Jules Payot (1859-1940) - Education de la Volonté, Morale Laïque Et Solidarité
Jules Payot (1859-1940) est aujourd'hui un pédagogue oublié alors qu'il fut, entre 1895 et 1914 pour le moins, le maître à penser de plusieurs générations d'enseignants. Boursier conquérant, enseignant de philosophie, il entre dans l'administration comme inspecteur d'académie puis comme recteur. Philosophe de la République radicale, il milite pour une éducation renouvelée qui, au-delà des savoirs, doit oeuvrer à la formation d'une volonté raisonnable. Auteur d'ouvrages de philosophie morale et de manuels à succès à destination des éducateurs, il est aussi le défenseur d'une laïcité militante, publiant en 1907 La Morale à l'école, manuel du primaire qui déclenche de nombreuses tensions. Ce partisan des méthodes actives lutte pour la rénovation des pratiques pédagogiques. Profondément marqué par l'horreur de la Première Guerre mondiale, il se replie, après sa retraite en 1922, dans un culte passéiste de sa petite patrie savoyarde, doutant de la réforme des structures éducatives et de l'aptitude du régime à assurer sa modernisation. L'ouvrage s'articule sur les grandes étapes de la vie professionnelle de Jules Payot mais, plus qu'une biographie classique, il présente un itinéraire intellectuel, intégrant de larges extraits de ses oeuvres.

Erasmus, Contarini, and the Religious Republic of Letters
Though the paradigm of modernist progression has been challenged on many fronts, Erasmus and other sixteenth-century figures are still commonly viewed as people who led the transition from a religious Middle Ages to a more godless modern era. Erasmus, Contarini and the Religious Republic of Letters, published in 2005, complicates this transition by analysing a unique realm of spiritualised scholarship that cannot fit easily into any conventional intellectual chronology. By analysing the lives, work, and correspondence of Erasmus, Thomas More, Margaret More Roper, Reginald Pole, Gasparo Contarini, and Vittoria Colonna, this book demonstrates how these Catholic men and women of letters created a distinctive kind of religious community rooted in friendship and spiritualised scholarship. By spanning the too frequently respected gap between humanist reformers in northern and southern Europe, the book uncovers a widespread, if previously less visible, network that exhibited concerns we still grapple with today.

Condensation Particle Counting Technology and Its Applications
Condensation Particle Counting Technology and its Applications introduces the principles, key components, calibration methods and applications of condensation particle counting systems.This book delves into the adverse effects of fine particles on human health, along with the existing detection technologies for these particles. It discusses the theories and methods of optical measurement for fine particles and elaborates on the applicable conditions for each light scattering theory, providing a theoretical foundation for detecting particle-scattered light. The book concludes with an overview of the challenges posed by ongoing climate change and future research prospects in Condensation Particle Counting (CPC).The book is intended for industry professionals and environmental researchers specializing in particle and aerosol measurement, detection methods, and technology.

Detonation of Condensed Explosives
This work marks a stage in the evolution of a scientific and technical field which has been developed by the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA) over several decades. Many members of the staff of the CEA have won re nown in this field, and their work has brought it to the high degree of excel lence for which it is internationally recognized today. These scientists had to consider every aspect of the field, as it concerned: modeling, which has recourse to fluid thermodynamics, molecular phys ics, and chemistry; numerical evaluation, which relies on mathematical analysis and data processing; and experiments in the firing area, which require specific stress generators and instrumentation. Whilst this book is a testament to the activity and success of staff of the CEA, it also reviews a number ofthe advances made in the discipline. How ever, it is not intended to be an exhaustive account of those advances; it is assumed that the reader can, if desired, consult the standard monographs, and more recent, more specialized works (notably W.C. Davis and W. Fickett, and C.L. Mader). The history of the discipline is interesting in itself, and also as an illustra tion of the causes which lead to progress in a coherent body of scientific work. I should like to make some comments on this progress, of which there is a fascinating summary in the introduction, and which will figure largely throughout the work.
