Whether voluntary or coerced, hopeful or desperate, people moved in unprecedented numbers across Russia's vast territory during the twentieth century. Broad Is My Native Land is the first history of late imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia through the lens of migration. Lewis H. Siegelbaum and Leslie Page Moch tell the stories of Russians on the move, capturing the rich variety of their experiences by distinguishing among categories of migrants-settlers, seasonal workers, migrants to the city, career and military migrants, evacuees and refugees, deportees, and itinerants. So vast and diverse was Russian political space that in their journeys, migrants often crossed multiple cultural, linguistic, and administrative borders. By comparing the institutions and experiences of migration across the century and placing Russia in an international context, Siegelbaum and Moch have made a magisterial contribution to both the history of Russia and the study of global migration.The authors draw on three kinds of sources: letters to authorities (typically appeals for assistance); the myriad forms employed in communication about the provision of transportation, food, accommodation, and employment for migrants; and interviews with and memoirs by people who moved or were moved, often under the most harrowing of circumstances. Taken together, these sources reveal the complex relationship between the regimes of state control that sought to regulate internal movement and the tactical repertoires employed by the migrants themselves in their often successful attempts to manipulate, resist, and survive these official directives.

Il est 21 heures, Barbara et Maxime s'écroulent dans le canapé. Ils viennent de coucher le petit dernier. Il leur faut encore s'organiser pour la journée de demain. Maxime quittera la maison à l'aube pour éviter les embouteillages et Barbara suivra pour une présentation du travail d'une année à ses employeurs. Qui s'occupera des enfants ? Les esprits s'échauffent autour du même débat : il faut que l'un d'eux passe à 80% pour prendre soin des enfants et de la maison. Comme nombre de nos contemporains, Barbara et Maxime ressentent de plus en plus le manque de temps pour leur travail, leurs enfants et leur couple. Ils se sentent souvent prisonniers d'un rythme de vie toujours plus soutenu, soumis à des arbitrages permanents entre vie professionnelle, vie familiale et vie personnelle. Issu des recherches en cours sur l'accélération sociale et les rythmes de vie individuels ou collectifs, cet ouvrage milite pour un changement de regard sur les sociétés contemporaines en proposant une approche rythmique de la mobilité et des modes de vie. Cette proposition s'appuie sur l'analyse des comportements spatio-temporels et du rapport au temps chez des couples biactifs qui doivent concilier famille, travail et mobilité quotidienne. Les résultats mettent en perspective les importantes tensions liées à la gestion des temps quotidiens et suggèrent des formes de vulnérabilités temporelles qu'il s'agit de prendre en compte. Ils témoignent aussi des aptitudes développées par les couples pour gérer ces contraintes et des formes de mobilisation des ressources déployées dans la conduite de la vie quotidienne.

Visual processing refers to the ability to perceive three-dimensional images. To accomplish this, our eyes have to be perfectly tuned and work together. Each eye perceives a slightly different image that the brain then has to unite into a single three-dimensional picture. This book explains the motor and sensory steps necessary for forming binocular and stereo vision, discusses tests to assess the different steps and describes disruptions that can occur in the eyes and the brain. Because of the sensitivity of the developing child's eye, the book also addresses the assessment of children's vision. This book will appeal to ophthalmologists, paediatricians, neurologists and other interested readers.
