Couplage « mécanique – microstructure – corrosion »
Couplage « mécanique – microstructure – corrosion »
Couplage « mécanique – microstructure – corrosion » : concepts, essais, modélisation et cas concrets regroupe les cours dispensés lors de l’école thématique CNRS « M2Corr » (2018). Des experts, issus de différents établissements universitaires et de secteurs industriels variés, y analysent l’état de l’art des développements scientifiques et technologiques relatifs à la durabilité des matériaux et des structures soumis à des sollicitations mécaniques et environnementales couplées ou découplées. Les aspects expérimentaux, théoriques et numériques sont abordés à différentes échelles. Cet ouvrage offre à ses lecteurs les outils et les démarches scientifiques les plus avancés qui permettent d’appréhender les phénomènes de couplage via la compréhension des mécanismes associés, et d’identifier les variables du premier ordre parmi celles liées à l’état mécanique, au matériau ou à l’environnement chimique. Ils leur permettent également de proposer des stratégies rendant possible la maîtrise et/ou l’allongement de la durée de vie des structures en situation de couplage multiprocessus.

Latham
Latham
Dans une exposition à Paris, une femme tombe sous le charme d’une photographie : un jeune homme fume une cigarette au loin sur les fl ots, sur un étrange radeau. C’est Hubert Latham, un des pionniers de l’aviation, dandy et aventurier du siècle dernier, perdant superbe qui échoua, sourire aux lèvres, dans la traversée de la Manche. Le « livre autour du rêve de voler » peut s’écrire. Les recherches de la narratrice autour de Latham, qui l’accompagne comme un ami intime, vont la conduire à Sangatte. Sangatte d’où Latham avait choisi de s’envoler, devenu aujourd’hui le symbole du destin contrarié, de l’impossibilité de traverser, du sort cruel des migrants condamnés à l’immobilité. À travers la fi gure romanesque de Latham, Christine Lapostolle nous livre une méditation empreinte de poésie et de nostalgie sur les rêves de liberté brisés et les destins humains.

Wine Simple
Wine Simple
From the world-renowned sommelier Aldo Sohm, a dynamic, essential wine guide for a new generation NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FOOD52 Aldo Sohm is one of the most respected and widely lauded sommeliers in the world. He's worked with celebrated chef Eric Ripert as wine director of three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin for over a decade, yet his philosophy and approach to wine is much more casual. Aldo's debut book, Wine Simple, is full of confidence-building infographics and illustrations, an unbeatable depth of knowledge, effusive encouragement, and, most important, strong opinions on wine so you can learn to form your own. Imbued with Aldo's insatiable passion and eagerness to teach others, Wine Simple is accessible, deeply educational, and lively and fun, both in voice and visuals. This essential guide begins with the fundamentals of wine in easy-to-absorb hits of information and pragmatic, everyday tips—key varietals and winemaking regions, how to taste, when to save and when to splurge, and how to set up a wine tasting at home. Aldo then teaches you how to take your wine knowledge to the next level and evolve your palate, including techniques on building a “flavor library,” a cheat sheet to good (and great) vintages (and why you shouldn't put everything on the line for them), tips on troubleshooting tricky wines (corked? mousy?), and, for the daring, even how to saber a bottle of champagne. This visual, user-friendly approach will inspire readers to have the confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm to taste smarter, drink boldly, and dive headfirst fearlessly into the exciting world of wine.
