A History of War Surgery
Since antiquity, war surgery has been a profession demanding a special kind of human: one able to face seemingly insurmountable problems; one able to keep a lucid mind and steady hands in extraordinary circumstances; one able to shoulder tremendous burdens; and one able to harden himself or herself, time and again, to failure and self-doubt. It is, and always has been, a harrowing business, and only for the brave. Dr John Wright charts the evolution of war surgery from ancient times to the present day, investigating its breakthroughs, its pitfalls, and the people and conflicts that have shaped it. But above all, this is a personal history, calling on the first-hand accounts of the surgeons, soldiers, medics, nurses, stretcher-bearers, and many others who have served in battle and come face-to-face with its most appalling horrors. This is not a book for the faint-hearted. It is one that searches for and delivers the truth about those who, with unerring skill, courage and determination, endeavour to undo the terrible damage we habitually inflict upon ourselves.Read more

Nicolas de Staël: Catalogue exposition MUSÉE ART MODERNE DE PARIS 2023
Présentant plus de deux cents tableaux, dessins, gravures et carnets issus de collections publiques et privées, cette rétrospective, organisée de manière chronologique, porte un nouveau regard sur le travail de Staël, en tâchant de rester au plus près de ses recherches graphiques et picturales. Loin du mythe, il s’agit de montrer l’artiste au travail, fasciné par le spectacle du monde – qu’il se confronte à un paysage, un match de football, un ballet ou un fruit posé sur une table. Menant de front plusieurs toiles, Staël travaille de longs mois, avant de condenser ses recherches dans un ou plusieurs tableaux-manifestes. Dans cette démarche expérimentale, le dessin joue un rôle prépondérant, tout comme la volonté d’explorer de nouveaux formats, médiums et outils. Depuis ses toiles sombres et matiérées des années 1940 jusqu’à ses tableaux lumineux peints avant sa mort prématurée en 1955, l’oeuvre de Staël bouleverse délibérément la distinction entre abstraction et figuration, dans la poursuite passionnée d’un art toujours plus dense et plus concis. Grâce une sélection d’oeuvres célèbres ou méconnues, cet ouvrage permet de prendre la mesure d’une quête picturale d’une rare intensité.Read more

We’re All Neurodiverse: How to Build a Neurodiversity-Affirming Future and Challenge Neuronormativity
“Neurodiversity has helped me understand myself and provided a sense of relief that I’m a whole neurodivergent person functioning as my brain intends.”
“It’s provided me with the language to advocate for myself.”
“I no longer hated myself. I no longer felt broken. I found a sense of community. A sense of belonging”
This affirming and thoughtful guide outlines how and why we need to fundamentally shift our thinking about neurodivergent people. We need to accept differences rather than framing them as a problem, abnormality or disorder. Welcome to the neurodiversity paradigm.
At times challenging and radical, Sonny Jane Wise explores the intersections of neurodivergence with disability, gender, sexuality and race. Through interviews, narratives, and the lens of their own raw experiences, they consider how current systems and structures that impact neurodivergent people are rooted in outdated capitalist and racist frameworks, and how these need to change and adapt to be neurodiversity affirming. Sonny Jane’s words are a rallying cry to challenge the pathology paradigm. They offer nine principles for facilitating change, reflected in deeply personal stories from the neurodivergent community.
Powerful and persuasive, this book is a clarion call for a kinder and more neurodiversity affirming society.

Why are we here?
How should we live?
What happens after we die?
Why does evil exist?Religion For Dummies explains how the world’s great religions answer questions that persist through generations. Authors Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman are trusted religious advisors known as the God Squad. With wonderful wit and incredible wisdom, they host a daily talk show which reaches nearly 4 million homes in the New York area, and have appeared on numerous TV and radio shows.
This book is not a scholarly theological treatise; it’s a lively, practical, hands-on resource that will help you better understand your own religion and others. You’ll explore:
- Religion’s role in the family and in the workplace
- The beliefs and practices of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other religions
- Religion’s impact during major passages in life such as birth, death, and marriage
- How to join a religion and how to pray
- How religion can help you deal with issues in every day life such as conflict, adversity, marriage, divorce, and more
- Religious rituals and ethics
Religion for Dummies touches on lesser-known religions (such as, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Sikhism). It explores how people of various faiths pray, celebrate life and death, and view moral issues. The book does not tell you what to believe, but rather encourages you to live as you believe and let your religion infuse every aspect of your life. It doesn’t give simple answers to haunting, complex questions; it helps you find your own answers and pursue your own spiritual path!
