An engineering system contains multiple components that interconnect to perform a specific task. Starting from basic fundamentals through to advanced applications, Sensors and Actuators: Engineering System Instrumentation, Second Edition thoroughly explains the inner workings of an engineering system. The text first provides introductory material-practical procedures and applications in the beginning-and then methodically integrates more advanced techniques, theory, and concepts throughout th...

Anime: A Critical Introduction maps the genres that have thrived within Japanese animation culture, and shows how a wide range of commentators have made sense of anime through discussions of its generic landscape. From the battling robots that define the mecha genre through to Studio Ghibli’s dominant genre-brand of plucky shojo (young girl) characters, this book charts the rise of anime as a globally significant category of animation. It further thinks through the differences between anime...

What is Violent Communication? If "violent" means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate-judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's "good/bad" or what's "right/wrong" with people-could indeed be called "violent communication." What is Nonviolent Communication?...

La diversité des langues, souvent perçue comme une malédiction, en particulier par les utopistes inventeurs de langues universelles, est en fait une richesse, un trésor dont nous n'avons pas fini de faire l'inventaire.»

Loin du jargon rébarbatif des linguistes, Marina Yaguello débusque les idées reçues sur la langue et leur tord le cou avec malice. Chaque forme de langage est considérée comme une source irremplaçable de culture, et l'invraisemblable richesse, la formidable diversi...

Alors que Thésée, roi d’Athènes, est introuvable, un sentiment trouble attache Phèdre, épouse du souverain, à son beau-fils, Hippolyte. Mais, toute à son culte, elle en vient à mépriser son idole : la princesse n’a pas l’amour aimant, et Hippolyte paiera cher sa préférence pour la pure Aricie.

Phèdre est un corps brûlant, que la morale encombre et que les remords ennuient. Car l’incestueuse connaît un amour qui ne souffre pas l’objection. Elle aime en femme et en mère...
