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.

Life and How to Survive It
In Life and How to Survive It, the authors have given us more than 400 pages of lively, tonic humour. Their subject is the joy of living and the conditions required to enjoy life to the full. Proceeding by ever-larger concentric circles, the authors successively discuss happy families (brilliant!), companies that allow their employees to fulfil themselves, and finally countries where life is pleasurable. This is British humour at its best, brilliantlyand hilariouslyillustrated. British comic actor John Cleese is famous for the cult television series Fawlty Towers, which he co-authored and starred in. Robin Skynner is a psychotherapist specialising in group therapies.

Are Animals Philosophers? Kantian Chickens and Aristotelian Bonobos
Because animals, both human and non-human, are not the passive toys of the surrounding world but, on the contrary, active creators and because they are carriers of weltanschauung, I regard them as philosophers.
