“Dr. Lyman makes a fascinating connection that is new to me, delving into interactions between the immune system and the conscious mind.” —Dame Sarah Gilbert, developer of the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine Until a decade ago, we misunderstood a fundamental aspect of human health. Although the brain and the body have always been viewed as separate entities—treated in separate hospitals—science now shows that they are intimately linked. Startlingly, we now know that our immune system is in constant communication with our brain and can directly alter our mental health. This has opened up a new frontier in medicine. Could inflammation cause depression, and could arthritis drugs cure it? Can gut microbes alter your mood? Can something as simple as brushing your teeth properly reduce your risk of dementia? Could childhood infections lie behind neurological and psychiatric disorders such as tics and obsessive-compulsive disorder? In The Immune Mind , Dr. Monty Lyman explores the fascinating connection between the mind, immune system, and microbiome. A specialist in the cutting-edge field of immuno-psychiatry, Lyman argues that we need to change the way we treat disease and the way we see ourselves. For the first time, we have a new approach to medicine that treats the whole human being. “A thrilling exploration of how our immune system governs our mental health, all interwoven with Dr. Lyman’s practical advice on safeguarding your well-being. As someone with depression and dementia in the family, I found every page to contain an observation that was invaluable. This absorbing and beautifully written book changes the way we need to view health.” —Dr. Joseph Jebelli, neuroscientist and author of In Pursuit of Memory |

“One of those life-changing reads that makes you see—or, in this case, hear—the whole world differently.” —Megan Angelo, author of Followers “At times chilling, often funny, and always perceptive and cogent, Cultish is a bracing reminder that the scariest thing about cults is that you don't realize you're in one till it's too late.”—Refinery29.com The New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Magical Overthinking and Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how “cultish” groups, from Jonestown and Scientologists to SoulCycle and social media gurus, use language as the ultimate form of power. What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . . Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day.   Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere. |

À partir d'une vingtaine d'affaires, Dominique Verdeilhan nous fait revivre plusieurs procès qu'il a suivis et interroge l'institution : pourquoi l'affaire du « petit Grégory » symbolise-t-elle l'échec de la justice ? Le dossier « Omar m'a tuer » s'apparente-t-il à une erreur judiciaire ? Comment justifier que Patrick Balkany et Jérôme Cahuzac n'aient pas eu le même traitement dans des dossiers similaires ? Maurice Papon a-t-il bénéficié d'une justice laborieuse ? En quoi le crime de Bertrand Cantat a-t-il marqué un tournant dans la lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes ? Pourquoi le cardinal Barbarin, d'abord condamné, a-t-il finalement été relaxé ? En quoi l'affaire DSK montre-t-elle l'opposition flagrante entre le système judiciaire américain et notre système français ? Comment le duo Gentil-Heaulme a-t-il pu bénéficier d'un double acquittement ? La justice a-t-elle tiré les leçons du fiasco qu'a représenté l'affaire « Outreau » ?Au fil des dossiers qu'il rouvre, en s'appuyant sur ses propres archives, Dominique Verdeilhan décode les bases de notre justice pénale : de l'intime conviction au mandat de dépôt en passant par la prison avec sursis, la révision, la prescription, les circonstances atténuantes, la justice antiterroriste, l'influence de la presse, la souffrance des victimes...

Chroniqueur judiciaire sur France 2 et France TV Info pendant plus de trente ans, Dominique Verdeilhan a couvert les grandes affaires judiciaires.

T’épanouir sexuellement, te réapproprier ton plein pouvoir sexuel, t’émanciper dans ta féminité et ta sexualité, ça te parle ? Après avoir constaté le manque flagrant d’éducation sexuelle, les nombreuses lacunes au sujet de ce qu’est réellement une sexualité saine et le sentiment omniprésent que vivent plusieurs femmes qui se sentent anormales, incomprises ou même brisées, j’ai décidé de changer la donne ! Je veux ainsi permettre aux femmes (personnes ayant un vagin) de se déculpabiliser face à la sexualité, de se libérer de la honte face à l’intimité et, surtout, de se permettre d’expérimenter le plaisir ! À travers ce livre, j’ai voulu te faire part des observations que j’ai pu faire lors de ma pratique en sexologie. De l’orgasme à la pornographie, en passant par la cartographie du plaisir, j’aborderai des sujets qui te permettront de redécouvrir ta vie sexuelle sous un nouveau jour et de t’émanciper pleinement ! Autrement dit, mettons les tabous de côté et discutons sincèrement de notre réalité, telle qu’elle est ! Bref, je t’accompagnerai dans la (re)découverte de celle que tu es, en te permettant de : • Déconstruire les messages erronés que la société t’a enseignés au sujet de ta sexualité, de tes relations interpersonnelles, de ta féminité et de ton émancipation au féminin ; • Rebâtir des bases solides qui te guideront sans aucun doute vers un ÉPANOUISSEMENT personnel, sexuel et relationnel COMPLET ; • Bonifier ton ÉDUCATION sexuelle et te donner les outils nécessaires pour faire face aux défis que tu pourrais rencontrer; • Te permettre de faire l’INTROSPECTION nécessaire à ton évolution pour atteindre ton PLEIN POTENTIEL.

