Book Description
Philip, who ruled from 1419 to 1467, was one of the most powerful and influential rulers of the fifteenth century. Forced into an alliance with the English, he soon found that he held the balance of power between England and France - reflected in the final crucial phase of the Hundred Years War. Under Philip the Good, grandson of the founder of the duchy's power, Burgundy reached its apogee. Professor Vaughan portrays not only Philip the Good himself, perhaps the most attractive personality among the four great dukes, butthe workings of the court and of one of the most efficent - if not necessarily the most popular - administrations in fifteenth-century Europe. The complex diplomatic history of Philip the Good's long ducal reign (1419-1467) occupies much of the book, in particular Burgundy's relations with England and France. The central theme is Philip the Good's policy of territorial and personal aggrandisement, which culminated in his negotiations with the Holy Roman Emperor for a crown. And due attention is given to the great flowering of artistic life in Burgundy which made Philip's court at Dijon an important cultural centre in the period immediately preceding the Renaissance. All this is based on the close study of the considerable surviving archives of Philip's civil service, and on the chronicles and letters of the period. Philip the Good provides a definitive study of the life and times of the rulerwhose position and achievements made him the greatest magnate in Europe during what has been called "the Burgundian century".

Book Description
" In 1934, Nancy Cunard published Negro: An Anthology, which brought together more than two hundred contributions, serving as a plea for racial justice, an exposé of black oppression, and a hymn to black achievement and endurance. The anthology stands as a virtual ethnography of 1930s racial, historic, artistic, political, and economic culture. Samuel Beckett, a close friend of the flamboyant and unconventional Cunard, translated nineteen of the contributions for Negro, constituting Beckett's largest single prose publication. Beckett traditionally has been viewed as an apolitical postmodernist rather than as a willing and major participant in Negro's racial, political, and aesthetic agenda. In Beckett in Black and Red, Friedman reevaluates Beckett's contribution to the project, reconciling the humanism of his life and work and valuing him as a man deeply engaged with the greatest public issues of his time. Cunard believed racial justice and equality could be achieved only through Communism, and thus ""black"" and ""red"" were inextricably linked in her vision. Beckett's contribution to Negro demonstrates his support for Cunard's interest in surrealism as well as her political causes, including international republicanism and anti-fascism. Only in recent years have Cunard's ideas begun to receive serious consideration. Beckett in Black and Red radically revalues Cunard and reconceives Beckett. His work in Negro shows a commitment to cultural and individual equality and worth that Beckett consistently demonstrated throughout his life, both in personal relationships and in his writing.

Book Description
Cet ouvrage propose une méthode de construction de schémas numériques de grande précision sur la base d'une analyse spectrale de l'erreur. Ces schémas sont appliqués à la propagation des ondes mais ils peuvent l'être à la résolution par différences finies de tout autre système d'équations aux dérivées partielles. Plusieurs formulations du problème continu sont exposées mais on retient la formulation en vitesses de déplacement et en contraintes. D'autre part, une analyse des caractéristiques des équations de la propagation conduit à faire une comparaison avec les caractéristiques des équations de la mécanique des fluides et d'indiquer les conditions de la filiation. La discrétisation des équations est basée sur les schémas en grilles décalées. On effectue des développements de Taylor à des ordres élevés et une analyse de l'erreur de discrétisation par transformée de Fourier. Puis, on introduit la notion d'approximation optimale en contraste avec les approximations basées sur l'erreur de troncature. Les schémas construits restent de type convolutif. Le calcul s'avère très efficace sur la base de l'erreur relative de discrétisation. L'algorithme de calcul des coefficients d'approximation optimale est fourni en Fortran dans une annexe. L'élévation de l'ordre en temps consiste à reporter le calcul des dérivées d'ordre élevé en temps sur des dérivées d'ordre élevé en espace. Enfin, l'analyse des conditions de stabilité et de dispersion est réalisée pour prendre en compte l'approximation optimale des dérivées pour des ordres élevés en espace et en temps.
