The Mechanics of Passions: The New Contemporary Individualism

The Temptation to Withdraw: Globalization, Deglobalization
Accounts of globalization abound. This original synthesis reveals its dark side and provides a different perspective, that of a rejection of globalization. Philippe Moreau-Defarges is a born popularizer, and works expertly with his subject.

The Bloodhounds: A Story of the French Intelligence Services in Their Own Words
Interviews with the great leaders in French Intelligence. These interviews break with a culture of secrecy; what the leaders say in no way glosses the difficulties, or the missteps, of the Services, or the manipulations that occur for reasons of high-level – or low-level – politics.
Lionel Naccache, Karine Naccache
Do you Speak “Brain”? The brain is part of our everyday lives
Instructive and entertaining, important facts about the brain by one of the great French neurologists. A proven format, since Lionel Naccache’s chronicles on the brain were the most popular podcasted shows last summer on French Inter radio.
