Louis XIV, King of France from 1638 to 1715, ruled over the court at Versailles with the sheer magnetism of his personality. All were desperate to be in the light of the sun king. His image was paramount to maintaining his place at the center of the Universe. The 5'4” monarch wore high heels and voluminous wigs. And he made sure the world knew he was a virile man with plenty of mistresses. While at least 20 women came and went from his majesty's bed, he was emotionally devoted to 3 women in succession; Louise de La Vallière, Madame de Montespan and finally Madame de Maintenon whom he secretly married after the death of his Queen. Let's meet the mistresses of King Louis XIV: Catherine Bellier, Baroness de Beauvais Marie Mancini, Duchess & Princess of Paliano Louise de La Vallière, Duchess of La Vallière & Vaujours Olympia Mancini, Countess of Soissons Bonne de Pons d'Heudicourt, Marquise d'Heudicourt Catherine Charlotte de Gramont, Princess of Monaco Gabrielle de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise of Thianges Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart, Marquise de Montespan Anne de Rohan-Chabot, Princess of Soubise Isabelle de Ludres, Marquess of Ludres Claude de Vin des Œillets Marie Angélique de Scorailles, Duchess of Fontanges Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

All the televised sights from Paris lately put Alicia in a mood, so today she's got the incredible story of Natalie Clifford Barney, a leading light in the Parisian art world in the 19th century, and also a fearless out lesbian in a time when such a thing was inconceivable to most. American born, Natalie's story is fascinating on many levels, not least because of her constant intersections with and contributions to the makers of the culture in which we live - artists and writers like Collette, Romaine Brooks, Renee Vivien, Djuana Barnes, Radclyffe Hall, Janet Flanner, Solita Solano, Mina Loy, Una Troubridge, and Elisabeth de Gramont, to name just a few.

What happened to Agatha Christie during the eleven days she disappeared in December 1926? Writer Nina de Gramont creatively interprets the missing days in her 2022 novel. Agatha leaves home when husband Archie says he wants to marry his mistress Nan O'Dea. Inspector Frank Chilton searches and finds Agatha after she meets Finbarr, who is in love with Nan. Flashbacks take us to Nan's time in a Catholic home for unwed mothers where the women were treated horribly. The book's last chapters reveal new love, old enemies and reconciliation between two very strong women. We selected a 2021 Domaine de Fontsainte red blend to savor as we discovered the amazing history of Southern French wines. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/readingbetweenthewines/support

Dans ce dixième épisode des Voleurs de Feu, je vous emmène du côté de Lisbonne et de son poète emblématique : Fernando Pessoa.  Auteur prolifique aspirant à une connaissance totale du monde, acquise selon lui au travers de la sensation par l'intermédiaire de ses hétéronymes, il a sacrifié sa vie pour son œuvre.  Qui se cache derrière l'homme au grand chapeau noir et à la petite moustache ? Pourquoi Pessoa a-t-il eu recours à tant d'hétéronymes pour signer ses œuvres ?

Elisabeth de Gramont has been chief brand officer at the Canadian sustainable apparel brand Frank and Oak for more than two years. In that time, under her leadership, the brand's become more transparent and more communicative about its sustainable efforts than ever. Just this year, Frank and Oak launched its first sustainability progress report, a 17-page document granting an inside look at the material impact of the brand's production and the concrete steps it's taking to reduce that impact. The report was spearheaded by de Gramont herself, but it required the participation of almost every team at the company. “We felt confident about how our factories and how we were doing things,” de Gramont said. “But it's important for us to then say, 'OK, can we actually quantify what we're doing and what we're working toward?' We talk a lot about material science, so this was our chance to actually show what percentage of our clothing is using those sustainable fibers and what we'd like it to be.” De Gramont joined the Glossy Podcast to talk more about how Frank and Oak communicates its sustainability goals to its audience and what related investments it's making now. For example, all of the brand's deliveries in Canada are currently being completed by electric vehicles.

In this episode, Lisa shares her own “Everyone Loved It But Me” book. She discusses her challenges reading the popular book, The Christie Affair by Nina De Gramont.  This book, just released in 2022, has been extremely popular because it tries to solve the only Agatha Christie mystery that remains unsolved. For 11 days, in December 1926, Christie was missing and her car was found abandoned miles from her house. She was discovered 11 days later and had no memory of what transpired and said she had amnesia.  Lisa offers up some insight about the book without any spoilers. In this New York Times piece, Gramont shares how she decided to write the book, which was after she discovered that Christie had given the surname of her husband's mistress when she checked into the hotel during her disappearance. Christie is the best-selling fiction writer of all time, and her books have become movies and plays. The Christie family website is a treasure trove of insight about her personally, her family, her writing, and her disappearance. The site says she never told anyone – including family – what happened during those 11 days. There are many articles, including this one, that speculates what might have transpired. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.

