For a long time, World War I has been shortchanged by the historiography of science. Until recently, World War II was usually considered as the defining event for the formation of the modern relationship between science and society. In this context, the effects of the First World War, by contrast, were often limited to the massive deaths of promising young scientists. By focusing on a few key places (Paris, Cambridge, Rome, Chicago, and others), the present book gathers studies representing a broad spectrum of positions adopted by mathematicians about the conflict, from militant pacifism to military, scientific, or ideological mobilization. The use of mathematics for war is thoroughly examined. This book suggests a new vision of the long-term influence of World War I on mathematics and mathematicians. Continuities and discontinuities in the structure and organization of the mathematical sciences are discussed, as well as their images in various milieux. Topics of research and the values with which they were defended are scrutinized. This book, in particular, proposes a more in-depth evaluation of the issue of modernity and modernization in mathematics. The issue of scientific international relations after the war is revisited by a close look at the situation in a few Allied countries (France, Britain, Italy, and the USA). The historiography has emphasized the place of Germany as the leading mathematical country before WWI and the absurdity of its postwar ostracism by the Allies. The studies presented here help explain how dramatically different prewar situations, prolonged interaction during the war, and new international postwar organizations led to attempts at redrafting models for mathematical developments.

Biography of Colonel Nicolas Tokhadze of the French Foreign Legion. Born and raised in Georgia, Tokhadze immigrated to France after the Bolshevik occupation of Georgia in 1921. Enrolling in the Foreign Legion, he served with distinction in Morocco between 1925 and 1939. During the World War II, he was sent to the 5th Foreign Regiment of the French Foreign Legion in Indochina, where he distinguished himself during the fighting the Japanese in 1945, when the legionnaires conducted an epic retreat of some 1000 km from the Tonkin region to China. Rising to the rank of colonel and garnering the much coveted Legion d'Honneur, Tokhadze was the highest ranked Georgian officer in the French army.

An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Since its invention, the automobile has been systematically ‘consumed’, to become part of the fabric of twentieth- and twenty-first-century society, its impact and perception making the car an accurate gauge of changing cultural norms and values. As it grew in popularity, the automobile conditioned the very texture of modern life, and the particularly car-centred society of contemporary France is an especially apt locus for examination. The ubiquity of the automobile across all social strata provides us with a defined lens through which to examine the evolution of French society in the modern and post-modern eras. Taking the Second World War as a pivotal moment in recent French history, this book demonstrates how the automobile was both consumed and fetishized in distinct ways before and after this conflict. The ways in which society evolved from the pre- to the post-war period allow us to view French culture through the prism of the automobile as it embodied technological and social progress in twentieth-century France. The present volume seeks to explore and interrogate the processes of representation and mediation inherent in the evolving patterns of automobile consumption, and their subsequent impacts on local and national identity, framed by a detailed case study centred on France from the late-nineteenth century to the oil crisis of the early 1970s.

Harp uses the familiar figure of Bibendum and the promotional campaigns designed around him to analyze the cultural assumptions of "belle-epoque" France, including representations of gender, race and class. He also considers Michelin's efforts to promote automobile tourism in France and Europe through its famous "Red Guide" (first introduced in 1900), noting that, in the aftermath of World War I, the company sold tour guides to the battlefields of the Western Front and favourably positioned France's participation in the war as purely defensive and unavoidable. Throughout this period, the company successfully identified the name of Michelin with many aspects of French society, from cuisine and local culture to nationalism and colonialism.

Playing with Earth and Sky reveals the significance astronomy, geography, and aviation had for Marcel Duchamp - widely regarded as the most influential artist of the past fifty years. Duchamp transformed modern art by abandoning unique art objects in favor of experiences that could be both embodied and cerebral. This illuminating study offers new interpretations of Duchamp's momentous works, from readymades to the early performance art of shaving a comet in his hair. It demonstrates how the immersive spaces and narrative environments of popular science, from museums to the modern planetarium, prepared paths for Duchamp's nonretinal art. By situating Duchamp's career within the transatlantic cultural contexts of Dadaism and Surrealism, this book enriches contemporary debates about the historical relationship between art and science. This truly original study will appeal to a broad readership in art history and cultural studies.

En los albores del siglo XX, Frederick Winslow Taylor publica su obra Los Principios de la dirección científica. Desde el momento de la aparición y puesta en práctica de estos principios, la contribución de Taylor no dejó indiferente a nadie en el mundo empresarial. Su evolución y acogida en EE UU y en Europa, particularmente en el primer tercio del siglo XX, supuso una revolución mental en las factorías del entonces mundo desarrollado. Su influencia se extendió a las economías domésticas, la arquitectura, incluso la música y el ballet. La acogida de estos principios en Europa no fue homogénea, sufriendo un proceso de adaptación al entorno socioeconómico de cada país y a la particularidad de sus empresas.

L'entreprise au "Bibendum" est l'une des plus célèbres de France. Fleuron de l'industrie nationale, elle a traversé le XXe siècle, étendant son influence sur les cinq continents Jusqu'à devenir, au début du XXIe siècle, le premier fabricant mondial de pneumatiques. Mais Michelin, c'est aussi et surtout une histoire d'hommes, et d'abord celle des deux frères fondateurs : Édouard, un "meneur d'hommes" sans pareil, et André, un inventeur fécond doublé d'un génie du marketing en avance sur son temps. Puis il y eut François, petit-fils d'Édouard, capitaine au long cours, qui engagea le développement international de la manufacture ; et Édouard, fils de François, qui était le plus Jeune patron du CAC 40 quand il se noya, à quarante-deux ans, au large des côtes bretonnes. Cette tragédie a sans doute marqué à Jamais la destinée d'une entreprise qui a connu d'autres coups du sort. Celle-ci a été souvent pionnière, dans la publicité, la technologie, la gouvernante, les guides touristiques.Ses détracteurs voient en elle une entreprise paternaliste ; les autres, un modèle de culture d'entreprise. Pour ne pas être copié, Michelin, il est vrai, a érigé le secret en dogme. Ce livre retrace les grandes heures d'une saga extraordinaire et d'une épopée industrielle hors du commun. Pour la première fois, une dizaine de ses cadres dirigeants se dévoilent. Ils y parlent de leur expérience, de la vie dans l'usine, des succès et des échecs, mais aussi de ce qui attend Michelin. Car, à l'heure de la mondialisation, de nouveaux défis s'annoncent. II en va de la survie même de l'entreprise.
