Convince A Discussion of Eloquence
Two of France's most celebrated lawyers demonstrate the power of skillfuloration and how it can subordinate the actual facts. Anyone that is fascinated by speech, judicial history, and the art of debate, will truly enjoy gaining the knowledge, power and sense of conquest that this book imparts as they learn from the masters how to use eloquence advantageously. Entertaining, savage and brillant, this dialogue promises to help all with the art of elocution.
Patrice Bourdelais
The Age of the Elderly
Today's sixty-year old hardly resembles the old man of the past. Demographic history since the seventeenth century, reread with the fresh eye of P. Bourdelais, reveals to what extent notions of the elderly and aging have changed. His book is a crucial new contribution to current historical and social debates. P. Bourdelais is the Research Director of the CNRS.
