From surgeon and bestselling author Atul Gawande, a book that has the potential to change medicine—and lives.   Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should.   Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering this dynamic has produced. Nursing homes, devoted above all to safety, battle with residents over the food they are allowed to eat and the choices they are allowed to make. Doctors, uncomfortable discussing patients’ anxieties about death, fall back on false hopes and treatments that are actually shortening lives instead of improving them. And families go along with all of it.   In his bestselling books, Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon, has fearlessly revealed the struggles of his profession. Now he examines its ultimate limitations and failures—in his own practices as well as others’—as life draws to a close. And he discovers how we can do better. He follows a hospice nurse on her rounds, a geriatrician in his clinic, and reformers turning nursing homes upside down. He finds people who show us how to have the hard conversations and how to ensure we never sacrifice what people really care about.   Riveting, honest, and humane, Being Mortal shows that the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life—all the way to the very end. |

Au soir du 24 juin 1859, Henri Dunant (1828-1910) est à proximité du champ de bataille de Solférino. Le terrible affrontement entre les troupes piémontaises et françaises de Napoléon III et l'armée autrichienne vient de s’achever. La victoire française est totale mais la situtation humanitaire est déplorable. Ce que Dunant voit l’ébranle au plus profond de son être : environ 38 000 morts et blessés gisent sur le champ de bataille sans que personne ne leur prête assistance. Il organise alors spontanément, avec l’appui de volontaires recrutés parmi la population civile locale, la prise en charge des soldats blessés et des malades. Trois années après sa visite auprès de Napoléon à Solferino, les blessures, les hurlements d'agonie et les odeurs de putréfaction hantent toujours son esprit. Son témoignage, « Un souvenir de Solférino » est un texte fondateur de l’histoire de la Croix rouge et de l’action humanitaire internationale. |

L'intervention de Claude Hagège tente de transmettre, sur un mode peu académique teinté d'humour, son approche passionnée des langues, allant de pair avec un examen scientifique de leur origine, leur évolution, leur statut et leur avenir. Habité depuis l'enfance par l'amour des langues, il expose son cheminement de linguiste fasciné par l'immense diversité des idiomes et avide d'en explorer les secrets."Parler, c'est tricoter se lit aisément et permet de mesurer «en un mot», si on peut dire, que le linguiste, un puits de science, un radical, un ironiste, plus que les langues, aime les gens, dans leur infinie diversité." Robert Maggiori, Libération |

The complete step-by-step guide to the 6-week exercise program in J.P. Muller's famous workout book, "My System." In "My System," Muller lays out a six-week program of exercises meant to bring the user from his or her individual starting point to a vigorous 15-minute workout consisting of 18 exercises. To do this, he builds-up the routine gradually, starting with a simple workout and increasing the degree of difficulty in a systematic way until the practitioner reaches the sixth-week and achieves the full routine. Our guide breaks the six-week program into pieces, detailing each of the exercises at every step of the program. "My System" is a book written by Lieut. J.P. Muller in 1904. J.P. Muller was a famous athlete and his book started an exercise movement across Europe. It’s reported to have sold well over 2 million copies and has been translated into 25 languages. Muller then opened a prosperous institute in London and wrote a series of other books based on his system. "My System," endorsed by doctors, kings, princes, celebrities (including author Franz Kafka), and fellow athletes, is reported to have been one of the best selling fitness books in history. |

Forget about drilling, filling, and the inevitable billing. Your teeth can heal naturally because they were never designed to decay in the first place! They were designed to remain strong and healthy for your entire life. But the false promises of conventional dentistry have led us down the wrong path, leading to invasive surgical treatments that include fillings, crowns, root canals and dental implants.  Now there is a natural way to take control of your dental health by changing the food that you eat. Cure Tooth Decay is based upon the pioneering nutritional program of dentist Weston Price, former head of research at the National Dental Association. Dr. Price's program proved to be 90-95% or more effective in remineralizing tooth cavities utilizing only nutritional improvements in the diet. Cure Tooth Decay is the result of five years of research and trial and error that started as one father's journey to cure his daughter's rapidly progressing tooth decay.  With Cure Tooth Decay you will join the thousands of people who have learned how to remineralize teeth, eliminate tooth pain or sensitivity, avoid root canals, stop cavities -- sometimes instantaneously, regrow secondary dentin, form new tooth enamel, avoid or minimize gum loss, heal and repair tooth infections, only use dental treatments when medically necessary, save your mouth (and your pocketbook) from thousands of dollars of unneeded dental procedures, and increase your overall health and vitality.  Cure Tooth Decay provides you with clear and easy to understand dental facts to help you make healthy, life-affirming choices about your dental health. It is about healing cavities without dental surgery or fluoride.  Cure Tooth Decay highlights include:  conventional dentistry's losing war against bacteria, why people fear the dentist and what you can do about it, a cavity-healing program that is easy to follow, the cause of dental plaque and an amazing technique to reverse gum disease, understanding ideal jaw position and TMJ dysfunction, x-ray proof that cavities can heal, how to heal children's cavities and find peace, why women get cavities during pregnancy and how to stop it, and so much more. |

#1  NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER •  NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND JAMIE FOXX • A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice—from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time. “[Bryan Stevenson’s] dedication to fighting for justice and equality has inspired me and many others and made a lasting impact on our country.” —John Legend NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN  • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times • The Washington Post • The Boston Globe • The Seattle Times • Esquire • Time Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. Winner of the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction • Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Nonfiction • Winner of a Books for a Better Life Award • Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • Finalist for the  Kirkus Reviews  Prize • An American Library Association Notable Book “Every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so . . . a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.” —David Cole, The New York Review of Books “Searing, moving . . . Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America’s Mandela.” —Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times “You don’t have to read too long to start cheering for this man. . . . The message of this book . . . is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful.” —Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review “Inspiring . . . a work of style, substance and clarity . . . Stevenson is not only a great lawyer, he’s also a gifted writer and storyteller.” — The Washington Post “As deeply moving, poignant and powerful a book as has been, and maybe ever can be, written about the death penalty.” —The Financial Times “Brilliant.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer |

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “We should aspire to Colapinto's stellar journalist example: listening carefully to the circumstances of those who are different rather than demanding that they conform to our own.” —Washington Post The true story about the "twins case" and a riveting exploration of medical arrogance, misguided science, societal confusion, gender differences, and one man's ultimate triumph In 1967, after a twin baby boy suffered a botched circumcision, his family agreed to a radical treatment that would alter his gender. The case would become one of the most famous in modern medicine—and a total failure. The boy's uninjured brother, raised as a boy, provided to the experiment the perfect matched control. As Nature Made Him tells the extraordinary story of David Reimer, who, when finally informed of his medical history, made the decision to live as a male. Writing with uncommon intelligence, insight, and compassion, John Colapinto sets the historical and medical context for the case, exposing the thirty-year-long scientific feud between Dr. John Money and his fellow sex researcher, Dr. Milton Diamond—a rivalry over the nature/nurture debate whose very bitterness finally brought the truth to light.  A macabre tale of medical arrogance, it is first and foremost a human drama of one man's—and one family's—amazing survival in the face of terrible odds. |
