Itinerary of an Abused Child Hate, love, and life

A powerful testimony enriched with a reflection on children’s psychological defences against abuse. Seen as a positive psychological process, this approach to hatred — an unusual concept — can light the path of many people who consider themselves affected.

Alfred Sauvy

The Sources of Humour

With a view as encyclopedic as it is malicious, Alfred Sauvy invites us to journey through centuries and cultures in search of that eternal antidote to sadness and pedantry: humor. Faithful to his own voice, the author voluntarily leaves the floor to the humorists and offers us a pivotal reference work that combines erudition with an anthology that is full of alacrity. Alfred Sauvy (1898-1990) was a professor at the Collège de France, created and directed the Institut de Conjoncture, and later the National Institute of Demographic Study. Member of the Economic and Social Council of Paris, he was a longtime representative of France at the United Nations.

Between Hope and History Meeting America's Challenges for the 21st Century

For many people, America remains a model. A model of an economy in full growth, a model of a society which has created millions of jobs, a model of a nation reuniting men and women from the most diverse origins. Today, like before, America demonstrates her amazing capacity to adapt and to bounce right back. For the first time in print, the President of the United States expounds his personal vision of the American dream, a dream which he intends, from this moment forward, to transform into reality. A political document, but also offering many subjects, from education to budgetary concerns, for general reflection.
