“…Que tirent les historiens de leur retour vers des sources d'archives utilisées par leurs prédécesseurs et de l'entrée d'instruments méthodologiques novateurs dans ce champ de la recherche pour lequel on observe un regain d'intérêt ? Que peuvent apporter la peinture, le cinéma ou l'étude de l'imaginaire visuel à la connaissance de l'impact de l'esclavage dans les sociétés depuis plus de trois siècles ? …”

“…By summer, they were involved in what many observers would come to regard as the strike of the decade, both because of the energy and imagination of the union members and because of the nationwide response to their cause. …”

“…Yet the region's cultural and intellectual life remains all but unknown to most foreign observers, which means that literary texts that make it into circulation abroad tend to be received as historical documents rather than aesthetic artefacts. …”

“…The final section, ‘Transformation’, is dedicated to Tony’s desire for public health scientists to propose adaptive and mitigating solutions to the problems they were observing. Each section contains at least one key publication involving Tony. …”

“…One of the challenges is how to measure social cohesion – it can be readily observed and experienced but difficult to quantify. …”

“…The presence of one former member of the Commission deserves special mention: Bruno Simma is now not only a Judge at the International Court of J- tice but also, if I may say so, the “local hero”, having held the wond- ful Chair for International Law at the University of Munich for more than thirty years. …”

“…At the Institute, Eva Richter, Michael Riegner and the editorial staff of this publication series were instrumental in bringing this publication to fr- tion…”

“…In particular, Ticio explores how economy notions interact with a number of functional categories, with the length and type of movements allowed, and with the existence of three internal domains within nominal expressions. She uses these observations to inform her analysis of the structure of arguments and adjuncts in nominal expressions, and of the potential these elements have for extraction. …”

“…Compelling, readable, and interdisciplinary, A Child’s Right to a Healthy Environment provides an abundance of skilled observation, important findings, and keen insights to place children’s well-being in the vanguard of human rights concerns, both in the United States and globally. …”

“…Key aspects of the intricate, fluid and multifarious contemporary setting can always escape the researcher’s necessarily selective observation. The contributors to this book share the view that it is wise, therefore, to take note of other people’s ideas, perceptions and perspectives, to compare notes and reflect critically on them. …”

“…With the discovery of type-II superconductivity by Abrikosov, the prediction of vortex lattices, and their experimental observation, quantized vortices have become a central object of study in superconductivity, superfluidity, and Bose--Einstein condensation. …”

“…However, because of the combinatorial characteristics of form perception, we are also observing the opposite tendency: from single-cell activity to population coding, and from static receptive field structures to system dynamics and integration and, ultimately, a synthetic form of psychophysics of color and form perception. …”

“…Tawfik Ismail and Ooi Kee Beng deserve kudos for compiling these into one volume and for providing elaborate footnoting that presents the reader with an intriguing picture of the Cold War year of 1958. …”

“…Qu'est ce que l'effet de serre ? Le rôle de l'homme sur le climat est-il détectable et comment ? …”

“…Primarily based on sunlight and natural and artificial light sources, optics has been the major companion of spectroscopy since scientific observation began. The invention of the laser in the early sixties has boosted optical spectroscopy through the intrinsic or specific symmetry electronic properties of materials at the multiscale (birefringence, nonlinear and photonic crystals), revealed by the ability to monitor light polarization inside or on the surface of designed objects. …”

“…Propagande, censure et désinformation d'un côté ; devoir de réserve, secret défense et silence dans les rangs de la « grande muette » d'un autre. …”

“…Sound art pieces provide the backdrop for a series of reflections on space, time, and matter. …”

“…Réunis ici, les textes nord-africains de Calet, même sous leur aspect inachevé, sont représentatifs au premier chef de son style, de son humour, de sa faculté aiguë d’observation et, plus encore peut-être, de son inclination, qui sera de plus en plus forte au fil des années, à la notation brève et à l’écriture impressionniste…”

“…Fondé sur l’exploitation d’une importante masse archivistique et documentaire en grande partie inédite et conservée en Libye, il se propose d’analyser les facteurs économiques et politiques de cette évolution et d’en observer les effets sociaux et politiques. La transformation de Tripoli est en effet concomitante de son poids démographique croissant, faisant de la répartition de la population en fonction des catégories sociales et ethniques un des enjeux centraux du pouvoir colonial. …”

“…Enfin, les analyses ont porté sur le sort qu’ont pu réserver à la notion de transcendantal, certaines philosophies considérées comme post-kantiennes : Salomon Maïmon, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel... …”
