This book was released on 2006-10-29T19:00:00-05:00 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, qui réunit les meilleurs spécialistes européens et nord-américains de l'histoire des universités, est le premier à couvrir les transformations des universités de ses débuts, au Moyen Âge, jusqu'à nos jours. Collectivement, ces contributions montrent que l'université a subi, tout au long de son histoire, de nombreuses mutations et transformations qui ont affecté plus ou moins profondément sa structure, ses agents, sa mission, ses systèmes de représentation, son interaction avec la société et ses rapports avec le pouvoir. En somme, loin d'avoir été une «tour d'ivoire» déconnectée de la vie sociale, les universités ont toujours été partie prenante du milieu dans lequel elles se sont implantées.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’histoire des universités permet de mieux comprendre une partie de notre héritage intellectuel et du fonctionnement de nos sociétés, ainsi que la circulation des modèles culturels et des savoirs. Chaque époque a dû résoudre le dilemme renaissant entre préservation du savoir passé et intégration de l’innovation. Aux origines mêmes de l’institution, dès le Moyen Âge, c’est le défi de nouveaux savoirs en même temps que le souci de leur légitimation et de leur utilisation sociale qui ont donné naissance à l’université. À l’époque moderne, elle a dû faire face aux ruptures religieuses, politiques et intellectuels nés.À partir du XIXe siècle enfin, la multiplicité des modèles nationaux, locaux et internationaux attestent de manière persistante que le projet d’un enseignement supérieur distinct de la stricte transmission d’un savoir figé devait évoluer en rythme avec la société.La comparaison des temps et des lieux permettra au lecteur d’amorcer des réflexions sur le présent incertain des enseignements supérieurs grâce au recul critique fourni par le regard historique.

Download or read book L universit et la ville written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La place accordée à la ville dans l'histoire des universités est généralement limitée. Pourtant, l'université est depuis sa naissance au XIIe siècle une institution exclusivement urbaine et contribue à la fabrique de la ville en suscitant des espaces spécifiques. Saisir la nature spatiale et sociale de ces interactions sur la longue durée du XIIIe au XIXe siècle et à l'échelle de l'Europe est l'objectif de cet ouvrage. Au-delà des périodisations classiques, les dix-huit études réunies ici mobilisent trois grilles de lecture : la première interroge le lien entre ville et université lors des périodes de fondation et de refondation ; la seconde analyse les rapports entre le corps universitaire et les sociétés urbaines ; la dernière s'intéresse à la dissémination de l'université dans la ville, bien antérieure à son développement dans les banlieues des grandes villes européennes à la fin du XXe siècle. Les deux figures du quartier et du campus ne résistent guère à l'analyse historique qui décrit la perméabilité des espaces et la difficulté à séparer les mondes de la ville et de l'université.
Download or read book Biochar for Environmental Management written by Dr. Johannes Lehmann and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2009 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Biochar is the carbon-rich product when biomass (such as wood, manure, or crop residues) is heated in a closed container with little or no available air. It can be used to improve agriculture and the environment in several ways, and its stability in soil and superior nutrient-retention properties make it an ideal soil amendment to increase crop yields. In addition to this, biochar sequestration, in combination with sustainable biomass production, can be carbon-negative and therefore used to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with major implications for mitigation of climate change. Biochar production can also be combined with bioenergy production through the use of the gases that are given off in the pyrolysis process.This book is the first to synthesize the expanding research literature on this topic. The book's interdisciplinary approach, which covers engineering, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, economics and policy, is a vital tool at this stage of biochar technology development. This comprehensive overview of current knowledge will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and professionals in a wide range of disciplines"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Regions and Powers written by Barry Buzan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.

Download or read book Social Housing in Europe written by Kathleen Scanlon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All countries aim to improve housing conditions for their citizens but many have been forced by the financial crisis to reduce government expenditure. Social housing is at the crux of this tension. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics want to know how other systems work and are looking for something written in clear English, where there is a depth of understanding of the literature in other languages and direct contributions from country experts across the continent. Social Housing in Europe combines a comparative overview of European social housing written by scholars with in-depth chapters written by international housing experts. The countries covered include Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands and Sweden, with a further chapter devoted to CEE countries other than Hungary. The book provides an up-to-date international comparison of social housing policy and practice. It offers an analysis of how the social housing system currently works in each country, supported by relevant statistics. It identifies European trends in the sector, and opportunities for innovation and improvement. These country-specific chapters are accompanied by topical thematic chapters dealing with subjects such as the role of social housing in urban regeneration, the privatisation of social housing, financing models, and the impact of European Union state aid regulations on the definitions and financing of social housing.
