Sommario/riassunto

Notre connaissance de la Voie lactée a été profondément renouvelée depuis une dizaine d’années suite aux résultats du satellite astrométrique HIPPARCOS et aux grands relevés stellaires. Bien des concepts que l’on croyait bien établis se sont effondrés, pour être remplacés par d’autres qui vont dans le sens d’une plus grande complexité : en particulier, la mise en évidence des migrations radiales des étoiles vient brouiller l’image simpliste que l’on avait du disque galactique. Certains sujets ont fait d’énormes progrès, par exemple la physique du centre de la Voie lactée avec son trou noir massif, mais d’autres problèmes subsistent, comme la nature de la matière noire qui semble exister dans notre Galaxie. Cet ouvrage fait le point des connaissances actuelles sur la Voie lactée, présentées d’une manière aussi simple et didactique que possible. Les notions de base sont toujours rappelées, ce qui rend son accès possible aux lecteurs n’ayant pas de formation approfondie en astronomie. Cet ouvrage de base servira pour mieux comprendre les résultats attendus de Gaia, qui vont arriver dans quelques années après le lancement en 2013.

Sommario/riassunto

Throughout his writing career Nietzsche advocated the affirmation of earthly life as a way to counteract nihilism and asceticism. This volume takes stock of the complexities and wide-ranging perspectives that Nietzsche brings to bear on the problem of life’s becoming on Earth by engaging various interpretative paradigms reaching from existentialist to Darwinist readings of Nietzsche. In an age in which the biological sciences claim to have unlocked the deepest secrets and codes of life,



the essays in this volume propose a more skeptical view. Life is both what is closest and what is furthest from us, because life experiments through us as much as we experiment with it, because life keeps our thinking and our habits always moving, in a state of recurring nomadism. Nietzsche’s philosophy is perhaps the clearest expression of the antinomy contained in the idea of “studying” life and in the Socratic ideal of an “examined” life and remains a deep source of wisdom about living.

Sommario/riassunto

""Exploring the Visual Landscape"" is about the combination of landscape research and planning, visual perception and Geographic



Information Science. It showcases possible ways of getting a grip on themes like: landscape openness, cluttering of the rural landscape, high-rise buildings in relation to cityscape, historic landscapes and motorway panoramas. It offers clues for visual landscape assessment of spaces in cities, parks and rural areas. In that respect, it extends the long tradition in the Netherlands on physiognomic landscape research and shows the state of the art at this moment. ""Ex
