Outreau, l'histoire d'un désastre

Gilles Antonowicz
- Max Milo Editions
- 9622290230014
Parution : 30 Décembre 2022 - Entrée pnb : 2 Mars 2023
"What is true, and I'm actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are. We can't explain how they move, their trajectory. And so I think that people still take seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is." Barack Obama, May 17, 2021, the "Late Late Show with James Corden."
Since 2017, UFOs are no longer considered fiction. Declared a "serious subject" by the Pentagon, they have now entered public debate on American, German and Japanese news channels.
Passionate about ufology since his childhood, Egon Kragel is a great French specialist on the subject. He has dug up more than 150 UFO cases, some of which are fascinating and have captivated the international press, while others are more frightening and still raise questions.

You'll read about:
- The hairy cone of Vins-sur-Caramy
- The wave of foo fighters from the Second World War
- The Belgian wave
- Kenneth Arnold, the father of saucers
- The Flatwoods monster
- Malmstrom: deactivated missiles
- The encounter of Herb Schirmer
- The UFOs of the Hudson Valley
- UFOs: Abductions in the sky
- Betty Cash and Vickie Landrum: A scathing remake of Apocalypse Now
- Colares: Deadly encounters in the Amazon
- UFOs and Pilots: A two-step in the sky

Egon Kragel is one of the great specialists in ufology in France. His work is recognized throughout the world, notably by his friend Jacques Vallée who inspired the director Stephen Spielberg for the film E.T. He wrote his first book Ovnis, enquête sur un secret d'Etat. He participates in numerous conferences, appears regularly on television, and takes part in radio programs and podcasts.

Migration control in practice : before and within the borders of the state

Federica Infantino, Djordje Sredanovic, Collectif
- Editions de l'Université de Bruxelles
- 9621643961100
Parution : 17 Novembre 2022 - Entrée pnb : 13 Décembre 2023
The book presents the results of several qualitative research project with different actors that put migration policies into practice. It shows the different ways in which day-to-day activities of organisations shape migration policies on the ground. This book offers a comprehensive exploration on how different migration policies are implemented day by day. Such an approach allows to show the different ways in which migration policies on the ground take a life of their own when compared to the letter of the law. The book shows the need to understand the specific logics and workings of the implementation of policies, while taking into account the continued role played by politicians and the judiciary, non-state actors and migrants. Qualitative research with different public institutions implementing migration policies are combined with an exploration of the role of NGOs, supranational institutions and the migrants themselves. Bringing together the results of several research projects with fieldwork in Belgium, the UK, France, Morocco and Malta, the book covers the different stages of the migratory career. It follows the potential trajectory of a migrant from visa obtention (both in general and for students specifically) to border controls, asylum (including resettlement and gender and sexuality-based asylum), access to residence (with a specific focus on marriage-based residence), healthcare and nationality, or to detention and managed return migration. Through its chapters it shows the day-to-day logics, routines and tactics that bureaucrats and other actors adopt, within the constrains of laws, social interactions, and ideas about policies.

Defeating jihadist terrorism

Jacques Baud
- Max Milo Editions
- 9621831540018
Parution : 7 Novembre 2022 - Entrée pnb : 15 Décembre 2022
Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach.
Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably.
The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field.

Global forum on transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes peer reviews : Canada 2011

OCDE
- OECD
- 3612225184181
Parution : 27 Avril 2011 - Entrée pnb : 9 Décembre 2015
The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 90 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing.
The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention.
The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. "Fishing expeditions" are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.
All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction's legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined - Phase 1 plus Phase 2 - reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.
All review reports are published once approved by the Global Forum and they thus represent agreed Global Forum reports.
For more information on the work of the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, and for copies of the published review reports, please visit www.oecd.org/tax/transparency

