1300 mots, un itinéraire passionnant à travers la capitale aux mille visages, où se mêlent le passé et le présent. Vous y trouverez sûrement le Paris que vous cherchez...
28 juin 1940, les bottes allemandes foulent les pavés de Paris. Le couple Blach et leurs deux enfants, France et Marc, ont fui la capitale pour Toulouse. Leur chemin croise celui de Gabriel et de son frère Paul, cet enfant mal aimé qui, bien qu'adulte, recherche toujours l'amour de son père.
Celui-ci conçoit pour France une passion maladive au nom de laquelle il commettra une irréparable ultime trahison.
Un immeuble de cinq étages dans le quartier toulousain de Croix-Daurade, bâti sur les vestiges d'une ancestrale demeure remontant aux temps où sévissait la peste. Seize occupants, chacun débiteurs de leur passé ; des secrets, des enjeux de vie. Des couples à l'équilibre précaire. Contraints à un confinement sanitaire, ils entrent progressivement dans une spirale destructrice : paranoïa, hallucinations, violence...
Les drames s'enchaînent sans qu'il soit possible d'en déterminer précisément l'origine. Une ancienne malédiction ? Le développement des ondes électromagnétiques ? L'effet d'un virus ciblant les zones cérébrales ou le simple fait de ne pouvoir échapper à ses propres démons ?
L'Enfer s'ouvre sous leurs pieds.
« Qui a tué la petite Ana ? ». Une phrase à peine lisible dans le journal intime d'une vieille dame démente, découvert par Meredith Howard, auteure à succès en panne d'inspiration. Persuadée de tenir un futur best-seller, Meredith suit une piste qui la conduit en 1939 à bord du Saint-Louis chargé de Juifs chassés par les nazis vers Cuba, en Irak lors du sac du musée de Bagdad, puis de nos jours à Graulhet devant le réfrigérant député Sherbert et son mystérieux portrait.
Un itinéraire aux détours mortels, jalonné de secrets venimeux. Mais de quel acte irréparable Meredith doit-elle soulager sa conscience avant la sortie de son roman ?
Un village perché sur les hauteurs du Tarn. Son épicerie, son médecin, son infirmière, sa carrière... et sa maison de retraite ! Un monde clos, un hiver rude et une tempête de neige qui isole le village. Des comportements qui changent soudainement, des résidents de la maison de retraite qui décèdent suite à des comportements inexplicables et la folie qui s'empare de tout le village. Paranoïa, schizophrénie, hallucinations, ce cocktail détonnant va pousser au cours de cette longue nuit d'hiver, la population à s'entretuer, chacun persuadé que l'autre en veut à sa vie ! Quelques personnes semblent épargnées et tentent de résister et de comprendre.
Empoisonnement collectif ? Virus ? Manipulation mentale à grande échelle ? Expérience scientifique qui tourne mal ? Lorsque le jour se lève et que la tempête se calme, les rares survivants n'auront pas trouvé les réponses...
Et si tout recommençait ailleurs ?
This book explores how social media and its advances enables citizens to empower themselves during a crisis. The book addresses the key issues related to crises management and social media as the new platform to assist citizens and first responders dealing with multiple forms of crisis, from major terrorist attacks, larger scale public disorder, large-scale movement of people across borders, and natural disasters. The book is based on the results and knowledge gained during the European Commission ATHENA project which has been addressing critical issues in contemporary crisis management and social media and smart mobile communications. This book is authored by a mix of global contributors from across the landscape of academia, emergency response and experts in government policy and private industry. This title explores and explains that during a modern crisis, the public self-organizes into voluntary groups, adapt quickly to changing circumstances, emerge as leaders and experts and perform life-saving actions; and that they are increasingly reliant upon the use of new communications media to do it.
Miriam Waddington's verse is deceptively accessible: it is personal but never private, emotional but not confessional, thoughtful but never cerebral. The subtlety of her craft is the hallmark of a modernist poet whose work opens to the world and its readers. She details intoxicating romance and mature love, the pleasures of marriage and motherhood, the experience of raising two sons to adulthood, and the ineffable pain of divorce. As she moved through life, she wrote clearly and uncompromisingly about the vast sweep of Canada, her travels to new lands, the passage of time, the death of her ex-husband, the loss of close friends and, later, of growing old.

Il fallait avant tout choisir le sujet sur lequel je ferais l'essai de la méthode psychologique, afin d'en montrer toute la puissance par le fait même. Mais à quelle partie de la logique convenait-il de m'attacher d'abord, sinon à celle qui a longtemps passé pour être la logique elle-même, c'est-à-dire à la théorie du raisonnement ? Sans abonder dans le préjugé vulgaire qui borne l'art de penser à l'étude du syllogisme, il faut bien reconnaître qu'entre toutes les méthodes spéciales dont la logique possède une théorie, la plus ancienne, la plus célèbre et la mieux connue est la méthode déductive.Fruit d'une sélection réalisée au sein des fonds de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, Collection XIX a pour ambition de faire découvrir des textes classiques et moins classiques dans les meilleures éditions du XIXe siècle.
The past ten years have been marked by a series of high profile and heavily mediatised riots across the globe. From the overspill of racial tensions in Sydney to anti-police riots in London, democratic societies have witnessed powerful and costly outbursts of anger and violence. But what are the causes of these large-scale episodes of collective disorder? Do they share common features? And what can they tell us about the nature and significance of riots more broadly?
In this book, the authors address these questions and more with a wide-ranging comparative study of rioting in five countries (Australia, England, France, Greece and the United States). Using a revised and expanded version of the Flashpoints Model of Public Disorder, Matthew Moran and David Waddington dissect these violent and ephemeral social phenomena, laying bare their internal logic and demonstrating the essentially political nature of riots.
This collection addresses intersections and gaps between practice, theory, and research that both connect and divide compassion and pedagogies. In foregrounding practice, it makes an important contribution to the growing call for universities and educators to adopt inclusive student-centred approaches that challenge us to fundamentally re-think what universities do. It celebrates the role of students as co-creators of knowledge, locating them at the heart of what pedagogies of compassion in higher education should feel like and look like. It examines how compassion can become both critical and strategic in order to disrupt systems and orthodoxies that are no longer fit for purpose in a post-pandemic world. The ultimate goal the book aims to address is the need for humane universities driven by compassion, rather than profit, which can help to build fairer and more socially just societies.
The book extends the theoretical and practical discussions of compassion as a fundamental organizing principle in higher education. It brings fresh interdisciplinary thinking, theories and approaches including the neuroscience of compassion, classical Eastern philosophies, intersectional compassion, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. It also includes critical reflection on experiences, challenges, barriers, and enablers, across multiple levels and perspectives. These range from reflections on compassion in the classroom to compassion in the boardroom, as well as in the many other spaces and places where learning occurs. It offers a creative collection of essays on compassionate practices in higher education, and appeals to anyone who is concerned about the moral standing of the university.
`For some time now, we have been told that universities must be viewed on the business model, but this has only discouraged faculty, students and staff. As the contributors show, however, the very idea that teaching and educational practices could be more closely linked to compassion is definitely appealing, and it gives us a more inspiring way of thinking about the university of the future.'
