NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS (EN ANGLAIS)
Située sur l'île de la Cité, Notre-Dame de Paris fut construite en deux siècles et se dresse dans la capitale française depuis plus d'un millénaire. Au fil de son histoire, Notre-Dame de Paris a été le témoin de couronnements, de révolutions et de destructions. La cathédrale a aussi connu des périodes d'abandon et a récemment subi un terrible incendie qui a menacé de la détruire entièrement. Ce livre animé fournit des informations sur l'architecture, l'histoire et l'importance culturelle que l'édifice a revêtue depuis sa construction jusqu'à nos jours. De magnifiques pop-up reproduisent en 3D tant l'extérieur que l'intérieur de l'édifice et une superbe gargouille, tous ces éléments dévoilant leur éclatante beauté grâce aux créations très élaborées du spécialiste de l'ingénierie papier David Hawcok, appuyées par des textes descriptifs d'une grande qualité.
Why Only Us: Language and Evolution (The MIT Press)
Berwick and Chomsky draw on recent developments in linguistic theory to offer an evolutionary account of language and humans' remarkable, species-specific ability to acquire it.“A loosely connected collection of four essays that will fascinate anyone interested in the extraordinary phenomenon of language.”—New York Review of BooksWe are born crying, but those cries signal the first stirring of language. Within a year or so, infants master the sound system of their language: a few years after that, they are engaging in conversations. This remarkable, species-specific ability to acquire any human language—“the language faculty”—raises important biological questions about language, including how it has evolved. This book by two distinguished scholars—a computer scientist and a linguist—addresses the enduring question of the evolution of language.Robert Berwick and Noam Chomsky explain that until recently the evolutionary question could not be properly posed, because we did not have a clear idea of how to define “language” and therefore what it was that had evolved. But since the Minimalist Program, developed by Chomsky and others, we know the key ingredients of language and can put together an account of the evolution of human language and what distinguishes us from all other animals.Berwick and Chomsky discuss the biolinguistic perspective on language, which views language as a particular object of the biological world: the computational efficiency of language as a system of thought and understanding: the tension between Darwin's idea of gradual change and our contemporary understanding about evolutionary change and language: and evidence from nonhuman animals, in particular vocal learning in songbirds.

Existentialism and Humanism
Over the past sixty years the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre have probably been more influential in the West than those of any other philosopher and literary figure. In his theoretical writings, Sartre laid the foundation for an original doctrine of Existentialism. His concern, however, was to relate his theory to human response and the practical demands of living. To achieve this, he carried his philosophical concepts into his novels and plays, and there subjected them to the test of imagined experience. His uniqueness lies in the success with which he demonstrated the utility of Existentialist doctrine while creating, at the same time, works of the highest literary merit. Thus Sartre became the populariser of his own literary thought. Originally delivered as a lecture in Paris in 1945, "Existentialism and Humanism" is Jean-Paul Sartre's seminal defence of Existentialism as a doctrine true to Humanism, as opposed to a purely nihilistic creed, and a plan for its practical application to everyday human life. This exploration of one of the central tenets of his philosophical thought has become the essential introduction to his work, and a fundamental text for all students of philosophy.
