"Human beings are conversant with the act of 'articulation' from the very beginning. In talking, the sound waves with predetermined meanings convey the information to the listeners.

Chapitre 1 "Je suis né le 23 juillet 1965 à Stoke-on-Trent en Angleterre, la ville où 20 années auparavant était né Lemmy de Motorhead.

L'année où les Beatles sortirent "Rubber Soul" et les Rolling Stones "N°2" leur meilleurs albums de reprises blues. Il y avait une révolution créatrice qui n'a jamais été égalée et je suis fier d'être un produit de ça. Ma mère est noire américaine

The inactive volcano is a modest 13,799 feet above sea level, but when measured from the seabed to its summit, it is 33,465 feet high—about three-quarters of a mile taller than Mount Everest. As far as mountains are concerned, the current convention is that “highest” means measured from sea level to summit; “tallest” means measured from the

Here on Earth, I enter the Teletransporter. When I press some button, a machine destroys my body, while recording the exact states of all my cells.

proches de la frontière constituée par le fleuve Sénégal. La colonisation française forme ce territoire pour des raisons stratégiques, mais s'y intéresse peu. En 1960, lorsque la République islamique de Mauritanie proclame son indépendance, il reste à édifier un État, une nation et une économie. Moktar Ould Daddah, véritable fondateur du pays, s'y emploie pendant près de vingt ans. Mais les tensions sociales, culturelles et économiques, et surtout le conflit du Sahara occidental ont raison de son
