Book Description
Albine De Montholon, mistress of Napoleon to the island of St. Helena from 1815 to 1819, is the protagonist of this new novel of the series of Alain and Juliette. Returned in France in 1819 Albine fails in her purpose: to find some French politician willing to intervene with the British government to mitigate the exile of Napoleon, allowing to spend in a place less inhospitable than St. Helena. Become, instead, the mistress of a former Navy medical officer: Dr. Nicolas De Blegny, friend of the Colonel Alain de Soissons, by the time, in 1804, in which he was the doctor of the Coast Guard station in Calais, led by Alain... NEW EDITION FOR KINDLE..."
Book Description
En 1804, on découvre une tentative de coup d'état contre Napoléon, qui à cette époque-là occupait le poste de premier consul. La responsabilité d'avoir organisé la conspiration est attribuée à Louis-Antoine Henri de Bourbon, dernier descendant de la famille Condé et duc D'Enghien, qui vivait en exil à Baden et qui avait été enlevé par les services secrets françaises de l'époque, à fin d'être jugé à Paris par un tribunal militaire, présidé par le général Pierre Augustin Hulin. Le duc se proclamera toujours innocent, mais il sera quand même condamné à l'exécution. «Le Port de Calais » est une reconstitution de l'événement, présentée par un point de vue insolite, celui du comte Alain De Soissons, colonel de la Marine Française et cousin du duc D'Enghien, qui ne sera pas impliqué directement dans le procès, mais qui pourrait avoir eu, dans l'événement, un rôle plus marquant de ce qu'on avait cru jusqu'ici.

Book Description
The world has witnessed extraordinary economic growth, poverty reduction and increased life expectancy and population since the end of WWII, but it has occurred at the expense of undermining life support systems on Earth and subjecting future generations to the real risk of destabilising the planet. This timely book exposes and explores this colossal environmental cost and the dangerous position the world is now in. Standing up for a Sustainable World is written by and about key individuals who have not only understood the threats to our planet, but also become witness to them and confronted them.

Book Description
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. How can Archaeology help us understand our contemporary world? This ground-breaking book reflects on material, visual and digital culture from the Calais “Jungle” – the informal camp where, before its destruction in October 2016, more than 10,000 displaced people lived. LANDE: The Calais 'Jungle' and Beyond reassesses how we understand ‘crisis’, activism, and the infrastructure of national borders in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, foregrounding the politics of environments, time, and the ongoing legacies of empire. Introducing a major collaborative exhibit at Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum, the book argues that an anthropological focus on duration, impermanence and traces of the most recent past can recentre the ongoing human experiences of displacement in Europe today.
