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.

This book is a compelling account of China’s response to the increasing numbers of ‘foreigners’ in its midst, revealing a contradictory picture of welcoming civility, security anxiety and policy confusion. Over the last forty years, China’s position within the global migration order has been undergoing a remarkable shift. From being a nation most notable for the numbers of its emigrants, China has increasingly become a destination for immigrants from all points of the globe. What attracts international migrants to China and how are they received once they arrive? This timely volume explores this question in depth. Focusing on such diverse migrant communities as African traders in Guangzhou, Japanese call center workers in Dalian, migrant restaurateurs in Shanghai, marriage migrants on the Vietnamese borderlands, South Korean parents in Beijing, Europeans in Xiamen and Western professionals in Hong Kong, as well as the booming expansion of British and North American English language teachers across the nation, the accounts offered here reveal in intimate detail the motivations, experiences, and aspirations of the diversity of international migrants in China. .

"This book draws attention to the various factors that characterise migrant flows and mobilities, calling into question familiar concepts such as push and pull, migration as a life project and socio-cultural integration. It highlights processes such as flexible migrant routes, temporary and return migration, mental aspects of migration processes and transnationalism. Organised around the themes of shaping trajectories, frictions in space, and the migrant mental framework, - it brings together work from scholars from Europe and beyond. The book suggests a different understanding of migration and mobility as relational, non-linear, and fluid social processes, characterised by instability in migrant life trajectories. Emphasising the flexibility of migrants and migration and advocating the importance of emotionally charged, individual perceptions as central to migrant decision-making, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, politics and geography with interests in migration and diaspora studies. The contributions collected here put emphasis the social and mental processes that underpin the migratory process, which can be seen as the "soft-side" of migration. Too often, this side is neglected when the governance of migration is discussed. The novel ideas expressed here also help to overcome the mechanistic view of migration as a 'push-pull' event"--

This book examines rural-urban migration policies in China, and considers how Chinese workers cope with migration events in the context of these policies. It explores the contribution of migrant workers to the Chinese economy, the impact of changes within the ‘hukou’ system (household registration) and the impact of recent migration policies promoting rural-urban migration and targeting key events during migrant workers’ migration trajectories - job-seeking, wage exploitation, work injuries and illness - namely the corresponding ‘Skills Training Program for Migrant Workers’, the ‘Circular on Managing Wage Payment to Migrant Workers’, the ‘Circular on Migrant Workers Participating in Work-Related Injury Insurance’, and the ‘New Rural Medical Cooperative Scheme’ (Health Insurance). Through in-depth interviews, it examines how when facing such challenges, migrant workers choose to either make a claim under existing policies, or use other coping strategies. The book notably proposes a typology of “coping” which includes a variety of administrative coping, political coping and social coping, and considers how workers in China harness the power of civil groups and social networks.
