Document from the year 2010 in the subject Biology - Zoology, , language: English, abstract: Abstract The habitat of the four extant hyena species covers all of Africa and large parts of Asia. Hyenas living in this enormous area have been described by local and western observers for more than 2000 years. Many names have been given to the hyenas in the wide range of languages in which they have been described and several legends and wrong ideas about hyenas have also been spread. In the present study we want to retrace how the wrong perceptions about the hyena, the "histoires absurdes" as Comte de Buffon has called them, developed and how they were overcome by several scholars in a protracted process. Due to their research work we know today that the mysterious animal "hyaena" comprises four species which together build up the Hyaenidae family. We will start by introducing these species shortly (chap. 2). Thereafter we return to the beginning of the hyena history and outline the classical Greco-Roman reports on the hyena and how until the Renaissance and beyond these modelled the occidental perceptions of this animal (chap. 3). Then we examine how the single members of the Hyaenidae family were discovered, described and named by later naturalists and zoologists. In chronological order these were the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena), the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), the brown hyena (Parahyaena brunnea) and finally the aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) (chap. 4 and 5). Special attention is paid to the first zoological description of the striped hyena by the traveller and naturalist Engelbert Kaempfer from the end of the 17th century. The value of this widely unknown report lies in the fact that it actually made the breakthrough to overcome the confused and puzzling ideas about the hyena which had prevailed up to that time (chap. 4). We conclude our survey with a chapter on "imaginary" hyenas in which we deal with animals that have been mistaken for real hyenas. In one

The central aim of this book is to understand modules and the categories they form through associated structures and dimensions, which reflect the complexity of these, and similar, categories. The structures and dimensions considered arise particularly through the application of model-theoretic and functor-category ideas and methods. Purity and associated notions are central, localization is an ever-present theme and various types of spectrum play organizing roles. This book presents a unified, coherent account of material which is often presented from very different viewpoints and clarifies the relationships between these various approaches.

For a thorough study of the dynamics of particular brain compounds it is now possible to use and combine various molecular neuroanatomical methods (e.g. in situ hybridization, receptor localisation and immunocytochemistry) in a quantitative way on whole brain sections maintaining morphological details. Molecular Neuroanatomy deals with the many practical aspects and recent developments in these areas. The theoretical background of many techniques is presented, as well as clear, step-by-step instructions on the preparation and application of all the methods and techniques described in this book. It will be invaluable to all those working in the field of neuroscience. Available in both hardback and paperback, with colour illustrations.

Dans Matière et mémoire, son deuxième grand livre (1896), Bergson montre comment notre mode de connaissance habituel, fondé sur l’espace, nous masque l’essence de l’esprit, celle de la matière, et leurs relations. On croit que l’esprit est fait d’éléments isolés (d’où une stricte localisation cérébrale) : c’est un acte temporel. On croit que la matière est faite d’objets séparés : c’est un ensemble de mouvements, même si notre corps en isole des « images ». Dans les deux cas, l’espace nous masque la durée. Solution originale au problème classique du dualisme, appuyée sur une discussion scientifique et métaphysique, ce livre est essentiel  dans cette oeuvre, dans son temps, et aujourd’hui encore.

Ce livre recense toutes les œuvres connues à ce jour de Camille Claude l. Chaque œuvre est accompagnée d’une illustration et il est indiqué s a datation, la nature du matériau utilisé pour sa réalisation (plâtre, bronze, terre, marbre, papier, toile, ...), la dimension de l’œuvre, sa provenance et sa localisation. Chaque œuvre est suivie d’un bref co mmentaire. La plupart des œuvres présentées peuvent être admirées dans de nombreu x musées tant en France qu’à l’étranger; le musée de Nogent-sur-Seine, le plus important, présente près de 70 œuvres. En tout une quarantain e de musées à travers le monde présentent des œuvres de Camille!?
