Landscape is the matter of everyone who lives on a territory, share and shape it. Composed of living elements, it is dynamic and brings together many disciplines. Landscapes tend to trivialisation and standardisation which makes of their conservation an important challenge for our territories. Their current shapes are the result of combined influence of natural phenomena and human intervention across time, without necessarily a conscious aesthetic impulse. The objectives of this research are to understand what are those evolved cultural landscapes in the first place and then to see how it is possible to manage landscapes whose exceptional interest lies in the combination of their heritage and their evolutionary aspect.
To accomplish these objectives, the research is based on a starting point offered by UNESCO. It established characteristics and questions about their management. Also, that led to the creation of a typology and a listing of evolved cultural landscape registered on the World Heritage List. This work basis oriented research towards the establishment of a case study. As a qualitative study, it gives detailed information about the heritage and evolutionary characteristics of landscapes in Europe and has deconstructed management procedures implemented by managers.
It quickly became clear that there is not one single model to manage such landscapes. The analysis and comparison of case studies, combined with personal reflections and UNESCO’s documentation, led to the proposal of recommendations to move towards integrated and sustainable management for evolved cultural landscapes. They are also every day landscapes, unclassified, ordinary or degraded as used in the European Landscape Convention. Le paysage concerne tout individu qui habite l’espace, le partage et le façonne à son échelle. Constitué d’éléments vivants, il est dynamique et croise de nombreuses disciplines. Face à une tendance à la banalisation des paysages et à leur uniformisation, le maintien des paysages culturels évolutifs représente un élément clef pour nos territoires. Leurs formes actuelles résultent de l’influence conjuguée de phénomènes naturels et de l’intervention humaine à travers le temps, sans qu’il y ait eu nécessairement une motivation esthétique consciente. Les objectifs de cette recherche sont, dans un premier temps, de comprendre quels sont ces paysages culturels évolutifs et dans un second temps, voir comment il est possible de gérer des paysages dont l’intérêt exceptionnel réside dans la combinaison de leurs caractères patrimoniaux et évolutifs.
Pour mener à bien ces objectifs, la recherche se base sur un point de départ proposé par l’UNESCO. Celui-ci a permis d’affirmer leurs caractéristiques et une ébauche de questionnements quant à leur gestion. Également, il a amené à la construction d’une typologie et à un listing des paysages culturels évolutifs inscrits sur la liste UNESCO. Cette base de travail a orienté la recherche vers l’établissement d’une étude de cas. Qualitative, celle-ci étudie en détail les caractéristiques patrimoniales et évolutives de paysages en Europe et a déconstruit les modalités de gestion mises en place par les gestionnaires.
Il est rapidement apparu qu’il n’existe pas de modèle unique pour la gestion de tels paysages. L’analyse et la comparaison des cas d’étude, combinées à des réflexions personnelles et à une documentation UNESCO ont amené à la proposition de recommandations pour tendre vers une gestion intégrée et durable des paysages culturels évolutifs. Enfin, ils ne sont pas seulement des paysages exceptionnels et universels. Ils sont également des paysages du quotidien, non-classés, ordinaires ou dégradés comme repris au sein de la convention européenne du paysage.

What role should racial difference play in the American workplace? As a nation, we rely on civil rights law to address this question, and the monumental Civil Rights Act of 1964 seemingly answered it: race must not be a factor in workplace decisions. In After Civil Rights, John Skrentny contends that after decades of mass immigration, many employers, Democratic and Republican political leaders, and advocates have adopted a new strategy to manage race and work. Race is now relevant not only in negative cases of discrimination, but in more positive ways as well. In today's workplace, employers routinely practice "racial realism," where they view race as real--as a job qualification. Many believe employee racial differences, and sometimes immigrant status, correspond to unique abilities or evoke desirable reactions from clients or citizens. They also see racial diversity as a way to increase workplace dynamism. The problem is that when employers see race as useful for organizational effectiveness, they are often in violation of civil rights law. After Civil Rights examines this emerging strategy in a wide range of employment situations, including the low-skilled sector, professional and white-collar jobs, and entertainment and media. In this important book, Skrentny urges us to acknowledge the racial realism already occurring, and lays out a series of reforms that, if enacted, would bring the law and lived experience more in line, yet still remain respectful of the need to protect the civil rights of all workers.

Particle or Wave is the first popular-level book to explain the origins and development of modern physical concepts about matter and the controversies surrounding them. The dichotomy between particle and wave reflects a dispute--whether the universe's most elementary building blocks are discrete or continuous in nature--originating in antiquity when philosophers first speculated about the makeup of the physical world. Charis Anastopoulos examines two of the earliest known theories about matter--the atomic theory, which attributed all physical phenomena to atoms and their motion in the void, and the theory of the elements, which described matter as consisting of the substances earth, air, fire, and water. He then leads readers up through the ages to the very frontiers of modern physics to reveal how these seemingly contradictory ideas still lie at the heart of today's continuing debates. Anastopoulos explores the revolutionary contributions of thinkers like Nicolas Copernicus, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. He shows how Einstein's ideas about relativity unify opposing concepts by identifying matter with energy, and how quantum mechanics goes even further by postulating the coexistence of the particle and the wave descriptions. Anastopoulos surveys the latest advances in physics on the fundamental structure of matter, including the theories of quantum fields and elementary particles, and new cutting-edge ideas about the unification of all forces. This book reveals how the apparent contradictions of particle and wave reflect very different ways of understanding the physical world, and how they are pushing modern science to the threshold of new discoveries.

Avihu Zakai analyzes Jonathan Edwards's redemptive mode of historical thought in the context of the Enlightenment. As theologian and philosopher, Edwards has long been a towering figure in American intellectual history. Nevertheless, and despite Edwards's intense engagement with the nature of time and the meaning of history, there has been no serious attempt to explore his philosophy of history. Offering the first such exploration, Zakai considers Edwards's historical thought as a reaction, in part, to the varieties of Enlightenment historical narratives and their growing disregard for theistic considerations. Zakai analyzes the ideological origins of Edwards's insistence that the process of history depends solely on God's redemptive activity in time as manifested in a series of revivals throughout history, reading this doctrine as an answer to the threat posed to the Christian theological teleology of history by the early modern emergence of a secular conception of history and the modern legitimation of historical time. In response to the Enlightenment refashioning of secular, historical time and its growing emphasis on human agency, Edwards strove to re-establish God's preeminence within the order of time. Against the de-Christianization of history and removal of divine power from the historical process, he sought to re-enthrone God as the author and lord of history--and thus to re-enchant the historical world. Placing Edwards's historical thought in its broadest context, this book will be welcomed by those who study early modern history, American history, or religious culture and experience in America.
