The narrative centers on Almanda Simâeon, an orphan who navigates cultural divides as she falls in love with an Innu man and integrates into the Pekuakami Innu community. Embracing their language and nomadic lifestyle, she challenges the limitations placed on Indigenous women. Spanning a century, the story explores the decline of traditional Innu life, highlighting the family's struggles against land loss, confinement to reserves, and the traumatic impact of residential schools.

The aim of this project is to provide a sustained analysis of the concept of ‘self’ in Statius’ Thebaid . It is this project’s contention that the poem is profoundly interested in ideas of identity and selfhood. The poem stages itself as a metapoetic exploration of the difficulties for a belated epicist in finding a place in the literary canon; it shows the impossibility of squaring large-scale epic poetics with small-scale, finely-wrought Callimacheanism; it reflects the violent disjunction between Statius’ authorial pose as a poet without power and the extreme violence of his poetics; it opens up the intricacies of constructing original, coherent characters out of intertextual, exemplary models. The central tenet of the project is that Statius in the Thebaid stages his own 'death', but does so that his poem may live. This book is intended for an academic audience including undergraduate and graduate students as well as specialists in the field. Although the project will be of primary importance to readers of Flavian literature, it will also be of interest to those who study intertextuality and characterisation in Roman literature more generally, selfhood and identity in Roman literature and culture and the reception of Roman literature.

In the Innu language, amun means "gathering." Under the direction of Michel Jean, the Innu writer and journalist, this collection brings together Indigenous authors from different backgrounds, First Nations, and generations. Their works of fiction sometimes reflect history and traditions, other times the reality of First Nations in Quebec and Canada. Offering the various perspectives of well-known creators, this book presents the theater of a gathering and the speaking out of people that are too rarely heard. Included are original texts by Joséphine Bacon, Natasha Kanapé Fontaine, Naomi Fontaine, Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau, Melissa Mollen Dupuis, Jean Sioui, Alyssa Jérôme, Maya Cousineau-Mollen, Louis-Karl Picard-Sioui, and Michel Jean.

This book provides information to the state of art of research in nanotechnology and nano medicine and risks of nano technology. It covers an interdisciplinary and very wide scope of the latest fundamental research status and industrial applications of nano technologies ranging from nano physics, nano chemistry to biotechnology and toxicology. It provides information to last legislation of nano usage and potential social impact too. The book contains also a reference list of major European research centers and associated universities offering licences and master of nano matter. For clarity and attractivity, the book has many illustrations and specific inserts to complete the understanding of the scientific texts.

In very different ways the writings of the New Testament have shaped cultures until today. The Novum Testamentum Patristicum project will give a full documentation of ancient Christian receptions of the New Testament in late antiquity. This volume focuses on the different mainly narrative receptions of New Testament texts in ancient Christian apocryphal literature. While it has been accepted for a long time that apocryphal writings mainly wanted to fill the gaps of New Testament texts in more or less fantastic ways, the articles in this volume discover a rich and very different variety of re-writings, relectures, and receptions of New Testament texts, motifs and ideas.

This exhaustive listing of almost all marine natural products known to date adopts a unique approach in its classification of the compounds by biological species. It also provides background information on the respective species, based on the biological classification of the organisms from which these compounds are derived. The treatise covers more than 8,700 formula, 14,000 references, and 650 websites on almost 1700 pages.From the * General and Bibliographic Resources* Archaea (Archaebacteria) and Eubacteria* Photosynthetic Eucaryotes* Fungi and other non-photosynthetic unicellular eucaryotes* Diploblastic animals* Protostomes* DeuterostomesIndispensable for marine biologists and chemists exploring natural products, as well as for the pharmaceutical and food industries and the agribusiness.

Fibrillar networks, materials belonging to the realm of finely-divided matter, can be obtained through two different systems: from polymer solutions giving rise to thermoreversible gels, on the one hand, and from organic molecules solutions, that self-assemble and produce organogels, on the other hand. This symposium was aimed at bringing together organic chemists working on organogels from self-assembled systems, and polymer physical chemists working on fibrillar thermoreversible gels.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Polymer-Solvent Complexes and Intercalates held in Besancon, France in August 2000. As the reader will discover, results from various topics involving polymers, polyelectrolytes, polymer-like systems (self-assembling molecules, biological molecules), surfaces etc. were presented and discussed. They highlight the growing impact of this field on various scientific domains, and also the building of a scientific community concerned by the same questions.
