Описание: From New York Times bestselling author Meryl Gordon, the definitive biography of Huguette Clark, who went from being one of the wealthiest and most famous Jazz Age socialites to spending the last twenty years of her life hiding out in hospitals. Born in 1906, Huguette Clark grew up in her family's 121-room Beaux Arts mansion in New York and was one of the leading celebrities of her day. Her father William Andrews Clark, was a copper magnate, the second richest man in America, and not above bribing his way into the Senate. Huguette attended the coronation of King George V. And at twenty-two with a personal fortune of $50 million to her name, she married a Princeton man and childhood friend William MacDonald Gower. Two-years later the couple divorced. After a series of failed romances, Huguette began to withdraw from society--first living with her mother in a kind of Grey Gardens isolation then as a modern-day Miss Havisham, spending her days in a vast apartment overlooking Central Park, eating crackers and watching The Flintstones with only servants for company. All her money and all her real estate could not protect her in her later life from being manipulated by shady hangers-on and hospitals that were only too happy to admit (and bill) a healthy woman. But what happened to Huguette that turned a vivacious, young socialite into a recluse? And what was her life like inside that gilded, copper cage?

Le pr?sent ouvrage regroupe des articles issus de deux manifestations qui ont eu lieu en 2014 dans la R?gion m?tropolitaine trinationale du Rhin sup?rieur : le colloque « Eurographics 2014 – Immersion pour l’apprentissage et l’?ducation » et l’atelier de recherche franco-allemand « L’apprentissage m?diatis? des langues dans la r?gion transfrontali?re du Rhin sup?rieur : ?tat des lieux et perspectives ». Les articles y rendent compte de la diversit? des outils technologiques utilis?s pour l’apprentissage en g?n?ral, et plus sp?cifiquement celui des langues. Les auteurs pr?sentent les potentialit?s de ces technologies, par exemple, celles du Tableau Blanc Interactif, des plateformes d’apprentissage ou encore de la r?alit? virtuelle qui plonge l’apprenant dans un monde enti?rement cr?? par ordinateur. Les activit?s d’apprentissage informel en ligne, telles que le visionnage des s?ries t?l?vis?es, y sont ?galement abord?es. Les contributions recueillies interrogent l’adaptation technique et surtout les apports de ces outils pour l’apprentissage en g?n?ral et pour l’acquisition des langues en particulier.
