Abstract

As elected coroners came to be replaced by medical examiners with scientific training, the American public became fascinated with their work. From the grisly investigations showcased on highly rated television shows like C.S.I. to the bestselling mysteries that revolve around forensic science, medical examiners have never been so visible-or compelling. They, and they alone, solve the riddle of suspicious death and the existential questions that come with it. Why did someone die? Could it have been prevented? Should someone be held accountable? What are the implications of ruling a death a suicide, a homicide, or an accident? Can medical examiners unmask the perfect crime? Postmortem goes deep inside the world of medical examiners to uncover the intricate web of pathological, social, legal, and moral issues in which they operate. Stefan Timmermans spent years in a medical examiner's office, following cases, interviewing examiners, and watching autopsies. While he relates fascinating cases here, he is also more broadly interested in the cultural authority and responsibilities that come with being a medical examiner. Although these professionals attempt to remain objective, medical examiners are nonetheless responsible for evaluating subtle human intentions. Consequently, they may end-or start-criminal investigations, issue public health alerts, and even cause financial gain or harm to survivors. How medical examiners speak to the living on behalf of the dead, is Timmermans's subject, revealed here in the day-to-day lives of the examiners themselves.

Abstract

Il n'y a pas de bosse des maths. Mais alors comment apprend-on à utiliser les nombres, à réaliser les opérations arithmétiques, etc. ? Quels raisonnements acquiert-on, à quel moment, de quelles manières ? Pourquoi se trompe-t-on ? Les savoirs et les savoir-faire mathématiques chez l'enfant comme chez l'adulte font depuis une vingtaine d'années l'objet d'une attention particulière en psychologie cognitive et en neuropsychologie. Des recherches permettent de mieux comprendre aujourd'hui comment fonctionne l'apprentissage des nombres. En s'appuyant sur les résultats les plus récents et en expliquant simplement les expériences menées auprès des enfants, cet ouvrage nous fait découvrir les mécanismes que nous mettons tous en oeuvre lorsque nous tentons de résoudre un problème mathématique. Ces connaissances sont une invitation à une meilleure pédagogie du nombre.
