• Sommario/riassunto: Les données synthétisées des fouilles réalisées à Nîmes de 1966 à 1992, sur les sites de U Marseillaise, des Villégiales des Bénédictins, des Hespérides et de La Fontaine des Bénédictins, permettent de suivre l’évolution du quartier dit «des Bénédictins» depuis le Néolithique jusqu’à nos jours. Situé en bordure de I*oppidum préromain, sur les pentes du mont Cavalier, cet espace s est structuré à partir de la fin du VIe s av. J.-C., puis a été intégré au cœur de la cité antique après la construction de l’enceinte augustéenne. Désurbanisé dès la fin du IIe s, de n.è., il restera habitat jusqu’au xviie s.Ordonné selon une trame adaptée à la topographie, doté d’un système de drainage et de distribution des eaux, ce quartier antique regroupait un ensemble de maisons dont les plans, les techniques de construction, les décors et le mobilier domestique font ici l’objet d’études spécifiques et d’une approche socio-économique. The results of the excavation, undertaken in Nîmes from 1966 to 1992, of the sites of the Marseillaise, the Villégiales des Bénédictins, the Hesperides and the Fontaine des Bénédictins, make it possible to follow the evolution of the Bénédictins district from the neolithic to the present day. Near a pre-roman oppidum, on the slopes of mount Cavalier, this area was occupied from the end of the sixth century BC, later finding itself at the heart of the old town after construction of the atywall during Augustus reign. No longer an urban area from the second century AD onwards, it remained rural until the eighteenth century.Organised according to a framework which respected the relief, with both water supply system and drainage, this district contained a group of houses whose plans, construction details, decoration and domestic finds are studied both individually and from a socio-economic point of view.

• Sommario/riassunto: This two-volume book provides an enriching insight into the laser, covering different types of lasers, the basic science behind the technology, their role at the cutting-edge of current scientific research, and their wide-ranging applications. With just high school physics as a prerequisite and favoring qualitative yet scientifically sound explanations over high-level mathematics, this book is aimed at a broad spectrum of readers in physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and biology. Its engaging and lucid presentation is enhanced with plenty of illustrations, making the world of the laser accessible to undergraduate students in the sciences and any other inquisitive readers with high school physics under their belts. Furthermore, the text is often laced with anecdotes, picked from history, that are bound to pique the minds of the readers. It is ideal for self-study or as a complement to courses on optics and optoelectronics. This volume, Part 1 of 2, explains the fundamentals of optics, what a laser is, how it works, and what is unique about the light it emits, from fundamental quantum theory through population inversion and cavity to common laser types. It is followed by Part 2 which depicts the many advances in science enabled by the laser, including spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, optical cooling and trapping, and optical tweezers, among many others, and provides a glimpse into the ways that the laser affects our lives via its uses in medicine, manufacturing, the nuclear industry, energy, defence, communication, ranging, pollution monitoring, art conservation, fashion, beauty, and entertainment.
