This is the world that unfolds when you embrace the power of positive thought. It's a journey that empowers you to navigate life's uncertainties with optimism, resilience, and a belief in your own potential.

The decades after World War II saw France''s look, feel and lived realities transformed by spatial planning and modernization. Aménagement du territoire was a technical and administrative project, but was also political, moral and philosophical, as well as creative and imaginative. It was driven by a powerful obsession with the future and a belief that spatial planning could create the future in the present. During the presidency of Charles de Gaulle (1958-69), it became a vehicle for reasserting France''s place in the world after decolonization and expressing its grandeur as an advanced civilization. In Making Space in Post-war France, Edward Welch tracks the conceptual, ideological and discursive foundations of aménagement, mining an array of material from legislative texts to publicity brochures to investigate how visions of the future were articulated and inscribed on the ground as new towns, infrastructure and other expressions of modernity. He ranges across work by writers, filmmakers and photographers to explore how modernized landscapes and their effect on lived experience begin to permeate French culture during the 1970s and 80s, and how the legacies of spatial planning are negotiated politically, socially and culturally from the 1990s into the new millennium as the French state wrestles with the different pressures affecting its territory. Edward Welch is Carnegie Professor of French at the University of Aberdeen.

Em Medo e Fuga, Edward T. Welch investiga as raízes do medo na alma humana e as ramificações de viver nas garras da ansiedade, preocupação e pavor. Welch incentiva os leitores a descobrirem por si mesmos que a Bíblia está cheia de belas palavras de conforto para pessoas temerosas (e que toda pessoa tem medo de alguma coisa). No quadro de trinta meditações tópicas, Welch oferece sólida teologia bíblica e momento a momento, incentivo ponderado para o salvamento de vidas no meio do campo de batalha do coração e da mente de respostas desenfreadas de pânico. Esta cartilha abrangente sobre o tema do medo, da preocupação e do resto de Deus fará com que os leitores se retirem para as Escrituras para obter constância, cuidado firme e conforto robusto, em vez de – como Welch define – pressionar o botão padrão ao responder com característica independência humana, controle e autoproteção.

Escrito a partir da convicção de que os amigos são os melhores ajudantes, esta introdução ao aconselhamento bíblico irá equipar os crentes para compartilhar os fardos dos outros através de palavras gentis de sabedoria e atos de amor. Este livro é escrito para quem deseja ver Deus usar relações e conversas entre os cristãos comuns para realizar milagres extraordinários na vida de seu povo.

The changing look and feel of metropolitan France has been a notable preoccupation of French culture since the 1980s. This collection of essays explores concern with space across a range of media, from recent cinema, documentary filmmaking and photographic projects to television drama and contemporary fiction, and examines what it reveals about the fluctuating state of the nation in a post-colonial and post-industrial age.

Imagine . . . an interconnected group of people who entrust themselves to each other. You can speak of your pain, and someone responds with compassion and prayer. You can speak of your joys, and someone rejoices with you. You can ask for help with sinful struggles, and someone prays with you. The goal of this book is that these meaningful relationships will become a natural part of daily life in your church. With short chapters and discussion questions meant to be read in a group setting, Ed Welch guides small groups through eight lessons that show what it looks like when ordinary, needy people care for other ordinary, needy people in everyday life.

People exhibit an "illusion of courage" when predicting their own behavior in embarrassing situations. In three experiments, participants overestimated their own willingness to engage in embarrassing public performances in exchange for money when those performances were psychologically distant: Hypothetical or in the relatively distant future. This illusion of courage occurs partly because of cold/hot empathy gaps. That is, people in a relatively "cold" unemotional state underestimate the influence on their own preferences and behaviors of being in a relative "hot" emotional state such as social anxiety evoked by an embarrassing situation. Consistent with this cold/hot empathy gap explanation, putting people "in touch" with negative emotional states by arousing fear (Experiments 1 and 2) and anger (Experiment 2) decreased people's willingness to engage in psychologically distant embarrassing public performances. Conversely, putting people "out of touch" with social anxiety through aerobic exercise, which reduces state anxiety and increases confidence, increased people's willingness to engage in psychologically distance embarrassing public performances (Experiment 3). Implications for self-predictions, self-evaluation, and affective forecasting are discussed.

While François Mauriac’s reputation as a novelist is well established, it is often forgotten that fiction forms only part of his output, and that in the post-war years especially, it was principally his activities as a journalist which kept him in the public eye. His interventions in the key debates of the period helped to consolidate his position as a major intellectual alongside Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. This book examines the evolution of François Mauriac’s career during the twentieth century, and his gradual transformation from novelist to intellectual. Situating Mauriac and his activities firmly in their socio-cultural context, it draws in particular on the insights provided by Bourdieusian sociology to explore the mechanisms and social processes which allow Mauriac to emerge as an authoritative voice of moral conscience. In doing so, it offers new perspective on key moments in his career, from his changing fortunes as a novelist in the 1930s, examined here for the first time through the prism of his reception by the influential Nouvelle Revue française, to his unlikely collaboration with the then-radical L’Express in the 1950s. At the same time, it argues that tracing Mauriac’s trajectory helps to crystallise the broader changes affecting the literary and cultural landscape in France during the twentieth century.

Cet ouvrage consacré à Andreï Makine, se penche sur les sources d''inspiration russe du romancier- ce "soil and soul" qui a tant fasciné la critique anglo-saxonne- et propose un contrepoint au premier regard plutôt tourné vers l''Ouest. Il fournit une autre "clé" pour comprendre "la musique d''une vie" qui parcourt toute l''oeuvre et donne une autre version de l''Histoire que celle qui apparaît à première vue.

Romancier français d''origine russe, Andreï Makine (né en Sibérie en 1957) occupe le devant de la scène littéraire française depuis le succès éclatant de son quatrième roman "Le testament français" couronné par les prix Goncourt et Médicis. Cet ouvrage est le premier travail intégral consacré à l''oeuvre makinienne et nourrit une réflexion sur l''Europe d''aujourd''hui en interrogeant la fascination de l''auteur depuis l''âge de conscience, pour les valeurs culturelles de l''ouest mises en opposition avec la réalité soviétique vécue. Fascination prometteuse ou jeu imaginatif trompeur qui rejette vers un autre ailleurs ?
