"Définir, après les avoir identifiés, les termes juridiques de la langue française, tel est l'objet de ce Vocabulaire juridique. S'appuyant sur un premier travail réalisé par Henri Capitant en 1936, Gérard Cornu a développé "une oeuvre nouvelle par ses entrées, sa méthode, ses auteurs... L'éminente vocation du Vocabulaire juridique est de saisir, dans les définitions, les catégories du droit." Plus qu'une série de définitions de termes et d'expressions, ce Vocabulaire est un outil de consultation et de recherche indispensable aux juristes, mais aussi un instrument de culture générale nécessaire à la compréhension de notre société, dans laquelle le rôle du droit ne cesse de croître. Depuis sa première édition en 1987, son succès ne s'est jamais démenti. Il s'explique non seulement par la pertinence des définitions, mais aussi par ses mises à jour régulières, car le droit est une discipline vivante. Une liste explicative des Maximes et adages de droit français, dont certains en latin, complète l'ouvrage."

Originally published in 1985, this book argues forcefully and practically for new relationship between science and the small farmer. It advocates scientific research seeking out changes which are already taking place within the smallholder farming sector and building on local initiatives. Drawing on his experience of West Africa, the author demonstrates that many of the most successful innovations in food-crop production during the 20th century have indigenous roots and that there should therefore be less emphasis on teaching' farmers how to farm and more emphasis on how to foster and support local adaptation and inventiveness. This book will be of interest to students of agriculture, environmental studies and rural development as well as those working with relief and development agencies.
