Setting Educational Limits for Your Child
by Caroline Goldman
The toddler spontaneously explores the world in a chaotic way, guided by instinct and pleasure. From the age of one, however, they need the adults around them to help them give a more structured format to their relationships and behaviour.Many parents rightly refuse to give in to the ordinary educational violence of yesteryear. They endeavour to follow the principles of positive education, and to tirelessly explain and repeat the taboos to their child. Despite this, they find themselves confronted with a deterioration in their child's attitude - refusal of authority, intolerance to frustration, verbal, and physical aggression, etc. This short, didactic book, written without a lot of double talk by a clinical psychologist and mother of four children, is a plea for the return of common sense in education. The author places the learning of limits at the centre of a serene psychological development by pointing out the pitfalls of positive discipline. Using a practical and very detailed roadmap, she justifies the use of a single non-violent educational action to quickly resolve the child's behavioural problems and in turn re-start the virtuous circle of peaceful relationships and self-confidence.

September 2023Islamic civilisation
by André Miquel
André Miquel, a great specialist, and lover of this extremely rich and complex universe, has written a well-documented and scholarly vision of the multifaceted forms of Islam which is more than ever present at the heart of international political life.

The author understands Islam as a whole, without omitting the differences and particularities that constitute the very richness of this religion. Henry Laurens has rewritten and updated the final chapter which considers the orientations of the last decade, in particular the importance of the Middle East conflict and the rise of terrorist activity. A vast updated chronological table completes this essential text.

April 2023The Tool Box of Soft Skills in Healthcare
by Jean-Marc Desmet, Jérôme Hoarau
Preface by Robert Dilts, a respected developer, author, trainer, and consultant in the field of leadership and change. He is a pioneer in the field of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). If medicine is a science which requires knowledge and know how, it is also an art of knowing how to behave. The technical aspects of health care are evolving at a dizzying speed and yet there remains one factor that cannot be transformed so quickly: the human factor. Far from the widespread belief that behavioural skills are innate, this book provides the reader with concrete experience on how to grow, develop, and discover the power and the impact of soft skills.

September 2023Geopolitical Atlas of the World
100 Maps to Understand Our Chaotic World
by Pascal Boniface, Hubert Védrine
How do history, trade flows, ecological issues, religions and terrorism structure the world as we see it today? An international community, a clash of civilizations, a chaotic world, what is the state of international relations between the great powers? Against Western bias and the anxiety-provoking vision conveyed by certain media, Pascal Boniface and Hubert Védrine find logic where there seems to be only chaos. By reintroducing reason and hindsight into the analysis of a complex world, they show that one of the keys to the future is to consider the diversity of world views according to countries and peoples. Supported by an exceptionally rich library of 100 didactic maps, the authors cast an unprecedented and all-encompassing look at the planet (United States, China, India, Europe, South Africa...) and the challenges of the contemporary world.

February 2023The Geopolitics of Wheat
A Vital Product for Global Security
by Sébastien Abis
This book explores the hidden face of globalization over a lengthy period of time across several continents to reveal the permanent power of wheat. It is a compelling reminder of the strategic nature of agriculture. Wheat embodies the extent to which a food commodity determines global security and the evolution of power relations between the few countries that produce it and the others who have recourse to international markets to satisfy their needs. For it is wheat that has been the staple diet of populations over time. When it runs out, there is unrest and fear. If necessary, it regains its political centrality. Wheat enters the lives of billions of people every day. While its consumption is becoming global, it remains very unevenly distributed on the planet. Discover the strategic challenges of wheat worldwide in terms of production, consumption, and trade, from climate change to the war in Ukraine to the food crisis. A concise and educational introduction to a complex geopolitical issue.

October 2023A Brief History of Geography
From Ulysses to Christopher Columbus
by Jean-Jacques Bavoux
At the crossroads of four major fields of thought - imagination, science, philosophy and religion - the history of geography looks back at the foundations on which the geographies of modern and contemporary times were established. The aim of this innovative synthesis is to retrace two millennia of geography through a major historical journey. It first attempts to define and delimit the place of geography within the field of knowledge and scholarly circles. It then analyses its main objects of study, namely the unveiling of what the planet is, and the exploratory description of the components on its surface. Finally, this book examines the conceptual foundations and methodological standards

October 2022The Bloody Republic
Berlin and Vienna, the Sources of Nazism
by Jean-Numa Ducange
The end of the First World War saw a revolutionary wave sweep across Europe. In Berlin and Vienna, the defeat of the two great Empires led to the proclamation of republics in November 1918. The workers parties rose to power. In response to aspirations for radical democracy and a world free of war and exploitation, social laws were enacted, but the most radical fringes wanted to go further and draw inspiration from the new Soviet model. Rosa Luxemburg, their flag bearer and symbol, was assassinated on 15th January 1919 by the Free Corps with the support of the new social-democratic government. A few months later, in Munich, a short-lived Bavarian socialist republic was also crushed in bloodshed... by individuals who, for some, would become close to Adolf Hitler. In the 1920s, the division of the workers movement, among others, allowed nationalism to develop over the next decade which led to the crushing of the world’s oldest and most powerful workers parties within a few months by Nazism.

