As Americans, we often take our many freedoms for granted. It is easy to forget the difficulties many of our ancestors faced when fighting for the rights we now enjoy. Because the United States is a "nation of laws and not of men," these people were able to challenge unfair laws in hope of a better future. Fights for Rights explains our everyday rights of free speech and religion, the rights of the accused, and how our Constitution guarantees these rights for all people, including women and African Americans.

"Literature and Society," a textbook designed for upper-level students, usually in their fourth year of studying Chinese, contains literary works and essays related to the social sciences. It reflects the social issues China has faced in recent years and represents a new approach to introducing students to various aspects of Chinese society. The textbook contains two sections. The first, entitled "Literature," includes works by Lu Xun, Lin Yutang, Liang Shiqiu, Wang Li, Xie Bingying, and Wang Meng. The selections include essays, short stories, and one play. Each selection reflects a different side of Chinese life, from offering hospitality to guests and haggling over prices to philosophical issues. The second section of the textbook, entitled "Society," includes essays by Fei Xiaotong, Ma Yinchu, Wu Han, Liang Sicheng, and Chen Hengzhe. These works cover six issues: marriage and family, population and ethics, urbanization, intellectuals, minorities, and the preservation of ancient architecture in a modern city. The textbook provides a brief introduction to each author and discussion questions at the end of each piece.

L'ouvrage traite des fondements de la mecanique des milieux continus en grandes transformations. Les elements et theories usuels sont presentes. Une modelisation originale de l'etat de deformation est proposee. Elle ne s'identifie ni a une mesure de deformation contingente ni au classique tenseur metrique. La theorie materielle fondee sur cette variable d'etat non tensorielle est intrinseque et coherente avec les elements incontestes de l'approche eulerienne. Les theories materielles usuelles (lagrangiennes, en rotation, ...) en sont des approximations dont la pertinence est etudiee. Ce livre est susceptible d'interesser aussi bien les etudiants de troisieme cycle en mecanique ou en mathematiques appliquees que les chercheurs et ingenieurs."

This book paints a picture of the position of French children in the Middle Ages, supported by a large number of quotations from historical French documents. Several domains of children's lives are touched upon, for instance baptism, mortality, clothing and punishment, leading to a discussion of the role of the children in the family as well as in society. The children, not being the central theme of the documents themselves are nevertheless, in the author's opinion, the main concern of this book: though often considered "small grown-ups" by society, the world usually regarded them as what they were: children.

"A Classical Chinese Reader is the result of many years of teaching at the University of Sydney. When I first started teaching, there was little to help the undergraduate student embarking on the study of Classical Chinese. In response to student pleas, I started to provide vocabularies and grammatical notes and finally decided to publish my notes." --From the Preface
