Abstract

In its simplest manifestation, the Casimir effect is a quantum force of attraction between two parallel uncharged conducting plates. More generally, it refers to the interaction - which may be either attractive or repulsive - between material bodies due to quantum fluctuations in whatever fields are relevant. It is a local version of the van der Waals force between molecules. Its sweep ranges from perhaps its being the origin of the cosmological constant to its being responsible for the confinement of quarks. This monograph develops the theory of such forces, based primarily on physically tr

Abstract

This book provides the first multidisciplinary and nonpartisan analysis of how the United States should decide on the legal status of cocaine, heroin and marijuana. It draws on data about the experiences of Western European nations with less punitive drug policies as well as new analyses of America's experience with legal cocaine and heroin a century ago, and of America's efforts to regulate gambling, prostitution, alcohol and cigarettes. It offers projections on the likely consequences of a number of different legalization regimes and shows that the choice about how to regulate drugs involves complicated tradeoffs among goals and conflict among social groups. The book presents a sophisticated discussion of how society should deal with the uncertainty about the consequences of legal change. Finally, it explains, in terms of individual attitudes toward risk, why it is so difficult to accomplish substantial reform of drug policy in America.

Abstract

Deux indices sont mis en évidence: les ombres et les reflets qui manifestent la perte et la persistance. Ils constituent des images décaléeset obliques, qui pointent de manière dérivée sur le modèle. Ce livre raconte la métamorphise qui fait passer de l'absence à la présence différée. Ce livre fait dialoguer les images entre elles, les mettant en relation avec des oeuvres du passé et avec des notions théoriques. Ce montage d'images et de textes, inspiré du cinéma et de l'informatique, retrame la temporalité des oeuvres, provoquant l'apparition de formes survivantes. L'oeuvre d'art, aussi contemporaine soit-elle, recèle, comme un trésor enfoui, des images anciennes, oubliées, qui peuvent resurgir. Celles-ci survivent dans des oeuvres qui ne les ont pas invitées, sur lesquelles elles se sont déposées. Infiltrées secrètement dans des processus visuels, elles intensifient les images actuelles.
