Kashin-Beck disease is probably one of the most neglected diseases. It occurs in only a very limited part of the world, in a crescent shape area situated from South East Siberia to North West China. It affects mainly the rural population of these remote regions and more specifically the children. They are suffering from a lot of joint pain and lose their mobility. They stop to grow properly and they became severely handicapped. Since more than 15 years, an international team together with his partner, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention of Tibet Autonomous Region, are studying this disease with, sometimes, very limited means but always in a marvellous environment. Their daily workmates are the lovely children, the yaks and other animals of the Himalaya region as well as the unique variety of flowers and plants, under the beautiful shadow of some of the highest peaks of the world. Their unique multidisciplinary approach of the complex issue of the Kashin-Beck disease is done with a constant worry of a better knowledge of the environment and its population. Through a lot of beautiful pictures and some more scientific data, the authors, with an immoderate enthusiasm, will drive you along the valleys of the high Tibetan plateau and will accompany you for a visit from one village to another to meet these patients and understand the difficulties of their daily life.

Les peintures découvertes lors de la fouille de cette villa du Limousin constituent dans le cadre de l’architecture résidentielle de la Gaule romaine, un unicum. Les plus intéressantes concernent la commémoration d’un spectacle donné à l’amphithéâtre (figures de gladiateurs et de venatores, représentation du public et de la pompa qui se déroule à l’ouverture du munus) et livrent le nom de l’évergère, Romulus, propriétaire de la villa. Leur étude est complétée par une histoire de l’habitation principale à travers les transformations successives du plan et du décor. Cette publication fournit un document exceptionnel pour l’illustration de la vie et des comportements des élites locales gallo-romaines au IIe s. de notre ère. The paintings discovered during excavation of this villa in the Limousin constitue a unicum in the context of the residential architecture of Roman Gaul. The most interesting of them commemorate a performance in the amphitheatre (figures of gladiators and venatores, scenes showing the spectators and the pompa witch opens the minus) and give the name of the benefactor, Romulus, owner of the villa, whose munificence has provided the performance. The study is completed by a history of the main dwelling-house through the successive transformations of this ground-plan and décor. This publication provides an exceptionally valuable illustration of the life and behavior of local Gallo-Roman notables during the IInd century AD
