Le docteur Théodore Arenson, directeur de recherches de l’accélérateur statique du Centre de Recherches en Physique Fondamentale, fait une découverte étonnante lors de recherches sur la reproduction de mini trous noirs : un accès à une dimension temporelle parallèle à la notre, mais fort différente car les lois de la physique y sont altérées. En explorant avec succès cette dimension au caractéristiques déroutantes, Robert Haas, l’ami et cobaye volontaire du docteur Arenson, va voir sa vie basculer et son avenir totalement changer. Des développements de cette collaboration, se renforcera une amitié déjà profonde entre les deux hommes, et ceux-ci, à la suite d’un incident a priori insignifiant lors d’un retour dans notre dimension temporelle, n’auront plus d’autre choix que de partager un étrange destin que le reste du monde sera incapable d’expliquer.

Nombre de pages en livre papier: 280.

Social commerce: Quand le e-commerce rencontre le Web d'aujourd'hui (French Edition)

Social commerce: Quand le e-commerce rencontre le Web d'aujourd'hui (French Edition) Review

Ce livre est l'histoire d'une rencontre, celle du monde du e-commerce et de celui du Web. Jusqu'à présent, les deux mondes se côtoyaient sans vraiment se rencontrer. Les entreprises du Web s'occupaient de Web, les entreprises e-commerce de e-commerce. De même pour les entrepreneurs eux-mêmes : les entrepreneurs du e-commerce venaient plutôt du monde du commerce, ceux du Web, du monde du Web. Ces derniers mois, pourtant, des nouveaux services comme Groupon, Blippy, ou Ping, sont apparus à l'intersection de ces deux mondes et connaissent une croissance énorme. Leurs principes, décrits en détail dans ce livre - group buying, communautés de social shopping, purchase sharing, social marketing - commencent à être repris par les e-commerçants plus traditionnels. La thèse centrale de ce livre est que le e-commerce est aujourd'hui de plus en plus lié aux innovations technologiques et d'usage du Web grand public, c'est-à-dire du "Web d'aujourd'hui", celui des réseaux sociaux, de Facebook et Twitter. L'intersection du Web social et du e-commerce, ou social commerce, voit naître des opportunités gigantesques, à la fois pour les e-commerçants, pour les entreprises du Web, qui trouvent dans le e-commerce des modèles économiques solides pour monétiser leurs activités, et bien sûr pour les startups et entrepreneurs sur un secteur qui promet d'être explosif : « If I had to guess, social commerce is the next area to really blow up » -- Mark Zuckerberg, Août 2010

Who is more dangerous? An enemy? A friend? Or a lover?

Bonnie Graham stands in the open door of her friend's apartment. She is alone, except for the dead body lying in a pool of blood on the floor. What happened? What will Bonnie do now? Whom can she turn to? And what role has she played in the murderous events?

Bonnie is a music teacher who has spent a long, hot summer in London rehearsing with a band to play at a friend's wedding. It was supposed to be fun, but the band members find the complicated knots of their friendships--some old, some new--unraveling as the days themselves unwind. What was meant to be a summer of happiness, love, and music turns deadly as lovers betray one another, passions turn murderous, and friendship itself becomes a crime. Everyone tells lies. But is anyone prepared to tell the truth to uncover a murderer?

Nicci French, the author of eleven internationally bestselling novels including Killing Me Softly, Catch Me When I Fall, and Losing You, delivers a sexy, intricate thriller about the temptation of secrets, the weight of lies, and the price of betrayal and suspicion.

The Era of the French Revolution, 1789-1799: Ten Years That Shook the World (The Anvil series)

The Era of the French Revolution, 1789-1799: Ten Years That Shook the World (The Anvil series) Review

The years from 1789 to 1799 are examined here in two parts. The author has included selections from non-official contemporary sources such as newspapers, letters, diaries, and treatises -- many of which have not been previously translated -- with the hope that they will give the reader a sense of the immediacy of revolutionary change. This book presents a modern interpretation of the happenings inside France and also traces the impact of the French Revolution on other nations.

Peter Mayle may have spent a year in Provence, but Harriet Welty Rochefort writes from the wise perspective of one who has spent more than twenty years living among the French. From a small town in Iowa to the City of Light, Harriet has done what so many dream of one day doing-she picked up and moved to France. But it has not been twenty years of fun and games; Harriet has endured her share of cultural bumps, bruises, and psychic adjustments along the way.

In French Toast, she shares her hard-earned wisdom and does as much as one woman can to demystify the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. She investigates such delicate matters as how to eat asparagus, how to approach Parisian women, how to speak to merchants, how to drive, and, most important, how to make a seven-course meal in a silk blouse without an apron! Harriet's first-person account offers both a helpful reality check and a lot of very funny moments.

Insiders' French: Beyond the Dictionary

Insiders' French: Beyond the Dictionary Review

If you had been living in France in the 1990s, the language you would have heard on the radio and television or seen in the newspapers would be far removed from the French language of ten or twenty years ago. The country and its language have changed tremendously in a relatively short period of time, and, as a result, English speakers with a grounding in French can still find themselves struggling to understand terms commonly encountered in contemporary French society. Luckily, Eleanor and Michel Levieux now bring us up to date with their Insiders' French, an utterly entertaining and informative guide to the language of the "new France."

This "new France" is a country poised to experience the European single currency but uncertain about being part of Europe. It is hooked on fast food but ambivalent about the country where it originated. France today has record unemployment and an increasingly controversial immigrant population. Clearly, given the rapidly changing conditions and lifestyles, conventional French dictionaries alone cannot completely inform readers and visitors. Insiders' French offers a solution to the incomprehension, a unique handbook in which you'll find the language of European union, the space program, abortion and women's rights, high-tech industries, and health care, among other topics. Entries proceed by association of ideas and related terms, with extensive cross-referencing, while still being alphabetized for easy reference like a standard dictionary. Cartoons from major French journals add to your understanding and enjoyment.

Insiders' French opens up the secret territory of French politics and culture that is often not understood by visitors or students, and it does so with wit and verve—qualities that remain in the French language despite its recent changes.

French Farmhouse Cookbook

French Farmhouse Cookbook Review

As much a book of inspiration as a collection of over 250 uncommonly delicious recipes, French Farmhouse Cookbook captures the rustic and richly flavored farmhouse cooking that is the basis of French cuisine and a perennial inspiration of French chefs. The author visited and lived among farmers, cheesemakers, ranchers, and vintners from the Pyrénnées to Alsace-Lorraine, from Normandy to Provence. The result is a stunning portrait in recipes, lively essays, and a wealth of astucesótips passed down through generations of cooks. Here are dishes prepared by lifelong cooks--not chefs--intended to satisfy, not impress.

"Susan Loomis's new book is that rare thing: a cookbook that expresses accurately the milieu of its recipes. It is a timely and beautiful reminder that we have to connect back to the land in order to recover a sustainable future."--Alice Waters, author of Chez Panisse Vegetables.

Main selection of the Book of the Month Club's Good Cook Club. 55,000 copies in print.
