In becoming ""a useful man"" on the maritime stage, Matthew Fontaine Maury focused light on the ills of a clique-ridden Navy, charted sea lanes and bested Great Britain's admiralty in securing the fastest, safest routes to India and Australia. He helped bind the Old and New worlds with the laying of the transatlantic cable, forcefully advocated Southern rights in a troubled union, and preached Manifest Destiny from the Arctic to Cape Horn. Late in life, he revolutionized warfare in perfecting electronically detonated mines. Maury's eagerness to go to the public in person and in print on the qu

The works of Jean de La Fontaine have invited an extraordinary variety of readings in the three centuries since their composition. By engaging selected fables and tales with contemporary notions of intertextuality, reader reception theory, and grammatology, Figures of the Text raises questions about what "reading La Fontaine" meant in the 17th century, and what it means today. The study integrates a theory of reading and a theory of textual production by drawing attention to those aspects of the text that figure writing and reading, for instance: scenes of reading; other modes of writin

La confrontation des données recueillies à partir de sources documentaires aussi différentes que des archives comptables et les vestiges archéologiques d’un système minier, constitue la clef de voûte de cet ouvrage consacré aux Documents d’Archéologie Française mines d’argent du duc de Lorraine dans le Val de Lièpvre entre 1512 et 1628 (Haut-Rhin). Cette démarche originale nous conduit, à travers le dédale d’un réseau complexe de galeries et de puits, vers la découverte non seulement d’une organisation spatiale rationnelle accompagnée de techniques de construction et d’exploitation spécifiques, mais également des conditions économiques et politiques ayant favorisé son développement. Alliant ainsi histoire et archéologie, cette recherche représente pour la connaissance des mines et de ses techniques, un document d’une grande richesse d’informations à l’usage aussi bien des spécialistes que des néophytes. The juxtaposition of data from sources as widely differing as account-books and the archaeological remains of a mining System is the keystone of this work devoted to the bistory of the Duke of Lorraine’s silver mines in the Lièpvre Valley (Haut-Rhin) between 1512 and 1628. This original approach takes us through a labyrinth of shafts and galleries towards the discovery both of a rational spatial organization, using spécifie building and extraction techniques, and of the economic and political conditions which encouraged its development. This study, at the crossroads of bistory and archaeology, constituiez a precious source of informations both for specialists and for newcomers to the bistory of mining and its techniques.

"Wartime Kiss is a personal meditation on the haunting power of American photographs and films from World War II and the later 1940s. Starting with a powerful reinterpretation of one of the most famous photos of all time, Alfred Eisenstaedt's image of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day, Alexander Nemerov goes on to examine an idiosyncratic collection of mostly obscure or unknown images and movie episodes--from a photo of Jimmy Stewart and Olivia de Havilland lying on a picnic blanket in the Santa Barbara hills to scenes from such films as Twelve O'Clock High and Hold Back the Dawn. Erotically charged and bearing traces of trauma even when they seem far removed from the war, these photos and scenes seem to hold out the promise of a palpable and emotional connection to those years. Through a series of fascinating stories, Nemerov reveals the surprising background of these bits of film and discovers unexpected connections between the war and Hollywood, from an obsession with aviation to Anne Frank's love of the movies. Beautifully written and illustrated, Wartime Kiss vividly evokes a world in which Margaret Bourke-White could follow a heroic assignment photographing a B-17 bombing mission over Tunis with a job in Hollywood documenting the filming of a war movie. Ultimately this is a book about history as a sensuous experience, a work as mysterious, indescribable, and affecting as a novel by W. G. Sebald"--
