Cette Biographie de la faim, de ce désir jamais rassasié, de cette quête qui n'a jamais de fin, Amélie Nothomb la décline sous toutes ses formes, du ravissement à l'horreur, avec brio, douleur, amour, humour et lucidité, pour dire ce terrible paradoxe d'exister. Il s'en dégage une puissance de vision, une perception fatale où l'absolu et sa dérision se côtoient. C'est une mise à nu éblouissante où l'auteur est le sujet de son œuvre et qui prouve ô combien qu'Amélie Nothomb est un de nos grands auteurs contemporains.

This new addition to our highly successful A Practical Approach to Anesthesia series is a comprehensive, accessible guide to pediatric anesthesia, with the substance and depth of a textbook and the convenient, user-friendly features of a handbook. It focuses on clinical issues, contains enough academic material for board review, and is written in bulleted and outline format, with numerous illustrations and tables. Major sections focus on approach to the pediatric patient, clinical and operational aspects of pediatric anesthesia, anesthetic management of normalities and abnormalities of each organ system, and special situations such as fetal surgery, anesthesia outside the operating room, and trauma. Emphasis is on the developmental aspects–anatomic, physiologic, and pharmacologic–that require special attention in anesthesia planning.

‘Crowded House’ was the band’s first and most commercially successful effort, with two of its singles reaching the American Top Forty – ‘Something So Strong’ and ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’. Reviewers commonly refer to the music of Crowded House as either new wave or something close to that – songs that are short in length, short on instrumental solos, and, to an extent, compatible with music videos. Much of that is actually true of ‘Crowded House’, but the only real description gets offered by stopping the talk, and turning on the music. The album is one snappy yet alluring melody after the next, music that variously earns the description of soulful, emotional, often a celebration but sometimes solemn. Beneath it all, one detects in Neil Finn’s music a passion and meticulous respect for the art he is creating. The lofty quality of his work not only applies to the music – his deceptively simple lyrics always emerge from the music, never the other way around.

Comment mieux choisir ses aliments? Comment bien interpréter les étiquettes? Quels sont les mauvais ingrédients et les produits alimentaires à boycotter? Pourquoi? Quels sont leurs effets sur notre santé et sur la planète? Une véritable sélection des 100 meilleurs aliments est présentée ici par le grand connaisseur de la nutrition, Laurent Chevallier, qui les a testés pour nous et les a classés selon des critères de santé, gustatifs, mais aussi de prix et d'accessibilité. Ainsi, chacun peut, selon ses moyens et l'endroit où il habite, devenir un consommateur averti. Grâce à cet ouvrage, il saura vers quels légume, viande, poisson ou céréale se tourner et, inversement, quels produits éviter. Si l'auteur dénonce les dérives de quelques industriels, une sécurité alimentaire pas toujours suffisamment bien assurée, une réactivité des pouvoirs publics souvent bien lente face à des études scientifiques alertant sur les méfaits éventuels de certains additifs, il montre aussi qu'il est possible de changer son comportement alimentaire, de résister au marketing industriel ; en bref, d'être davantage maître de ses choix nutritifs et de sa santé, tout en se préoccupant de préserver la planète.