The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3QNzJ6T "Sizzles from its first sentence." - The Wall Street Journal A Reese's Book Club Pick In 1925, Miss Nan O'Dea infiltrated the wealthy, rarefied world of author Agatha Christie and her husband, Archie. In every way, she became a part of their life––first, both Christies. Then, just Archie. Soon, Nan became Archie's mistress, luring him away from his devoted wife, desperate to marry him. Nan's plot didn't begin the day she met Archie and Agatha. It began decades before, in Ireland, when Nan was a young girl. She and the man she loved were a star-crossed couple who were destined to be together––until the Great War, a pandemic, and shameful secrets tore them apart. Then acts of unspeakable cruelty kept them separated. What drives someone to murder? What will someone do in the name of love? What kind of crime can someone never forgive? Nina de Gramont's brilliant, unforgettable novel explores these questions and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Author Nina de Gramont joins Nancy Pearl for an episode of Book Lust to talk about "The Christie Affair." She says that before writing this latest work, she hadn’t read a single Agatha Christie mystery, but when she heard the story of the icon’s mysterious disappearance, she knew it had to be novelized. It turns out, readers agree! Reese Witherspoon even gave it the Reese’s Book Club stamp of approval.

Nina de Gramont's career as a published author began in 2001 with Of Cats and Men. The UNCW professor's ninth book, The Christie Affair, has made her a ‘best-selling author'. De Gramont's fictional novel of Agatha Christie's famous 11-day disappearance landed on the New York Times' list shortly after its' release, thanks in part to being chosen for Academy Award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon's Book Club. De Gramont talks about having to keep that secret, the pressure of her follow-up, and the joys of teaching the next generation of writers.

This week we discuss Death on the Nile by the ever popular Agatha Christie. Due to Agatha Christie's notoriety, we wanted to dive even deeper and also discuss some facts from her life, along with two recent novels centered around the biggest mystery Agatha Christie ever had...the time she disappeared for 11 days. Those novels are The Christie Affairs by Nina de Gramont and The Mystery of Mrs Christie by Marie Benedict.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-lost-chill/donations

In this intriguing episode of the Versus History Podcast, we interviewed historical novelist Nina de Gramont about her truly captivating new book ‘The Christie Affair'. Agatha Christie needs little introduction as a figure of historical significance. The book itself was an Amazon Best Book of February 2022 and has been acclaimed around the world. Amazon Editor Seira Wilson de Gramont's new novel as: ‘Blending fact and fiction, The Christie Affair is a wonderfully clever take on Agatha Christie's mysterious real-life disappearance in 1926. The novel's narrator is Nan O'Dea—Agatha's husband's mistress—and over the course of 11 days, Nan and Agatha become entwined in each other's lives in ways neither expected. The story unfolds as if it were one of Christie's mysteries, rewarding the reader with the thrill of discovery over and over as de Gramont adds one silken thread at a time to her intricate web of love and revenge, agency and betrayal, murder and justice. And in true Agatha Christie fashion, when all is finally revealed and the full picture comes into focus, the result is unexpected, exhilarating, and enormously satisfying.'

Today we are chatting with Nina de Gramont about her new novel, The Christie Affair, which was just selected as the Reese Book Club February pick! This episode is sponsored by the audiobook edition of The Christie Affair, published by Macmillan Audio. ** Nina starts by giving us the scoop on what it's like to be picked by Reese for her book club, complete with the street cred it earned her with her teenage daughter. (03:35) ** The Christie Affair is a reimagination of the 11 days Agatha Christie went missing in 1926. Nina shares her relationship with Christie, a woman well ahead of her time, and how the idea for this novel came about. (06:38) ** We talk about the chief narrator of the novel, Nan O'Dea, who is a fictional character based on someone real – the mistress of Agatha Christie's husband Archie! (10:11) ** Nina explains how she skillfully avoided the dreaded “unlikable” label that could carelessly be ascribed to the “mistress” by making Nana a three dimensional character. (12:12) ** There are a lot of reasons women go missing in fiction and in real life, many times for dark and troubling reasons. And many times they don't make it back. This is a different kind of story —  what these women have is agency. (14:39) ** Nina discusses the writing process, which involved many years and lots of revisions. (17:44) ** The Christie Affair has a complex structure. Nina discusses the evolution of the story and how it had to be told, including how she wrote an entirely different book in between drafts. (19:25) ** We talk astrology and are so surprised to hear Nina's unlikely relationship with the stars! (21:36) ** Nina shares what she is loving right now.

