The Black Russian
The “altogether astonishing” true story of a black American finding fame and fortune in Moscow and Constantinople at the turn of the 20th century (Booklist, starred review). The Black Russian tells the true story of Frederick Bruce Thomas, a man born in 1872 to former slaves who became prosperous farmers in Mississippi. But when his father was murdered, Frederick left the South to work as a waiter in Chicago and Brooklyn. Seeking greater freedom, he traveled to London, then crisscrossed Europe, and—in a highly unusual choice for a black American at the time—went to Russia. Because he found no color line there, Frederick settled in Moscow, becoming a rich and famous owner of variety t...
Êtes-vous capable de me lire ?
Avez-vous déjà entendu parler du « langage du corps » ? La communication non verbale est un champ d’étude reconnu, au croisement de la psychologie, des sciences comportementales, de la médecine... Mais peut-on vraiment savoir ce qu’un individu a dans la tête juste en l’analysant du regard ? Des experts l’affirment : il parait que nos attitudes corporelles révèlent qui nous sommes vraiment, ce que nous pensons, voire des choses dont nous n’avons même pas conscience… Alors Florian Dupas et Frédéric Tomas s’interrogent : « Pouvons-nous nous fier aux discours de ces « décodeurs » ? Existe-t-il vraiment des signes physiques universels permettant d’établir avec cer...
Breaking Barriers, Shaping Worlds
Where are the women in Canada’s international history? Breaking Barriers, Shaping Worlds answers this question in a comprehensive volume that explores the role of women in Canadian international affairs. Foreign policy historians have traditionally focused on powerful men. Though hidden, forgotten, or ignored, this book shows that women have also shaped Canada’s relations with the world over the past century – whether as activists, missionaries, aid workers, diplomats or diplomatic spouses. Breaking Barriers, Shaping Worlds examines the lives and careers of professional women working abroad as doctors, nurses, or economic development advisors; women fighting for change as anti-war, anti-nuclear, or Indigenous rights activists; and women engaged in traditional diplomacy. This wide-ranging collection reveals the vital contribution of women to the search for global order that has been a hallmark of Canada’s international history.

Dis, c'est quoi l'esprit critique ?
À l’heure des fake news et de la quantité grandissante d’informations mises à notre disposition, la nécessité de faire preuve d’esprit critique n’a jamais été aussi grande. Mais qu’est-ce que cela signifie, faire preuve d’esprit critique ? Peut-on développer cette faculté et si oui, comment ? Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de proposer une réflexion sur l’esprit critique, ainsi que sa pratique au niveau individuel et sociétal. Un dialogue y est proposé sur notre capacité à ne pas se laisser berner par des biais cognitifs ou des arguments fallacieux, pour ensuite se concentrer sur nos facultés à communiquer au mieux les résultats de nos réflexions critiques au monde extérieur. Certains outils issus des champs de la pédagogie et de la psychologie sont décrits en détail. Il s’agit ici de proposer des options permettant de stimuler la pensée critique, de se protéger de la désinformation, et de renforcer le libre examen et l’affranchissement volontaire des dogmes chez le lecteur.

Terry
As a young child, Terry Wadsworth’s days were full of happiness and adventure. Her father grew pineapples in the rich, dark, soil on a remote plateau at the edge of the Philippine jungle, and life---like the golden pineapples—was sweet. She had a little pony and lived in a beautiful compound that the company had built. The only threats to her edenic life were the occasional cobra or python---that is, until a much fiercer enemy struck 5,000 miles away at Pearl Harbor. Within hours of the surprise attack in Hawaii, the Japanese military launched a similar assault on the Philippine Islands and began their campaign to overtake the American Protectorate, with Terry and her family on the dange...
