Agnès Cugno, "Apprendre à philosopher avec Machiavel" eBooks & eLearning

Posted by TimMa at May 27, 2021

Trop connu, Machiavel ? Chargé dès 1513, avant même la parution de son célèbre Prince, d'une réputation catastrophique que les siècles suivants se sont plus à entretenir, il se pourrait, au contraire, que le célèbre Florentin soit encore trop souvent méconnu. Mais rien ne sert de vouloir justifier Machiavel d'un point de vue moral : on pécherait par angélisme, et l'on manquerait le sens véritable de son œuvre. Mieux vaut se plonger dans la finesse et la profondeur de cette pensée atypique, non systématique, républicaine et novatrice, à travers l'analyse des notions qui structurent sa pensée.

It's ironic that on Ramsey Lewis' Urban Knights II (GRP), the one holdover from the first Knights project is only featured half the time. Needless to say, that's the more riveting, jazzier half of this Maurice White-produced exercise in easy funk and potent, machine generated urban grooves. Lewis' slowly simmering, coolly rhythmic piano jaunts add flair to middle of the road silky pieces like "The Promise," but are best enjoyed on the two playful solo interludes which create an organic contrast to the slicker fare they complement. The pianist also adds an avant-garde edge to the heavily soundscaped "Brazilian Rain."

Urban Adaptation to Climate Change: The Role of Urban Form in Mediating Rising Temperatures eBooks & eLearning

Posted by AvaxGenius at April 18, 2020

This book presents the findings of a three-year study on urban heat in Doha, Qatar, and discusses guidelines and strategies for planning agencies to consider in the context of moderating temperatures to provide pedestrians with greater access to outdoor spaces and greater choice in modes of transport. If modifying urban form can reduce extreme temperatures in one of the hottest places on the planet, then perhaps other communities can learn how to create livable cities during a time of rapid changes to the climate. In fact, despite the periods of extreme heat, strategic planning and management of urban areas can improve residents’ and visitors’ ability to live, work, and move throughout the city comfortably.
