• Folktales I INTRODUCTION "Little Red Riding Hood" The popular children's story "Little Red Riding

  seemed important to them. Thus, the Grimms postulated a common Indo-European origin for folktales, and the German philologist Theodor Benfey as well as theScottish writer William Clouston believed that stories diffused by way of travelers migrating east and west from India. Such theories, however, have proven incompleteand inadequate. Nevertheless, the research of these and other scholars greatly stimulated interest in folklore and folktales. The German scholar Max Muller held thatmyths originat...

  2.3. 2 Littérature érudite et chevaleresque La littérature satirique et historique s’épanouit particulièrement dans l’Espagne du XVe siècle. Les monarques Ferdinand V et Isabelle I re la Catholique encouragent durant leur règne (1474-1504) l’étude des humanités ; le savant le plus en vue de l’époque est d’ailleurs un grammairien et lexicographe, Antonio de Nebrija (ou Lebrija), qui rédige la Grammaire de la langue castillane (1492). C’est à cette époque également que le roman de chevalerie...

• Introduction à la philosophie

  dialogue en confrontant les différents points de vue. La philosophie est en fait non seulement le fait de posséder un savoir, une connaissance, mais aussi une manière de vivre. Ainsi, Socrate est-il un homme vertueux et applique ses théories. « Ce dont il faut faire le plus de cas, ce n'est pas de vivre, mais de vivre bien ». Socrate. Parce qu'il gênait les sophistes, il a été condamné à mort. Plus tard, un de ses élèves a voulu laisser une trace de lui et de sa morale : il s'agit de Platon. Alo...

• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

  including the sacred style of church music and the so-called galant (courtly) idiom. The elegant though often superficial galant style dominated much instrumental music of the 1760s and 1770s. Mozart’s mastery often demonstrates itself in an ability to expand and deepen the stylistic possibilities of the time. The manner in which heextended the character and form of the concerto, for instance, owes much to his experience in writing operatic arias. A Musical Expressiveness In the masterful Je...

• transport.

  Un navire est improductif lorsqu’il est immobilisé dans un port. La réduction de ces temps morts a d’abord été obtenue par l’accélération des opérations de manutention grâce à l’unitisation des charges, qui permet l’automatisation du chargement et du déchargement. D’autre part, dans le transport maritime, une large partie des coûts est affectée aux échanges dans les ports. On a donc cherché à les réduire au minimum en supprimant les ruptures de charge de la marchandise entre les différents modes...

  additional territorial grabs. The most significant of these rules stated that colonial powers were obligated to notify each other when they claimed African territory.Further, subsequent “effective occupation” of the claimed area was necessary for the claim to remain valid. Through it all, as Europeans negotiated their rights toAfrican territory, not a single African was present. Once the conference was over, it was clear that a European Scramble for African territories was underway. Southern Afr...

• Diving (underwater).

  compensator (or control) device (BCD or BC), which the diver wears as a vest. By adding air to the BCD, the diver becomes more buoyant and rises. By releasing air,the diver becomes less buoyant and sinks. With minor adjustments of air, the diver can achieve neutral buoyancy. A third hose attaches to pressure gauges that diversuse to monitor how much air remains in the tank. A fourth hose attaches to a backup breathing device called an alternate air source, or octopus. Divers also wear a belt w...

  III PEOPLE Most people living in the UAE (known as Emiris) are Arabs, a large majority of whom are city and town dwellers. A small number are nomadic (having no permanent home).

• Arctic - Geography.

  The Arctic is not a frozen desert devoid of life on land or sea, even during the cold, dark winter months. Spring brings a phenomenal resurgence of plant and animal life.Low temperatures are not always the critical element—moisture, the type of soil, and available solar energy are also extremely important. Some animals adapt well toArctic conditions; for instance, a number of species of mammals and birds carry additional insulation, such as fat, in cold months. Arctic summers with extended dayli...

• GALAXIES Les galaxies sont des systèmes constitués de centaines de milliards d'étoiles et de gaz situé entre les étoiles, appelé milieu interstellaire.

  2 Les bras contiennent la plupart de l’activité de formation stellaire. Le bras le plus long de la Galaxie a une longueur totale d’environ 125 000 années-lumière. Si nous pouvions l’observer par la tranche, la Galaxie nous apparaîtrait comme un énorme fuseau brillant entouré d’une vague luminosité et coupé en son centre par une bande sombre, qui la divise en deux grands fleuves d’étoiles parallèles. Cet effet est dû à l’absorption de la lumière des étoiles par la poussière interstellaire concen...

The practice of giving dowries has been common in countries such as Greece, Egypt, India, and China from ancient times until thepresen...

• Planetary Science - astronomy.

  III ORIGINS AND COMPOSITIONS OF PLANETS Astronomers believe that planetary systems are formed of elemental materials that were created in the interiors of giant stars. Some of this material comes from giantstars that shed material into space as they age. Most of the matter to form planets, however, comes from stars that explode as supernovas and spread debris enrichedwith the heavier chemical elements into space. According to the currently accepted views, the most likely first stage in the evo...

They believed that the working class—with its struggles to organize trade unions and to bring about political reforms of benefit to the majority ofpeople—would become the primary force for revolutionary change.

The faction called the Bolsheviks (from the Russian word for “majority”), led by Vladimir Ilich Lenin, favored a more centralized a...

• Cambodia - country.

  The population of Cambodia is 14,241,640 (2008 estimate). Population growth per year is estimated at 1.8 percent, one of the highest rates in Asia. The rate of infantmortality is also high. The population density is 81 persons per sq km (209 per sq mi), with the densest concentrations on the heavily cultivated central plain. Themountainous regions of the country, where malaria is widespread, are thinly populated, as are the poorly watered northern provinces. During the late 1970s, under thebruta...

Perceived inequities in the distribution of wealth and political power have led some terrorists to attempt tooverthrow democratically elected governments. To achieve a fairer society, they would replace these governments with socialist or communist regimes.

• Mars (planet) - astronomy.

  The Martian core is probably much like Earth’s, consisting mostly of iron, with a small amount of nickel. If other light elements, particularly sulfur, exist there as well, thecore may be larger than presently thought. From studying Earth’s magnetic field and core, scientists theorize that the motions of the liquid rock in Earth’s core generateits magnetic field. Mars does not have a significant magnetic field, so scientists believe that Mars’s core is probably solid. However, spacecraft data in...
