Book Description
Les petits objets font parfois de grandes révolutions. Ainsi la télécommande, que nos enfants manipulent avec virtuosité, développe-t-elle chez eux un sentiment de toute-puissance connectés directement au monde, ils décident de ce qu'ils veulent voir et, à terme, risquent de faire de l'univers tout entier un objet de leurs caprices. Sidérés, les jeunes restent scotchés à l'écran et pataugent dans l'infantile dont les parents, les enseignants et, plus largement, tous les éducateurs devraient justement les aider à se libérer... C'est sur cette toile de fond que Philippe Meirieu, à travers les entretiens qu'il a eus avec Jacques Liesenborghs, revisite les étapes décisives de l'éducation : de l'enfant-roi qui doit renoncer au passage à l'acte immédiat, à l'élève que l'Ecole doit former à la reconnaissance de l'altérité et à l'exigence de vérité, jusqu'au citoyen qui doit pouvoir se libérer de toute forme d'emprise et s'associer librement avec d'autres. Sans se complaire dans la nostalgie passéiste ni excommunier quiconque, sans éluder les rapports complexes entre l'école, les familles et le tissu social, cet ouvrage explique comment chacun peut, dans son domaine, aider l'enfant à grandir aujourd'hui. Loin de tout fatalisme, il propose des pistes concrètes, tant pour l'action quotidienne des parents, enseignants et éducateurs, que pour l'action politique qui ne peut plus ignorer les défis éducatifs de notre temps. Autant dire qu'il concerne aussi bien les parents et les professeurs que tous les citoyens soucieux de l'avenir...

Book Description

A glimpse into the unique and changing identities in an ever-changing world." -- Come-All-Ye Fourteen interdisciplinary essays open new perspectives for understanding African societies and cultures through the contextualized study of objects, treating everything from the production of material objects to the meaning of sticks, masquerades, household tools, clothing, and the television set in the contemporary repertoire of African material culture.

Book Description
In 1969 the U.S. Air Force issued a statement that read' "No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security." This statement is patently false. It has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the U.S. Air Force was fully aware. Unidentified details many of these testimonies, some for the first time. As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. Unidentified reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. For the first time, Unidentified publishes evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report.

Book Description
An Apollo 11 astronaut and the Nebula Award–nominated author of Directive 51 present a novel that “conveys the wonder and promise of space” (Publishers Weekly). Born the year of the Moon landing, Chris Terence spends his life fighting to return humanity to that pinnacle. An engineering student with dreams of spaceflight, he finds upon graduation that the United States no longer has need for astronauts. Years of bureaucratic meddling have reduced the space program to a shell of itself, and it will take the greatest scientific find in history to send humanity skyward once more. After years battling budget hawks, Chris finally gets his chance to walk on the Moon. While there, he finds evidence of an ancient alien civilization, the Tiberians, who visited Earth’s satellite eight thousand years before. Understanding what happened to those long-forgotten travelers will define the lives of Chris and his son, as they fight against all odds to unlock the secrets of the universe. “The collaboration of the first man to pilot a moon lander (Aldrin) with a major voice in contemporary science fiction (Barnes) has produced a fascinating chronicle of man’s first encounter with alien intelligence” (Booklist).
