Encyclopedia of French Film Directors
Author: Philippe Rège

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Release Date: 2009-12-11
Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumi_re screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy BlachZ and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumi_re brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director's entry contains a brief biographical summary, including dates and places of birth and death; information on the individual's education and professional training; and other pertinent details, such as real names (when the filmmaker uses a pseudonym). The entries also provide complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age_Jean Renoir and RenZ Clair_to French New Wave artists such as Fran_ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.
Violence in Medieval Europe
The European Middle Ages have long attracted popular interest as an era characterised by violence, whether a reflection of societal brutality and lawlessness or part of a romantic vision of chivalry. Violence in Medieval Europe engages with current scholarly debate about the degree to which medieval European society was in fact shaped by such forces. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, Warren Brown examines the norms governing violence within medieval societies from the sixth to the fourteenth century, over an area covering the Romance and the Germanic-speaking regions of the continent as well as England. Scholars have often told the story of violence and power in the Middle Ages as one in which 'private' violence threatened and sometimes destroyed 'public' order. Yet academics are now asking to what degree violence that we might call private, in contrast to the violence wielded by a central authority, might have been an effective social tool. Here, Brown looks at how private individuals exercised violence in defence of their rights or in vengeance for wrongs within a set of clearly understood social rules, and how over the course of this period, kings began to claim the exclusive right to regulate the violence of their subjects as part of their duty to uphold God's order on earth. Violence in Medieval Europe provides both an original take on the subject and an illuminating synthesis of recent and classic scholarship. It will be invaluable to students and scholars of history, medieval studies and related areas, for the light it casts not just on violence, but on the evolution of the medieval political order.

Sous l'égide de la Société française de médecine vasculaire (SFMV), du Collège des enseignants de médecine vasculaire (CEMV) et du Collège français de pathologie vasculaire (CFPV). Le Traité de médecine vasculaire est venu combler un vide et s'est rapidement imposé comme l'ouvrage de référence en langue française en médecine vasculaire. Fort de ce succès et compte tenu de la rapidité des évolutions dans ce domaine, la pertinence d'un ouvrage consacré plus spécifi quement à la maladie veineuse chronique s'imposait. Cet ouvrage, est le fruit, comme le Traité de médecine vasculaire, d'un travail collaboratif des différentes entités de la médecine vasculaire : la Société française de médecine vasculaire, le Collège français de pathologie vasculaire, le Collège des enseignants de médecine vasculaire. Regroupant plus de 30 auteurs, très richement illustré et présentant la synthèse des travaux dans le domaine, cet ouvrage aborde de manière claire et exhaustive les pathologies liées à la maladie veineuse chronique. Après une première partie consacrée à l'épidémiologie, aux bases anatomiques et aux explorations ultrasonores, l'ouvrage détaille tous les aspects du traitement des maladies veineuses chroniques (contention-compression, sclérothérapie, chirurgie, radiofréquence et laser), les complications éventuelles et les localisations périphériques. Une dernière partie fait le point sur l'évaluation et la réglementation. Ce traité est incontournable pour tous les spécialistes amenés à participer à la prise en charge de ces pathologies : médecins vasculaires, cardiologues, dermatologues.
