LA BIBLIOTHEQUE ELECTRONIQUE DE LISIEUX ithèque Free Culture : Traduction française du livre de Lawrence Lessig en cours... - Présentation de Livres Préface (extrait) Le titre et la plus grande partie de mon argumentation sont inspirés du travail de Richard Stallman et de la Free Software Foundation. A vrai dire, quand je relis le travail de Stallman, et plus particulièrement les essais dans Free Software, Free Society, je me rends compte que toutes les idées théoriques que je développe ici sont des idées que Stallman a décrites voilà des décennies. Il serait donc légitime d’affirmer que ce travail est un "simple" travail dérivé. J’accepte cette critique, si du moins c’en est vraiment une. Comme les arguments de Stallman pour le logiciel libre, le plaidoyer pour une culture libre achoppe sur une confusion qui est difficile à éviter, et même encore plus difficile à comprendre. La culture libre que je défends dans ce livre est un équilibre entre l’anarchie et le contrôle total. L’introduction (texte intégral) En 1945, ces questions donnèrent lieu à un procès fédéral. La Cour suprême accepta d’entendre le cas des Causby.

Ebook Search - Pdf Search Engine 101 Killer Open Courseware Projects from Around the World: Ivy L How will you obtain a higher education? Some major headlines in 2009 already play on the fears about how to pay for a higher education. Press releases from colleges want to quell those fears about monies for college, and politicians have introduced legislation to make education more affordable. The desire to lure students into college is strong across the globe, and many colleges have learned that education no longer belongs to a select few who can afford a degree. “Flat education,” or education provided for the masses via the Internet has become commonplace over the past few years, and open courseware projects abound on the Web. The following list of 100 open courseware projects are designed to offer readers access to supplementary materials for education.

Jean-Paul ROCHER, Editeur Jules Chauvet, disparu en 1989 à l'âge de 82 ans, sans fonder de famille, nous laisse un exemple rare de modestie, de probité intellectuelle, de dévouement à la cause scientifique. Alors que sa position de négociant en vins lui commandait de veiller au profit de l'affaire familiale, il n'a surtout vécu que pour l'étude, la correspondance avec la fine fleur du monde universitaire, la recherche pure et l'expérimentation (pour cette dernière, il ne reculait pas à mettre en jeu sa propre récolte). En dépit de cet engagement total toujours générateur d'isolement - engagement qu'il qualifiait lui-même de " sacerdoce ", Jules Chauvet était resté viscéralement attaché à son pays (le Beaujolais), à sa maison, à ses vignes, à ses viticulteurs proches (auxquels il prodiguait inlassablement ses conseils aux heures critiques). Il était aidé dans sa connaissance du vin par un sens olfactif hors du commun, qui lui a inspiré des " notes de dégustation " impérissables.

Booklover Recently (as in the past year and a half) I have been in a reading slump. I read here and there but haven’t been striving to read as much. This is kinda silly as I am studying Creative Writing and should be reading every day, thriving on literature. This hasn’t really kicked in yet.So, I would like to offer a prize? rather a you help me, I help you? THOUGHT PATTERNS: Bookstores I used to work in a smallish independent bookstore and it was truly one of the best jobs I ever had. To be surrounded by endless glorious volumes, to enter every morning into this multicolored world of words and pictures was truly a pleasure. I loved rearranging shelves (endlessly), lining up the books this way and that. One of my favorite things, though, was ordering books for the store (it almost completely fulfilled my shopping urges, mind you, I would always overdo it with the order :), and then anticipating eagerly their arrival. Books on photography, design, fashion, art... it would take me hours and hours to find their right spot in the bookstore, to display them properly, to sneak careful peeks through the pages. There are plenty of bookstore gems in the world and I do hope they will persevere (one of them is City Lights, which I am happy to be able to call my neighborhood bookstore), but the most charming one is Shakespeare & Co. How absolutely thrilling. xoxoxo
