Tout au long de sa carrière comme général, consul et empereur, Napoléon Bonaparte a incarné cette ambition de la France à établir une hégémonie mondiale à laquelle l’Angleterre prétendait elle aussi. Sur un fond de confrontation idéologique, l’un pouvait compter sur sa puissance militaire et démographique, l’autre sur sa domination maritime et commerciale. Faute d’accord négocié durable, la solution devait s’imposer par la force, ce qui signifiait pour l’un comme pour l’autre d’aller vaincre l’adversaire de l’autre côté de la Manche ou sur l’une des mers du globe où s’étendait leur puissance. L’invasion du territoire britannique avait été préparée sans succès à plusieurs reprises par la monarchie française, avant que la France révolutionnaire ne l’envisage à son tour. En 1798 et en 1801, Bonaparte s’inscrit dans cette continuité pour une entreprise dont il mesure rapidement tous les risques. C’est après la rupture de la paix d’Amiens (mai 1803) qu’il prépare avec le plus de soin cet affrontement décisif que l’ampleur des préparatifs et les aléas de la politique nationale et internationale reculent sans cesse. Ce n’est qu’en 1805 que l’empereur, nous le verrons dans le second volume, semble au plus près de relever le défi. La « pirouette » finale, vers le cœur du continent, de la Grande Armée rassemblée sur les côtes de la Manche, puis le désastre de Trafalgar ne marqueront cependant pas l’abandon définitif du projet de « descente » en Angleterre. Napoléon a compris que sans la reconstitution d’une flotte de guerre puissante, il ne pourrait atteindre son objectif. Pour cela il lui faudrait du temps et la paix continentale…

In this radical reinterpretation of the Financial Revolution, Craig Muldrew redefines our understanding of capitalism as a socially constructed set of institutions and beliefs. Financial institutions, including the Bank of England and the stock market, were just one piece of the puzzle. Alongside institutional developments, changes in local credit networks involving better accounting, paper notes and increased mortgaging were even more important. Muldrew argues that, before a society can become capitalist, most of its members have to have some engagement with 'capital' as a thing a form of stored intangible financial value. He shows how previous oral interpersonal credit was transformed into capital through the use of accounting and circulating paper currency, socially supported by changing ideas about the self which stressed individual savings and responsibility. It was only through changes throughout society that the framework for a concept like capitalism could exist and make sense. Autorid: Craig Muldrew

In these highly-candid radio interviews, more than fifty legendary, larger-than-life personalities trade anecdotes about the Golden Age of science fiction. Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, Margaret Atwood, Fritz Leiber, Frank Herbert, Frank Kelly Freas, and many more, depict the wild personalities, sparks of contention, and vivid imagination that made science fiction thrive.Today, depictions of aliens, rocket ships, and awe-inspiring, futuristic space operas are everywhere. Why is there so much science fiction, and where did it come from anyway? Radio producer and author Richard Wolinsky has found answers in the Golden Age of science fiction, between 1920 and 1960.Wolinsky and his fellow writers and co-hosts Richard A. Lupoff and Lawrence Davidson, interviewed a veritable whos who of famous (and infamous) science-fiction publishers, pulp magazines, editors, cover artists, and fans. The interviews themselves, which aired on the public radio, Probabilities, span over twenty years, from just before the release of Star Wars through the dawn of Y2K. Probabilities was the home of a vivid cross-section of the early science fiction world, with radio guests offering a wide range of tales, opinions, theory, and gossip. It speaks to how, in the early days, they were free to define science fiction for themselves and push the genre to explore new ideas and new tropes in creative (and sometimes questionable) ways. Space Ships! Ray Guns! Martian Octopods! is ultimately a love letter to fandom. Science fiction wouldnt have survived as a genre if there werent devoted fanatics who wrote fanzines, organized conventions, and built relationships for fandom to flourish.
