Is it obvious that a network of neurons can explain how we see? There is an apocryphal story about the mathematician Hardy, who wrote an equation on the blackboard and said "The proof of this is obvious." After a little while he murmured "At least I think it is," and left to check the proof in the library, only returning just before the end of the lecture to announce "Yes, it is obvious." Sometimes, mathematical techniques are necessary to be sure that a network with a given set of properties will generate a particular visual phenomenon. The geometrical concepts of vectors and manifolds are...

Il y a maintenant 50 ans, la Commission royale d'enquete sur le bilinguisme et le biculturalisme publiait son rapport final. Fruit de recherches innovantes et de consultations publiques dans tout le pays, truffe de donnees et de concepts, celui-ci tracait la route pour l'etablissement d'une politique coherente de bilinguisme officiel, qui allait changer profondement et durablement le visage du Canada. A la volonte d'affirmer le caractere officiellement bilingue du pays s'est greffee celle, non moins persistante, de faire du francais la langue commune des Quebecois. Cet ouvrage jette un regard...

Proceedings of the international symposium, "Language Planning in Capitals and Urban Environments," held March 25-26, 2010 at the University of Ottawa, with sponsorship from the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute, Canadian Heritage, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages and the City of Ottawa. The Language Planning in Capitals and Urban Environments Symposium brought together administrators and researchers from Canadian and European cities to discuss language planning in urban environments. Two important concepts emerged from the proceedings: municipal...
