Sommario/riassunto

Après les savants de la Commission des sciences et des arts qui avaient accompagné Bonaparte en Égypte, l’archéologue Auguste Mariette s’attache à mettre en valeur l’Antiquité égyptienne. Deux bâtiments faisant office de musée ont successivement abrité au Caire les objets découverts lors des fouilles entreprises sous sa direction, puis sous celle de Gaston Maspero. Sous le mandat de son successeur, Jacques de



Morgan, le projet, ancien, de construire un véritable musée prend corps. Un concours d’architecture est organisé en 1894 par Honoré Daumet, président de la Société centrale des architectes en France, avec le soutien de l’opinion internationale. Le nombre élevé de participants et la variété des projets illustrent le retentissement et l’intérêt suscités par le concours, son sujet et le pays dans lequel il avait lieu.  Fruit de la recherche internationale, des synthèses font à la fois le point des connaissances sur le déroulement du concours, les délibérations du jury, la construction du bâtiment, mais aussi sur le travail des architectes à la fin du XIXe siècle et les questions de style. Ces textes sont complétés de sources traduites en français (documents d’archives pour certains inédits, articles de la presse internationale), et de photographies, qui étayent les commentaires des spécialistes.  Ce livre est le deuxième de la collection "D’une rive l’autre" mise en place par InVisu avec les éditions Picard.

Sommario/riassunto

Why did the financial crisis happen? Why did no one see it coming? And how did our banks lose so much of our money? What's being done to sort out the banking industry? And will it work?  These are the questions that industry experts Adrian Docherty and Franck Viort cover in Better Banking: Understanding and Addressing the Failures in Risk Management, Governance and Regulation. They give a clear and thorough run-through of some of the key concepts and developments in banking, to enable the reader to understand better this vital yet perilous industry. Without excessive detail