42. The mysterious disappearance of Agatha Christie (part 2): Nina de Gramont, author of The Christie Affair, tells We'd Like A Word hosts Paul Waters and Stevyn Colgan what might have happened when the famous murder mystery writer disappeared for 11 days in 1926. Nina talks about the original real life disappearance, the various theories and her own version - which works in a very cunning murder mystery (spoiler alert - poison is involved in classic Christie style) and Ireland's notorious mother and baby homes. We also hear about how Nina succeeded in writing The Christie Affair, because she changed her approach to writing, after a failed attempt to write a book based on Emily Dickinson. We discuss why women are better at writing crime fiction than men (let us know if you disagree), the Cottingley Fairies, Agatha Christie's secret surfing past, how to get a movie made of your book, and Stevyn's starring role in the quintuple-award-winning film Scootch! We also refer to some other authors/scholars and their books, including The Line Up by Matthew Thompson, Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and the Nation's Architecture of Containment by Dr James Smith, the Adoption Machine by Paul Jude Redman, Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James and the documentary Sex In A Cold Climate directed by Steve Humphries.

Happy Day, Friend! On this week's podcast episode, I'm talking about self-reliance, retreat, and inner power. My special guest this week is nature writer, David Gessner. How has the tragic experience of COVID-19 changed the way we live—and the way we want to live—for those of us lucky enough to have made it through? When the pandemic struck, acclaimed nature writer David Gessner turned to Henry David Thoreau, the original social distancer, for insights and a wide-ranging conversation across the centuries. The resulting book, QUIET DESPERATION, SAVAGE DELIGHT: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crisis , is a lyric yet urgent meditation on life and this earth which includes lessons about rediscovering our own backyards, self-reliance, and rewilding—the last especially poignant after a year of environmental healing. David Gessner is the author of Leave It As It Is: A Journey Through Theodore Roosevelt's American Wilderness and the New York Times–bestselling All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner and the American West. Chair of the Creative Writing Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and founder and editor-in-chief of Ecotone, Gessner lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, with his wife, the novelist Nina de Gramont, and their daughter, Hadley.David and I talk about: ~ his journey into becoming a nature writer; ~ his new book, Quiet Desperation, Savage Delight: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crisis; ~ COVID-19, self-reliance, and the environment; ~ the concept of re-wilding; ~ the healing power of nature and finding solace in your own “back yard oasis”; and ~ so much more! It was such an insightful conversation. I hope you gain a ton of value from it. If you loved this episode, please share with a friend or family member that could gain value from it too. Make sure to get a copy of David's book and give one to the nature lovers in your life! Connect with David Gessner

In this episode, we interview Historian David Gessner (@DavidGessner), the author of the new book ‘LEAVE IT AS IT IS: A Journey Through Theodore Roosevelt’s American Wilderness’, published by Simon & Schuster. David is the author of eleven books that blend a love of nature, humor, memoir, and environmentalism, including the New York Times-bestselling 'All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner and the American West' and the prize-winning 'The Tarball Chronicles'. In 2003 Gessner taught Environmental Writing as a Briggs-Copeland Lecturer at Harvard, and he now serves as Chair of the Creative Writing Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where he is also the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the literary magazine, Ecotone. His own prizes include a Pushcart Prize, the John Burroughs Award for Best Nature Essay, the Association for Study of Literature and the Environment’s award for best book of creative writing, and the Reed Award for Best Book on the Southern Environment. In 2017 he hosted the National Geographic Explorer show, "The Call of the Wild." Gessner lives in Wilmington, North Carolina with his wife, the novelist Nina de Gramont, and their daughter Hadley. The book ‘LEAVE IT AS IT IS’ is many things. It’s a biography of Theodore Roosevelt and his relationship to nature—the real Roosevelt, one filled with grief, depression, and a supernatural work ethic, not a mustachioed caricature charging up San Juan Hill. It’s a travelogue winding its way through America’s national parks and wild places, an ode to the restorative power of nature, lyrically conveying the simple importance of watching elk in a field, or a lightning storm roll in. But most importantly, it is a call to action. In this age of political illiberalism and environmental degradation, LEAVE IT AS IT IS is a devastating look at what we have to lose and what is worth fighting for. Through Roosevelt, his own gleeful wonderment at nature, and the heart-rending contemporary saga of the fight for Bears Ears National Monument, we see our own world: how beautiful it can be, yet also how much damage we have inflicted upon it; how precarious its future is, and how many in power couldn’t care less. This book is simultaneously a page-turning work of history you want to finish in one sitting, and one that makes you want to put it—and everything else—down and head out to experience the solace of nature.

