Par Marjolaine Saint-Pierre. 1999
Baron français, chef amérindien, figure légendaire, Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin répond aux critères qui fascinent à toutes les époques: aventures,…
intrigues, drames, amours et réussite financière. Il y a d'abord un adolescent, orphelin de mère depuis sa naissance, qui quitte son Béarn natal avec le fameux régiment de Carignan-Salières et vient combattre les Iroquois en Nouvelle-France. Puis, un jeune lieutenant qui va assurer la présence française aux frontières de l'Acadie. Il y a ensuite des Indiens, des pirates et des contrebandiers, le chef Madockawando et sa fille qui devient baronne, des expéditions en raquettes et des batailles, des prisonniers et des rançons. Il y a enfin l'anti-héros, le beau-frère qui multiplie les traquenards et les pièges judiciaires pour conserver un héritage dont il s'est injustement accaparé. Celui qui avait conquis l'admiration des Abénaquis et terrorisé les Puritains a perdu cette dernière bataille mais sa légende est toujours vivante, particulièrement en Nouvelle-Angleterre, et il a de nombreux descendants des deux côtés de l'AtlantiqueGuide d'alimentation pour la personne diabétique

Comprendre] la malvoyance chez l'adulte: la comprendre, la vivre mieux
Par Caroline Kovarski. 2007
"La personne malvoyante est celle dont la vision est mauvaise, handicap suffisamment marqué pour la gêner dans sa vie relationnelle…
et professionnelle. Néanmoins, même si sa vision est plus ou moins gravement déficitaire, elle voit ou perçoit encore. Cette réduction de la vision est cependant lourde de conséquences, tant sur le plan psychologique que celui de la réduction de l'autonomie. Fatalité subie, la malvoyance est aujourd'hui une déficience à laquelle peuvent être apportées certaines assistances. Si la survenue de la maladie ne peut être évitée, une rééducation spécifique, des aides techniques et humaines, des outils optiques adaptés, des prises en charge appropriées... sont autant de propositions qui peuvent désormais aider la personne malvoyante à utiliser le meilleur de son potentiel visuel. Toutes ces informations sont ici regroupées, synthétisées, clarifiées pour répondre aux besoins et questions des personnes malvoyantes, de leur entourage et des "professionnels de santé". Motivée par l'ambition du projet, l'équipe de spécialistes internationaux qui a rédigé cet ouvrage a souhaité transmettre toutes ses connaissances et savoir-faire pour donner à la personne malvoyante la possibilité de vivre au mieux avec elle-même, et aux autres acteurs de saisir le handicap que la malvoyance représente." -- 4e de couvOzark voices: oral histories from the heartland

Adult. Some strong languageMother tongue: The surprising history of women's words
Par Jenni Nuttall. 2023
"A fascinating look at how we talk about women. . . . Dense with information and anecdotes, Mother Tongue touches…
on the hilarious and the devastating, with ample dashes of an ingredient so painfully absent from most discussions of sex and gender: humor." ―Lisa Selin Davis, The Washington Post "[Nuttall] examines the origins of words used over many centuries to describe women’s bodies, desires, pregnancies, work lives, sexual victimhood, and stages of life. . . . Her research is comprehensive enough that even longtime word enthusiasts will find plenty of new trivia." ―The New Yorker An enlightening linguistic journey through a thousand years of feminist language—and what we can learn from the vivid vocabulary that English once had for women’s bodies, experiences, and sexuality So many of the words that we use to chronicle women’s lives feel awkward or alien. Medical terms are scrupulously accurate but antiseptic. Slang and obscenities have shock value, yet they perpetuate taboos. Where are the plain, honest words for women’s daily lives? Mother Tongue is a historical investigation of feminist language and thought, from the dawn of Old English to the present day. Dr. Jenni Nuttall guides readers through the evolution of words that we have used to describe female bodies, menstruation, women’s sexuality, the consequences of male violence, childbirth, women’s paid and unpaid work, and gender. Along the way, she challenges our modern language’s ability to insightfully articulate women’s shared experiences by examining the long-forgotten words once used in English for female sexual and reproductive organs. Nuttall also tells the story of words like womb and breast , whose meanings have changed over time, as well as how anatomical words such as hysteria and hysterical came to have such loaded legacies. Inspired by today’s heated debates about words like womxn and menstruators —and by more personal conversations with her teenage daughter—Nuttall describes the profound transformations of the English language. In the process, she unearths some surprisingly progressive thinking that challenges our assumptions about the past—and, in some cases, puts our twenty-first-century society to shame. Mother Tongue is a rich, provocative book for anyone who loves language—and for feminists who want to look to the past in order to move forwardA house on stilts: mothering in the age of opioid addiction - a memoir

Par Craig L Symonds. 2011
"There are few moments in American history in which the course of events tipped so suddenly and so dramatically as…
at the Battle of Midway. At dawn of June 4, 1942, a rampaging Japanese navy ruled the Pacific. By sunset, their vaunted carrier force (the Kido Butai) had been sunk and their grip on the Pacific had been loosened forever. In this absolutely riveting account of a key moment in the history of World War II, one of America's leading naval historians, Craig L. Symonds paints an unforgettable portrait of ingenuity, courage, and sacrifice. Symonds begins with the arrival of Admiral Chester A. Nimitz at Pearl Harbor after the devastating Japanese attack, and describes the key events leading to the climactic battle, including both Coral Sea-the first battle in history against opposing carrier forces-and Jimmy Doolittle's daring raid of Tokyo. He focuses throughout on the people involved, offering telling portraits of Admirals Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance and numerous other Americans, as well as the leading Japanese figures, including the poker-loving Admiral Yamamoto. Indeed, Symonds sheds much light on the aspects of Japanese culture-such as their single-minded devotion to combat, which led to poorly armored planes and inadequate fire-safety measures on their ships-that contributed to their defeat. The author's account of the battle itself is masterful, weaving together the many disparate threads of attack-attacks which failed in the early going-that ultimately created a five-minute window in which three of the four Japanese carriers were mortally wounded, changing the course of the Pacific war in an eye-blink. Symonds is the first historian to argue that the victory at Midway was not simply a matter of luck, pointing out that Nimitz had equal forces, superior intelligence, and the element of surprise. Nimitz had a strong hand, Symonds concludes, and he rightly expected to win.." -- Provided by publisherUFO landing: was a crash covered up? (X-books. Strange)

"Combining the latest developments and research discoveries, board-certified gastroenterologist and medical host on CNN and Fox News, Dr. Roshini Raj…
shows the ways in which the microbiome impacts overall well-being, and helps readers reset their biological clocks by improving their gut health. With one in four Americans suffering from digestive health issues every day, gut health has become an increasingly important part of wellness. With the human body, so many issues can be improved upon, or cured, by balancing the microbiome. But the microbiome--a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body--has long been something that the average person can find baffling--and maybe a little bit gross. By offering simple and straightforward answers to questions like what one should be eating, what probiotics are, which vitamins and medicines really work, Dr. Raj demystifies the gut. She uses the idea of a home renovation to show how different organs and parts of the body can be "renovated" in order to optimize the microbiome. After all, balancing one's microbiome improves digestive health, brain function, emotional stability, the body's response to inflammation, immunity, and lessens premature aging. Melding the latest developments and discoveries in microbiome research, along with Dr. Raj's practical tips developed from her years of clinical experience, Gut Renovation shows readers how to turn back the biological clock and revamp the way they live forever." -- Provided by publisher
