Savoie

Marignan : 1515. Pavie : 1525.
Une grande victoire suivie d'une terrible défaite ; deux dates qui ont marqué d'un sceau indélébile les débuts du règne de François Ier, à l'aube de la Renaissance. Pour tous, François Ier incarne la figure lumineuse du roi-chevalier et du poète cultivant l'art de la galanterie. Mais qui a façonné le grand homme ? Autour de lui, toujours, des femmes : Louise de Savoie et sa soeur Marguerite de Navarre ont construit l'image d'un souverain aimé du peuple, d'un diplomate subtil et d'un homme de guerre appelé à tenir tête jusqu'à sa mort à l'empereur Charles Quint…

The present book contains fourteen expository contributions on various topics connected to Number Theory, or Arithmetics, and its relationships to Theoreti­ cal Physics. The first part is mathematically oriented; it deals mostly with ellip­ tic curves, modular forms, zeta functions, Galois theory, Riemann surfaces, and p-adic analysis. The second part reports on matters with more direct physical interest, such as periodic and quasiperiodic lattices, or classical and quantum dynamical systems. The contribution of each author represents a short self-contained course on a specific subject. With very few prerequisites, the reader is offered a didactic exposition, which follows the author's original viewpoints, and often incorpo­ rates the most recent developments. As we shall explain below, there are strong relationships between the different chapters, even though every single contri­ bution can be read independently of the others. This volume originates in a meeting entitled Number Theory and Physics, which took place at the Centre de Physique, Les Houches (Haute-Savoie, France), on March 7 - 16, 1989. The aim of this interdisciplinary meeting was to gather physicists and mathematicians, and to give to members of both com­ munities the opportunity of exchanging ideas, and to benefit from each other's specific knowledge, in the area of Number Theory, and of its applications to the physical sciences. Physicists have been given, mostly through the program of lectures, an exposition of some of the basic methods and results of Num­ ber Theory which are the most actively used in their branch.

Capitale de la Haute-Savoie, montagnarde et balnéaire à la fois, Annecy se distingue par son élégance. Une destination chic et délicieuse. Estampillée Ville d`art & d`histoire, Annecy offre un centre médiéval pittoresque avec ses canaux et ses ponts. En fleuron, le Palais de l`Île, ancienne maison forte du XIIe siècle, apparaît comme une proue sur un îlot du Thiou, courte rivière qui arrose la ville en deux bras charmants : le Port et le canal du Vassé. où ce surnom de Venise des Alpes donné à Annecy.

Par cette enquête intime, je voulais faire renaître une dernière fois ce désert blanc si inédit. Dire l’importance de l’amitié. Fixer le temps qui passe. Nous rappeler, sans savoir ce que demain nous réserve, que nous sommes des êtres sociaux, des êtres aimants.

The Routledge Handbook of Gastronomic Tourism explores the rapid transformations that have affected the interrelated areas of gastronomy, tourism and society, shaping new forms of destination branding, visitor satisfaction, and induced purchase decisions

Confronting an ecological crisis in 1860, French officials initiated an unprecedented policy of alpine reforestation. This is an environmental and political history of the disputes over the uses of mountains and forests in France from the mid-19th century to the eve of World War II.

Rotator cuff surgery is currently the most common surgical procedure involving the shoulder. Unfortunately despite major technical advances, there is still a significant rate of failure of primary rotator cuff repair, ranging from 10% to 40%. This book describes the diagnosis, classification, assessment, and management of failed rotator cuff repairs.
It also explores the etiology of the failed repairs, presents a series of treatment options, and discusses the complications. In a multidisciplinary format it addresses both how to prevent failure and how to diagnose and manage the failed rotator cuff, including imaging, laboratory testing, nutrition, surgery and rehabilitation.
