à travers des expériences vécues qui font ressortir les difficultés rencontrées, les échecs essuyés et les victoires remportées. Le ton se veut tantôt émouvant, tantôt humoristique, mais toujours très près de la vie. «Je ne prétends aucunement fournir aux lecteurs la recette magique du bonheur, écrit-il, mais si seulement je suscitais chez eux la détermination nécessaire à la réalisation de leurs rêves, j'en serais heureux.» Conférencier, motivateur, humoriste et conteur, Michel Langlois ' qui est aveugle de naissance ' est l'homme de tous les défis. En 1982, il a remporté la médaille d'or aux championnats canadiens de ski alpin pour handicapés.Emma, chien d'aveugle

Par John Berger. 2011
The great art critic and writer John Berger joined forces again with Turkish writer and illustrator Selçuk Demirel in this…
unexpected pictorial essay.What happens when an art critic loses some of his sight to cataracts? What wonders are glimpsed once vision is restored?In this impressionistic essay written in the spirit of Montaigne, John Berger, whose treatises on seeing have shaped cultural and media studies for four decades, records the effects of cataract removal operations on each of his eyes. The result is an illuminated take on perception. Berger ponders how we can become accustomed to a loss of sense until a dulled world becomes the norm, and describes the sudden richness of reawakened sight with acute attention to sensory detail.This wise little book beckons us to pay close attention to our own senses and wonder at their significance as we follow Berger's journey into a more vivid, differentiated way of seeing. Demirel's witty illustrations complement the text, creating a mini-world where eyes take on whimsical lives of their own. The result is a collaborative collectors' piece perfect for every reader&’s bedside table. This title completes a trilogy of books by Berger and Demirel. Smoke was published in 2018, and What Time Is It? was published in 2019.A raccoon bite on the arm doesn&’t seem that serious, but it soon becomes a life-or-death medical crisis for Melissa…
Loomis. After days of treatment for recurring infection, it becomes obvious that her arm must be amputated. Dr. Ajay Seth, the son of immigrant parents from India and a local orthopaedic surgeon in private practice, performs his first-ever amputation procedure. In the months that follow, divine intervention, combined with Melissa&’s determination and Dr. Seth&’s disciplined commitment and dedication to his patients, brings about the opportunity for a medical breakthrough that will potentially transform the lives of amputees around the world.Rewired is the inspirational, miraculous story of Dr. Seth&’s revolutionary surgery that allows Melissa to not just move a prosthetic arm simply by thinking, but to actually feel with the prosthetic hand, just as she would with her natural arm. This resulted in what others have recognized as the world&’s most advanced amputee, all done from Dr. Seth&’s private practice in a community hospital, using a local staff, and with no special training or extensive research funding.Living Well with Parkinson's Disease: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You....That You Need to Know
