In the tradition of E.L. James and Sylvia Day comes a sultry new series starring women who want to live out their wildest dreams . . . Online, any fantasy is possible. But when virtual lovers decide to meet in real life, the temperature rises-and so do the stakes.Safety. Anonymity. Invisibility. Those are just a few advantages of Internet "dating." Even better, as far as Hannah Miller is concerned, is the fact that she can shed all inhibitions without worrying about what he thinks of her figure or her face. "He" is bikerboy357, the man who knows what Hannah likes, and wants her-every night-as much as she wants him. When he asks to meet, Hannah hesitates. But the temptation is too strong. And after one look into his sultry green eyes, there's no turning back. Cade MacKenzie's never met a woman who's wasn't blinded by his billion-dollar net worth, but "H" knows neither his face nor his name. Her words are so smart, sweet, and scorchingly sexy that Cade's willing to gamble she'll be just as amazing in person. And she is. But even as every delicious encounter makes Cade want Hannah more, what he wants most is her trust. It's something all his money can't buy. And now, Cade will do anything to earn it . . . |

Longtemps perçue comme un gros village, réceptacle des migrations |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

rurales, la capitale du Mali est devenue une métropole illustrant remarquablement la croissance démographique et l’étalement spatial des grandes agglomérations ouest-africaines. Avec trois décennies de recul, ce livre-atlas met en lumière ces enjeux et les processus de renouvellement de la population bamakoise : le poids désormais décisif des jeunes ; l’impact de flux résidentiels redistribuant familles et demandes de logement au-delà du district urbain ; le déplacement des fortes inégalités d’accès au sol vers les périphéries de l’agglomération. S’appuyant sur une combinaison de données censitaires, d’enquêtes quantitatives et d’observations de terrain, l’ouvrage montre comment les pratiques des habitants en matière de logement, de migration et de mobilité urbaine impriment des discriminations croissantes dans ce cadre expansif. La trajectoire de la ville se lit au fil de plusieurs générations qui ont marqué l’histoire des quartiers, densifié les lignées de propriétaires, forgé de nouveaux besoins dans les plus récents fronts de peuplement. Prendre le pouls de la transition urbaine oblige à déconstruire les visions simplistes opposant émigration et immigration, croissance spontanée et urbanisme réglementaire, une ville « prédatrice » et une campagne « spoliée », sans pour autant négliger leurs échos dans les représentations locales et les modèles globalisés de gouvernance urbaine. Véritable manuel d’investigation, ce livre rappelle donc la nécessité d’une connaissance précise des cycles d’expansion urbaine et des acteurs de cette double fabrique, sociale et territoriale. Il donne à voir l’agglomération de Bamako à la fois dans sa dimension régionale et dans l’intimité de ses quartiers. |

Once there were no stone walls. For the fiercely idealistic Yankee homesteader, a small family farm was worth fighting for, and the rocky soil yielded far more than walls. Cleared and plowed, it fed a family and |

provided a living. Oxen gave way to horses, horses to tractors, and still the farm persisted and the family persevered, each generation overcoming the challenges of their day. Two hundred years later, the farm, ever generous in its rewards, has not changed; but society has shifted, forgetting its connection to the land that nourishes us. It is time we remembered.
