Giving Blood
Giving Blood represents a new agenda for blood donation research. It explores the diverse historical and contemporary undercurrents that influence how blood donation takes place, and the social meanings that people attribute to the act of giving blood. Drawing from empirical studies conducted in the United States, Canada, France, Australia, China, India, Latin America and Africa, the book’s chapters turn our attention to the evolution of blood donation worldwide, examining: the impact of technology advances on blood collection practices the shifting approaches to donor recruitment and retention the governance and policy issues associated with the establishment of blood clinics the political and legal challenges of regulating blood systems. This innovative examination moves the focus from individual explanations of rates of blood donation to a social, structural explanation. It will appeal to international scholars and students working in the areas of sociology, medical anthropology, health care, public policy, socio-legal studies, comparative politics, organizational management, health and illness, the history of medicine, and public health ethics.

Dictionnaire des cons et autres génies
« Ce livre aurait pu s’intituler le Dictionnaire des génies.Légendes, icônes, les personnages à qui nous rendons hommage ont, pour la plupart, marqué leur temps grâce à leur art, leur science ou leurs actes.Mais à y regarder de plus près, les choses ne sont pas si simples, car, un jour ou l’autre, ces personnalités hors du commun ont toutes dérapé, dit ou fait une connerie susceptible de réduire à néant l’oeuvre de toute une vie. C’est cet acte grandiose que nous souhaitons saluer, car grâce à eux, génie et connerie n’ont jamais été si proches, unissant par là même les créatures insignifiantes que nous sommes à ces êtres infiniment brillants... »Neil Armstrong, Bono, Confucius, Salvador Dalí, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Victor Hugo, Michael Jackson, Napoléon, Le Père Noël, William Shakespeare, Voltaire, Zidane... Une soixantaine de conneries décomplexantes !
Two Solicitudes
In March 1995, Victor-Levy Beaulieu, the well-known French-Canadian novelist and man of letters, spent a week in Toronto, staying with Margaret Atwood. That week in Toronto was matched by a return engagement in May 1995, when Margaret Atwood visited Victor-Levy Beaulieu's country home near Trois-Pistoles, Quebec. There, over ten days, they discussed many topics of mutual interest that underlie literature: the importance of childhood, of myth, of belonging to territory, the real versus the imaginary world, power and the lack of it, and their own works.
