Sommario/riassunto

Natifs du massif rocheux du Tibesti au cœur du Sahara, ou des plaines de sable ou de cailloux qui s’étendent jusqu’au lac Tchad, les Toubou sont les voisins des Touaregs à l’est. Pasteurs saharo-sahéliens comme ceux-ci, ils sont moins connus que leurs célèbres confrères nomades. Ils occupent pourtant un quart du Sahara et jouent dans les troubles politiques du Tchad un rôle de premier plan, qui porte épisodiquement sur eux une certaine attention.  Leur mode de vie pastoral est assez largement semblable à celui des Touaregs, mais leurs structures sociales sont bien différentes. Leur organisation politique est quasi inexistante, et invétéré leur esprit d’anarchie.  Intrépides, guerriers, indépendants et querelleurs, ils manifestent entre eux de fortes



solidarités familiales que diffuse la pratique du mariage en dehors du cercle des proches parents.  Chacun des auteurs de ce livre, administrateur colonial, historien, ethnologue ou autre, apporte sur le monde toubou son point de vue spécifique. Les observations pourtant convergent sur bien des points, et laissent transparaître l’unité culturelle de ce peuple qui s’adapte avec souplesse à la vie moderne, tout en conservant avec une étrange permanence ces caractéristiques psychiques qui firent, dans le passé, son originalité et sa force.

Sommario/riassunto

A major reason for the lack of understanding of argillaceous rocks is that the key to understanding their history lies in their microfabric. Argillaceous Rock Atlas addresses this aspect by taking a systematic approach to the analysis of shale fabrics. This approach combines such techniques as scanning electron microscopy, x-radiography and thin-section petrography. Thus the book is amply illustrated with scanning electron and thin section photomicrographs and x-radiograms which show the salient features of shale at a variety of scales. A great portion of the book is devoted to case studies, supplemented by mineralogical and geochemical data, which demonstrate the utility of these techniques in the interpretation of depositional environments, diagenetic processes and possible economic significance of argillaceous rocks. Argillaceous Rock Atlas is a valuable and unique reference for students and researchers involved in the fields of sedimentology and stratigraphy, petrology, petroleum geology, hydrogeology and geochemistry.