David Gessner is the author of ten books. His latest is Ultimate Glory: Frisbee, Obsession, and My Wild Youth. “The ambition got in my way at first. Because I wanted my stuff to be great, and it froze me up. But later on it was really helpful. I’m startled by the way people don’t, you know, admit [they care] … it seems unlikely people wouldn’t want to be immortal.” Thanks to Casper, Squarespace, and MailChimp for sponsoring this week's episode. @BDsCocktailHour davidgessner.com Gessner on Longform "Not Fuzz" (David Mark Simpson • Atavist • Jul 2017) [01:00] Ultimate Glory: Frisbee, Obsession, and My Wild Youth (Riverhead Books • 2017) [02:00] readthissummer.com [04:45] "No Disc-Respect" (Outside • Jun 2017) [08:15] A Wild, Rank Place: One Year on Cape Cod (University Press of New England • 1997) [08:30] Under the Devil’s Thumb (University of Arizona Press • 1999) [11:00] Sick of Nature (University Press of New England • 2004) [11:00] "Ultimate Glory" (Bill and Dave’s Cocktail Hour • Jan 2012) [11:15] Bill and Dave’s Cocktail Hour [13:00] All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner, and the American West (W.W.

Wizard Academy is now 16 years old.If we could find her birth certificate, we'd take her down to the DMV to get her driver's license and then she could sport about town in Rocinante (above,) the only vehicle she owns. They grow up so fast. When Wizard Academy is 30, I'll be 72. At least I hope I'll be 72. Not everyone who attempts to hike to that mile marker gets there. Will you help us take the impossible dream of Wizard Academy forward into the future? Wizard Academy was launched by accident and grew through the addition of self-selected insiders, as did the Tuesday Group of Stéphane Mallarmé (1880 – 1897,) the Algonquin Round Table of midtown Manhattan (1919 – 1927,) and the artistic salon of Gertrude Stein (1913 – 1939.) The difference between our Academy and theirs is that: 1. our group became an official 501c3 educational organization and built a permanent campus, and 2. we are not artists who love business, but business people who love art: music and paintings and sculpture and photography and movies and literature and whatever you like that we didn't mention. “When bankers get together for dinner, they discuss Art. When artists get together for dinner, they discuss Money.” – Oscar Wilde, of the Tuesday Group Wizard Academy is here to stay. And if you're reading this, I'm fairly certain you belong here. You will be amazed, energized, entertained and encouraged by the people you meet. You will gain insights that make you profoundly more successful.The Tuesday Group (Les Mardistes) of Stéphane Mallarmé included writers like André Gide, Paul Valéry, Oscar Wilde, Paul Verlaine, Rainer Maria Rilke and W.B. Yeats, along with painters like Renoir, Monet, Degas, Redon, and Whistler. Also to be found among them was the quintessential sculptor, Rodin. Everyone who knew about the Tuesday Group, came. The Algonquin Round Table was a self-selected group of writers, editors, actors, and publicists – about 30 in all – that met for lunch on a regular basis at the Algonquin Hotel a block from Times Square. There hasn't been another group quite like them in American popular culture or entertainment until now. Just visit the Toad and Ostrich pub in the tower at Wizard Academy any Friday afternoon at 4. The gatherings in the Stein home on Saturday evenings brought together confluences of talent and thinking that would help define modernism in literature and art. According to Gertrude Stein, the gatherings began by accident when, “more and more frequently, people began visiting to see the Matisse paintings—and the Cézannes. Matisse brought people, everybody brought somebody, and they came at any time and it began to be a nuisance, and it was in this way that Saturday evenings began.” (Interestingly, that's also why Pennie Williams launched Wizard Academy.) Self-selected insiders included Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Guillaume Apollinaire, Georges Braque, Thornton Wilder, Sherwood Anderson, Francis Cyril Rose, René Crevel, Élisabeth de Gramont, Francis Picabia, Claribel Cone, Mildred Aldrich and Carl Van Vechten. A visit to Wizard Academy is like a wonderful vacation in a foreign country. Few people come here only once.Did you know that you have a vacation home high on a plateau in central Texas where rabbits and deer wander the campus, wine flows freely and wedding bells ring 3 times a day? Come. Let your eyes be opened to answers that have been staring you in the face. Roy H. Williams

