        Livres pour les enfants et la jeunesse

        by Israël (Poochoo) Wiesler

        C’est l’histoire d’un garçon fluet qui au début n’aimait pas manger et il était très maigre, mais ensuite, quand il a finalement commencé à manger – il n’arrêtait plus. C’était terrible: quand il était maigre, son pantalon tombait, et lorsqu’il a gagné du poids, alors les coutures craquaient. Que peut-on faire? Demandez à sa mère qui a une solution pour chaque problème. Ce livre, qui s’est vendu extrêmement bien en Israël pendant les dix dernières années, est devenu récemment encore plus populaire lorsque parents et enfants sont devenus plus conscients du problème de l’obésité chez les enfants. Bien que cette histoire ait une morale, son grand succès (12 éditions ont été publiées à ce jour!) découle principalement de l’amusement que les jeunes lecteurs éprouvent à lire cette histoire. L’auteur, Israël Wiesler (surnommé “Poochoo”), est né à Tel-Aviv et a publié son premier livre, “Quelle bande,” à l’âge de 26 ans. “Quelle bande” a gagné un prix littéraire important, est devenu un best-seller et a été adapté en film qui a eu du succès. Depuis, Wiesler a écrit plus de trente livres et des douzaines de scripts pour des séries de télévisions dirigées pour les enfants et les jeunes adultes. Les ouvrages de Wiesler, écrits avec un sens de l’humour chaleureux et particulier, a gagné six prix littéraires en Israël. Dans le fameux “Lexique Ofek” de la littérature enfantine en hébreu, Wiesler est décrit comme “le meilleur écrivain humoristique pour enfants et jeunes adultes en Israël.” Poochoo est l’un des trois seuls écrivains israéliens à avoir été honorés l’an dernier par l’impression d’un timbre-poste représentant la couverture de l’un de ses livres.

        Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde (Poem for a little girl on the other side of the world)

        by Dieulermesson Petit Frère

        A statement on otherness, a song of love and sincerity, Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde is an invitation into the intimate sphere of the poet. It is the figuration of the paternal real brought to its highest point. A father and a little girl meet somewhere, at the other end of a street or a railway station, to talk about friendship, life and their regrets, to take stock of all their failed acts and to give each other reasons to love each other, despite the distance, the disarray and the madness that can arise from absence.

        Nimbus

        Gedichte

        by Marion Poschmann

        Nimbus, die dunkle Wolke, ist eine Erscheinung aus Schwung, Pracht, Weite, und doch gehört sie dem Formlosen, Ungreifbaren. Sie entfaltet Wirkung, sie bestimmt die Atmosphäre, zugleich entzieht sie sich, bleibt unbeherrschbar. Mit festem Griff und Subtilität, Witz und Zärtlichkeit unternimmt Marion Poschmann in ihren neuen Gedichten den Versuch, Nähe und Ferne zusammenzudenken und die maßlosen Kräfte der äußeren Gegenwart in einen Raum der Innigkeit zu verwandeln. Aber wo ist innen? Die Erforschung Sibiriens vor Beginn der Industrialisierung, flüchtige Begegnungen mit Tieren, die Nuanciertheit eines Farbtons oder die Verletzlichkeit von Eismassen spiegeln ebenso wie die kleinen magischen Praktiken des Alltags die Einzigartigkeit der globalen Veränderung. Nimbus ist eine Feier des Sublimen und des Schönen, mitreißend und formbewusst, unverwechselbar im Ton, lustvoll und philosophisch.

        Under A Dark Cloud

        by Françoise Hoffmann

        Following its declaration of independence in 1948, the State of Israel is credited with “making the desert bloom” as well as integrating millions of Shoah survivors and those in need of escape from the cold winds of antisemitism. This courageous country, proud of its many Nobel Prize winners, has fallen foul of biased media reports fed by propaganda that succeeded in blemishing the positive world image of Israel and has impeded its diplomatic relations.  This testimony describes the impact on the often dramatic daily life of the author by opening a window into intimate human scenes, under the dark cloud that appears in blue skies to announce a violent storm. The cloud serves as a symbol of the paradox of a life of freedom and prosperity on one hand, and never-ending violence on the other.   Israel’s short history is traced step by step by the French Israeli author who has lived in Israel since the seventies. The author unveils a patchwork of myths and falsifications that have created a fake reality now encoded into the awareness of new generations. Reading this book requires an open mind that allows readers to discover a whole new intimate and poignant world.  Françoise Hoffmann was born in France during World War II. Vichy laws made it impossible for her parents to stay in Paris, so they found a safe place to hide. The whole family survived the war. The author lives in Israel and has pursued a lifelong career in social work. 384 Pages, 15X22.5 Cm.  A french synopsis is also avialbe in the following link:   A L'OMBRE DU CUMULONIMBUS: … Témoignage d’une franco-israélienne …

Christopher and Adrian have sworn that no girl will ever come between them again, because there is a sleeping monster inside Adrian, just waiting to hurt his brother. But then Jessa comes to High Moor Grange… Jessa would do anything to find her sister Alice, who has been registered as missing for five years. High Moor Grange is the first clue she has been given after all this time – but apart from a ruin shrouded in mist, all she finds there are the owners of this dilapidated manor house. Jessa suspects that they both know more about Alice’s disappearance than they admit. Christopher wants nothing more than to be rid of her, and constantly gets on her nerves with his arrogance – and even his warm-hearted brother Adrian seems to be harbouring some secrets.

Dark, irresistible and deeply romantic – a modern Beauty and the Beast story by the queen of emotions!

        Gene Flow

        Monitoring, Modeling and Mitigation

        by Wei Wei, Neal Stewart

        Gene flow is a natural process that occurs spontaneously and enables the evolution of life. However, with the release of genetically modified organisms, concerns have focused on introduced foreign transgenes and their dispersal in nature through gene flow. This book examines gene flow of transgenes, such as herbicide resistance genes, with the goal of understanding the factors that may affect the process of gene flow. A greater biological understanding is essential to make sound management regulatory decisions when also taking into consideration the processes that happen in conventional plants. Monitoring, modelling, and mitigation are the three most closely related elements of gene flow. The book includes both scientific reviews and perspectives on gene flow and experimental case studies, including studies of gene flow in soybean and poplar. The authors present diverse views and research methodologies to understand transgene flow. This book: Focuses on applications of gene flow (monitoring, modelling, and mitigation); Includes both review chapters and case studies; Is written by international team of scientists currently working in gene flow. This book will be valuable for students and researchers in genetics, biotechnology, plant science, and environmental science. It also provides key insights of value to regulators of biotechnology as well as policy-makers.
