Proposé par Frémeaux & Associés et Forêts et Campagnes d’Avenir, en partenariat avec la LPO (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux) cet ouvrage réunit 3 heures de chants d’oiseaux d’Europe captés et enregistrés par l’audio-naturaliste Jean C. Roché, qui sont les plus proches des musiques monophoniques humaines, jusqu’à la musique classique contemporaine. Ces chants rendent compte d’une variété incroyable de mélodies, de rythmes et de timbres, qui à l’instar des proto-langues de primates, peuvent être considérés comme la proto-musique des hommes.

Le 8 décembre 1995, à la suite d’un accident vasculaire cérébral, Jean-Dominique Bauby est plongé dans un coma profond. Quand il en sort, toutes ses fonctions motrices sont détériorées. Atteint de ce qu'on appelle le " locked-in syndrome ", il est littéralement enfermé à l'intérieur de lui-même ; il ne peut plus bouger, manger, parler ou même simplement respirer sans assistance. Dans ce corps inerte, seul un œil bouge.

Scrappy investigative reporter Deuce Mora is certainly no stranger to dangerous situations—or to getting her clock cleaned, for that matter—but waking up in a swamp next to a plane crash with no memory of how she got there is a whole other order of magnitude. It’s a measure of her desperation that she considers placing her trust in the mysterious swamp hermit with a marginally familiar face who says he needs to hide her in his cabin to protect her from the search helicopters circling above.

Le témoignage bouleversant de Lydia Gouardo, séquestrée, violentée et violée par son beau-père pendant 28 ans. Six enfants sont nés de cette relation forcée, dans l'indifférence totale des voisins, des gendarmes, des services sociaux, de la justice et des médecins. « Pourtant, tout le monde savait ». Le calvaire de Lydia commence à l'âge de huit ans, lorsque Raymond Gouardo, son père non biologique mais légitime, commence à abuser d'elle quotidiennement. En plus de ces sévices, Lydia est régulièrement enfermée dans le grenier, parfois plusieurs mois de suite.

Hard-hitting veteran reporter Deuce Mora is awakened in the pre-dawn hours and called to the scene of a gruesome hanging to identify the body of a dear friend, an FBI agent on the verge of taking down one of Chicago’s biggest Mob operations. Deuce knows it’s murder, but the authorities have no choice but to call it a suicide—the scene was triple-locked from the inside. The ill wind sweeping the Windy City has also whipped up two more unexplainable deaths—of perfectly healthy, able-bodied young mobsters, key witnesses about to flip on the leaders of the Mob operation.

For twenty-year-old Harp Devereaux, life should be idyllic. At university, she feels for the first time in her life that she belongs, her mother Rose is running the Cliff House as a successful business, and her childhood sweetheart JohnJoe is by her side, but the storm clouds of war grow ever darker. For eight hundred years Ireland has made numerous bids for her freedom but now, at last, liberation from British rule is tantalisingly close, if the men and women of the revolution can just hold on.

Harp Devereaux is torn. Part of her desperately wants to return to Ireland to finish what she and her family and friends started, and to witness the departure of the British forces from Ireland after eight hundred long years. But the other part finds life in America during the Roaring Twenties too exciting to trade for the sleepy streets of County Cork.

The day Titanic sails from Queenstown, taking with it the hopes and dreams of so many, Harp’s life too is devastated. The small port town is shaken to its foundations at the loss of the unsinkable ship, but the revelation of a long-held secret means that Harp and Rose have a much more pressing issue to solve, one that could destroy them if they cannot find a solution.

Il y a aujourd'hui une nécessité absolue de transition énergétique, de production décarbonée et de prise en compte de la finitude des ressources indispensables à nos convertisseurs d'énergie, dans un contexte de dépendance de nos sociétés. En outre, nous devrons l'accomplir sous la pression d'accidents climatiques récurrents, de disparition accélérée de la biodiversité et de risques d'effondrements.

Deuce Mora—a pulls-no-punches columnist and meticulous detective—keeps turning up information, bit by bit, only to find some Fed in her face, at her door, emerging from the shadows, always guarding the edges of the story, insisting it will not be told. Yes, the Feds are aware of the trafficking ring. Yes, they have a plan to move on it. No, Deuce can’t be told about the plan, and under no circumstances can she write about its existence.

It’s already been a rough year for first-rate journalistic sleuth, Deuce Mora. After two agonizing investigations—one of which won her a Pulitzer, the other of which forced her to kill a man—she claims she’s sworn off action-packed chases that cause nightmares. Still … from the moment she hears the earliest details of the first fire, her detective-instincts say the pieces don’t fit, and every other instinct tells her she can’t walk away from the story—even though she knows she’ll regret it.

Deuce Mora’s one tough cookie: a female sleuth with a conscience and an attitude; fiery, tough, athletic, a dirty fighter when she has to be. In Jean Heller’s first mystery featuring the scrappy newspaper columnist, Deuce finds out in short order that if you mess with organized crime, you have to be tough—and you’d better be as much detective as reporter. When she walks into a seedy neighborhood bar in a suburb of Chicago—all six feet of her, topped with auburn curls—she’s searching for a human-interest story.

“You will be alone in the great night.” That’s what Papa has always prophesied to her. Papa, who isn’t her real father—he disappeared when she was born. Since then, her mother has been forced to walk the streets to provide for herself and her daughter, while Papa robs and murders for the local gang leader, to ensure his access to ganja and alcohol, but also for the sheer pleasure of it.

"La plus riche vie, que je sache, à être vécue entre les vivants (...) c'est, tout considéré, celle d'Alcibiade à mon gré". C'est par ces mots que Montaigne présente Alcibiade, personnage haut en couleurs, emblématique des guerres antiques. Elève de Socrate, doté d'un insolente beauté, réputé pour sa remarquable éloquence, il a été accusé d'être impliqué dans les scandales religieux de son époque. Soldat intrépide, stratège habile, audacieux, il a permis à Athènes de remporter quelques victoires éclatantes.

Jean-Marie Delacroix recopila en esta obra las experiencias, vivencias y aprendizajes de su interacción con tradiciones terapéuticas de América Latina y de otras latitudes del mundo; sin duda alguna, uno de los primeros textos de índole clínico que explica cómo podemos utilizar el enfoque de la plena consciencia (mindfulness) en el proceso terapéutico. En este nuevo libro, Delacroix desarrolla las nociones de postura meditativa y de meditación intersubjetiva como maneras de introducir la atención plena en la relación paciente-psicoterapeuta.