When Catherine Morrow is admitted to the Esther Percy School for Girls, it's on the condition that she reform her ways. But that's before the charismatic and beautiful Skye Butterfield, daughter of the famous Senator Butterfield, chooses Catherine for her best friend. Skye is a young woman hell-bent on a trajectory of self-destruction, and she doesn't care who is taken down with her. No matter the transgression'a stolen credit card, a cocaine binge, an affair with a teacher, an accident that precipitates the end of Catherine's promising riding career-Catherine can neither resist Skye's spell nor stop her downward spiral.

Nous avons appris comment cette science s’est développée et nous avons pu découvrir l’histoire de certains hommes et femmes qui ont cherché à comprendre et soigner les maux qui ont émaillés l’Histoire de l’Humanité.Cette semaine, nous allons parler d’un domaine bien différent : La physique des lasers et leurs applications avec “Laser : 50 ans de découvertes”. Ce livre a été coordonné par Fabien Bretenaker et Nicolas Treps afin de nous faire découvrir le principe de fonctionnement des lasers ainsi que leurs utilisations, en allant de celles de tous les jours à celles que l’on ne pourrait même pas imaginer!Laser : 50 ans de découvertes de F. Bretenaker et N. Treps.

Crédit : france culture. http://goo.gl/w9xpvwNicolas Treps. Crédit : france culture. http://goo.gl/SLKhwM Fabien Bretenaker et Nicolas Treps sont tous deux des scientifiques de haute volée comme on en rencontre peu. Tous les deux issus de l’École Polytechnique, ils ont chacun réalisé des thèses, puis des recherches dans le domaine très large des lasers et de l’optique.Fabien Bretenaker de son côté est aujourd’hui Directeur de Recherche au CNRS. Né à Metz en 1966, son parcours scientifique commence ainsi à l’École Polytechnique où il va notamment réaliser un DEA sur les lasers. Une fois obtenu, il réalisera une thèse CIFRE (à moitié dans le public, et à moitié dans une entreprise) à Rennes en lien avec la société Sagem. Une fois sa thèse soutenue en 1992, il poursuit quelques années chez Sagem avant d’entrer au CNRS en 1994 en tant que chargé de recherches dans le laboratoire où il avait réalisé sa thèse. Dix ans plus tard, il intègre le laboratoire Aimé Cotton de l’Université Paris Sud et il participe depuis 2005 à divers cours et notamment sur la physique des lasers du tronc commun du M2 « Lasers et matière » de l’École Polytechnique. Ses travaux de recherche couvrent différents domaines de la physique et plus particulièrement de l’optique avec des applications dans des domaines aussi variés que l’informatique quantique ou l’usage des lasers dans les radars.Au cours de sa carrière, il a publié de nombreux articles touchant ces technologies de près ou de loin, il a aussi été auteur ou co-auteur de cinq brevets et reçu un certain nombre de distinctions dont notamment : le prix Fabry de Gramont de la Société Française d’Optique en 1992 mais aussi le prix IBM « Jeune chercheur » de la Société Française de Physique en 1993, ainsi que le prix Fresnel de la Société Européenne de Physique en 2000. Vous allez me dire que je ne choisis que des livres dont les auteurs sont sérieux et distingués de toutes parts. Oui. Étonnamment ils sont de meilleure qualité que ceux écrits par des arrivistes.De son côté Nicolas Treps, plus jeune, ne démérite absolument pas ! Aussi élève de l’École Polytechnique dont il est sorti en 1994, il a réalisé son DEA à l’ENS et a enchaîné avec une thèse, bien sûr sur le thème des lasers, qu’il a réalisé au Laboratoire Kastler Brossel en 2001. Aujourd’hui il est Maître de Conférences à l’Université Pierre et Marie Curie au sein de ce laboratoire où il travaille notamment sur les propriétés quantiques de la lumière ou encore les mesures de très grande sensibilité.Tout comme Fabien Bretenaker, les grands esprits se rencontrent il faut croire, il a remporté le prix Fabry de Gramont de la Société Française d’Optique en 2010. Il a aussi reçu un autre prix en 2013, le prix Jean Jerphagnon pour récompenser son esprit d’entrepreuneuriat et sa volonté, en tant que chercheur reconnu mondialement, de transférer des résultats de recherche dans le monde de l’entreprise. Il a en effet créé une société nommée CAILabs