Book Description
An exploration of embodied intelligence and its implications points toward a theory of intelligence in general; with case studies of intelligent systems in ubiquitous computing, business and management, human memory, and robotics. How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment—in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies. This crucial notion of embodiment underlies fundamental changes in the field of artificial intelligence over the past two decades, and Pfeifer and Bongard use the basic methodology of artificial intelligence—"understanding by building"—to describe their insights. If we understand how to design and build intelligent systems, they reason, we will better understand intelligence in general. In accessible, nontechnical language, and using many examples, they introduce the basic concepts by building on recent developments in robotics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology to outline a possible theory of intelligence. They illustrate applications of such a theory in ubiquitous computing, business and management, and the psychology of human memory. Embodied intelligence, as described by Pfeifer and Bongard, has important implications for our understanding of both natural and artificial intelligence.

Book Description
Movable books are an innovative area of children’s publishing. Commonly equated with spectacular pop-ups, movable books have a little-known history as interactive, narrative media. Since they are hybrid artifacts consisting of words, images and movable components, they cross the borders between story, toy, and game. Interactive Books is a historical and comparative study of early movable books in relation to the children who engage with them. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh focuses on the period movable books became connected with children from the mid-17th to the early-19th centuries. In particular, she examines turn-up books, paper doll books, and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play set) produced between 1650 and 1830. Despite being popular in their own time, these artifacts are little known today. This study draws attention to a gap in our knowledge of children’s print culture by showing how these artifacts are important in their own right. Reid-Walsh combines archival research with children’s literature studies, book history, and juvenilia studies. By examining commercially produced and homemade examples, she explores the interrelations among children, interactive media, and historical participatory culture. By drawing on both Enlightenment thinkers and contemporary digital media theorists Interactive Books enables us to think critically about children’s media texts paper and digital, past and present.

Book Description
La critique simonienne s'est déjà penchée sur les rapports de l'oeuvre de Claude Simon à l'image, peinture ou photographie, mais le lien au cinéma n'a donné lieu qu'à peu d'études approfondies. Cette recherche met donc au jour les liens complexes de Claude Simon à l'image cinématographique et fait porter l'effort d'analyse sur ce dialogue toujours renouvelé entre écriture et réalisation filmique, afin de montrer dans quelle mesure le passage d'un langage à un autre influence notablement le processus créatif chez Claude Simon. L'écrivain a commencé à écrire un découpage pour l'adaptation de La Route des Flandres dès 1961, mais le projet n'a pas abouti. Ce que, dès lors, cet ouvrage tente de mettre en évidence c'est l'histoire d'un rendez-vous manqué dont la dynamique va pourtant enrichir toute une oeuvre littéraire.

Une humiliation d'autant plus forte pour les vaincus que les troupes envoyées sur le terrain sont constituées essentiellement de régiments de tirailleurs sénégalais que les Allemands dans leur grande majorité considèrent comme des sous-hommes et presque des bêtes.Le roman embrasse une période allant de 1880 à 1945, situe son intrigue essentiellement au Sénégal et en Allemagne. Un parcours semé d'embûches pour Simon Bobo dont le destin est lié à sa peau noire.
