Toxic Cocktails How Endocrine Disrupters Are Poisoning Our Brains
Written for the general reader, the book is startling as it reveals the scandalous damage to our brains being caused by chemical pollution. Concrete measures, scientifically proven, to put an end to the tragic mistakes that have been committed in Western countries for over fifty years.
Patrick Boucheron, Alain Prochiantz
Migrants, Refugees, and Exile Colloquium at the Collège de France
The timeliness of the issue of migratory movement and the displacement of populations. The multi-disciplinary nature of the studies, which bring together history and geography, geopolitics, psychology, as well as law and economics.
Patrice Huerre, François Robine
What Our Living Spaces Say about Us
Living spaces tell a lot about their inhabitants and their psychic and social evolution. Habitats reveal the evolution of generations and of their ways of life, but they also encourage human relationships to be what they are.
Patrice Queneau, Claude de Bourguignon
Saving the General Practitioner
A powerful argument for keeping medicine human, citing the general practitioner as the guarantor. A book that can contribute to the debate on healthcare, and one that will find a favourable reception among general practitioners.
Marc Augé
So Who Is the Other?
The originality of the subjects that Marc Augé studies: from soccer games to the heroes of American series, as well as roundabouts and urban architecture. The intellectual journey of one of the greatest, world-renowned anthropologists.
Gérard Berry
The Hyperpower of Computer Science
An attractive (color illustrations) and very instructive book for which Gérard Berry has made use of his experience as a lecturer and a teacher of children 9-12 years-old at a Montessori school. A book that fills a gap in knowledge: quite simply, it helps to understand and better anticipate the great changes that are occurring right before our eyes.
Françoise Héritier
As Days Go By
A little book of wisdom in the form of a game playing with memories, which causes the little music of life to be heard. A very pleasant read, an invitation to rediscover a taste for life.
Didier Pleux
The Thetis Complex To enjoy or not to enjoy life; finding the right balance
The Thetis complex, or the increasingly widespread difficulty in finding a good balance between the quite natural desire to enjoy life, and the acceptance that everything cannot be lived according to one’s desires.