pour valoriser certains de ses résultats de recherche.Histoire de bien finir, ces deux messieurs ont reçu le prix Arnulf Françon 2011 qui vise à récompenser des ouvrages dédiés à l’enseignement de l’optique dans le supérieur.Du lourd quoi.Un livreAvant-proposAlors attention, je viens juste de dire que ce livre a été récompensé pour sa capacité à servir de support pour l’enseignement de l’optique dans le supérieur. Oui. Mais c’est surtout un fabuleux livre de vulgarisation, très accessible, sur l’optique et les lasers. On peut comprendre ce que les auteurs nous expliquent. Pour avoir commencé un “Que sais-je?” sur les lasers qui date de fin 70 auquel j’ai pas compris grand chose, je peux vous l’assurer !Fabien Bretenaker et Nicolas Treps ont d’ailleurs su s’entourer d’un grand nombre de contributeurs, près d’une quinzaine, afin de faire émerger un ouvrage de très haute tenue et réalisé par les personnes les plus compétentes dans leurs domaines respectifs.D’ailleurs, histoire de ne pas bouder son plaisir, cet ouvrage est aussi une contribution forte de la Société Française d’Optique: Michèle Leduc et Emmanuel Rosencher, respectivement Vice-Présidente et Président sortant de la SFO, ont en effet été d’une grande aide aux deux auteurs pour la réalisation de ce livre.Pour finir : les deux auteurs se sont payés le luxe d’une préface par Charles H. Townes, qui n’est rien de moins que l’un des inventeurs du masers, un laser mais avec des micro-ondes, dont le principe est justement à l’origine de l’extension aux lasers. Il obtint d’ailleurs le prix nobel pour ses travaux dans le domaine. La classe quand même !La revueNe craignez rien, ce livre ne va pas vous perdre dans d’innombrables informations incompréhensibles sur les lasers. Non, les auteurs sont bien meilleurs que cela. Ils arrivent, à travers le premier chapitre, à reprendre depuis le début ce dont il s’agit : qu’est ce que la lumière, qu’est ce qui différencie un laser de la lumière “courante”, comment est-ce qu’il marche, etc. Tout ceci est parsemé de rappels historiques, de schémas très clairs et de quelques formules histoire de contenter les plus physiciens d’entre nous. Ceci forme une base parfaite et indispensable pour poursuivre la lecture et découvrir les applications des lasers, mais aussi certains des aspects les plus étonnants et incroyables de certaines d’entre elles.On apprend par exemple qu’il existe des lasers de toute sorte : solides (en rubis pour les plus connus), liquides à colorants ou à gaz avec, bien sûr, des usages extrèmement différents. Ces lasers peuvent aussi varier de manière très forte en ce qui concerne leur taille : de ceux de plusieurs mètres que l’on trouve par exemple à Bordeaux pour la fusion, ou aussi petit qu’un brin d’ADN. On découvre aussi que les lasers sont un peu de toutes les couleurs, du rouge classique au bleu des blu-ray voire à l’infra-rouge ou à l’ultraviolet.On peut aussi se demander : à quoi peut bien servir un laser si ce n’est mettre un peu d’ambiance dans les soirées arrosées du samedi soir dans des boîtes de nuits surchauffées où reigne, parfois, les musiques syncopées et les surplus d’hormones de nos jeunes en quête d’un peu d’amour? Hum.Dans l’industrie par exemple on peu les retrouver pour la découpe précise de matériaux comme pour l’horlogerie de précision avec la découpe de ces pièces minuscules et magnifiques des montres suisses d’exception. On en retrouve bien sûr dans les fibres optiques qui vous permettent d’accéder aux contenus fantastiques que ce podcast cherche à vous mettre à disposition. On les utilise en médecine pour divers usages : correction de myopie, épilation définitive (j’ai d’ailleurs failli choisir une quote en rapport, mais je trouvais finalement cela un peu déplacé), cautérisation de vaisseaux sanguins, traitement de gencives, destruction de calculs rénaux, etc. Si vous êtes dans le batîment vous utilisez des lasers pour mesurer des distances de manière précise, et si vous êtes dans les forces de police, vous en utiliserez pour mesurer la vitesses des automobiles sur les routes.On pourrait croire, décrit comme cela, que les auteurs ne font que survoler les différents sujets, mais pas du tout. Après avoir présenté l’ensemble des applications potentielles, ils vont entrer