  Sleep and dreams

  What if dreams were not a mystical enigma, but a living laboratory of the mind? In “Sleep and Dreams,” Alfred Maury, a pioneer of experimental psychology in the 19th century, conducts a fascinating investigation into what happens when consciousness falters: the genesis of dreams, the sequencing of images, the role of memory, hypnagogic illusions, nightmares, sleepwalking, ecstasy, hypnotism, intoxication, delirium… Nothing is left to chance. An indefatigable observer of himself, Maury multiplies experiments and precise accounts (induced awakenings, sensory stimuli during sleep, correspondences between real sensations and dream scenes) to dismantle the mechanics of dreaming and its close links with the body, the senses, and memory. As the pages unfold, the boundaries blur between dream, madness, and genius: the mind associates through assonance, amplifies impressions, creates believable hallucinations, and sometimes reveals forgotten memories. Clear, methodical, and often surprising, this classic brings psychology, physiology, and captivating testimonies into dialogue. For anyone who questions imagination, consciousness, or the mystery of the night, it is a foundational, bold, and strikingly modern work — to be heard as a scientific and intimate adventure where the dream learns to speak.

  What steps are needed to make life better and more convivial? The Second Convivialist Manifesto (2020) has presented a short diagnosis of the current crises and sketches of a possible and desirable future. It has been a necessary work of theoretical synthesis, but preserving a viable world also requires passion. It is thus urgent to show what people would gain from a shift to a post-neoliberal and post-growth convivialist future. This volume includes a theoretical debate on convivialism which reflects dystopias and shows the multiple and major obstacles that convivialism will have to face. Mainly, however, the contributors to this volume create sketches of a convivial future and collect accounts of another future world which is attractive for as many as possible.

  Fighting From Above - A Combat...

  The story of the United States Air Force (USAF) stretches back to aerial operations prior to the First World War and looks forward to a new era of airpower in space. Fighting from Above presents a concise account of this history, offering a new perspective on how the air forces of the United States created an independent way of warfare over time. 
   
   
   
  From the earliest battles of the USAF's predecessor organizations to its modern incarnation, Brian D. Laslie identifies four distinct ways of war that developed over four distinct epochs. Beginning with the development of early air power (1906–1941), he highlights the creation of roles and missions. An era of strategic dominance (1942–1975) followed in which the ideas of strategic bombardment ruled the air force; when such notions were unceremoniously proven false during the Vietnam-era conflicts, a period of tactical ascendancy (1975–2019) began. Finally, Laslie considers the current environment, where much of the story of the USAF remains unwritten as it grapples with the prospects and challenges posed by drones and the U.S. Space Force. 
   
   
   
  While detailing combat operations, Fighting from Above also pays close attention to technology, politics, rivalries, logistics, policy, organization, equipping, and training. It is an authoritative history of the development of American airpower.
