"Nous les femmes, nous nous sommes pour ainsi dire émancipées,nous avons conquis la liberté de choix, dans le travail, en amour, dans nos vies.Mais à quel prix ?
Sommes-nous vraiment plus heureuses ? Et surtout, rendons-nous les gens quinous entourent plus heureux ? N'est-ce pas un hasard si le féminisme, larévolution sexuelle et les luttes pour l'égalité ont fini par nous laisser plusseules et amères ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous devons nous libérer desschémas revendicatifs et comprendre à quel point c'est un grand privilèged'être des femmes, destinées par la nature à accueillir la vie, à se penchersur elle, sous quelque forme qu'elle se présente à notre porte.
Quelle grande aventure pour nous de devenir des épouses et des mères, à côté del'homme avec qui nous pouvons devenir une seule chair. Je ne parle pas de lafemme au foyer des années cinquante ; les nombreuses femmes que j'ai eu lachance de rencontrer sont des femmes accomplies même dans leur travail et mêmesi leurs conditions sont souvent difficiles, voire dramatiques ; pourtantelles sont devenues extraordinairement capables de vie, capables d'espérer contretoute espérance.Elles m'ont appris qu'être heureuse est possible, mais exigeun effort ; on peut se laisser aller là où notre coeur nous emmène, mais il fautaussi en appeler aux forces de l'esprit pour nous permettre d'accéder à ce lieusecret, où une vie plus féconde et plus épanouissante nous attend."Costanza Miriano -

Write Like a Chemist is a unique guide to chemistry-specific writing. Written with National Science Foundation support and extensively piloted in chemistry courses nationwide, it offers a structured approach to writing that targets four important chemistry genres: the journal article, conference abstract, scientific poster, and research proposal. Chemistry students, post-docs, faculty, and other professionals interested in perfecting their disciplinary writing will find it an indispensable reference. Users of the book will learn to write through a host of exercises, ranging in difficulty from correcting single words and sentences to writing professional-quality papers, abstracts, posters, and proposals.

Ecosystem Services in Agricultural and Urban Landscapes
Stephen Wratten, Harpinder Sandhu, Ross Cullen, Robert Costanza
- Wiley-blackwell
- 8 Janvier 2013
- 9781118506240
Ecosystem services are the resources and processes supplied by natural ecosystems which benefit humankind (for example, pollination of crops by insects, or water filtration by wetlands). They underpin life on earth, provide major inputs to many economic sectors and support our lifestyles. Agricultural and urban areas are by far the largest users of ecosystems and their services and (for the first time) this book explores the role that ecosystem services play in these managed environments. The book also explores methods of evaluating ecosystem services, and discusses how these services can be maintained and enhanced in our farmlands and cities. This book will be useful to students and researchers from a variety of fields, including applied ecology, environmental economics, agriculture and forestry, and also to local and regional planners and policy makers.

Community-based enterprises are the result of a process in which the community acts entrepreneurially to create and operate a new enterprise embedded in its existing social structure and network. This book argues that community-based enterprise could represent a strategy for fostering sustainable local development while at the same time maintaining traditional knowledge in ethnomedicine and conserving the local ecosystems.

Essentials of Vascular Surgery for the General Surgeon
Vivian Gahtan, Michael J. Costanza
- Springer
- 13 Octobre 2014
- 9781493913268
This volume provides a concise and up to date resource that directly addresses the needs of general surgeons who perform vascular surgery by focusing on the diagnosis and clinical management of common vascular conditions. The volume is divided into sections on arterial disease, venous disease, vascular trauma, and vascular access. Chapters on arterial disease outline the management and surgical techniques for the treatment of acute limb ischemia, compartment syndrome, and diabetic foot infections. Chronic arterial disease is addressed in chapters devoted to the management of claudication, critical limb ischemia, and lower extremity amputation. The section on vascular trauma emphasizes surgical intervention for blood vessel injuries that occur in the neck, abdomen, and extremity. Vascular access chapters deal with the technical aspects and potential complications of temporary venous access catheters and permanent arteriovenous access for hemodialysis. More complex vascular topics are also covered with chapters that are shorter in length and focused on the diagnosis and a broad understanding of treatment options.Essentials of Vascular Surgery for the General Surgeon is the first of its kind to accurately mirror the SCORE curriculum for vascular disease as a patient care topic in general surgery training, acting as a "one stop" information source that general surgery trainees can turn to as a clinical reference and as a study guide for general surgery in service exams and board.

National Supervision and Income Smoothing in Banks' Annual Reports

- Springer
- 17 Mai 2021
- 9783030740115
This book deals with the debated relationship between the characteristics of national supervision and manipulative practices in banks' annual reports, with a specific focus on income smoothing. The issue is quite challenging as, since the 2008 financial crisis, governmental bodies and regulators have stressed the crucial role of supervision for bank transparency purposes, but the effect of supervision on accounting manipulation is still discussed. Focusing on European banks, the book investigates whether the characteristics of national supervision affect bank propensity to smooth income, also considering the potential role of bank business models. By exploring a broad range of national supervision's characteristics, the book presents a comprehensive view on the influence of country-level institutional settings on a form of earnings management widely used across the banking industry.
