Personally, for several years, my preference is for another Tour de France: "Tour de France with two children" , a reader of Augustine Fouillee school, called G. Bruno, published for the first time in 1877 and I have a copy from me that read and reread "staged".

This book was a huge best-seller (8.6 million copies sold), especially because he was "adopted and recommended for school libraries and on the list of books donated by the City of Paris to its municipal schools. .
Can be found here on the site of an article by Valerie Clionautes Fossar, a sort of critical summary of the book, which I borrow the opening lines:
"Through reading the adventures of two young orphans Lorraine, whose ages foster an identification process for students to cycle 3 (Julian is 7 years old) and college (Andrew 14), the book discusses the history of France from its "big characters" yet studied school today (Vercingetorix, Joan of Arc, ...) but also provides information on the nineteenth-century France, between industrialization (...) More traditional crafts and highlighted by the story (...). It depicts a society committed to values constantly reminded of sub-chapter headings (...)".
can also find here an article by J. and M. Ozouf "The Tower France by two children, The Little Red Book of the Republic " ( in places of memory, Book I: The Republic, under the direction of Pierre Nora, Paris, Gallimard, 1984).
can be found here , free full text and illustrations for several publications including the 1877 and 1923. When comparing the two editions, it is interesting to note the deletion of any reference to God, religion, its manifestations, its monuments, which occurred from the 1906 edition, after the promulgation of the 1905 Act on the separation of church and State .
The book contains twenty maps of regions of France covered by the two children, listed in an index card. A gazetteer of place names mentioned in the text is also available.

From this map of a Tour de France, certainly from another era, but was released for free child and that of the next Tour de France which costs 20 € for the version printed on t-shirt, my preference is definitely the first ...

The news: a vision of the world for 60 years

In June 1949, the first newscast (JT) appeared on the screens of some TV stations that existed in homes. These days, presenters current JT celebrate this anniversary in their own way by inviting their colleagues the best known, "institutions" in the art. For its part, the INA provides on its site Audiovisual Archives ("makeover" for some time) many sequences JT for 60 years.

The JT is now a prominent place in the "cosmogony" collective societies, at least in countries where access to television is largely assured. The images broadcast on JT do not just round the world: they "make" the world. The "truth" out now from the mouths of presenters, reporters and cameras of reporters. "But they have said the information!" : Is not that a common currency is meant, thrust as an incontrovertible truth, claiming itself to guarantee the sincerity and credibility of everything that is said and shown at JT?
images of the world now spend on our screens in a loop and now on our computer stations via Internet. And as to drive the nail, specialty channels of information have emerged since the last few years, passing loop every 15 minutes, may cause us to swim in a sort of "saturation informational" dubbed a "tyranny of instant information, "a broadcast anywhere, any time, images of the world live. The information then becomes totalizing and purely emotional, she abandons the field of explanation, back and took time to understand and yield to the temptation of "image manipulation" which explains nothing because it only seeks to move. The "risk totalitarian" never gets very far. This reign of the immediacy of modern times is particularly denounced by Paul Virilio in "The rate of release" where he talks about the world as "Télécité interconnected" introducing new pollution called dromosphérique "(Greek dromos which means race).
As for the supposed "objectivity and impartiality" of journalists, those of JT and the other a long time ago that this illusion has been unmasked and denied, in particular by Serge Halimi "The new watchdogs .
To return to JT, I discovered with amusement that the first images sent back to the first JT, were taken from a camera mounted on a balloon that eventually ... in a tree and partially burned.
can discover the first images on the site of the INA, but here's a preview aired yesterday JT France 3. This is an aerial image of the Hotel des Invalides in Paris:

See the world from the sky is a perspective chosen from the beginning by JT. It is not surprising then to use excessive and sometimes aerial and satellite images in the JT today such as the aerial image simulated perspective recently used to highlight the schools of the 15th arrondissement of Paris who have been affected by the epidemic of influenza A. I always wonder what journalists have tried to explain this using aerial imagery rather than a conventional plan ... Satellite and aerial imagery would it becoming a sort of locator reference for journalists, willing victims of the "googlomapisation" of the world?

What I have also been arrested in the brief history released yesterday was the use and staging, early on, an animated globe in the generic and JT a large globe in the background of submitting JT:

(Copyright France3 INA)
Today we find the use of globes and maps in the animation studios and scenery many JT.
I take this note to indicate that the site of the INA provides here georeferencing of some of its audiovisual archives:

(Copyright INA)
geolocation This archive is based on Google Maps . For now, very few archives have been so géoréférencéees but we imagine that the card will fill up gradually.
access to cartographic archive INA is also available in some cases the site of the INA (in addition to access through a timeline), for example, in the case "Milestones Mediterranean" :

(Copyright INA)
Some contents of the INA are already available on the IGN Geoportal :

"In the 2D visualization interface Geoportal, choose Expert profile, open the theme Utilities and click on the layer Videos INA.
From 1:500 000 scale, the INA pictograms are displayed. Click on a pictogram. An information sheet gives you access to a dozen video clips related to the city your choice. The program is diverse and varied news.
A link also provides access to the site of the INA for those who want to know more on selected excerpts. And eventually, all towns in France have their "video memories".

