This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the adventures and discoveries of recent French explorers. In Volumes 1 and 2 the naval officer Jules Dumont d'Urville (1790-1842) presents a lightly fictionalised account based on his first two voyages to the Pacific on board the Coquille (renamed L'Astrolabe for the second voyage). This was intended for a wider audience and offered at a more affordable price than the large-format scientific expedition reports produced for the French government. The work, illustrated with engravings, was originally published in 1832, but the printings by Furne reissued here date from 1863 and 1859 respectively. Volume 1 describes the voyage through the Atlantic to the Cape of Good Hope, and focuses on South and South-East Asia, China and Hawaii, covering natural history, indigenous culture, and colonial commerce. It ends with the ship's arrival in French Polynesia. - Häftad, Franska, 2011

Volume 2 describes the voyage from French Polynesia back to France via Australia, New Zealand and Cape Horn. It includes d'Urville's discovery of the location in the Solomon Islands where the explorer Jean-Francois La Pérouse's ships had mysteriously disappeared in 1788. - Häftad, Franska, 2011

This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the work of recent French explorers for a readership avid for accounts of exotic foreign lands. Volume 3 is an updated version of an 1841 publication by the influential French palaeontologist Alcide d'Orbigny (1802-57), who between 1826 and 1833 travelled around South America collecting natural history specimens for the Paris Museum. The scientific publications resulting from this fieldwork were greatly admired by Charles Darwin. This lightly fictionalised account of d'Orbigny's travels, illustrated with engravings, was supplemented by information on North America derived from other sources. It went through several editions; this posthumous 1859 printing was further expanded by Alfred Jacobs (1827-62). It begins by describing the Caribbean, focuses in detail on South America, and continues with accounts of the history, landscapes and peoples of Mexico, the United States, Canada, Greenland and Iceland. - Häftad, Franska, 2011

This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the work of recent French explorers for a readership avid for accounts of exotic foreign lands. Volume 4 was prepared by Alfred Jacobs (1802-62), an archivist and palaeographer, drawing heavily on an 1839 publication by Jean-Baptiste Benoit Eyriès (1767-1846). Eyriès was a founder member of the French Geographical Society and a member of the Asiatic Society, trained in botany and mineralogy, an accomplished linguist and seasoned traveller, who wrote, edited and translated a substantial number of works on geography, travel and exploration. Like earlier volumes in Furne's collection, this account of Asia and Africa takes the form of a fictionalised journey, making use of a wide range of additional sources to give readers as complete a picture as possible. This 1859 edition is illustrated with twenty-two engravings. - Häftad, Franska, 2012

The Psychology of Private Events: Perspectives on Covert Response Systems provides evidence that the assessment and manipulation of private events such as thoughts, feelings, and images facilitates the prediction and control of human behavior. The individual contributions represent a variety of approaches to theorizing and research into private events, and to the clinical applications or potential applications which have been generated by such study. The authors have addressed themselves in creative and ingenious ways to such diverse topics as creating resistance to temptation; developing feelings of attraction to appropriate sex objects; training people to experience less pain; and having mental hospital patients practice being happier. This book will be of primary interest to students and teachers of psychology, particularly those interested in behaviorally oriented clinical research and practice. Other professionals and teachers in the social sciences may also find it useful to become aware of the newer trends in psychology. 182 kr

L’Afrique a été le théâtre d’un grand nombre de voyages qui, à toutes les extrémités et dans l’intérieur de ce continent, ont amené d’importantes découvertes. La page blanche où si longtemps les géographes écrivirent : terre inconnue, se remplit de villes et de nations nouvelles. Des cours d’eau s’y dessinent, de grands lacs s’y révèlent, des montagnes y apparaissent avec leurs pics chargés de neiges jusque sous l’équateur. Jusqu’à la fin du 18e siècle, l’Afrique intérieure resta à peu près inexplorée. Les anciens ne connurent guère du continent africain que l’Égypte, les régions vaguement désignées sous le nom d’Ethiopie et le littoral méditerranéen. Le moyen âge accumula les révolutions sur les rivages septentrionaux de l’Afrique sans rien ajouter à nos connaissances géographiques. Au prix de quelles souffrances s’accomplirent ces conquêtes de la géographie en Afrique, le sort de la plupart des voyageurs l’a fait assez connaître, et ce n’est jamais sans une émotion profonde que l’esprit se reporte à ces aventureuses entreprises auxquelles Mungo-Park, René Caillié, Hornmann, Oudney, Clapperton, Laing, Lander, Houghton, et tant d’autres ont attaché leurs noms tristes et glorieux. Nous nous proposons simplement de retracer les résultats de ces explorations dont l’Afrique a été le théâtre. - E-bokFranska, 2016

Découvrez à travers ce livre, l''histoire de Madagascar. Surnommée la Grande Ile pour sa superficie, elle est aussi grande pour sa position géographique jugée importante pour les navigateurs. "Entre toutes les terres lointaines, Madagascar compte parmi les pays dont on s’est occupé en France avec une sorte de prédilection. La grande île africaine a davantage attiré les regards par suite de circonstances exceptionnelles. La présence de populations d’origines très diverses, rapprochées ou mêlées sur un même point du globe, se trouvant reconnue, un nouvel élément a été fourni pour exciter l’intérêt qui s’attache à l’histoire de l’humanité. Madagascar a été le centre d’une création spéciale ; la grande île n’est sans doute que le débris d’un continent, vaste peut-être comme l’Australie, qui à une époque ancienne du monde dominait sur l’Océan indien..." - Häftad, Tyska, 1968
