Health & Personal DevelopmentJanuary 2004Les cinq saisons de l'énergie
La médecine chinoise au quotidien.
by Isabelle Laading
Isabelle Laading was born in 1952 and studied and taught Yoga for 25 years, as well as Do-In, and Korean relaxation, before beginning Shiatsu and other oriental health exercises. A study of acupuncture, and Chinese nutrition and herbal medicine completes her training. After her book, Chinese Astrology - A Practical Guide to the Energy of the 9 Stars, published in 1991, The Five Seasons remarkably translates the wealthy experience acquired by the author in traditional Chinese medicine, which she continues to study, practice and teach. Reinforced by its for 4000 years of existence, traditional Chinese medicine gives us, above all else, a key to the art of living that stresses prevention and the necessary harmony between man and the elements. Far from being content to treat, traditional Chinese medicine firstly proposes a healthy lifestyle in direct relationship with the natural cycles. The Five Seasons of Energy is a practical work that draws its lessons from the heart of the Chinese tradition, all the while taking into account the demands of the modern world. It is written in a clear style, which is accessible to everyone. By maintaining a perfect balance between the practical and the theoretical, the author invites us to be attentive and creative in everyday life.

Family & healthSeptember 2018Diététique chinoise
nourrir la vie
by Isabelle Laading
Chinese Nutrition, To Nourish Life The art of eating is one of the main principles of Chinese Civilisation. Chinese nutrition has been consistent for the past 2000 years and is founded upon unchangeable laws that preside over life: Dynamism, Adaptation and Transformation. Eating to preserve or recuperate good health simply requires following these laws, taking into account the specific properties of the foodstuffs we eat and how they are prepared in terms of their energetic flow. Isabelle Laading, also author of the book, The Five Seasons of Energy, has been recognised and appreciated for over twenty years now and offers in this new book a pedagogical approach to traditional Chinese nutrition. After explaining the main concepts of this system, she gives the reader practical means to use them in designing and preparing menus, urging us not so much to radically change our way of eating, but rather to learn to adapt it to our needs. The author has been as painstaking with making principles clear as she has in breaking down a several-thousand-year-old art, which is why her first book, Five Seasons of Energy was so successful. In this book, she delivers, with the same exigence, the fruits of her long experience, practices and teachings of traditional health arts that span 45 years of her life and include: Yoga, Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Acupuncture, Chinese nutrition and phytotherapy, all of which she graciously shares here with her readers.

September 2019Gagner la lutte contre le cancer
La découverte dont la République n' a pas voulu
by Sylvie Beljanski
Mirko et Monique Beljanski ont poursuivi pendant cinquante ans des recherches biologiques financées par l'Etat, dont presque trente ans à l'Institut Pasteur de Paris, les conduisant à l'élaboration de produits efficaces contre le cancer et autres maladies graves. Pourtant, en 1996, ils assistent, impuissants, à la destruction de leur laboratoire par le GIGN. Traumatisée et indignée, leur fille, Sylvie, avocate installée à New York, décide de reprendre le flambeau et crée la Fondation Beljanski, sans se douter de l'aventure qui l'attend. A travers Gagner la lutte contre le cancer, Sylvie Beljanski emmène le lecteur dans sa propre quête, partageant ses émotions et ses doutes, mais aussi son besoin de comprendre, sa soif d'explications tant scientifiques qu'historiques. Le récit est à la fois haletant, amusant, émouvant, et surprenant. La notion de déstabilisation progressive de l'ADN comme cause du cancer, et les solutions que cette vision apporte, deviennent finalement accessibles à tous lecteurs, même sans formation scientifique. L'auteure fait part des publications scientifiques de plusieurs grandes universités américaines qui viennent valider les recherches de ses parents et se concentre sur l'aventure tant humaine que scientifique de la reprise de la recherche aux Etats-Unis. Elle détaille notamment l'effet de l'environnement sur les cellules humaines, base de l'épigénétique, et présente des traitements naturels qui peuvent aussi accompagner les traitements chimio thérapeutiques. Un livre qui interpelle sur les dérives des laboratoires pharmaceutiques et de la recherche de profit en matière de santé et apporte des informations précieuses à toute personne confrontée au cancer

by Blandine Calais-Germain
Anatomy for Movement An Introduction to the analysis of body techniques For almost forty years now, and through 5 successive editions, this book has provided easy access to the bases of anatomy for all people studying anatomy and/ or practicing a body technique. It describes the musculoskeletal system with abundant illustrations: over 1100 commented drawings show the bones, joints, and muscles in direct relation with the movement situations that concern them. The following areas are addressed: The trunk: Spine, pelvis, rib cage. Upper extremities: Shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands. Lower extremities: Hips, knees, ankles, feet. For each area, comments deal successively with: * The morphology of the area * Movements made by this part of the body * Bones, joint structures and the different muscles involved The new edition of this reference book – translated into 19 languages, and sold in over 40 countries – is enhanced with 100 QR codes that provide the reader with a better view of the structures described in the text, thus constituting a new tool for understanding anatomy.

MedicineMay 2019Corriger le pied (nouvelle édition)
sans semelle
by Frédéric Brigaud
Correcting Feet without the Use of Insoles Pronating flat feet and supinating arched feet are no longer inevitable as we once believed: They are essentially the result of “incorrect posture” and can be rectified. This book shines a new light on the way feet work and takes us past the commonly accepted and erroneous idea that the foot is a block and that pronating or supinating feet can only be corrected by wearing corrective insoles or shoes. On the contrary, the foot’s shape can change instantaneously; it can arch, flatten out, become long or even shorten thanks to its articulating joint space and the heel that can move several centimetres sideways, independent of the supporting forefoot. A correctly functioning foot assures a proper junction with the ground and optimises taking a step. It also helps maintain the ankle and is instrumental in preventing sprains. Moreover, it increases recovery in case of losing one’s balance and enables one to develop more dynamic support. The new edition of this book refines testing and corrective protocols from the previous edition, which is now out-of-print, includes new information and develops elements from the presently unavailable Competitive Running book, specifically related to the biomechanics of the foot. The goal of this book is therefore to provide a means to: — View the way the foot functions in a new light, in order to regain control; — Correct pronating and supinating feet without insoles or special shoes; — Stabilise the ankle and step-taking, and thereby prevent sprains; — Develop the foot’s flexibility; — Reinforce the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot; — Develop the dynamics of correctly functioning feet; — Understand the interest of going barefoot to help the feet develop foot muscles and maintain flexibility; — Understand the foot in order to better choose shoes; — Produce and maintain more efficient and correct support and step-taking both daily, and when playing sports.

Die Reisen des Ritters Jean de Mandeville
by Jean de Mandeville
The Livre de Mandeville (Book of Mandeville) is integrated into a composite manuscript - held today at the Bibliothèque national de France under the shelfmark Fr. 2810 - containing a number of texts about the countries of the Middle and Far East which was given the name Livre de merveilles, on account of the wonders described therein, but also because of its wonderful decorations. The author, Jean de Mandeville, refers to himself as a knight who embarked on his journey in the year 1322 and that he travelled not only to see the sites of the Holy Land, but also to countless far countries of the world and many wondrous regions. By combining seemingly familiar elements with mysterious narratives, he achieves an immediacy and freshness that would be enthusiastically welcomed by a wide readership. It is not only the enthusiastic reception of the text, but also the development of a rich iconographic programme that make the Livre de Mandeville such an impressive example of medieval world and travel literature and the most dazzling work representative of the genre.
