélie Chabrier, Marie-Astrid Charlier, Manuel Charpy, Quentin Deluermoz, Oriane Deseilligny, Leïla De Vicente, Claire Fredj, Claire-Lise Gaillard, Laurence Guignard, Bruno Guimarães Martins, Dominique Kalifa, Pierre-Carl Langlais, Emmanuel Laurentin, Martine Lavaud, Matthieu Letourneux, Alexis Lévrier, Christine Marcandier, Sarah Mombert, Nejma Omari, Guillaume Pinson, Stéphanie Sauget, Julien Schuh, Mélodie Simard-Houde, Valérie Stiénon, Bounthavy Suvilay, Bertrand Tillier, Alain Vaillant, Yoan Vérilhac, Dimitri Vezyroglou, Adeline Wrona, Galia Yanoshevsky."-- Résumé de l'éditeur.

The Barbarians Speak re-creates the story of Europe's indigenous people who were nearly stricken from historical memory even as they adopted and transformed aspects of Roman culture. The Celts and Germans inhabiting temperate Europe before the arrival of the Romans left no written record of their lives and were often dismissed as "barbarians" by the Romans who conquered them. Accounts by Julius Caesar and a handful of other Roman and Greek writers would lead us to think that prior to contact with the Romans, European natives had much simpler political systems, smaller settlements, no evolving social identities, and that they practiced human sacrifice. A more accurate, sophisticated picture of the indigenous people emerges, however, from the archaeological remains of the Iron Age. Here Peter Wells brings together information that has belonged to the realm of specialists and enables the general reader to share in the excitement of rediscovering a "lost people." In so doing, he is the first to marshal material evidence in a broad-scale examination of the response by the Celts and Germans to the Roman presence in their lands.The recent discovery of large pre-Roman settlements throughout central and western Europe has only begun to show just how complex native European societies were before the conquest. Remnants of walls, bone fragments, pottery, jewelry, and coins tell much about such activities as farming, trade, and religious ritual in their communities; objects found at gravesites shed light on the richly varied lives of individuals. Wells explains that the presence--or absence--of Roman influence among these artifacts reveals a range of attitudes toward Rome at particular times, from enthusiastic acceptance among urban elites to creative resistance among rural inhabitants. In fascinating detail, Wells shows that these societies did grow more cosmopolitan under Roman occupation, but that the people were much more than passive beneficiaries; in many cases they helped determine the outcomes of Roman military and political initiatives. This book is at once a provocative, alternative reading of Roman history and a catalyst for overturning long-standing assumptions about nonliterate and indigenous societies.

This Special Issue was created to collect the most recent and novel research on seismic performance evaluation of building structures. This issue includes three important topics on seismic engineering for building structures: (1) seismic design and performance evaluation, (2) structural dynamics, and (3) seismic hazard and risk analysis. To protect building structures from earthquakes, it is necessary to conduct seismic performance evaluations on structures with reliable methods and to retrofit these structures appropriately using the results of the seismic performance evaluation.

The aim of this book is to collect the newest contributions by eminent authors in the field of NDT-SHM, both at the material and structure scale. It therefore provides novel insight at experimental and numerical levels on the application of NDT to a wide variety of materials (concrete, steel, masonry, composites, etc.) in the field of Civil Engineering and Architecture.
