Briques élémentaires des entiers, les nombres premiers irriguent tous les domaines des mathématiques. Mais qui les a inventés ? Quel est le plus grand nombre premier connu ? Un ordre caché gouverne-t-il leur distribution ? Et comment se répartissent-ils parmi les entiers (une question à 1 million de dollars) ? Pour percer ces mystères, les mathématiciens leur ont voué une guerre acharnée, quand ils ne se sont as affrontés par travaux interposés. L'enjeu est aussi économie - saviez-vous que les nombres premiers s'achètent ? -, écologique - les calculs de primalité consomment une énergie colossale - et militaire - l'algorithme de cryptographie RSA à base de nombres premiers a été un temps interdit d'exportation par la NSA, l'Agence nationale de sécurité américaine. De coups tordus en batailles rangées, voici le récit de cette passionnante guerre souterraine, de l'Antiquité grecque jusqu'aux récentes contributions de Terence Tao, en passant par les travaux de Mersenne, Fermat, Euler, Gauss et par l'hypothèse de Riemann, "graal" des mathématiques.

"Recent evidence suggests that macroeconomic outcomes are inferior in countries operating under presidential regimes compared with those with parliaments, with lower levels of economic growth, higher rates of inflation, and higher levels of income inequality in countries with presidential governments. Despite this, more heads of state look to consolidate and build their executive power. This book considers why presidential regimes, in particular, are so bad for the economy. Throughout the book, the authors comprehensively and simultaneously consider the impact of legal, political and economic institutions in the mechanisms. It is first demonstrated that presidential countries have (on average) inferior outcomes to parliamentary states with respect to these institutions, and moreover, with respect to healthcare and human development indicators. Subsequently, the book explores the impact of constitutional choice (parliamentary versus presidential) on these institutions, and both on macroeconomic outcomes. It is argued that having a presidential regime causes weaker institutions, but that quality institutions can mitigate some of the negative impacts from such regimes. This book marks a significant contribution to the literature on political economics, constitutional political economy, macroeconomics and forms of government"--

Tariq Ali s'attaque dans ce livre à l'image, toujours célébrée, de Churchill. Dans sa longue carrière de journaliste, d'aventurier, d'homme d'État et d'historien, l'impérialisme et l'anticommunisme constituent le fil directeur, avec des conséquences ravageuses. Jeune homme, Churchill participe aux batailles en Afrique du Sud, au Soudan et en Inde, qui visent à maintenir l'ordre impérial. À la tête de la marine lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, il est responsable d'une série d'erreurs catastrophiques conduisant à des morts par milliers. Ses efforts pour écraser les nationalistes irlandais sont autant de plaies qui ne sont toujours pas cicatrisées. Endossant le rôle de défenseur de son pays pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, la période la plus vénérée de sa carrière, il n'a pas hésité à sacrifier des populations : Tariq Ali évoque l'attaque brutale contre la résistance grecque, la famine au Bengale qui a coûté la vie à plus de 3 millions d'Indiens, l'assaut aérien contre les civils à Dresde et Hambourg, et son insistance sur l'utilisation d'armes nucléaires au Japon. Comme leader une fois la paix revenue, alors même que l'Empire s'écroulait, Churchill n'a jamais renoncé à sa philosophie impériale empreinte de racisme et il est l'un des architectes du monde dans lequel nous vivons aujourd'hui. Son bilan est terrible, amplement documenté dans l'acte d'accusation de Tariq Ali qui déroule en contrechamps le récit d'un demi-siècle de résistance et de luttes pour l'émancipation.

“Tina Burrett’s book is an excellent addition to the comparative literature on political leadership. It will be extremely valuable to scholars of UK and Japanese politics, helping us to understand the elasticity and unpredictability of the contemporary premiership in both countries. Burrett impressively demonstrates the often-surprising similarities across the two countries, explaining how the revolving door premiership, associated with Japan, has now spread to the UK.” -- Mark Bennister, University of Lincoln, New Zealand. "This book deftly explores what it takes to be an effective leader in Japan and the UK. A must read for politicians as well as academics and students of politics." --Kono Taro, Minister for Digital Affairs This book analyses prime ministerial leadership in Britain and Japan since 1980. Exploring the interplay between personal skill, institutional resources and situational context in explaining the varying power and agency of different British and Japanese leaders, it asks whether the skills, strategies and circumstances needed for effective leadership are converging across liberal democracies. Comparing Britain and Japan reveals leadership trends that might otherwise go unobserved. The book addresses questions important to aspiring politicians as well as scholars, including: What accounts for the short tenure of most Japanese prime ministers? Does comparison with Japan explain the rapid turnover in British prime ministers since 2016? How is the influence of party factions on prime ministerial power evolving in Japan? Are British political parties more factional than commonly acknowledged? And how do changes in media technology affect leadership opportunities and constraints? The book draws on the author’s experience as a political researcher in both the British and Japanese parliaments and on interviews with over 40 politicians and political journalists working in both countries. Tina Burrett is Associate Professor of Political Science at Sophia University, Japan. She is the co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Trauma in East Asia (2023), and Press Freedom in Contemporary Asia (2019) and author of Television and Presidential Power in Putin’s Russia (2011). She has worked in the British, Canadian and Japanese parliaments.

"Imagining Musical Pasts considers the ways early twentieth-century musicologists Vernon Lee, Rosa Newmarch, and Edward Prime-Stevenson approached gender and sexuality in their scholarly and creative work. This book explores the place of musicology as literature, as well as the role of gossip and speculation in constructing queer music histories"--

The classic book that shares the enjoyment of mathematics with readers of all skill levelsWhat is so special about the number 30? Do the prime numbers go on forever? Are there more whole numbers than even numbers? The Enjoyment of Math explores these and other captivating problems and puzzles, introducing readers to some of the most fundamental ideas in mathematics. Written by two eminent mathematicians and requiring only a background in plane geometry and elementary algebra, this delightful book covers topics such as the theory of sets, the four-color problem, regular polyhedrons, Euler’s proof of the infinitude of prime numbers, and curves of constant breadth. Along the way, it discusses the history behind the problems, carefully explaining how each has arisen and, in some cases, how to resolve it. With an incisive foreword by Alex Kontorovich, this Princeton Science Library edition shares the enjoyment of math with a new generation of readers.