dans le détail de certaines d’entre elles afin d’en expliquer les tenants et les aboutissants.On apprend par exemple les différents usages des lasers dans la communication : le principe de fonctionnement des fibres optiques qui servent de support à l’Internet mondial, l’usage de différents types de laser pour la lecture des supports optiques comme le CD, le DVD ou encore le Blu-ray. On découvre aussi, ou re-découvre pour ceux qui avaient écouté l’épisode 62 de Podcastscience intitulé “La géologie pour sauver des vies”, les LIDAR, l’équivalent des radars mais dans le domaine optique, notamment utilisés pour l’analyse de polluants dans l’atmosphère ou pour l’analyse précise de la topographie de terrains.Autre usage tout aussi incroyable des lasers que j’avais découvert il y a quelques années : avec des impulsions ultra-courtes, on peut observer des phénomènes ultra-brefs comme les réactions chimiques par exemple. De la même manière, ces impulsions ultra-brèves permettent de réaliser l’ablation de surface de matériaux ou encore de faire de la chirurgie optique qui ne détruira pas les tissus. On a d’ailleurs vu très récemment le télescope Alma annoncer changer d’horloge atomique et passer à l’utilisation d’un maser à hydrogène afin d’être encore plus stable et plus précis dans le temps et de pouvoir créer un radiotélescope par interférométrie aussi grand que la Terre ! Truc de ouf malade quoi.Sans parler de l’usage qui est fait de laser sous terre afin de mesurer des distances de manière ultra-précise dans le but de détecter des ondes gravitationnelles comme pour l’expérience franco-italienne Virgo.J’ai enfin découvert dans ce livre que les lasers peuvent refroidir ! En effet, en créant des ondes stationnaires, on arrive à arrêter des atomes, et donc les refroidir ! On piège ainsi les atomes, ce qui permet de réaliser diverses expériences et notamment la création de condensat de Bose-Einstein.En conclusionJ’ai été assez impressionné par ce livre à vrai dire : il arrive à aborder des sujets qui sont théoriquement assez avancés sans trop perdre le lecteur tout en présentant tout un tas d’applications les plus facinantes les unes que les autres. Il y a quand même quelques équations et parfois il est nécessaire de se creuser un peu la tête pour tout comprendre. Ceci n’empêche pas, malgré tout, de pouvoir sauter ces passages pour aller aux éléments essentiels.Il y a aussi, comme je l’ai expliqué un grand nombre d’applications qui sont présentées, et pour chacune, les auteurs décrivent les aspects théoriques autant que les usages dans ces domaines d’applications. Pour ceux qui ont des inclinations particulières pour certains domaines, ils pourront trouver pléthores d’exemples dans ceux qui les intéressent.Autre point intéressant : ce livre est en couleurs, et étant abondamment illustré, on est à l’aise avec les illustrations, les croquis et les schémas pour comprendre les descriptions données et mieux intégrer les concepts et applications présentés.Un livre qui n’a rien à voirStar Trek - L'histoire non officielle de toute la saga intergalactique. Crédit : goodreads. http://goo.gl/b16wOiPour ceux qui ne le savent pas, je suis un trekkie. Pour les autres, ben vous le savez déjà. Un trekkie, pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas le principe c’est un fan de star trek. Et pas de star wars. Ne confondons pas tout s’il vous plaît. Vous être vraiment impossibles ! Les fan de star wars sont justes des gens qui n’ont pas de vie sociale. Ceux de star trek sont … bon, donc! Le livre dont je voulais vous parler aujourd’hui est “Star Trek - L'histoire non officielle de toute la saga intergalactique”.Cet ouvrage très bien illustré alterne récits historiques, anecdotes et témoignages divers et variés, de fans pour la plupart mais cela va de responsables de fanzine dédiées à star trek jusqu’à des astronautes qui sont vraiment alés dans l’espace. Il présente d’ailleurs une histoire pas si rose finalement : faite d’égo démesurés, de luttes d’influence, de tractations étranges, la vie des médias quoi. L’envers du décor d’un phénomène qui émerveilla depuis plus de quarante ans et qui fut précurseur dans bien des domaines : la légende veut ainsi que les communicateurs de Star Trek soient les ancêtres de