From the celebrated Ursula K. Le Guin, "a writer of enormous intelligence and wit, a master storyteller" (Boston Globe), the revised and updated edition of her classic guide to the essentials of a writer's craft. Completely revised and rewritten to address modern challenges and opportunities, this handbook is a short, deceptively simple guide to the craft of writing. Le Guin lays out ten chapters that address the most fundamental components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view. Each chapter combines illustrative examples from the global canon with Le Guin’s own witty commentary and an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group. She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online. Masterly and concise, Steering the Craft deserves a place on every writer's shelf. |

La première partie traite du développement historique de la criminologie. Partant des réflexions philosophiques et politiques qui ont préparé le terrain à l’arrivée du droit pénal au XVIIIe siècle, particulièrement en ce qui a trait aux premières théories de la peine qui en ont articulé une logique punitive, l’auteur présente son développement au XIXe siècle et la rupture des années 1960-1970 où de nombreux chercheurs tentent de sortir de cette logique. La deuxième partie est centrée sur la situation canadienne, explorant les différentes facettes du système pénal. Les caractéristiques du droit et de la procédure pénale, la spécificité des femmes et des Autochtones, ainsi que le rôle de la police en tant qu’acteur au point d’entrée de ce système de justice sont abordés. Le passage devant les tribunaux et la détermination de la peine, l’aide aux justiciables, et particulièrement aux personnes aux prises avec des problématiques de santé mentale, font partie de cette section. En dernière partie, elle s’intéresse aux problématiques contemporaines et la mondialisation des échanges qui ont contribué à l’expansion des objets en criminologie. Elle aborde les mécanismes de surveillance, les banques de données, l’arrivée du secteur privé dans le contrôle des espaces publics, et surtout la redéfinition politique de ce qui constitue l’objet de la surveillance à travers les politiques sécuritaires. Elle conclut avec des réflexions sur la torture, la violence politique et les conflits armés. |

An innovative examination of typography as a medium of communication rather than part of print or digital media. Typography is everywhere and yet widely unnoticed. When we read type, we fail to see type. In this book, Kate Brideau considers typography not as part of "print media" or "digital media" but as a medium of communication itself, able to transcend the life and death of particular technologies. Examining the contradiction between typographic form (often overlooked) and function (often overpowering), Brideau argues that typography is made up not of letters but of shapes, and that shape is existentially and technologically central to the typographic medium. After considering what constitutes typographic form, Brideau turns to typographic function and how it relates to form. Examining typography's role in both the neurological and psychological aspects of reading, she argues that typography's functions exceed reading; typographic forms communicate, but that communication is not limited to the content they carry. To understand to what extent the design and operations of the typographic medium affect the way we perceive information, Brideau warns, we must understand the medium's own operational logic, embodied in the full diversity of typographic forms. Brideau discusses a range of topics--from intellectual property protection for typefaces to Renaissance and Enlightenment ideal letterforms--and draws on a wide variety of theoretical work, including phenomenological ideas about comprehension, German media archaeology, and the media and communication theories of Vilém Flusser and others. Hand-drawn illustrations of typographic forms accompany the text. |

This book provides an easy-to-understand survey of family law across Canada. For those interested in Ontario or other provinces, perhaps working toward paralegal certification, this book provides all the relevant details of family law and competencies in an organized fashion using plain language. The latest amendments to the Divorce Act concerning decision-making responsibilities, parenting time, and contact orders are fully canvassed as are new requirements for moving or relocating, and the broader definition of family violence. Indeed, not all marriages and families are harmonious. There is a thorough review of domestic abuse and resulting trauma as well as legal remedies including peace bonds, restraining orders, and civil contempt. This book also examines the client-centered, trauma-informed, anti-racist approach to providing legal services. The laws of marriage (but not solemnization), annulment, and divorce are essentially the same no matter where you live in Canada. The first six chapters are very informative about those topics and issues of parenting, child support, and financial assistance for spouses. This book also deals with disputes concerning parenting responsibilities, support, and property division that arise when the parties never married but cohabited in a conjugal relationship of some duration prior to separation. While this book is not legal advice, it provides every reader with a solid grasp of their rights and obligations in family matters. And those who will qualify as legal advisers in family disputes will benefit from the breadth of the material and the comparative approach. |

« Ce qui a motivé mon choix de la médecine légale ? Le hasard. J’avais 18 ans, l’âge où tout est possible, et la prêtrise me tentait beaucoup, j’adorais étudier les évangiles, rencontrer les gens, aider ceux qui en avaient besoin, et je me sentais prêt à m’y engager. Mais j’ai choisi de faire des études de médecine et au terme de ma première année, j’ai croisé l’évêque de Liège, que je connaissais, et lui ai confié que j’avais abandonné l’idée de la prêtrise. Il n’était guère surpris, car, selon lui, ce n’était pas la foi qui m’animait, mais une grande soif intellectuelle. » Médecin légiste et professeur en criminologie depuis plus de trente ans, Philippe Boxho est l’auteur de livres qui ont permis à un très large public de découvrir le monde fascinant de la médecine légale dans sa réalité la plus crue, bien loin de l’image véhiculée par la fiction. Il nous revient avec un troisième ouvrage dans lequel il n’hésite plus à se livrer tout en nous contant des histoires vécues, des histoires émouvantes, étonnantes, interpellantes. Son regard acéré sur notre société nous ouvre les yeux sur certains de ses travers et nous invite à la réflexion. Par le biais de ces histoires sur la mort, c’est la vie qui nous apparaît dans toute sa beauté, mais aussi l’humain dans ce qu’il a de plus inquiétant. Du mystère entourant la mort de Napoléon à la fermière noyée dans des circonstances obscures en passant par les dangers du haschich et de l’alcool, il nous immerge plus profondément que jamais dans les coulisses des enquêtes sur les morts accidentelles, les suicides et les meurtres, des plus célèbres aux plus confidentielles. |
