L'état breton, de Jean V à la duchesse Anne

Les succès, incontestables a
La Bretagne du 15e siècle connaît une tentative de création d'un Etat, sous l'autorité de ducs qui mènent une politique parfois subtile d'équilibre entre le roi de France et les autres souverains d'Europe occidentale. Ces ducs inspirent une idéologie qui justifie leur prétention à la souveraineté, pratiquent une politique de mécénat destinée à illustrer et affirmer leur puissance.
Chateaubriand, l'indompté
Né à l'aube de grandes mutations sociales dont les "Mémoires d’outre-tombe" s'appliquent à rendre compte et expliquer, le "barde d'Armorique" traverse près d'un siècle de bouleversements historiques, soit en spectateur enclin aux chimères soit en acteur tantôt investi, tantôt désinvesti. Ecartelé, de toutes façons, entre une indéfectible fidélité à la monarchie des "fils de Saint-Louis" et une intelligence aiguë de temps nouveaux qu'il sait ne

2 New products – old failings
Designed products surround us all and range from bus tickets to buildings. This unit focuses firmly on usability and the increasingly important phenomenon of people-centred design. It aims to inform consumers of design (i.e., all of us) about this crucial characteristic of design. The unit is derived from the Open University course T211 on Design and Designing, but as well as stimulating interest in areas of concern for producers of design it might also provide an introduction to engineering, ma

Plant Cycles: Photosynthesis & Transpiration
What do plants need? Students examine the effects of light and air on green plants, learning the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration. Student teams plant seeds, placing some in sunlight and others in darkness. They make predictions about the outcomes and record ongoing observations of the condition of the stems, leaves and roots. Then, several healthy plants are placed in glass jars with lids overnight. Condensation forms, illustrating the process of transpiration, or the release of mo
Great Zoom out of New York, NY: Central Park
Using data from different spacecraft and some powerful computer technology, visualizers at the Goddard Space Flight Center present you with a collection of American cities in a way you have never seen them before. Starting with our camera high above the Earth, we rush in towards the surface at what would be an impossible speed for any known vehicle. Passing though layers of atmosphere, the colors of our destinations shimmer with their own unique characteristics, and suddenly we find ourselves fl
1.3.6 Relocation: acceptance
This unit looks at the way people identify and become attached to places, buildings and objects. It also analyses how this attachment can impact on personal well-being. Understanding this is important in assessing the care people of all ages need and how this care should be delivered.
2 Schemes run by Swansea Cyrenians in 1999
The majority of people who sleep on the streets, and in hostels and night shelters are men. However, the number of women, particularly younger women, in these circumstances has increased (Anderson et al., 1993). They are often people with complex care and support needs, which go way beyond the provision of accommodation. But, as you will learn in this unit, complex needs are both a cause and a product of homelessness.
