About this book
"This book examines processes of media change in post-Communist countries. Considerable attention is paid to the general process of transformation before turning to the media in particular. In this reexamination of the media under the Communist system and its role in the transition, the stress is on analysis of media policy and media systems. The author develops a model of change in Central and Eastern Europe and how it can be applied. As such, the intention is not to provide a full account of the debate but to illustrate the main elements and mechanisms of the process as exemplified by the situation in selected countries."--BOOK JACKET.

Discontinuities in the electromagnetic field
M. Mithat Idemen
"This book presents some new approaches and basic results connected with the discontinuities of the electromagnetic field. The discontinuities in question may be (1) the bounded jump discontinuities on the interfaces between two media or on the material sheets which model very thin layers or (2) unbounded values at the edge of wedge type structures or (3) unbounded values at the tips of conical structures. The book involves may examples as well as problems (exercises) to be solved by the readers"--
Jeunes en cité
Eric Marlière
Les transformations qui affectent nos sociétés ont de lourdes conséquences sur les ouvriers des banlieues, souvent immigrés, et plus encore sur leurs enfants: évoluant dans une société hostile, ceux-ci développent de multiples stratégies face à un avenir incertain. A travers une étude ethnographique, réalisée dans une cité HLM d'une ancienne "banlieue rouge", ce livre montre que le discours commun sur ces jeunes ne résiste pas à la pluralité des enjeux sociaux, ni à la complexité des situations. Il atteste aussi qu'une page de l'histoire ouvrière se tourne définitivement.
