Henry VIII in History, Historiography and Literature
If this anthology on the literary appreciation of the life and times of Henry VIII can show how history, historiography and the history of literature are woven together as threads in a tapestry, if this book can show how varied the sources are from which historical images are fed, especially those of significant historical figures, then it will have surely fulfilled its purpose.

Histoire des arts décoratifs
L'Art déco France-Amérique du Nord
Avec l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de 1925, l'Art déco séduit le monde. De New York à Paris, la presse célèbre cet événement qui impose durablement ce style universel. Traversant l'Atlantique à bord de fastueux paquebots tels Ile-de-France et Normandie, des grands décorateurs français comme Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Jules Leleu, André Mare, Jean Dunand et Pierre Chareau exposent dans les grands magasins, de New York à Philadelphie. Du Mexique au Canada, cet engouement est porté par des architectes nord-américains formés à l'Ecole nationale des beaux-arts de Paris dès le début du xxe siècle, puis à l'Art Training Center de Meudon et à la Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts, deux écoles d'art fondées au lendemain d'une Première Guerre mondiale qui a renforcé les liens entre les deux continents. L'Amérique de Raymond Hood et de Wallace K. Harrison, auteurs du Rockefeller Center, adopte les architectes et artistes français Léon Arnal, Edgar Brandt, Jacques Carlu, Paul Cret, Alfred Janniot... Les recherches inédites de cet ouvrage dévoilent une émulation réciproque qui s'illustre aussi bien dans l'architecture et l'ornementation des gratte-ciel que dans le cinéma, la mode, la presse, le sport et l'art de vivre. Le nouveau style est porté par des figures telles que Paul Iribe et Cecil B. DeMille, Jean Patou et Paul Poiret, Lindbergh, Costes et Bellonte, Joséphine Baker ou Johnny Weissmuller. Trente-sept textes et 350 illustrations permettent de découvrir les liens uniques qui unissent la France et l'Amérique, depuis la statue de la Liberté de Bartholdi jusqu'au Streamline qui succède à l'Art déco. Ce nouveau design aux lignes fluides et galbées surgit dans les années 1930 et sera la vedette de la New York World Fair de 1939, qui a pour thème "The World of Tomorrow" .

Temporal Logic, Omniscience, Human Freedom - Perspectives in Analytic Philosophy
The work shows the usefulness and limitation of modern logic in the study of traditional metaphysical problems. As is the usual case in all criticism of analytic philosophers against traditional philosophy, word usage must be limited to what the human mind can know. The notion of timeless knowledge for example contradicts our normal mode of word usage and cannot serve as adequate in reference to knowledge be it that of man or of God. If timeless knowledge applied to divine mode of knowing then there cannot be human freedom.

A Study of Conversion Among The Angas of Plateau State of Nigeria With Emphasis on Christianity
This is so far the most-detailed information on the Angas (Ngas), the largest ethnic group on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. The book draws up a sketch of both the political and ecclesiastical history of the people. This is followed by socio-anthropological data about the people including a description of the traditional religion of the Angas (Ngas). The material serves as the necessary springboard for discussing the factors that were responsible for the conversion of the Angas (Ngas) people of Nigeria. The author concludes his thesis by giving a theoretical analysis of some of the theories of conversion per se and opting for a Hortonian theory as the most cogent. It is certainly an indispensable work dealing with conversion to and from any religion although in this case Christianity is used as a focus.

Polish Psychological Verbs at the Lexicon-Syntax Interface in Cross-linguistic Perspective
This book is a comparative study of Polish psychological verbs. The analysis concentrates on the lexicon-syntax interface of psych verbs, and constitutes an argument in favour of its strong dependence on event structure. The aim of this study is to show that the class of Polish psych verbs, as in many other languages, is not uniform. The analysed subclasses are differentiated on the basis of their causation and stativity. The marriage of those semantic traits and their structural representation is possible only if it is performed via event structure configuration, a layer which appears to underlie the conceptualisation of events.

Differential effects of early and late nocturnal sleep on the consolidation of declarative and nondeclarative memory
Nocturnal sleep apparently promotes the translation of labile short-term memories into more stable long-term memories. The present studies suggest that the sleep-related consolidation of hippocampus-mediated memories benefits primarily from early nocturnal sleep. A reduced activation of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors and a neocortico-hippocampal 'off-line' mode during this part of sleep may be of particular relevance for this phenomenon. In contrast, non hippocampus-mediated memories benefit primarily from late nocturnal sleep. In addition to a critical amount of REM sleep, other, yet unknown factors may contribute to the consolidation of non hippocampus-mediated memories during late nocturnal sleep.

The failed infanticide
Simply go through the pages of this piece of work and discover in all sincerity the story of a life, full of philosophy. It all started from the denial of a pregnancy in 1974 and the desire to share the course of my life. I confide in you today a piece of my story. I am sharing with you what I have lived so as to show you that a birth near death is not a fatality, if you walk with a determined step by converting your suffering into strength and courage, in order to be able to live and expand yourself.

