The Shallows: How the Internet Is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember
'Boldly reactionary... What looks like feast, Carr argues, may be closer to famine' Sunday Times
'Chilling' The Economist
In this ground-breaking and compelling book, Nicholas Carr argues that not since Gutenberg invented printing has humanity been exposed to such a mind-altering technology. The Shallows draws on the latest research to show that the Net is literally re-wiring our brains inducing only superficial understanding. As a consequence there are profound changes in the way we live and communicate, remember and socialise - even in our very conception of ourselves. By moving from the depths of thought to the shallows of distraction, the web, it seems, is actually fostering ignorance.
The Shallows is not a manifesto for luddites, nor does it seek to turn back the clock. Rather it is a revelatory reminder of how far the Internet has become enmeshed in our daily existence and is affecting the way we think. This landmark book compels us all to look anew at our dependence on this all-pervasive technology.
This 10th-anniversary edition includes a new afterword that brings the story up to date, with a deep examination of the cognitive and behavioural effects of smartphones and social media.

Introduction générale au système judiciaire algérien – Zineddine Sekfali
Ce livre n’est ni un traité théorique ni un ouvrage doctrinal accessible aux seuls juristes et spécialistes des institutions judiciaires. Pour autant, ce n’est pas qu’un opuscule de vulgarisation, sans substance ni consistance. En effet, le lecteur y trouvera non seulement des analyses de textes législatifs ou réglementaires en vigueur, mais aussi des réflexions sur les conditions dans lesquelles s’est effectuée la relève des magistrats étrangers au lendemain de l’indépendance puis a été mené le processus de réforme des institutions judiciaires ; il y trouvera également un rappel des différentes étapes par lesquelles est passée l’organisation judiciaire et découvrira des développements, rédigés le plus clairement possible, sur le dualisme juridictionnel et le double degré de juridictions, sur la répartition territoriale des cours et tribunaux, sur les nombreux changements introduits dans le statut des magistrats et leur portée, sur les transformations survenues dans les métiers de notaire, d’huissier, et sur les mutations que connaît la profession d’avocat, etc. De manière générale, l’auteur a privilégié
pour l’étude des questions abordées, une approche historique.
Sous le pavillon des raïs – Amèle El-Mahdi
« Je me suis longtemps demandé avant de renoncer à comprendre les hommes et leurs motivations, pourquoi ils tiennent tant à faire de leurs armes ces outils de la mort, de vrais bijoux ! La guerre est-elle moins laide si elle est faite avec de belles armes ? La mort n’est-elle plus hideuse si elle est provoquée par un pistolet en or ? Ou bien le sang n’est-il plus aussi rouge si c’est un yatagan incrusté de diamants qui le fait couler ? »
Amèle El Mahdi qui nous a fait voyager à travers les immensités de notre sublime Sahara, change de cap avec ce nouveau roman et nous emmène voguer avec les raïs sur les eaux de la Méditerranée ; elle nous ouvre les portes des palais des deys et des pachas d’Alger et nous livre leurs secrets les mieux gardés ; elle nous fait surtout partager les souffrances des Algérois face aux malheurs et fléaux qui les frappaient régulièrement.
Sous le pavillon des raïs est l’histoire de la ville d’Alger entre le XVIe et le XIXe siècles racontée par un héros de cette fabuleuse époque.C’est un roman riche en évènements et en informations sur cette partie de notre histoire qui reste hélas! largement méconnue.
