Orlando
A gorgeous clothbound edition of Woolf's fantastical and enchanting novel, designed by the acclaimed Coralie-Bickford Smith. Orlando has always been an outsider... His longing for passion, adventure and fulfilment takes him out of his own time. Chasing a dream through the centuries, he bounds from Elizabethan England and imperial Turkey to the modern world. Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the journey - a nobleman, traveller, writer? Man or... woman? A wry commentary on gender and history, Orlando is also, in Woolf's own words, a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in ambiguity and capriciousness. This clothbound Penguin edition is edited by Brenda Lyons with an introduction and notes by Sandra M. Gilbert. 'I read this book and believed it was a hallucinogenic, interactive biography of my own life and future' Tilda Swinton
Rhythm of War, Part Two
After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar's crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move.
Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin's scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals, and potentially reveal the secrets of the ancient tower that was once the heart of their strength.
At the same time that Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role within the Knights Radiant, his Windrunners face their own problem: As more and more deadly enemy Fused awaken to wage war, no more honorspren are willing to bond with humans to increase the number of Radiants. Adolin and Shallan must lead the coalition's envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium, or personally face the storm of failure.

Why Only Us: Language and Evolution (The MIT Press)
Berwick and Chomsky draw on recent developments in linguistic theory to offer an evolutionary account of language and humans' remarkable, species-specific ability to acquire it.“A loosely connected collection of four essays that will fascinate anyone interested in the extraordinary phenomenon of language.”—New York Review of BooksWe are born crying, but those cries signal the first stirring of language. Within a year or so, infants master the sound system of their language: a few years after that, they are engaging in conversations. This remarkable, species-specific ability to acquire any human language—“the language faculty”—raises important biological questions about language, including how it has evolved. This book by two distinguished scholars—a computer scientist and a linguist—addresses the enduring question of the evolution of language.Robert Berwick and Noam Chomsky explain that until recently the evolutionary question could not be properly posed, because we did not have a clear idea of how to define “language” and therefore what it was that had evolved. But since the Minimalist Program, developed by Chomsky and others, we know the key ingredients of language and can put together an account of the evolution of human language and what distinguishes us from all other animals.Berwick and Chomsky discuss the biolinguistic perspective on language, which views language as a particular object of the biological world: the computational efficiency of language as a system of thought and understanding: the tension between Darwin's idea of gradual change and our contemporary understanding about evolutionary change and language: and evidence from nonhuman animals, in particular vocal learning in songbirds.

Manuel de psychothérapie brève des troubles émotionnels de l’enfant
L’ambition de ce Manuel consiste à suggérer une voie pour modifier des interactions entre parents et enfants qui ne se réduisent pas simplement à indiquer et à prescrire aux parents des changements de comportements.Dans ce sens, la psychothérapie décrite ici peut être définie comme psychodynamique puisqu’elle est essentiellement fondée sur le fait de comprendre comment les relations internes conditionnent les relations externes. Toutefois, elle se différencie de façon significative des thérapies classiques d’orientation psychodynamique qui considèrent le symptôme de l’enfant comme un épiphénomène de mécanismes inconscients qui, une fois résolus, conduisent quasi magiquement au changement comportemental.Par rapport à ces thérapies qui d’habitude distinguent nettement le travail avec l’enfant du travail avec les parents, ce Manuel décrit un modèle de psychothérapie psychodynamique qui focalise le travail sur les interactions actuelles et passées. L’hypothèse de base est la suivante : maintenir au centre de l’attention du travail thérapeutique les interactions parents-enfants peut permettre une plus ample réélaboration des Modèles Opérants Internes chez les parents et chez les enfants et qu’une telle réélaboration facilite de façon plus stable et plus durable la prise de conscience des symptômes de l’enfant vu qu’ils sont toujours l’expression d’un trouble dans la relation entre soi et l’autre. About the Author Filippo Muratori est professeur associé de psychiatrie de l’enfant et de l’adolescent à l’Université de Pisa, et chef de service à l’IRCCS Stella Maris.

Les nouvelles diplomaties Genèse, qualification et accompagnement – Nassim Mokrani
Le livre propose une historiographie universelle et symbolique de la diplomatie, abordée comme concept et pratique. Il aborde les changements que connaît le système international, avec l’ascension de « nouveaux acteurs », qui ne remet cependant pas en cause la centralité de l’État. L’ouvrage analyse aussi la diplomatie pluridimensionnelle, qui ouvre la voie à l’émergence d’une multitude de fidèles : parlementaire, sécuritaire, économique, culturelle… Le livre traite enfin d’aspects opératoires, suivant une approche semi philosophique, tout en proposant une théorisation pratique d’outils généraux de conception, parmi lesquels la technique d’élaboration des discours et des notes de synthèse.
