Une ode aux petites choses qui comptent vraiment en montagne : être au bon endroit, au bon moment, avec les bonnes personnes. Et profiter de la vue. Une histoire d’échecs est le récit autobiographique du célèbre alpiniste britannique Victor Saunders. Grimpeur hors pair, guide de montagne et explorateur de sommets lointains, Victor Saunders a eu un prestigieuse carrière d’alpiniste qui l’a mené à plusieurs reprises jusqu’au sommet de l’Everest. Mais en plus de raconter ici de riches souvenirs, des hivernales écossaises aux hautes altitudes de l’Himalaya, il nous emmène là où l’on ne l’attend pas... Ces moments de doute au cours d’une ascension où tout ne se déroule pas comme prévu, ces situations d’effroi et parfois tragiques auxquelles un alpiniste est confronté, les instants périlleux où le montagnard expert est brutalement ramené à son humble et fragile condition d’homme... De ses premiers pas de grimpeur sur les falaises anglaises aux expéditions engagées, Victor Saunders révèle dans ces pages sa personnalité discrète et attachante, loin des lumières éphémères de la célébrité, et affirme son talent d’écrivain à l’humour tout britannique. Laissez-vous emporter par le récit passionnant de Victor Saunders, un alpiniste hors pair qui a consacré sa vie à la montagne. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Après avoir exercé le métier d’architecte, Victor Saunders est devenu guide de montagne en 1996. Infatigable explorateur de sommets reculés, il a réalisé de nombreuses expéditions sur les plus hautes montagnes du monde, sur chaque continent. Président en exercice du prestigieux Alpine Club britannique, il réside dans la vallée de Chamonix.

From the acclaimed author of Blue, a beautifully illustrated history of the color white in visual culture, from antiquity to today As a pigment, white is often thought to represent an absence of color, but it is without doubt an important color in its own right, just like red, blue, green, or yellow—and, like them, white has its own intriguing history. In this richly illustrated book, Michel Pastoureau, a celebrated authority on the history of colors, presents a fascinating visual, social, and cultural history of the color white in European societies, from antiquity to today. Illustrated throughout with a wealth of captivating images ranging from the ancient world to the twenty-first century, White examines the evolving place, perception, and meaning of this deceptively simple but complex hue in art, fashion, literature, religion, science, and everyday life across the millennia. Before the seventeenth century, white’s status as a true color was never contested. On the contrary, from antiquity until the height of the Middle Ages, white formed with red and black a chromatic triad that played a central role in life and art. Nor has white always been thought of as the opposite of black. Through the Middle Ages, the true opposite of white was red. White also has an especially rich symbolic history, and the color has often been associated with purity, virginity, innocence, wisdom, peace, beauty, and cleanliness. With its striking design and compelling text, White is a colorful history of a surprisingly vivid and various color.

Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumi_re screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy BlachZ and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumi_re brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director's entry contains a brief biographical summary, including dates and places of birth and death; information on the individual's education and professional training; and other pertinent details, such as real names (when the filmmaker uses a pseudonym). The entries also provide complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age_Jean Renoir and RenZ Clair_to French New Wave artists such as Fran_ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.

The game of chess was wildly popular in the Middle Ages, so much so that it became an important thought paradigm for thinkers and writers who utilized its vocabulary and imagery for commentaries on war, politics, love, and the social order. In this collection of essays, scholars investigate chess texts from numerous traditions – English, French, German, Latin, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and Catalan – and argue that knowledge of chess is essential to understanding medieval culture. Such knowledge, however, cannot rely on the modern game, for today’s rules were not developed until the late fifteenth century. Only through familiarity with earlier incarnations of the game can one fully appreciate the full import of chess to medieval society. The careful scholarship contained in this volume provides not only insight into the significance of chess in medieval European culture but also opens up avenues of inquiry for future work in this rich field.

This open access book provides an analysis of contemporary societies and schools shaped by cultural diversity, globalization and migration. This diversity is necessarily reflected in education systems and requires the promotion of intercultural approaches able to improve learning processes and the quality of education. From an international and comparative perspective, this book first presents theoretical and conceptual foundations for seriously considering cultural diversity. The book also compares intercultural approaches and debates generated in countries as diverse as the United States, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland and France. For each national context, the book addresses both the historical roots of intercultural approaches and the concrete initiatives driven by educational policies for their implementation in schools and classrooms. Finally, the book presents discussions surrounding the treatment of linguistic or religious diversity in schools, the emergence of global citizenship education and the key role of teachers in intercultural approaches. This is an open access book.
