Abstract

C'est l'histoire de minerais mal aimés car toxiques, qui perturbent l'extraction de l'argent et finalement se révèlent exploitables, et même de plus en plus marchands. Car, selon Agricola, on en fait une sorte de bleu qui n'est pas à dédaigner. Et s'il y a un endroit où on ne le dédaigne pas, c'est bien la Saxe qui, avec une bonne partie des monts métallifères, a d'excellentes mines capables de fournir non seulement de l'argent, mais aussi ce trublion de cobalt, pour le plus grand bien des finances de l'Électeur. C'est l'histoire de l'heureux mariage du cobalt et du verre. Il en résulte des objets célèbres, honneur des musées qui les abritent, ainsi que de remarquables verrières ornant cathédrales et églises. La Saxe exporte dans toute l'Europe. C'est l'histoire de la décoration des surfaces de céramiques en camaïeu bleu, assiettes et pichets, carreaux et azulejos. Ce saffre gris, qui se mue en bleu, est issu du travail des mineurs Saxons, complété par les soins des Hollandais. Ces mêmes Hollandais, habilement, le distribuent partout, jusqu'en Chine. C'est enfin l'histoire du smalt, cette poudre bleue qui blanchit, et va trouver le marché européen le plus vaste que l'on puisse imaginer : l'azurage des tissus, des papiers, des perruques, des argiles et des sucres. Bref, c'est l'histoire d'une sorte de bleu qui n'est pas à dédaigner.

Abstract

Le rapport à la couleur dépend des périodes historiques et des civilisations. Selon Michel Pastoureau, la couleur serait avant tout une construction culturelle complexe. S’il s’agit tout d’abord d’une sensation, il n’en demeure pas moins que l’apparence offerte au regard et les multiples interactions de la lumière avec la matière définissent le sens général d’une couleur.Si l’on connaît l’essor considérable des travaux autour de la couleur depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, il nous est apparu utile d’enrichir l’état des recherches, en faisant connaître plusieurs travaux et réflexions récents consacrés aux bleus et verts, sujets d’étude inlassable de Sandrine Pagès-Camagna à la mémoire de laquelle cet ouvrage est dédié.Il rassemble une série d’articles inédits sur les bleus et verts autour de leurs utilisations en histoire de l’art, mais aussi dans la nature, des perceptions et des formes d’expression multiples de ces couleurs dites froides, en tant que lumières, représentations, sens iconographique, de l’Antiquité à aujourd’hui.

Abstract

Climate change, extreme weather conditions, the degradation of biodiversity, CO2 and fine-dust pollution in cities demand action. How can architecture make a contribution to achieving a paradigm shift? Can architecture not only be designed to be removable and recyclable, but to be additionally green as well? Can architecture also be an ecological system? What is blue-green architecture? Architects face the demand to fully exploit unused potential and find ways to use plants as tools for design. This is both the case in the development of spaces as well as urban environments, but particularly on buildings themselves. “Green Facades” provides architects with the necessary specialist knowledge to competently deal with the living architecture on the building envelope.

Abstract

Le dictionnaire des mots et expressions du XXe siècle comble une lacune. En s'appuyant sur un vaste corpus de textes du XXe siècle (de la poésie à l'argot, des poèmes et chansons aux romans et articles de presse), ce dictionnaire répertorie des mots et expressions, donne une définition de la teinte exprimée, dégage les contextes d'emplois, les connotations symboliques, les sens figurés sans oublier l'histoire des mots. Le Bleu est le premier d'une série originale consacrée aux divers champs de la couleur et à leurs nuances: bleu et ses dérivés, nuances du bleu et expressions articulées autour de la couleur bleue. Rigoureux mais plaisant, ce dictionnaire s'adresse aux spécialistes les plus divers mais aussi au large public des curieux et des amoureux de la langue française, révélée ici dans son infinie richesse

Abstract

This book presents the mathematics that underpins pricing models for derivative securities, such as options, futures and swaps, in modern financial markets. The idealized continuous-time models built upon the famous Black-Scholes theory require sophisticated mathematical tools drawn from modern stochastic calculus. However, many of the underlying ideas can be explained more simply within a discrete-time framework. This is developed extensively in this substantially revised second edition to motivate the technically more demanding continuous-time theory, which includes a detailed analysis of the Black-Scholes model and its generalizations, American put options, term structure models and consumption-investment problems. The mathematics of martingales and stochastic calculus is developed where it is needed. The new edition adds substantial material from current areas of active research, notably: a new chapter on coherent risk measures, with applications to hedging a complete proof of the first fundamental theorem of asset pricing for general discrete market models the arbitrage interval for incomplete discrete-time markets characterization of complete discrete-time markets, using extended models risk and return and sensitivity analysis for the Black-Scholes model The treatment remains careful and detailed rather than comprehensive, with a clear focus on options. From here the reader can progress to the current research literature and the use of similar methods for more exotic financial instruments. The text should prove useful to graduates with a sound mathematical background, ideally a knowledge of elementary concepts from measure-theoretic probability, who wish to understand the mathematical models on which the bewildering multitude of current financial instruments used in derivative markets and credit institutions is based. The first edition has been used successfully in a wide range of Master's programs in mathematical finance and this new edition should prove even more popular in this expanding market. It should equally be useful to risk managers and practitioners looking to master the mathematical tools needed for modern pricing and hedging techniques. Robert J. Elliott is RBC Financial Group Professor of Finance at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary, having held positions in mathematics at the University of Alberta, Hull, Oxford, Warwick, and Northwestern.

Abstract

Financial economics, and the calculations of time and uncertainty derived from it, are playing an increasingly important role in non-finance areas, such as monetary and environmental economics. In this 2001 book, Professors Le Roy and Werner supply a rigorous yet accessible graduate-level introduction to this subfield of microeconomic theory and general equilibrium theory. Since students often find the link between financial economics and equilibrium theory hard to grasp, they devote less attention to purely financial topics such as calculation of derivatives, while aiming to make the connection explicit and clear in each stage of the exposition. Emphasis is placed on detailed study of two-date models, because almost all of the key ideas in financial economics can be developed in the two-date setting. In addition to rigorous analysis, substantial sections of discussion and examples are included to make the ideas readily understandable.
