"New Yorks most valuable citizen" – this honorary title was given to Adolph Lewisohn. When he was born in Hamburg in 1849 as the son of Orthodox Jews and successful merchants, a career as a merchant was put in his cradle. In search of personal freedom he persuaded his strict father in 1867 to let him go to New York. The fact that Lewisohn, as an industrialist in the USA, will generate millions of euros in only twenty years time would have seemed like a fairy tale to the young migrant. With dedication, foresight and flexibility he builds a copper empire. For four decades he then supports countless charitable projects with millions of euros. The Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung (Hamburg Scientific Society) also owes him one of the biggest donations it received when it was founded. This is the first biography of this exceptionally successful businessman, art collector and international philanthropist.

Dans ses dimensions méditerranéennes et européennes, l’ouvrage explore l’histoire industrielle contemporaine par l’analyse de ses principaux acteurs  : les hommes – patrons et ouvriers – ou les usines et entreprises, de l’affaire de famille au grand groupe international, de la mine au haut-fourneau. Quelles que soient leur taille ou longévité, toutes ces histoires et monographies s’inscrivent dans un cadre global  : celui de la transformation de leur environnement économique et industriel tout au long des XIXe et XXIe siècles. Les politiques mises en œuvre au niveau national et européen impactent directement ces entreprises. Elles subissent la désindustrialisation ou en profitent. C’est ainsi que le patrimoine, la mémoire de l’industrie deviennent les nouvelles matières premières des historiens, qui investissent les champs les plus récents de la recherche tels les conflits environnementaux. Ce volume d’études en l’honneur du Professeur Philippe Mioche réunit des spécialistes de l’industrie, de ses impacts et évolutions, ainsi que de sa patrimonialisation, du XIXe  siècle à nos jours.

This 1996 book is about politics in Brazil during the military regime of 1964-85 and the transition to democracy. Unlike most books about contemporary Brazilian politics that focus on promising signs of change, this book seeks to explain remarkable political continuity in the Brazilian political system. It attributes the persistence of traditional politics and the dominance of regionally based, traditional political elites in particular to the manner in which the economic and political strategies of the military, together with the transition to democracy, reinforced the clientelistic, personalistic, and regional basis of state-society relations. The book focuses on the political competition and representation in the state of Minas Gerais.
