  dans le logement surplombant l'épicerie familiale de Bondy. Il fréq uente le collège, puis, à dix-sept ans, décide de prendre en main sa propre éducation. Pas­ sionné d'art, élève au musée Guimet et à l'école du Louvre, ce lecteur insatiable apprend le sanskrit. Il gagne sa vie dans le commerce des livres d'occasion, et cette activité l'introduit auprès d'intellectuels chevronnés (Gide, Max Jacob, Reverdy) qui l'encouragent à écrire : la revue...

• Amérique centrale.

  courant du Pérou, ou courant de Humboldt, longeant la côte péruvienne, rafraîchit l’air, l’empêchant ainsi d’absorber une grande quantité de vapeur d’eau et réduisant leséventuelles précipitations. Au contraire, la température élevée de la mer des Antilles permet une importante absorption de l’humidité par l’air, qui est ensuite acheminée parles vents d’est (alizés) qui soufflent en permanence. Une importante condensation se forme, provoquant des pluies, lorsque l’air acheminé par les vents pass...

• Big Bang Theory - astronomy.

  hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms can only absorb and emit specific colors, or wavelengths, of light. The formation of atoms allowed many other wavelengths of light,wavelengths that had been interfering with the free electrons prior to the cooling of the universe, to travel much farther than before. This change set free radiation thatwe can detect today. After billions of years of cooling, this cosmic background radiation is at about 3 K (-270°C/-454°F).The cosmic background radiation was first d...

• Sexually Transmitted Infections.

  D Genital Herpes Genital herpes is caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Most cases of genital herpes are due to HSV type 2. Some cases, however, result from genitalinfections with HSV type 1, a common cause of cold sores. Genital herpes causes recurrent outbreaks of painful sores on the genitals, although the disease oftenremains dormant with no symptoms for long periods. In the United States, one in five individuals over the age of 12 is infected with HSV type 2, and the va...

  3.2. 3 Cœlomates et acœlomates Les animaux chez qui le mésoderme se transforme en une série de vésicules creuses, ou cœlome, sont des cœlomates. Le mésoderme évolue peu et reste compact chez lesanimaux sans cœlome ou acœlomates. Dans le groupe des cœlomates, l'évolution s'est poursuivie dans deux directions opposées. Chez certains, la bouche de l'embryon, le blastopore, persiste et forme la bouchedéfinitive de l'animal adulte. Les animaux qui présentent cette caractéristique sont les protostomi...

• baroque, art - peinture.

  En peinture, on distingue deux écoles fondamentales : « l’école de Bologne » et « l’école napolitaine ». Les peintures du Caravage, avec leur opposition de lumière et d’ombre très marquée, font partie de cette dernière. Les frères Carrache, refusant tout maniérisme au profit de principes de clarté, de monumentalité et d’équilibre, font partie, en revanche, de l’école de Bologne. Ces deux tendances s’avèrent décisives dans l’évolution du « plein-baroque » des années 1620-1650, et participent du...

• Business.

  The most common form of ownership is a sole proprietorship —that is, a business owned by one individual. At the beginning of the 21st century, there were more than 17 million sole proprietorships in the United States. These businesses have the advantage of being easy to set up and to dissolve because few laws exist to regulatethem. Proprietors, as owners, also maintain direct control of their businesses and own all their profits. On the other hand, owners of proprietorships are personallyrespon...

• Greenhouse Effect.

  addition, humans cut down huge tracts of trees for lumber or to clear land for farming or building. This process, known as deforestation, can both release the carbonstored in trees and significantly reduce the number of trees available to absorb carbon dioxide. As a result of these human activities, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is accumulating faster than Earth’s natural processes can absorb the gas. By analyzing airbubbles trapped in glacier ice that is many centuries old, scientists have d...

• Cognitive Psychology.

  full richness of people’s cognitive experiences. Describing the act of remembering as a process of storage and retrieval, for example, neglects the subjective experienceof remembering. Another criticism is that information-processing theory may not reflect how the brain actually works. Newer models, such as the parallel distributedprocessing model, try to address this criticism by drawing on studies of brain structure and function. Psychologists continue to debate the adequacy of the information...

• Stress (psychology).

  blood flow is diverted from the internal organs and skin to the brain and muscles. Breathing speeds up, the pupils dilate, and perspiration increases. This reaction issometimes called the fight-or-flight response because it energizes the body to either confront or flee from a threat. Another part of the stress response involves the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, parts of the brain that are important in regulating hormones and many otherbodily functions. In times of stress, the hypothal...

• Horse Racing.

  interested parties claim the same horse at the same price, lots are drawn to determine the winning offer. Knowledgeable owners and trainers may use claiming races toobtain, at bargain prices, horses whose former owners underestimated the potential of their animals. Two other types of contests are match races and walkovers. A match race pits only two horses, almost always that season’s most successful racers, in a head-to-headduel. A walkover occurs when only one horse has not been scratched (w...

• Perception (psychology).

  A4 Closure According to the law of closure, we prefer complete forms to incomplete forms. Thus, in the drawing below, we mentally close the gaps and perceive a picture of a duck. This tendency allows us to perceive whole objects from incomplete and imperfect forms. A5 Common Fate The law of common fate leads us to group together objects that move in the same direction. In the following illustration, imagine that three of the balls are moving in one direction, and two of the balls are mo...

• Great Depression in the United States - U.

  prices would continue to rise and they could soon sell their stocks at a profit. The widespread belief that anyone could get rich led many less affluent Americans into the market as well. Investors bought millions of shares of stock “on margin,” arisky practice similar to buying products on credit. They paid only a small part of the price and borrowed the rest, gambling that they could sell the stock at a highenough price to repay the loan and make a profit. For a time this was true: In 1928 the...

• Automobile Racing.

  beginning in 1906 at Le Mans it came to refer to the principal F1 auto race in a given nation, except in the United States, where the term continues to be used lessdiscriminately. After the end of World War I in 1918, when automobile racing blossomed internationally, a series of GP races in several nations became reserved for F1competition, and an annual GP calendar was developed consisting of national races, such as the French Grand Prix and the British Grand Prix. An annual award calledthe Wor...

• Spider (arthropod) - biology.

  The spider’s abdomen is soft and saclike. On the underside of the tip of the abdomen are three pairs of spinnerets. Each spinneret is studded with many fine, hairliketubes called spigots, which produce a variety of silk threads. The spigots lead to several large silk glands inside the abdomen. Silk is formed as a liquid inside theseabdominal glands. As the silk is drawn out through the spigots, protein molecules within the silk line up parallel to one another, causing the silk to harden and form...

• Finland - country.

  Productive forestland is the most valuable natural resource of Finland. Spruce, pine, and silver birch are the principal trees used to manufacture wood and pulp andpaper products.

  The commercial reason for exploration has been a consistent driving force. In 1492 the great navigator Christopher Columbus sailed west across the Atlantic Oceanseeking a new, shorter, and cheaper route to reach the riches of East Asia, and Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama circumnavigated Africa for much the same reason.Yet similar investigations of the profitable eastern trade had already been made by Arab sailors. Arab trading ships were sailing from the Arabian Sea to southeasternAsia probab...