The second life of networks

Didier Lombard
- Odile Jacob
- 3664181375714
Parution : 1 Juillet 2008 - Entrée pnb : 12 Juillet 2019
The telephone is more than one hundred thirty-years-old, the internet and the cell phone over twenty. And now, today, this ever more dense entanglement of telecommunications networks is coupled with an intertwining of human and social networks: we are on the way to becoming.... networks. Didier Lombard is both the "living memory" of French and European industry, and a visionary businessman, at the helm of one of the most active corporations in the world in a sector that is essential to growth. For the first time, he presents to a general readership his view of the technological developments that have occurred starting in the 1970s to the turn of the twenty-first century. Above all, he shares his vision of what our exchanges, our consumer behavior, and our daily lives will be like in the near future. In fact, we have already entered into the "second life" of networks. Beyond what is at stake in a key sector of the economy, to better understand the new world that is already our own. Didier Lombard is CEO and Chairman of the Board of France Telecom-Orange. A graduate of the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique, he holds a telecommunications and engineering degree as well as a doctorate in European Economics. He played an important role in the inception and design of the first French telecommunications satellites. He also contributed to the development of the GSM [Global System for Mobile communications]. He subsequently was appointed as Director of Industrial Strategy for the French Ministry of the Economy then Ambassador for International Investments.

The french white paper on defence and national security

Commission Du Livre
- Odile Jacob
- 3664181375721
Parution : 15 Juillet 2008 - Entrée pnb : 12 Juillet 2019
The French White Paper on Defence and National Security sets forth a detailed roadmap for defending the nation's territory and security interests in a globalised world. It also describes how France can contribute to a wider and more effective role for Europe on the international scene. Upon being elected President of the French Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy appointed a wide-ranging Commission to appraise France's defence and security strategy. The resulting White Paper surveys today's uncertain world and addresses key questions in the field of international security. It embraces European developments, the transatlantic partnership, the evolution of the United Nations and the changing position of the Western world and its relations with the Asian and African powers. It tackles key changes in French defence and security policy in the coming years, and the essential role of knowledge-based security and intelligence gathering, nuclear deterrence, the protection of citizens, as well as of French and European territory, and future operations abroad. The book considers questions that lie at the heart of modern military and political strategy. Issues dealt with include Jihadist-inspired terrorism, proliferation of ballistic missiles, preparing for massive cyber attacks, the future shapes of warfare, and the tools for building peace that globalisation affords. This White Paper will interest everyone concerned about international security and the role of citizens in contributing to their own security.

Personal dietary requirements

C. Fischier
- Odile Jacob
- 9624188550013
Parution : 28 Avril 2015 - Entrée pnb : 6 Février 2024
In most (if not all) human societies, turning down food offered amounts to rejecting the relationship, pulling out of the circle of guests and the group. It indicates distrust and may prompt exclusion. In today's world, however, a large and apparently growing number of people are asserting personal dietary requirements for a variety of reasons: medical (allergies and intolerance); health and weight (various diets and regimens); ethical, political and spiritual (vegetarianism, veganism, religious restrictions). Does the sudden assertion of these individual demands indicate an evolution or even a rejection of what can be considered the bedrock of sociability: the sharing of meals? The issue of selective eating is explored here from a wide interdisciplinary perspective: from a biomedical standpoint (immunology, allergies and intolerances) to social and historical analyses. The rise of personal dietary requirements poses questions as to the scope and limits to individualization in contemporary societies. This book (and the conference that gave rise to it) triggered a debate in the French media: Will the trend lead to the end of eating as a social, shared activity? Will we abandon all forms of commensal eating? Or will novel configurations emerge, flexible enough but also ritualized enough so that the experience of eating retains a sense of conviviality? ?Claude Fischler is Senior Investigator Emeritus with CNRS, the French national research agency. He is the author of pioneering work in the field of food studies. Véronique Pardo is an anthropologist and heads OCHA. OCHA is a research institute within the French dairy council and a resource center for sharing research with the academic community. Since 1992, it has been analyzing food habits and the relationships people (as eaters, consumers and citizens) have with their food (www. lemangeur-ocha. com).