Seeing Jaakob
Despite the considerable amount of scholarship on Mann's work, his tetralogy – composed prior to and during his exile from Nazi Germany – has received less attention and has not been examined from the perspective of the relationship of visuality to narrative. In this study of Mann's reworking of the biblical account of Jacob, father of Joseph, the author examines the ways the novel's protagonists frame their environment through knowledge and meaning gained via specific acts of seeing. While considering Mann's oft-stated intent to refunctionalize myth by means of psychology for humane and progressive purposes, the book explores the lavish narrative attention Mann gives to visual detail, visual stimulation, the protagonists' eyes, ways of seeing, and even to staging and performance in anticipation of another's way of seeing. The results reveal that the plot of the first Joseph novel is carried and propelled by a series of visual encounters during which the narrative draws attention to the protagonists' eyes and acts of looking.

Un pays divisé. Identité, fédéralisme et régionalisme au Canada
Le Canada est un pays divisé... mais à quel point ? Et surtout, comment expliquer et interpréter ce phénomène ? A l'aide de données de sondage originales issues de l'enquête La Confédération de demain 2. 0, The Confederation of Tomorrow 2. 0, ce livre brosse un portrait contemporain des tensions à l'oeuvre au sein de la fédération canadienne. Nous avons sondé les Canadiens pour mieux saisir le rapport qu'ils entretiennent avec leurs pôles identitaires ainsi qu'avec le fédéralisme et le régionalisme. Divisé, le Canada l'est en effet d'abord sur le plan des équations identitaires que ses citoyens mettent de l'avant pour s'autoreprésenter. Ce livre fait ressortir l'influence de certains noeuds dans cette toile identitaire sur les préférences institutionnelles à l'échelle provinciale et régionale. De même, il analyse la manière dont les diverses catégories de population au pays se représentent les avantages et les inconvénients du système fédéral, ainsi que les rapports qu'elles entretiennent avec certaines politiques publiques clés pour leur province ou leur région, comme le programme de la péréquation, la protection de l'environnement, le processus de réconciliation, etc. Un pays divisé est destiné autant aux chercheurs qu'aux étudiants, aux citoyens qu'aux fonctionnaires et décideurs politiques. Il précise les tenants et aboutissants des divers événements historiques et sociopolitiques qui ponctuent le narratif de son argumentaire, tout en suivant un protocole rigoureux et détaillé dans l'analyse scientifique des données recueillies.

Thomas Mann's «Joseph und seine Brüder» and the Phallic Theology of the Old Testament
When Thomas Mann began to work on his Joseph novel, he was motivated to do so by the image of the beautiful seventeen-year-old youth and the erotic attraction this image exercised on him personally. He undertook to retell the biblical story of Joseph in order to explore the meaning of this attraction. In the phallic theology of the Old Testament - Israel's covenant with Yahweh was a sacred marriage, outwardly marked by circumcision, for the purpose of mutual sanctification and aggrandizement - Mann discovered the framework of a metaphysics of homoerotic desire. This book explores the many implications Mann found in his biblical source, including the paradoxical notion that a certain degree of suppression of the original desire is required if it is to continue to play its all-important role as a motivating force.

U2 (3e édition). Le groupe, les chansons, la musique
U2, un groupe engagé U2 c'est 45 ans de chansons, de concerts, d'engagement pour le rock et pour la musique en général. U2 c'est également 4 copains de lycée issu de la banlieue de Dublin : Paul Hewson (alias Bono Vox/chant), David Evans (alias The Edge/guitare), Adam Clayton (basse) et Larry Mullen (batterie). Dans une biographie au rythme endiablé, Ernesto Assante nous propose de visiter ces quatre décennies avec les membres du groupe depuis leurs débuts dans la cuisine de la famille Evans jusqu'aux concerts de la tournée The Joshua Tree Tour en 2019, et à leur dernier album, Songs of Surrender en 2023. Outre les principales dates jalonnant une carrière internationale, l'auteur s'est aussi intéressé à ce qui fait l'essence de ce groupe qui a duré, en dépit des années, symbole de l'évolution de la musique en général et du rock en particulier. Ponctué par de nombreuses anecdotes racontées par les principaux protagonistes, le récit est richement illustré par des photos d'archives personnelles, des clichés pris pendant les concerts et les tournées, des extraits de clips vidéos de ce groupe qui n'a jamais cessé de se renouveler pour le plus grand bonheur de leurs fans dans le monde entier.

