For six years, Britain and Nazi Germany fought a bitter battle for control of the Atlantic. Allied offensives against Hitler's armies on the continent were conditioned by their bases on the British Isles, which made air strikes and landings possible. But during 1939, the Germans began to `starve' the British into surrender by cutting off vital supplies of food and equipment from the Allies. This was done with the help of U-boats that tried to sink more cargo ships than the shipyards could produce - even when these actions were suicidal. Over 100,000 soldiers and sailors lost their lives in these battles. In this book, we meet the soldiers at the front and hear civilians talk about everyday life in a world where even the most seaworthy ship can suddenly be hit by a German torpedo.World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history. Take a trip back in time - to the frontlines of World War 2, to the Viking raids, and to the religious rituals of ancient Egypt. World History is for everyone who would like to know more about the exciting and dramatic events of the past.

L'ouvrage "Les instructions ministérielles" recommande l'utilisation du dictionnaire. Mais ne faut-il pas parler des dictionnaires et prendre d'abord conscience de leur diversité et des présupposés méthodologiques et idéologiques, qui caractérisent chacun d'eux ? L'ouvrage permet de mieux connaître - et de mieux utiliser - quelques-uns des dictionnaires courants, comme le Dictionnaire du français contemporain le Petit Robert, le Lexis, le Dictionnaire Bordas : le contenu et l'organisation de la nomenclature posent des problèmes, dont l'utilisateur doit être conscient, s'il veut tirer tout le parti possible de son dictionnaire ; chaque article fournit - de manière plus ou moins codée - une série de renseignements, dont il faut connaître l'abondance et la structure. On est ainsi amené à préciser des concepts comme polysémie, homonymie, synonymie, etc. La plupart des chapitres présentent des exercices-types, souvent accompagnés de « corrigés ».