50 years of financial crises

Jacques de Larosière
- Odile Jacob
- 3664181527755
Parution : 28 Mars 2018 - Entrée pnb : 12 Juillet 2019
"This story essentially tells of the financial crises that the markets always end up inflicting on those who have abused their innovations, their excesses and the lax atmosphere. Dealing with these crises - in often inventive ways - has taken up much more energy than their prevention or any substantive reforms. I had the privilege of being involved in some of these `ways out of crisis'. I lived through their dramatic intensity and was, sometimes, able to contribute to pragmatic solutions which helped to steady the ship. This was true, for example, of the Latin American crisis, negotiation of the IMF adjustment programmes and aiding the transition of the Eastern European countries. But the picture is still dark. The 2007-2008 crisis, with its trail of unemployment and recession, is an extreme example of what excess debt can do. And quantitative easing policies, implemented to minimize the effects of the `great recession' despite its origins in the abuse of debt, plunge an observer like myself into an abyss of questions and doubts."From the collapse of Bretton Woods to that of Lehman Brothers, a first-hand account of fifty years of financial crises by a participant on the front lines of finance and currency. The memoirs of an exceptional, influential man who worked alongside Jacques Delors, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Raymond Barre, Paul Volcker, and many others. Jacques de Larosière spent his entire career at the head of financial institutions: he was first Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (1978-1987) before becoming Governor of the Banque de France (1987-1993), then president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (1993-1998). He is currently Advisor to the president of BNP-Paribas.

Prägnante Zusammenfassung und kritische Analyse zu Gladwells Tipping Point: Wie kleine Dinge Großes bewirken knnen
Wie kommt es, dass sich manche Phänomene in der Gesellschaft durchsetzen und andere nicht? Welche Faktoren begünstigen, dass ein Trend sich ausbreitet? Der britisch-kanadische Journalist und Autor Malcolm Gladwell geht diesen Dingen in seinem Bestseller Tipping Point auf den Grund. Anhand von lebendigen Beispielen erklärt er seine Theorie, wonach bestimmte Faktoren (eine ansteckende Botschaft, überzeugende Botschafter mit den entscheidenden Informationen und dem richtigen sozialen Netz, eine günstige Konstellation der Umstände) zusammentreffen müssen, damit vereinzelte Erscheinungen pltzlich zum Massenphänomen werden und an sich belanglose Kleinigkeiten pltzlich eine gigantische Wirkung entfalten. Dabei geht es auch um Raucherepidemien, Mord, Graffiti, Gefängnisexperimente, Geschlechtskrankheiten und die Sesamstraße.

Nach 50 Minuten kennen Sie:
Gladwells Theorie zur Entstehung sozialer Epidemien (und welche Faktoren dafür ntig sind)

Book Review: Nudge by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein

Parution : 4 Avril 2019 - Entrée pnb : 13 Décembre 2023
It can be hard for busy professionals to find the time to read the latest books. Stay up to date in a fraction of the time with this concise guide.
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness, by the Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard H. Thaler and the Harvard Law School professor Cass S. Sunstein, advocates libertarian paternalism, an approach by which individuals can be steered to make better decisions without taking away their freedom of choice. According to Thaler and Sunstein, humans are subject to biases and cognitive shortcomings which prevent them from always making the best decisions. By altering the way in which choices are presented, so-called "choice architects" can make people more likely to opt for a particular choice even if everything else in the situation remains the same. The idea of nudges has important applications in public policy, and the book has proved influential in numerous fields, from economics to philosophy.
This book review and analysis is perfect for:
o Students of economics, psychology and politics
o Anyone who wants to know why we make the choices we do
o Anyone who is curious about how public policy can shape our behaviour

Prägnante Zusammenfassung und kritische Analyse zu Cass R. Sunsteins und Richard H. Thalers Nudge: Wie man kluge Entscheidungen anstßt
Wie knnen wir dafür sorgen, dass anderen Menschen gute Entscheidungen leichter fallen? Die Antwort auf diese Frage haben Richard Thaler und Cass Sunstein im revolutionären Konzept des Nudge gefunden. Ein klug geplanter Nudge kann dafür sorgen, dass Menschen ganz nebenbei für ihr Alter vorsorgen, mehr Rücksicht auf ihre Umwelt nehmen, oder gesünder leben. Und einem perfekten Nudge gelingt es, die beste Alternative so subtil hervorzuheben, dass wir die anderen Auswahlmglichkeiten beinahe vergessen. Wer die Kunst des Nudgings beherrscht, kann unsere Gesellschaft entscheidend vorwärtsbringen. Mit ihrer anschaulichen Erzählweise faszinierten die Autoren ein weltweites Publikum und Nudging inspirierte bereits zahlreiche Entscheidungsträger in Politik und Wirtschaft.
Nach 50 Minuten kennen Sie:
  die Theorien, die zur Entstehung der Nudges geführt haben
    die Wirkung der Nudges und wie sie helfen, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen
    die Methoden, mit denen man selbst Nudges planen und bestehende Strukturen verbessern kann

