Excerpt: Horace François Bastien Sébastiani de La Porta (Corsican: ; 11 November 1771 20 July 1851) was a French soldier, diplomat, and politician, who served as Naval Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of State under the July Monarchy. Joining the French Revolutionary Army in his youth, he rose in its ranks and became a supporter of Napoleon Bonaparte. Sébastiani was the French Consulate's emissary to the Levant, notably drafting plans to reconquer Ottoman Egypt, and later served as the Empire's Ambassador to the Porte. In the latter capacity, he attempted to increase French influence and signaled pro-Russian activities in the Danubian Principalities, thus provoking the War of 18061812. In 1807, Sébastiani organized the defense of Istanbul during the Dardanelles Operation. Recalled on British pressures after the deposition of Seli...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=850121 ...

Extrait : Le vicomte Alfred de Vergnette de Lamotte, né le 5 juillet 1806 à Beaune (Côte-d'Or) où il est mort le 25 mai 1886, est surtout connu par ses travaux sur le vin : en reprenant la découverte de Nicolas Appert, il proposa le chauffage du vin pour éviter une perte de qualité. Louis Pasteur le rencontra et prit connaissance de ses travaux ; il minimisa cependant l'apport de ses recherches et son expérience. Ainsi, quand il publia ses travaux sur les moyens de conservation du vin, Pasteur s'attribua dans un premier temps l'antériorité de la découverte du chauffage du vin, puis rendit justice à Nicolas Appert. Fils d'Hubert de Vergnette de Lamotte et d'Elisabeth de Montille, il fait ses études au collège Monge de Beaune, puis à Paris, au collège Charlemagne et à l'institution Massin, à partir de 1822. En novembre 1826, il entre à l'École Polytechnique, le premier de sa promotion. Il a la chance de recevoir l'enseignement de professeurs prestigieux, entre autres François Arago comme professeur d'analyse appliquée à la géométrie, de géodésie et d'arithmétique sociale, Augustin Louis Cauchy comme professeur d'analyse (mathématiques) et de mécanique ainsi que Louis Joseph Gay-Lussac comme professeur de chimie. Pendant son séjour à Paris, de 1826 à 1832, il fréquente les salons de la comtesse de Narbonne et celui du baron de Ballainvilliers. Ensuite il sort de l'Ecole des Mines avec le diplôme d'ingénieur.

Excerpt:Alain Badiou Alain Badiou Pronunciation (help ·info ) (born 17 January 1937 in Rabat , Morocco ) is a prominent French philosopher , formerly chair of philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS). Along with Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj i ek , Badiou is a prominent figure in an anti-postmodern strand of continental philosophy . Badiou seeks to recover the concepts of being , truth and the subject in a way that, he claims, is neither postmodern nor simply a repetition of modernity . Politically, Badiou is committed to the far left , and to the Marxist tradition. Biography Badiou was trained formally as a philosopher as a student at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) from 1956 to 1961, a period during which he took courses at the Sorbonne . He was politically active very early on, and was one of the founding members of the Unified Socialist Party (PSU). The PSU was particularly active in the struggle for the decolonization of Algeria . He wrote his first novel, Almagestes , in 1964. In 1967 he joined a study group organized by Louis Althusser and grew increasingly influenced by Jacques Lacan . The student uprisings of May 1968 reinforced Badiou's commitment to the far Left , and he participated in increasingly radical communist and Maoist groups, such as the UCFML. In 1969 he joined the faculty of University of Paris ... ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Gaspard Monge, Comte de Péluse (9 May 1746 28 July 1818) was a French mathematician and inventor of descriptive geometry. He was born at Beaune, Côte-d'Or. He was first educated at the college of the Oratorians at Beaune, and then in their college at Lyon - where, at sixteen, the year after he had been learning physics, he was made a teacher of it. Returning to Beaune for a vacation, he made, on a large scale, a plan of the town, inventing the methods of observation and constructing the necessary instruments; the plan was presented to the town, and preserved in their library. An officer of engineers seeing it wrote to recommend Monge to the commandant of the military school at Mézières, and he was received as a draftsman and pupil in the practical school attached to that institution; the school itself was of too aristocratic a character to allow his admission to it. His manual skill was duly appreciated: "I was a thousand times tempted," he said long afterwards, "to tear up my drawings in disgust at the esteem in which they were held, as if I had been good for nothing better." An opportunity, however, presented itself: being required to work out from data supplied to him the defilading défflement of a proposed fortress (an operation then only performed by a long arithmetical process), Monge, substituting for this a geometrical method, obtained the result so quickly that the commandant at first refused to receive it - the time necessary for the work had not been taken; but upon examination the value of the discovery was recognized, and the method was adopted. And Monge, continuing his researches,...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=77840 ... Read more
