Download or read book The Politics of Transport in Twentieth century France written by Joseph Jones and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1984 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few aspects of economic development have had such a widespread or profound impact on the reshaping of contemporary France as transportation. As a result, transport policy has brought many of the major social forces into conflict. Monopolistic railway companies, closely aligned with the banks, combated the defenders of the regions and small towns. The fiercely independent truckers and barge-haulers, proponents of the small family firm, collided with the forces of the state. Apostles of the transatlantic gospel of free enterprise and technical progress clashed with supporters of a planned, socialist society.
Download or read book The Modernization of Rural France written by Roger Price and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1983, is a major contribution to our understanding of how and why French rural peasant society became modernised by radical changes in the communications system – in particular, the coming of the railways. The author argues that complex changes in the transport systems, and their effects on agricultural market structures, finally brought traditional French rural civilisation to an end. With the extension of commercialisation, and the widening of horizons, new economic and social structures – and changed attitudes – rapidly came into being. Writing as an economic historian, the author has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to this study which incorporates economic, sociological, historical and geographical methods and data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating politics, economics, and law, Freedman traces the origin, development, and the role of joint-stock companies in France from the prerevolutionary Old Regime to the reorganization of the corporation under the legislation of 1867.

Download or read book Vocabularies of Public Life written by Robert Wuthnow and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, Vocabularies of Public Life explores the revolution that has taken place in our understanding of contemporary culture and decodes a number of the symbols which now dominate public life. Wuthnow divides the essays collected here into three distinct ‘vocabularies.’ Part I examines the ways in which religious and scientific languages function as vocabularies of conviction in public life, Part II focuses on music and art as vocabularies of expression, and Part III considers law, ideology, and public policy as vocabularies of persuasion. The contributors discuss such diverse subjects as American spiritualism, the syntax of modern dance and the social contexts of number one songs. What unifies the book is the common concern with the concrete, everyday manifestations of culture and the importance of understanding its basic structure. This book will be of interest to specialists and scholars of various disciplines such as linguistics, literature, media studies, popular culture, and sociology.
Download or read book N phrotoxicity Interaction of Drugs with Membranes Systems written by Jean-Paul Fillastre and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 1982 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nephrotoxicity : Otoxicity of Drugs. Ce livre rassemble les textes des communications présentées au symposium de Rouen (mai 1981) ayant pour thème l'étude de la néphrotoxicité des antibiotiques. La majeure partie de l'ouvrage est réservée à la néphrotoxicité des aminoglycosides. Sont détaillés les aspects morphologiques, les résultats d'études autoradiographiques, d'études de fractionnement cellulaires permettant l'analyse du comportement des mitochondries ou des lysosomes. Une large part est réservée aux variations de multiples enzymes urinaires excrétées sous l'action des médicaments. Le rôle de nombreux facteurs est largement discuté : influence des doses injectées, du rythme d'administration, de la durée du traitement, de l'âge, de l'existence d'une néphropathie antérieure. À la lecture des différentes études présentées, le clinicien pourra juger des différences de potentiel néphrotique des antibiotiques qui lui sont proposés pour le traitement des infections sévères. La place consacrée à l'otoxicité des aminoglycosides est plus restreinte mais les études de variations de potentiels pour détecter les signes d'otoxicité, les études de pharmacocinétique des aminogly¬cosides sont des contributions fort intéressantes et très originales.
Download or read book Searching for a path out of distance fares written by Norman Kellermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work reconstructs the history of fare policy in the European passenger railway industry and integrates behavioural pricing theory into an agent-based simulation model for railway revenue management. The model is employed to conduct artificial experiments on fare innovations. It represents supply and demand on a transport market including car traffic and is calibrated with empirical data of an incumbent European railway. The model uses a combination of marketing concepts, dynamics in time and social interaction of consumers to analyse revenue effects of different pricing options. This book provides insights for readers interested in the commercial aspects of transportation history. Furthermore, it is directed at researchers interested in pricing theory and the simulation method. It is also a rich source of information for practitioners in the revenue management branches of transport enterprises.