Read Ancient African scripts from any current African language. Volume 2
The son of Douaouf, the brilliant, scribe of the early XIIth Dynasty Xty " Khety " said this : "The man continues to subsist after reaching the haven of death and his actions are beside him in a heap. " If regression is the main cause of the alarming situation of Africa and its tails the perceptibles consequences at all levels, the solution to this problem is eminently political. It inevitably involves the constitution of a pan-African State. For men, there is no unity without memory of the past. In fact, the construction of a federal state inevitably involves the restoration of African historical consciousness. There is no national and federal identity without a common language. The unification of Africa will only be possible if it takes the measure of its linguistic unification issue. To a lesser extent but like Cheikh Anta Diop in his book titled the Cultural Unity, I was animated throughout this heuristic by the idea that only the true knowledge of the past can maintain the consciousness and the feeling of a historical continuity essential to the consolidation of a nation for the purpose of building a multinational state in line with its past. Like Cheikh Anta Diop, I build my sureness on the legitimate idea that a people who lost a significant part of their historical memory must engage in the investigation of their past in every possible way. This investigation can take the contours of a reconnection with its past through so-called old languages. But a people can not live only with by merely repeating of what others tell them about themselves. The investigation through its linguistic past allows especially a direct knowledge of oneself. In addition to the fact that this knowledge simply highlights its weaknesses, it allows also to become aware by an introspective and therefore reflective of its real abilities and strengths. It structures being and the consciousness of being to resist any form of servile and degrading ideology. This quest for the past, not founded on blind passion but objectivity, nourishes a healthy ambition for a real universalism. To know one's past is already to project one's future. To know one's past is to give oneself the capacity to be able to bring to others in a perspective of giving and receiving. To know one's past is to refuse intellectual guardianship and wait-and-seeism. To know one's past is to be reborn.

On the Border - The Otherness of God and the Multiplicity of the Religions
The Christian theology of religions at present faces a crisis. What precisely is the task of the theology of religions ? Does it merely consist in interpreting the non-Christian religions as steps, phases or contributions in the light of Christianity ? Has one from the theological side conceded the maximum to the non-Christian religions by acknowledging them as anonymous Christianity (Karl Rahner)? This study is an exploration on how one shall liberate the religion of the other from anonymity : how one shall leave the other with his/her own name. The model of thought employed in this study is gained through an analysis of the intercultural process of understanding, explained with instances from Africa and South America.

Sons of Fantasy
When we were children, we believed anything was possible... This book is a fantasy novel originally written for children. But, if you are a father or a mother, a teacher or a writer, if you still have some bits of fantasy in your soul... then, this novel is for you too. We all know how geniuses changed the world with their childlike Imagination, and how people use creative thinking to solve problems. This is a story about hope ; "Sons of Fantasy" shares the story of M. Alger, a father grieving for the loss of his dear wife, who left him with two beautiful kids. Norris and Socrates were adjusting to life without Mom... But things got more complicated when one of them was paralyzed because of a severe psychological trauma due to an overdose of fantasy... This family has a very interesting neighbor who lives a few feet away. He has a weird little hobby, reading books in the most unlikely places... He for example travelled to Romania and read "Dracula" by Bram Stoker in the Castelul Bran Castle, because it's said that the main character Dracula lived in it. And then all of a sudden he stopped travelling... He got a month ago a big long hat that belongs to the greatest witch that lived during the middle ages, "Moje Gayla". In fact, after being burned by the church, one of her relatives kept her belongings inside a wooden box... and in the twentieth century one of her grandchildren donated the box to "The Magic Square Museum" in London. Genius bought the hat at a public auction as an art relic to decorate one of his rooms. Could this weird neighbor be the reason of Socrates' psychological trauma ? Or maybe he is the one who will cure him ? And what has the hat to do with all this ?

Why We Are Not What We Think We Are
Questions about personal identity and about time affect us all. The concern for "our" future and the fear of "our" death are based on (mostly vague) concepts of personal identity over time. Though the atomic components of our present body are not identical with the ones shown on our childhood photos, we have no doubts in recognizing ourselves on those pictures. Similarly, we are convinced that "we" will be able to recognize "ourselves" on our present passport-photos even in the future. Is this confidence justified ? If it is not, our conception of life and death would be as faulty as was the image of the universe in the Middle Ages.

Perfect fundamental values and the development of Africa. From African Renaissance to Illumination
This book is the result of fundamental research on the thorny issue of Africa's development. It demonstrates that the development of human societies is first and foremost a resultant of true, perfect and eternal knowledge, a process of conversion of the soul to the True, the Good and the Beautiful, before becoming a quest for material and financial means. To acquire this knowledge, one must resort to all knowledge that deals with life and man, beginning with that of God who is the source of this authentic knowledge. Man, made in the image of God, if he goes back to this source, finds the universal fundamentals of perfect knowledge which open to him the path of complete and eternal knowledge. This enables him to launch victoriously into development. All human cultures have this opportunity to resort to the original sources of knowledge : Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and animism. This true and perfect knowledge sets the man in the certainties that renew his intelligence and make him a new, perfect and creative being of development. All the people who have developed have gone through this salutary way. Africa cannot be an exception to this golden rule. With the assistance of CERCUDE and OVAFOPAC.