nos téléphones portables.Je crois que ce que décrit bien le livre c’est aussi la vision de Gene Rodenberry de la science et des interactions entre humains. Malgré toutes les choses que l’on peut dire sur cet homme, il a su montrer un monde où la science apporte une vision positive et où le racisme n’a pas sa place (il s’agissait du premier “show” avec un personnage principal qui était une femme noire). En tout cas, si vous êtes un trekkie comme moi, ruez-vous sur ce livre où vous apprendrez plein de choses sur votre série préférée !Un livre que j’aimerais lireL'âge du capitaine. Crédit : goodreads. http://goo.gl/6CxJfqBon, des livres que j’aimerais lire, il y en a plein. Je vais vous parler aujourd’hui d’un livre que j’ai découvert, je ne sais plus comment, et qui se trouve être dans la même veine de celui que je vous ai présenté lors du précédent épisode. Il s’agit de “L’âge du capitaine” de Stella Baruk.L’idée qu’elle défend dans ce livre me semble tout à fait indispensable à inculquer à quiconque se trouvant impliqué dans l’enseignement de nos petits banbins (parents-élèves-professeurs) : il n’est pas nécessaire de stigmatiser l’erreur à l’école et notamment en mathématiques, mais plutôt (et c’est quelque chose de plus large que pour les mathématiques) de l’analyser afin d’en tirer des leçons afin de ne pas les reproduire et d’arriver à donner du sens à ce que l’on apprend à l’école. Le titre de ce livre “L’âge du capitaine” s’entend comme la question ultime de tout énoncé sans aucun sens du type “J’ai dix poules, le filet du pêcheur remonte trois poissons : quel est l’âge du capitaine?” en face duquel les enfants ont parfois l’impression de se retrouver si le sens est perdu en route.Stella Baruk est professeur de mathématiques, et défend depuis quelques années cet état de fait : les mathématiques sont utilisées pour noter, et leur enseignement est ainsi perçu comme une certaine violence. De plus, les termes utilisées en mathématiques sont parfois utilisés dans un sens autre/différent par rapport au langage courant, renforçant les mécompréhensions que certains élèves pourraient avoir.Il me semble qu’il est indispensable de comprendre cela pour que les mathématiques, qui sont omniprésentes dans notre monde d’aujourd’hui, puissent redevenir un outil à l’usage du citoyen, et non plus juste un moyen de l’évaluer et de le plonger dans la médiocrité.Ouais, c’est mon quart d’heure militant, mais vous l’aurez compris, un livre que j’aimerais lire !QuoteCette citation est du baron Robert Winston, médecin, scientifique et homme politique anglais :Nearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they're made. So, for example, scientists didn't go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we're still finding things for a laser to do.Robert WinstonPlugs et liens évoquésPetit plug rapide : j’aime bien faire participer les auditeurs en leur demandant quels livres ils souhaiteraient voir revus dans LisezLaScience et je vous avais proposé de choisir le livre qui viendra après celui du prochain épisode. Pendant longtemps “Désir d’Infini” de Trinh Xuan Thuan était en tête. Mais la semaine dernière a été palpitante et a vu la remontée de “Quand les poules auront des dents” de Stephen Jay Gould ! Ce sera donc ce dernier que vous retrouverez dans deux épisodes ! Et histoire de contenter ceux qui ont voté pour Trinh Xuan Thuan, son livre sera le sujet de l’épisode qui suivra :)Cela fait un mois qu’il n’y a pas eu d’épisode ! Désolé. Vraiment. Le temps est précieux et ces dernières semaines il ne m’a pas été permis de vous faire deux épisodes comme prévu. Mais les vacances se profilent et peut-être un peu plus de disponibilité pour reprendre le rythme normal d’une publication toutes les deux semaines.Fabien Bretenaker sur le site du CNRS : http://www.cnrs.fr/70ans/spip.php?article106Le communiqué de presse annonçant le prix Jean Jerphagnon de Nicolas Treps en 2013 : http://www.prixjeanjerphagnon.org/files/CP_Laureat_PrixJeanJerphagnon2013.pdf et l’annonce correspondante sur le site du CNRS : http://www.cnrs.fr/inp/spip.php?article2335Les deux pris de la SFO de Nicolas Treps sur le site du Laboratoire Kastler Boissel : http://www.lkb.ens.fr/Nicolas-Treps-recompense-a-deuxPage wikipédia sur Charles H.
