A revised checklist of the Palaearctic Procridinae is given. The order of tribes, genera and species differs from that published in the previous checklists (Efetov & Tarmann, 1995; 1999). Artonini are placed at the beginning as they are considered to represent a more ancient group than Procridini. The 'Clelea-group' as well as Chrysartona, Hysteroscene, Tasema, Morionia, and Inope are transferred to Artonini. Funeralia is transferred to Procridini. The order of the genera Theresimima, Rhagades, Zygaenoprocris, Adscita, Jordanita and their subgenera is in accordance with the latest phylogenetic investigations (Efetov, 2004; 2005) and new molecular data (Efetov et al. , 2010; 2011; 2012). The following taxa are newly described: Fuscartona Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n. , Striartona Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n. , Pseudoilliberis Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n. , and Nikilliberis Efetov & Tarmann, subgen. n. In addition, Hedina Alberti, 1954, stat. n. , and Zama Herrich-Schaffer, 1855, stat. rev. , are raised from subgeneric to generic rank.

L'oeil du photographe Robert Polidori a su capter les merveilles du Val de Loire: que ce soit la remarquable salle féodale du château de Blois, les forteresses de Saumur et d'Angers ou la magnificence d'Azay-le-Rideau, construit dans les premières années du règne de François Ier, ou encore la grandeur de Chambord, châteaux de contes et de légendes... Ne fallait-il pas rendre hommage, tout au long d'un reportage unique, magique, où s'entremêlent châteaux brumeux, châteaux modestes, châteaux grandioses, châteaux fiers ou châteaux discrets, à cette région où les rois choisirent de bâtir somptueusement?

The most visual book on early 1970s graffiti ever published. Early 70s New York saw the growth of a new phenomenon. Graffiti is the greatest and most influential artistic movement of our time. It was created by kids, for kids. In Classic Hits, the key persons and pioneers tell their own story. Classic Hits is an eye-opening first-hand story told in unique pictures and text. From Taki 183 to Blade to Iz the Wiz. Their names have garnered star status far beyond graffiti culture, and without them, no Seen, no Banksy, no Revok. In Classic Hits, the pioneers talk about how they got started and where graffiti took them. We follow them to a different New York and get a glimpse of their driving forces. Together, the essays offer an invaluable picture of graffiti in the early, playful years. Author Alan Fleisher started writing graffiti in the Bronx at the age of 13 in 1972. Unlike most, he always carried his camera with him. Through his many adventures in the subway depots, he got to know several of the greatest writers of New York. his experiences give Classic Hits a unique insider view. Classic Hits was created to give the reader a sense of real history from the writers who were there in the early years of graffiti.

Ce livre est une théorie d'ensemble de la traduction. Par son point de vue et son ampleur, il n'a pas d'équivalent parmi les ouvrages qui traitent du traduire. Il propose une critique, c'est-à-dire une fondation, des principes qui relient l'acte de traduire à la littérature. Il commence par l'examen des idées reçues, et l'histoire de la traduction en Europe, continent culturel bâti sur des traductions. L'objet est de fonder la nécessité de tenir l'acte de traduire, et ses résultats, par le fonctionnement des oeuvres littéraires. D'où une critique de l'étude des traductions comme discipline autonome, qui revient à la remettre aux seules questions de sens, en méconnaissant que le langage fait autant et plus qu'il ne dit. La question de la poétique est comment. Seule une théorie d'ensemble du langage et de la littérature peut situer la spécificité du traduire. Car on ne traduit pas seulement des langues, mais des textes. Si on l'oublie, cet oubli se voit. La théorie et la pratique sont inséparables. Les textes traduits vont du sacré à la poésie, au roman, au théâtre et à la philosophie. Ils passent par l'hébreu biblique, le grec ancien, le chinois classique, l'italien, l'anglais, l'allemand et le russe.

Avec plus de 25 000 exemplaires, cet ouvrage est devenu le dictionnaire d'économie de référence le plus diffusé. Cette quatrième édition a été profondément modifiée, la crise commencée en 2007 justifiant un retour critique sur les théories dominantes - notamment en macro-économie - tout en remettant au goût du jour des auteurs comme Marx et Keynes. Certaines entrées d'une importance renouvelée, comme la monnaie et la finance, ont été complètement remaniées. Elles ont été complétées par de nouvelles rubriques ayant trait à la politique monétaire et à la politique budgétaire ainsi qu'à des phénomènes que la crise a remis sur le devant de la scène ou révélés - tels la déflation, la trappe à liquidité, le shadow banking ou le quantitative easing.

