Extrait : ""L'Histoire de la chirurgie fut entreprise, il y a quelques années, par M. Dujardin, membre du Collège de Chirurgie de Paris. Une mort prématurée ne lui permit pas d'en conduire l'exécution au-delà du premier volume, qu'il publia en 1774. L. Peyrilhe, chargé de continuer cet ouvrage, s'en est acquitté d'une manière également instructive et piquante."" |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Focusing on francophone writing from North Africa as it has developed since the 1980s, Writing After Postcolonialism explores the extent to which the notion of 'postcolonialism' is still resonant for literary writers a generation or more after independence, and examines the troubled status of literature in society and politics during this period. Whilst analysing the ways in which writers from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have reacted to political unrest and social dissatisfaction, Jane Hiddleston offers a compelling reflection on literature's ability to interrogate the postcolonial nation as well as on its own uncertain role in the current context. The book sets out both to situate the recent generation of francophone writers in North Africa in relation to contemporary politics, to postcolonial theory, and evolving notions of |

'world literature, and to probe the ways in which a new and highly sophisticated set of writers reflect on the very notion of 'the literary' during this period of transition."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This heavily illustrated book collects in one source most of the mathematically simple systems of differential equations whose solutions are chaotic. It includes the historically important systems of van der Pol, Duffing, Ueda, Lorenz, Rossler, and many others, but it goes on to show that there are many other systems that are simpler and more elegant. Many of these systems have been only recently discovered and are not widely known. Most cases include plots of the attractor and calculations of the spectra of Lyapunov exponents. Some important cases include graphs showing the route to chaos.The |