October 2023Sensory Approaches in Aromatherapy
Using Essential Oils in Emotional Well-being
by Michel Faucon
Foreword by Dr Gisèle Archipoff, scientific director of the Herbarium, Université de Strasbourg. In addition to the classical objective analytical approaches (biochemical composition), the sensory approaches (in particular long olfaction) represent a new, subjective, very intuitive and fine-tuned approach to the knowledge of plants and their essential oils. They extend the existing conventional scientific approaches. Thanks to the reasoned and methodical use of carefully chosen “medical quality” essential oils, they can be used in certain complementary treatments for patients. The first comprehensive treaty to approach aromatherapy from a sensory perspective (touch-massage-olfaction, etc) and which is increasingly practised in the accompaniment of dependent persons, as well as in psychotherapy.

February 2021Je suis le courant la vase
by Marie-Hélène Larochelle
Athletic Centre, Toronto. Under her coach's watchful eye, a swimmer struggles against the liquid element to improve her time and earn a spot in national competitions. The training sometimes continues outside the athletic center, in his apartment, where she must submit to rituals designed to free her from her resistance. Marie-Hélène Larochelle's novel recounts this relationship of power and desire. It tells of what one must sometimes embrace to reach the highest levels of athletic performance. Readers follow the athlete and her team as they train and compete, swimming and almost drowning with her in all kinds of waters. Je suis le courant la vase echoes the recent revelations that shook the sport world, and despite all the chlorine and salt that suffuse the text, the experience leaves a feeling of being dirty and bruised.

September 2021La pierre au milieu d'eux tous
by Caroline Renédebon
In the garden of her Parisian home, the narrator discovers by chance a modest tombstone. Haunted by the deceased’s date of birth, which except for the year, is the same as her own, she becomes intimate with a discreet and disturbing presence that settles in her life. A century after Marie’s death, leaving Paris to settle in Quebec, the narrator feels more than ever the urgency to write in order to give back, fictitiously and with a moving respect, an existence to someone she knows nothing about. What to do with what is only a name but is nonetheless a life that ends in the middle of a war at the age of thirty-six? Alternating between excerpts from notebooks written since 2017 and a story set against a historical background, La pierre au milieu d’eux tous is the imagined delicate portrait of a woman who escapes the shackles of early 20th century conventions through imagination, dance and the secret relationship she builds with her daughter.

August 2021Sur la route des grandes sagesses
by Jean Bédard
The story begins in Galilee, around the year 30. Jairus, a young rabbi, questions his own religion as well as the Greek materialism preached by his wife, both of which only breed hatred. This is the time when a strange carpenter from Nazareth offers to stop the violence with love and reconciliation. “Good for the children,” thinks Jairus, choosing Instead to take over his father’s business (trading in rare manuscripts on the Great Silk Road). Across the deserts, mountains and vastness of Persia, Kashmir and Tibet, Jairus and his daughter will face the usual cruelties of civilisations, and encounter priests of Zoroaster, Buddhist monks, Taoist sages... The beauty of the world and the wisdom of a few masters will transform them. When Jairus returns to Galilee thirty years later, he will no longer be insensitive to the actions of the famous carpenter who has turned the whole of Jerusalem upside down, the same one who once brought joy to his daughter when she was in the throes of despair. This story is based on a deep knowledge of history, customs, human nature and the main philosophies that still condition human existence. This novel, with well-crafted and engaging characters, offers unforgettable scenes where humour and love, depth and lightness give us hope. The author’s quest is expressed in simple, everyday, contemporary language. An ideal read for those who are not looking for life guides, but for an intimate metamorphosis that expands the heart.

September 2021L'horizon des évènements
by Biz
Reprising the characters from his 2017 novel La chaleur des mammifères a few years later, Biz here casts a sociological look on academia, in the time of trigger warnings, snowflakes and cancel culture. With humour, he depicts the fear that grips those who are supposed to educate but who grovel to preserve what they have acquired, namely a job, and some power. The result is the portrait of a milieu that no longer knows what it stands for... Filled with references to brilliant writer of ill repute Louis-Ferdinand Céline, this tragicomedy raises the question of teaching at a time when everyone’s sensibilities mustn’t be offended and when ignorance is bliss, always preferable to knowledge that hurts.

September 2021Plie la rivière
by Audrée Wilhelmy
With an ever powerful writing, carried away by the animal strength that takes her back to the raw world of Oss – where the uniqueness of her literary universe was revealed – Audrée Wilhelmy delivers a tale of full maturity whose erotic spell will bewitch readers. Noé, known as the Little One, leads this amoral story of male trinity – of father, son and bear – through her body, first as a child and then as a woman. A fetish character in Audrée Wilhelmy’s work, Noé, the untamable, the implacable, the insubordinate, meets young Emessie, a travelling candy salesman who criss-crosses the continent in his horse-drawn cart every year. This time, however, losing his virginity to Grumme – the obese shopkeeper – and magnetised by Noé, he’ll serenely overcome the fear of the secret beast within him: perhaps this totemic bear that the little girl will have first tamed by the animistic impulses that make her an initiatory character through whom others are fulfilled. This text, as delicate as amber, once again gives the measure of an immense writer.