De geheimen van de ku klux klan - het gemaskerde gezicht van vooroordelen in de verenigde staten

Raphael Coune
- 50 Minutes
- 9622995391102
Parution : 23 Février 2023 - Entrée pnb : 13 Décembre 2023
De Ku Klux Klan is een van de meest beruchte blanke supremacistische groeperingen ter wereld. Zij werd opgericht in 1867 in de nasleep van de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog, en haar ideologie is altijd nauw verbonden geweest met de mythe van een welvarende Confederatiestaat. Zij is echter vooral bekend om de schokkend wrede gewelddaden die haar leden in de loop der jaren hebben gepleegd, met als gevolg dat de kenmerkende gewaden met capuchons die de leden dragen om hun identiteit te verbergen, een wereldwijd erkend symbool van raciale vooroordelen en onverdraagzaamheid zijn geworden. Dit eenvoudige en informatieve boek geeft een grondige bespreking van de belangrijkste momenten in de geschiedenis van de Ku Klux Klan, waaronder de heroprichting van de organisatie door William J. Simmons in 1915, de daaruit voortvloeiende interne machtsstrijd en de juridische schandalen die uiteindelijk tot de ondergang hebben geleid. Het bevat ook een overzicht van de belangrijkste leden van de KKK tijdens haar geschiedenis, een inleiding tot haar interne structuur en een bespreking van de belangrijkste botsingen van de organisatie met de wet, waardoor je alle essentiële informatie krijgt over deze beruchte haatgroep.

Parution : 23 Février 2023 - Entrée pnb : 13 Décembre 2023
Il Ku Klux Klan è uno dei gruppi suprematisti bianchi più noti al mondo. È stata fondata nel 1867 all'indomani della guerra civile statunitense e la sua ideologia è sempre stata strettamente legata al mito di un prospero Stato confederato. Tuttavia, è nota soprattutto per gli scioccanti e brutali atti di violenza commessi dai suoi membri nel corso degli anni, con il risultato che le caratteristiche vesti incappucciate indossate dai membri per nascondere la loro identità sono diventate un simbolo riconosciuto a livello mondiale di pregiudizio razziale e bigottismo. Questo libro, semplice e ricco di informazioni, offre una discussione approfondita dei momenti chiave della storia del Ku Klux Klan, tra cui la ricostituzione dell'organizzazione da parte di William J. Simmons nel 1915, la conseguente lotta interna per il potere e gli scandali legali che alla fine portarono alla sua scomparsa. Include inoltre una panoramica dei principali membri del KKK nel corso della sua storia, un'introduzione alla sua struttura interna e una discussione dei principali scontri dell'organizzazione con la legge, fornendo tutte le informazioni essenziali su questo famigerato gruppo d'odio.

On the death and life of langage

Claude Hagège
- Odile Jacob
- 3664181528578
Parution : 2 Janvier 2019 - Entrée pnb : 10 Juillet 2019
"Do people know that on average around 25 languages die every year? In one hundred years, if nothing has changed, half of all languages will be dead. At the end of the Twenty-first Century, there should therefore remain around 2,500, and probably many fewerif we take into account a very possible acceleration of the rate of disappearance. Granted, like civilizations, languages are mortal, and the chasm of history is big enough for them all. However, there is something completely unique, and exalting, about the death of languages, when we become aware of it: languages can be resurrected! But this requires vigilance, without which all are threatened, including French." C. H. Claude Hagège is a recipient of the CNRS Gold Medal, and professor at the Collège de France. He is the author of L'Enfant aux deux langues, Le Français et les siècles, both huge best-sellers.
