La photographie a la faculté de révéler à tous des lieux inédits, difficiles d'accès, et de montrer les paysages rares et fragiles qu'ils recèlent. Ce recueil de photographies du milieu souterrain du Geopark mondial Unesco Famenne - Ardenne a été réalisé dans ce but. Les grottes et carrières souterraines sont par définition cachées et souvent inconnues du regard de tout un chacun. Ce patrimoine souterrain si riche et si beau, seuls les spéléologues ont le privilège de l'explorer, l'étudier, le protéger, mais aussi… de le photographier. À ce jour, selon les Atlas du karst wallon publiés par la CWEPSS (Commission Wallonne d’Étude et de Protection des Sites Souterrains), on ne dénombre pas moins de 1.000 sites karstiques (grottes, dolines, résurgences…) au sein du Geopark Famenne - Ardenne. La grande connaissance de ces sites par l’Union Belge de Spéléologie (UBS) permet une gestion des cavités dans un souci de protection et d’éducation.

This book, 'Jean Moulin et le Conseil national de la Résistance,' edited by François Bédarida and Jean-Pierre Azéma, documents the significant historical event of June 9, 1983, at the Sorbonne, commemorating the contribution of Daniel Cordier to the French Resistance during World War II. The volume includes the conference delivered by Cordier, discussions from a subsequent roundtable, and an in-depth study on Jean Moulin and the National Council of the Resistance. It provides insights into the scholarly and public reception of Cordier's work as a historian, reflecting on the broader implications for historical and social sciences. The book targets historians and scholars interested in World War II and French Resistance history.

"La France de 1940 est un pays vaincu, occupé, humilié. Mais c'est aussi, dès cette date, une nation de résistants. Même s'ils ne représentent qu'un infime pourcentage de la société, cette minorité a fait la différence et a permis au pays de figurer dans le camp des vainqueurs en 1945. Jeunes, intellectuels, paysans, citadins, communistes, chrétiens, Français libres à Londres ou maquisards dans le Vercors, cette armée des ombres a inventé la Résistance, qui n'avait encore ni nom ni existence. Au plus près de ce que fut le quotidien de ces hommes et de ces femmes, connus ou inconnus, Fabrice Grenard donne un visage à la Résistance. Il tente de percer le mystère de ce moment de liberté et d'impératif, de ce choix sans retour."--Page 4 of cover.

"Many animals, from birds to insects, build structures using wood, soil, or a range other materials. Suprisingly to most people, a similarly diverse array of animal homes exist underground, in the hiddent world beneath our feet. This is particularly true for ants who excavate large and complex nests in which they shelter, reproduce and generally go about their lives. Despite the existence of this vast underground world, it has remained largely unexplored. Walter Tschinkel, however, has spent his career researching underground ant nests in his home state of Florida (where they are particularly prevalent) and this book is his story of discovery about what he has learned about these nests and they reveal about ant biology and behavior more broadly. Tschinkelstarts the book by describing just how he studies ants nest - an arduous excavation process which involves first filling the nests with plaster, molten metal or wax. But this is a book driven by fascinating questions and the experiments the author has devised to try and answer them. How does nest architecture vary across ant species? How are new nests excavated during colony relocation? Are the ants organized within the nest? Do ants have "architectural plans?" What is the effect of all this nest excavation on soils? And how does the division of labor within the nest work? Ultimately, Tschinkel provides answers to many of these questions, but also acknowledges what mysteries, including why nests evolved in the first place, still remain. In telling this story, Tschinkel introduces readers to the surprising beauty and architectural complexity of underground ant nests and to how scientific research on them is done."--
