Originally published in 1951, this title was the last book by Hermann Levy who died in 1949 before it was finished. Completed by his friend and fellow academic Rolf P. Lynton, this title looks alcohol as a drink, both economically and socially. Divided into three parts – in brief: what is the drink problem and what are its effects; how widespread is its incidence; and what can be done about it. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

This book, first published in 1936, analyses the then-recent phenomenon of industrial combination. Concentration was new. Industrial combination was new. The interlocking of finances was new. The role of banks in regard to industry was new. The domination of financial capital over large sectors of industry was new. The author examines the new industrial system as it was, on the cusp of new world-economic conditions, resulting from and manifesting themselves in a revolution in transport, th...

Le progressisme contemporain s’annonce dans la pensée de Lévi-Strauss. L’anthropologue se sent lui-même en proie à une « contradiction », qui peut expliquer sa curiosité pour les formes symétriques dans les cultures primitives. Son intérêt pour Rimbaud incite à considérer le rapport des deux écrivains dans le prisme de cette « contradiction ». Or chez Rimbaud, le questionnement de l’Harmonie culmine dans des poèmes dont les principaux motifs semblent empruntés à Lamartine, autre explorateu...

En 1889, Hermann Hesse, douze ans, a déjà la ferme intention de devenir poète. Sa famille, extrêmement rigoriste, le croit atteint de démence, mais le jeune homme n’a de cesse d’accomplir la destinée qu’il s’est choisie. En 1946, il touche au but : le prix Nobel de littérature. Entre ces deux époques, une volonté farouche, un questionnement perpétuel, une existence entière consacrée aux valeurs humanistes et à la création. Toute l’oeuvre de Hermann Hesse est nimbée de cette aura universell...

En Allemagne, au Moyen-Âge, le jeune Goldmund est amené dans un monastère pour se vouer à Dieu. Cet enfant beau et blond, sociable, naïf, ne tarde pas à s'attirer l'attention et l'affection des moines, y compris et surtout du bientôt moine Narcisse.

Par contre, c'est à la vie elle-même que Goldmund se voue. Ce sont finalement leurs dif...

This book addresses both multi robot systems and miniaturization to the nanoscale from a unifying point of view, but without leaving aside typical particularities of either. The unifying aspect is based on the concept of information minimization whose precise formulation is the Haken-Levi-principle.The authors introduce basic concepts of multi-component self-organizing systems such as order parameters (well known from equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transitions) and the slavin...