The Coursebook and Beyond is a resource for current and future English language teachers. It has been written both for use by the individual teacher and for use in teacher training courses. The book looks at the central role played by the coursebook in most language courses, at some of the curricular ideas behind a coursebook and at the different ways a coursebook may go about implementing these. For the most part, the focus ofThe Coursebook and Beyond is very practical, a focus on how teachers can deal with a prescribed body of materials. The book presents ideas on how to select (or reject) a coursebook, on different ways to work with the materials within a coursebook, and on how to jump outside the text altogether where this helps to better attain the goals of the course and where the coursebook might need augmentation. The overarching aim of The Coursebook and Beyond is to help teachers see course materials as less a fixed route and more a suggested path for helping students achieve the goals of a course.

"Capii che ero arrivata fin là piena di superbia e mi resi conto che - in buona fede certo, con affetto - avevo fatto tutto quel viaggio soprattutto per mostrarle ciò che lei aveva perso e ciò che io avevo vinto. Lei naturalmente se ne era accorta fin dal momento in cui le ero comparsa davanti e ora stava reagendo spiegandomi di fatto che non avevo vinto niente, che al mondo non c'era alcunché da vincere, che la sua vita era piena di avventure diverse e scriteriate proprio quanto la mia, e che il tempo semplicemente scivolava via senza alcun senso, ed era bello solo vedersi ogni tanto per sentire il suono folle del cervello dell'una echeggiare dentro il suono folle del cervello dell'altra". Ecco "Storia del nuovo cognome", secondo romanzo del ciclo de "L'amica geniale". Ritroverete subito Lila ed Elena, il loro rapporto di amore e odio, l'intreccio inestricabile di dipendenza e volontà di autoaffermazione.

«Diavoleide (...) è un racconto scritto in modo furioso, pullula di verbi di moto, di ripetizioni martellanti, di dialoghi rapidi (...) So bene che è facile parlare con il senno di poi — di lì a tre anni, nel 1928, Bulgakov avrebbe iniziato a elaborare uno dei più grandi romanzi del ’900 e di sempre: tuttavia, non riesco a non pensare che Mutandoner sia una versione primitiva di Voland, che le sue gesta racchiudano una prima idea delle peripezie di Azazel, Behemot e gli altri, che la sala con il colonnato in cui Korotkov (un Berlioz ante litteram?) incontra Jan Sobesskij sia un’anteprima della magnifica sala dove si svolge il Gran Ballo di Satana e che la trafila di segretarie che popolano Diavoleide siano il laboratorio dove Bulgakov perfezionò i personaggi femminili del romanzo che non sono Margherita. Forse è proprio con Diavoleide che il “seme del diavolo” si impossessa definitivamente di Bulgakov: è da qui, da questo piccolo libro, allora, che bisogna partire per entrare nel mondo allucinato e grottesco di uno dei massimi scrittori del XX secolo.»

Originally published in 1999, America's Space Sentinels won the American Astronautical Society's prestigious Eugene Emme Astronautical Literature Award and quickly established itself as the definitive book for understanding a crucial component of our national defense capabilities. It focused on the emergence and evolution of the Air Force's Defense Support Program (DSP) satellite system, which came on line in 1970 and continued to perform at a high level through the turn of this century and beyond. For this new edition, Jeffrey Richelson covers significant developments during the last dozen years relating to the deployment of these satellites, especially the struggles to develop and launch the follow-on Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), beginning in the late 1990s and continuing up to the present. The result is a book that remains the first and best source of information regarding these vital programs. As Richelson notes, SBIRS, like its aging but still functioning predecessor, has been designed primarily to provide instant early warning of missile launches from around the globe-particularly China, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan, India, and Iran-through the infra-red sensors carried on each satellite. But the new system—beset by hardware, software, fiscal, and political problems—has only managed to move forward in fits and starts. While it has done so, the DSP system has continued to monitor the skies above the earth; two key ground stations in Australia and Germany have closed; nuclear powers Russia and the United States conferred extensively over the so-called Y2K problem (concerned that a computer malfunction might produce false alarms of a missile attack); and worries over potential launches from nations perceived as hostile to American interests have increased substantially.

The Contented Little Baby Book, based on Gina Ford's personal experience of caring for over 300 babies, was first published in 1999. It quickly established Gina as an influential new authority on baby and childcare issues and has remained one of the bestselling parenting books in the UK for almost 20 years. This completely revised edition of The New Contented Little Baby Book contains the most up-to-date advice available to parents. Using the feedback from numerous readers and website members, Gina has been able to develop and elaborate on the information in her first book, while clearly setting out her philosophy on simple feeding and sleeping routines. By creating routines that match a growing baby's innate natural rhythms, Gina prevents the hunger, overtiredness and colic that can lead to excessive crying. Babies who are settled into Gina's gentle routines are happy and contented because their needs for food and sleep are appropriately met and they should sleep for their longest spell at night from an early age.