Unfortunately, for now, all records are unavailable and a superb "Error 404: Page Not Found" appears inexorably .. . "Looking for something on Ina.fr? The page you tried to reach was not found. You may have used a link too old or you have typed the address (URL) incorrectly. " This is also the risk with instant information: that his life is never very long and that the links between information, principle of using the Internet, quickly becoming too old ...

noise maps

2002/49/EC European Directive on the assessment and management of environmental noise (transposed into French law by ordinance ratified by the Act of 26 October 2005 implementing decree No. 2006 - 361, OJ of 26 March 2006 and now included in the Code of Environment) aims, through strategic noise maps to assess in a harmonized way the exposure to noise in the 25 member states. The strategic noise mapping allows a representation of noise levels, to count the population exposed to quantify nuisances and to develop action plans (preservation of quiet areas). The noise maps are developed for large infrastructure and major cities.
For example, here are strategic noise maps of the town of Chalifert , Seine et Marne, developed in partnership with the General Council:

(Source Wikipedia )
Data global (multi-map displays) show that the common Chalifert is primarily exposed to rail noise. The road noise is present in a diffuse and moderate in the territory of the commune. In contrast, the population is not exposed to industrial noise and air, at least according to the criteria of mapping considered in the context of the implementation of European Directive.
Other municipalities have produced maps of noise as the Saint-Etienne example that has given these studies to the company Acouphen Environment:

"The goal is to preserve and improve health and quality of life of people and to include consideration of noise in urban policies in a context of sustainable development. "
bad this interactive mapping online tool does not zoom.

Meanwhile, the BBC has a sound card in the world that has nothing to do with the previous noise maps. This is an open project to users where anyone can submit a sound recording of a few seconds or minutes from anywhere in the world. The objective is to obtain a global map of geo-referenced sounds. This project called "Save Our Sounds" based on the online mapping service from Microsoft, Bing Maps (formerly Virtual Earth):

For now, for France, contributions are limited and focus mainly on Paris:


For lovers of sound cards from a totally different kind, the film Map of the Sounds of Tokyo directed by Isabel Coixet with Rinko Kikuchi, Sergi López, Min Tanaka, who was presented in official competition at Cannes, is soon out on movie screens in France.

Until its release, you can always discover the first images and extracts from the soundtrack to the film site . One can think here of films like "Lost in Translation" by Sofia Coppola or some of the films of Wong Kar Wai, where the soundtrack plays a particular role.

List Two Allusions To Romeo And Juliet

Two ancient geography journals for the general public: Geographia Atlas

The "accident" made me find today on one of the fastest known second-hand books of Paris, the numbers of the former journal Geographia, published in the 50 and 60. This review, which I can not tell what was the publisher no longer exists. It has nothing to do with the current review Geography of the Geographical Society which I have already mentioned several recent issues and "facelift" for 18 months or with predecessors of this review.

In the issue I bought (No. 81 of June 1958), we find a fascinating article by Andre Libault (the 5th article of a series on the History of Cartography ) for on the projection and the line to the clipboard; This article is in fact the occasion of a synthetic history and teaching of Western cartography where mention is made of portolans Portuguese, school mapping Dutch maps Elizabethan Neptune françois or globes of Coronelli.
can find back issues of this magazine to purchase online on specialized sites like this one . Other
journal found by "chance": " Atlas" with the subtitle "Discovering world." This is a monthly journal published by Editions Atlas and prestigious committee of reference "(Scientific Committee): Andre de Cayeux, Yves Coppens, Roger Frisian-Roche, Louis Leprince-Ringuet, Andre Leroi-Gourhan, Jean Rostand, Haroun Tazieff, Paul-Emile Victor, etc..
I managed to get the number 1, dated January 1977:

Contents of this Number 1, an article entitled "The land of men from a plane" , text and Eugene Turri Photo by Georg Gerster sort of ode to the earth and its extraordinary shapes and colors from the sky, long before the recent publications by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
addition to superb aerial photographs of various backgrounds and comments that accomapgnent, this article offers some "Tips for a better look" that provide the information necessary for a passenger on an airliner to choose the best location: "With a little trial, it is possible to find" bonn displaces. "That is to say that even before boarding you have to pick one from which it will be possible in the best conditions to see what interests you. It goes without saying that the first condition is to find a place near a window. Everyone can, to some extent, by observing a map and taking into account the route will follow the device, "project" his flight. "
I do not resist the urge to quote the last lines of the article:
"From up there, we do not distinguish the sign of Man, the materialization of the relationship between man and nature, not feelings and ideas, for this report, are connected and linked together. Feelings and ideas that we can not exclude that an interim basis, our "Geoscope" can not be reduced to entomology, as if the signs left by human activity were only traces of insects. Basically, air travel is a bit like a break, a dream, a respite, after which we feel better still clinging to our city, our neighborhood, in our earthly reality. "
Unless I am mistaken, I think these two magazines have disappeared. They have been replaced by magazines such as GEO , National Geographic French version Geography , "Great News" , "Wild Earth" , "Detours in France" .
to believe the studies on the distribution of national newspapers and magazines in particular, it would cross over several years an unprecedented crisis. Thus, the category of "Press Travel, Gastronomy, Tourism and Transport where you can store most of the magazines mentioned above, shows a net decline since 2002 and continuing.

The only glimmer of hope in this bleak horizon: the "Second Life" magazines, the sale after their publication ("Release Delayed") has the effect of Internet sales of back issues no longer on the newsstands as shown in the diagram from the study of 18th Observatoire de la Presse, a trend confirmed by the 19th Press Observatory (Observatoire de la Presse is the annual event of the French press that gives an overview of the press From the analysis of scattering data of over 1000 titles of OJD , Association for the control of media distribution).
What is surprising is that despite all this mess in the economy of the magazine, some new titles appear as such Traveller. A mind elsewhere " I recently discovered.
