Le Corbusier : moderne, absolument moderne
réal. Yvan DemeulandreLe Corbusier incarne à ce point l'architecture que l'on pourrait croire qu'il en est un synonyme. Ses réalisations internationalement reconnues sont devenues de véritables icônes, comme la villa Savoye, la cité radieuse ou encore la chapelle de Ronchamp. Bâtisseur mais aussi théoricien hors pair, ses nombreux ouvrages ont infl uencé durablement des générations d'architectes. Le Corbusier c'est le récit d'une incroyable ambition, celle d'un esprit très rationnel et d'un génial artiste sans concession. Un artiste qui est prêt à raser des quartiers entiers de Paris au nom du bonheur de ses habitants. C'est aussi un grand séducteur qui a construit sa légende.

Fracking
R.E. Hester ... [et al.]Fracking has the potential to extract hydrocarbons from previously inaccessible sources of gas and oil, but is regularly in the news because of environmental concerns surrounding the process. First used commercially in the mid-20th Century, only recently has fracking been deployed on a large scale, revolutionising the energy industry in the USA. As more nations seek to adopt or ban fracking, do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental costs? Presenting both sides of the debate, this latest volume of Issues in Environmental Science and Technology draws on a wealth of international expertise, ranging from the oil and gas industry to Friends of the Earth. The technology of fracking is examined in detail, as well as the associated economic, societal and global climate change considerations. Individual chapters focus on exploration for unconventional hydrocarbons, the hydrogeological aspects and risks of water contamination, coal seam gas extraction in Australia and current developments in China. Anyone wishing to gain a balanced view of hydraulic fracturing will benefit from reading this book, which is aimed at researchers in academia and industry, policy makers, environmental science students and the interested layman.

Making classrooms better: 50 practical applications of mind, brain, and education science
"Learning specialist Leslie Hart once wrote that designing educational experiences without knowledge of the brain is like designing a glove without knowledge of the hand. Making Classrooms Better takes this concept a step further, building from general knowledge of brain-based education science and current educational research to offer specific suggestions for how teachers can improve student learning outcomes. Covering a range of subjects, from creating an optimal classroom climate to maximizing metacognitive skill development, this well-researched, state-of-the-art guide is an essential resource for highly effective practices that teachers, administrators, and curriculum planners can easily use. The first half of the book provides a practical overview of teaching from a Mind, Brain, and Education perspective through an understanding of the intersection of the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and pedagogy. The second half shares 50 evidence-based classroom "best practices" that have a proven positive impact on student learning outcomes and explains why they work."

Handbook of Life Design
"Our lives and careers are becoming ever more unpredictable. The "life-design paradigm" described in detail in this ground-breaking handbook helps counselors and others meet people's increasing need to develop and manage their own lives and careers. Life-design interventions, suited to a wide variety of cultural settings, help individuals become actors in their own lives and careers by activating, stimulating, and developing their personal resources. This handbook first addresses life-design theory, then shows how to apply life designing to different age groups and with more at-risk people, and looks at how to train life-design counselors."

Fire with fire : the new female power and how it will change the 21st century
Naomi Wolf“Wolf's career as the feminist spokesperson of a new generation ignited in 1990 with the publication of “The Beauty Myth”. Then, she was a 28-year-old student who felt that a false ideal of beauty 'checkmates power at every level in women's lives'. Now, she's a media star who feels that 'enough middle-class women have enough clout' to change the world. Wolf's most pressing argument now is not with any male conspiracy, but with a female one, the 'victim feminists' whom she believes have jeopardised the course of feminism.”
