Dans toutes les civilisations, l’Homme a été intrigué par son origine et celle de la vie. L’existence d’autres « civilisations » est une interrogation qui se perd dans la nuit des temps et est fondamentale pour l’humanité. Cet ouvrage, dans la vision pluridisciplinaire de l’Académie, montre les progrès scientifiques qui ont été réalisés grâce principalement à l’exploration spatiale, dans la compréhension de la formation de notre Univers. Ces progrès sont vertigineux et, au fur et à mesure de la lecture de ce livre, on ne peut que s’étonner des capacités de l’homme à comprendre cet Univers et à en restituer la connaissance à tout un chacun. Comment les systèmes planétaires se forment-ils et évoluent-ils ? Quelles sont les caractéristiques des systèmes planétaires extrasolaires ? Quelles sont les conditions physico-chimiques et les processus à l’origine de la vie ? Existe-t-il des traces de vie passée extraterrestre sur des planètes du système solaire ? Quelles signature de vie pouvons-nous détecter dans les systèmes planétaires, les exoplanètes ? Cet ouvrage présente un point de vue actuel et pluridisciplinaire sur ces interrogations.

"Thanks to the gift of a ticket from his uncle, a young Jesuit named Francis Browne traveled on the Titanic during her maiden voyage from Southampton, to Cherbourg to Cork. A keen photographer, Fr Browne took many unique photographs of the ship and her passengers. Invited to remain with the ship as it crossed the Atlantic, Fr Browne was saved from possible disaster by a telegram from his Jesuit superior ordering him to "get off that ship". When the unthinkable happened and the Titanic sank, Fr Browne's photographs appeared on the front pages of newspapers all around the world. For many years the photographs of Fr Browne were forgotten until 1985 when Fr Eddie O'Donnell happened across an old tin trunk in the Jesuit archives and re-discovered 42,000 photographs, including the Titanic collection. The book includes many extracts from Fr Browne's personal Titanic album."--Amazon.com.

Celebrity Cultures in Canada is an interdisciplinary collection that explores celebrity phenomena and the ways they have operated and developed in Canada over the last two centuries. The chapters address a variety of cultural venues-politics, sports, film, and literature-and examine the political, cultural, material, and affective conditions that shaped celebrity in Canada and its uses both at home and abroad. The scope of the book enables the authors to highlight the trends that characterize Canadian celebrity-such as transnationality and bureaucracy-and explore the regional, linguistic, administrative, and indigenous cultures and institutions that distinguish fame in Canada from fame elsewhere. In historicizing and theorizing Canada's complicated cultures of celebrity, Celebrity Cultures in Canada rejects the argument that nations are irrelevant in today's global celebrityscapes or that Canada lacks a credible or adequate system for producing, distributing, and consuming celebrity. Nation and national identities continue to matter-to celebrities, to fans, and to institutions and industries that manage and profit from celebrity systems-and Canada, this collection argues, has a vibrant, powerful, and often complicated and controversial relationship to fame.
