Business, Economics & LawApril 2018Risk and Safety Challenges for Religious Tourism and Events
by Maximiliano E Korstanje, Razaq Raj, Yasin Bilim, Aynur Gülenc Birsen, George Cassar, Ayesha Chowdhury, Alan Clarke, Carlos Fernandes, Danielle Griffin, Kevin Griffin, Maximiliano E Korstanje, Dane Munro, Cyril Peter, Jahanzeeb Qurashi, Yadukrishna P R, Razaq Raj, Hugues Seraphin, Geoffrey Skoll, Bernadette Theodore, Kevin Griffin
Travellers today face many challenges from risk and safety issues. Focusing in particular on risk and safety issues faced by visitors to holy sites, this book looks at the unique challenges raised, where annual religious festivals are commemorated with mass gatherings lasting for days and large crowds require detailed disaster management plans. Beginning with a general section on risk management, covering areas such as disaster management, terrorism, crime and security, the book then delves deeper into specific issues and challenges. It reviews important topics such as understanding the behaviour of crowds, how to perform a risk assessment for a sacred space, and travelling in what some would regard as an increasingly hostile world. Examining critically all risk and safety challenges in this area of management, the book: - Includes a full section of global case studies, as well as discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to translate theory into good practice. - Offers critical thinking on risk, vulnerability and long-term development for mass gatherings. - Covers the importance of disaster management practices and offers practical advice for ensuring attendees' safety. Mitigating risk at mass gathering events and festivals is an area that still needs further research, but this book brings together current thought and provides a valuable reference for those studying religion, tourism and events, as well as event organizers, emergency and hospital services, and local authorities.

FictionGranby au passé simple
by Akim Gagnon
In Granby, Past Tense, we find Akim, his brother and his Pop in the modest mobile home in Granby where he grew up. In this incredibly tender novel and behind Akim’s trashy bravado, we discover ordinary small town misery: unemployment, the father’s solitude and depression, cloyingly close quarter and hygiene that’s thrown out the window, adolescent ineptitude, and the resulting tensions… The Gagnons’ house is full of cracks— both literally and figuratively. Faced with this excruciating spectacle, young Akim seeks refuge in movies, theatre classes and especially the lens of his camera, through which he attempts to remix reality to better tell its story, if not escape it. At once trashy, tender and hilarious, Granby, Past Tense casts a sad yet empathetic eye on depression and anxiety, father-son relationships and poverty.

Children's & YAA STRANGE NEIGHBOURHOOD
During his holidays, Olivier goes into the garden of one of the houses in his village without permission and makes a strange discovery… Is it linked to one of the most famous puzzles in history?
by Florian Dennisson
Olivier, 13 years old, moves with his parents to the countryside after his mother, a history and geography teacher, is transferred to Arville, an old town that prides itself on having a commandery that traces back to the Knights Templar and their preceptor. While walking his friend Thomas’ dog, Olivier watches heavy work in a neighboring property and notices, horrified, that a shovel falls into a huge hole. Curiosity leads Olivier to go back to his neighbors’ garden and, to his great astonishment, uncovers with the shovel some old chests decorated with a kind of logo representing two riders on the same horse. The adventure could have begun here, but because Olivier went on the neighbors’ property without permission, his strict father punishes him: Olivier is grounded for all of summer vacation and will not be able to leave the house.Fortunately, Amanda, who he is secretly in love with, lives across the street and promises to help him.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2019Resistance and practices of rebellion at the age of Reformations (16th-18th centuries)
by Rocío G. Sumillera, Manuela Águeda García-Garrido, José Luis Martínez-Dueñas
The chapters in this volume examine various understandings of theories of political resistance and obedience on the part of myriad authors, Catholic as well as Protestant, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. They consider how the Reformation spurred reflections on the concept of resistance, pondering over the circumstances that would call for resistance and that would sanction it, and the agents who could legitimately initiate and manage the deposition of political, religious and royal authorities. From sixteenth-century Spanish readings of the Reformation, to different episodes of active resistance through France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, to the experience of religious exiles in the English colonies in North America, this volume provides an illustrative sample of case studies on, on the one hand, processes of construction of the rhetoric of resistance, and, on the other, instances of actual uprisings.

FictionLa Princesse au visage de nuit
by David Bry
An intense and harrowing modern tale Hugo, molested by his parents as a child, ran away with his friends in the forest to find the Nightfaced Princess who, as the legend goes, grants the wishes of wretched children, sometimes at the cost of their lives. After a whole night, Hugo came back alone and amnesic. Twenty years later, Hugo learns of his parents’ death. Once back to his land, strange events are occurring. Mysterious lights shine in the woods and the storms are whispering names in the wind. Between investigation and legends, Hugo will retrace his child steps in order to understand how his parents died, how his former friends got lost, and finally find what awaits him in the woods of the Nightfaced Princess. The Nightfaced Princess is the tale of broken childhoods, of adults that had to grow with their wounds. Because we, sometimes, finally succeed to live. And eventually, maybe, to be happy?
