Transport and Energy Conversion in the Heliosphere: Lectures Given at the CNRS Summer School on Solar Astrophysics, Oleron, France, 25–29 May 1998

The booklet comprises classes taught to a public of Ph. D. scholars, post-docs and proven researchers in all fields of heliospheric plasma physics. It goals at deciding on actual concerns that are universal to 2 diverse fields of astronomy: sunlight and magnetospheric physics. Emphasis is given to easy procedures of shipping and conversion of strength: magnetic reconnection is mentioned intimately from the viewpoints of MHD and kinetic physics.

At the Margins of the Renaissance: Lazarillo De Tormes and the Picaresque Art of Survival

Released anonymously in 1554, Lazarillo de Tormes disenchanted the entire strict hierarchies that ruled paintings and society throughout the Renaissance. It strains the adventures now not of a nobleman or old hero, yet particularly of a typical guy who struggles for survival in a merciless, corrupt society after transforming into up lower than the care of a blind beggar.
