Sommario/riassunto

Nat Hentoff, renowned jazz critic, civil liberties activist, and fearless contrarian-"I'm a Jewish atheist civil-libertarian pro-lifer"-has lived through much of jazz's history and has known many of jazz's most important figures, often as friend and confidant. Hentoff has been a tireless advocate for the neglected parts of jazz history, including forgotten sidemen and -women. This volume includes his best recent work-short essays, long interviews, and personal recollections. From Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong to Ornette Coleman and Quincy Jones, Hentoff brings the jazz greats to life and traces their art to gospel, blues, and many other forms of American music. At the Jazz Band Ball also includes Hentoff's keen, cosmopolitan observations on a wide range of issues. The book shows how jazz and education are a vital partnership, how free expression is the essence of liberty, and how



social justice issues like health care and strong civil rights and liberties keep all the arts-and all members of society-strong.

Sommario/riassunto

Héritière de l’anticipation, du merveilleux scientifique et des voyages extraordinaires, la science-fiction française et francophone devait se renouveler profondément à partir des années 1950, confrontée à des changements sociétaux irrépressibles, à l’irruption de La science-fiction américaine en France et dans le reste de l’espace francophone. Quelles sont donc les forces sous-jacentes, ces « dieux cachés » qui allaient présider à une créativité singulière dans tous les domaines science-fictionnels ? La politique, la métaphy­sique et le religieux semblent être les soubassements essentiels d’une science-fiction écrite en français, multi­pliant des ponts culturels entre littérature, cinéma et bande-dessinée, entre production artistique exigeante et succès populaire. La science-fiction en France est devenue un champ culturel autonome qui subirait de nombreuses évolutions, chaque génération produisant des écrivains à la créativité singulière, dont les réflexions critiques enrichiraient ce domaine de l’imaginaire. Explorant un large spectre de la science-fiction francophone en privi­légiant des approches pluridisciplinaires, de Gérard Klein à Pierre Bordage, de l’utopie à la politique, de l’écologie à la révolte, de la poésie au cyberpunk, de Chris Marker à Luc Besson, Des pionniers de l’espérance à Enki Bilal, cet ouvrage ouvre le champ de la recherche universitaire à un domaine inédit et riche, la science-fiction d’expression française des années 1950 à aqjourd’hui.

Sommario/riassunto

The fate of cultural property extracted during the Nazi era has increasingly been the subject of provenance research since the 1990s. This volume combines the latest findings of provenance research in libraries and provides contributions to the history of the library during the Nazi era. Provenance research is almost only reported in the media when it concerns valuable works of art. For books, it is relatively difficult: it is mostly about mass-produced goods without great material value and the books have often reached their locations after hard-to-find odysseys. Nevertheless, more and more libraries deal with their Nazi past. Library historian Jürgen Babendreier puts it in a nutshell: "In the robbed books, history comes to life, invisible remembrance continues, historical responsibility becomes present."

Sommario/riassunto

Many things have been said and written on the skeletal and non-skeletal effects of vitamin D, but the largest recent interventional studies are generally negative. How should we thus position ourselves in 2020? Should we say "stop" or "not yet"? Indeed, the aging of the population, as well as new challenges and discoveries, is still triggering interest in this old molecule. In this Special Edition of Nutrients, we invited top experts to give their opinion on this important debate. We also encouraged scientists to submit their latest research on nutritional requirements in the general population and in high-risk groups, as well as treatment strategies, epidemiology, analytical updates and new devices for vitamin D measurement and the effect of vitamin D on bone and extra-skeletal health. As readers will see, this Special Issue reinforces the high prevalence of vitamin deficiency and insufficiency in the general population and supports the safety of this low-cost molecule, revealing new perspectives regarding the extra-skeletal effects of vitamin D.
