Péladeau: une histoire de vengeance, d'argent et de journaux (Biographie)
Par Julien Brault. 2008
"Un séparatiste, un maniaco-dépressif, un ex-alcoolique et un antisémite, voilà comment Pierre Péladeau fut introduit par certains journalistes de la…
presse anglophone. Au Québec, ses nombreuses conquêtes amoureuses et les journaux à potins qu'il publiait retenaient davantage l'attention. Dix ans après la mort du personnage, un portrait de l'éditeur s'imposait. Un portrait non autorisé et révélateur du baron de la presse et de son empire. Fruit du méticuleux travail journalistique de Julien Brault et véritable ouvrage de référence, ce livre, en plus de révéler les différentes facettes de la personnalité de l'homme, raconte aussi l'évolution des journaux au XXe siècle. Comprenant un cahier-photos, cette surprenante biographie nous entraîne au-delà de la simple marque de commerce qu'est devenu Péladeau dans l'imaginaire collectif, pour nous faire voir un homme incroyable, invivable mais visionnaire." -- 4e de couvImperfect control: our lifelong struggle with power and surrender

taking us through two years of surrealism and limbo.—Margaret AtwoodThis exploration of the many new terms of the Covid-19 pandemic provides insight into the ways an ever-evolving vocabulary helped us cope with our anxiety and adapt to a new reality When the pandemic struck in early 2020, Wayne Grady started collecting the words and phrases that arose from our shared global experience. Some, such as "uptick" and "pivot," had existed before but now took on new meaning, and others, such as "covidivorce," "quarantini," "covexit," and "shecession," appeared for the first time, their meaning instantly clear. Through this new vocabulary, we became more able to adapt to change, to domesticate it in a sense, and to reduce our fears. Moving from the very beginning of the pandemic (the "Before Times") and our early response to it through the peaks and troughs of the various waves in countries throughout the world, and ending with a contemplation of what the "After Times" might look like, this book takes us on a journey through the pandemic and illuminates both how this new language has unfolded and how it has changed the way we think about ourselves and each other.Nothing Could Stop Her: The Courageous Life of Ruth Gruber
