Rookie forward Isaac Rivera is still finding his footing in the big leagues where he’s no longer the best player on the roster. It’s a whole new world, especially now that several of his hockey idols have become teammates. Friends, even. There’s one who’s more than a hockey idol, though… and he might end up being more than a friend. Julien Landry is a powerhouse on the ice. In eight years, he’s become one of the league’s top defensemen and the heartthrob everyone wants to bed. But fallout from a painful mistake as a rookie, followed by years of rough-and-tumble hookups, have him itching for something more. When a connection sparks between him and Isaac, he discovers what he’s been missing: someone he can trust with his body and his heart. As long as Isaac and Julien keep the heat between them off the ice, what could go wrong? But Julien’s past is never far behind him, and when it comes crashing in, he might lose everything—his career, his friends, and the first person he’s ever really loved. CW: discussions of past abuse and sexual assault

Maître-chirurgien de son état, Guimonneau eût été bien surpris d'apprendre que les six années au cours desquelles il se livra à son caprice de bourgeois original lui vaudraient, deux siècles plus tard, d'avoir échappé à l'oubli. L'ouvrage de Lucette Combes, riche des pièces des musées de la reine Bérengère, de la Céramique à Sèvres, des A.T.P., Tessier, de collections particulières, enchantera l'amateur de céramiques comme celui qui s'attache à la spontanéité de l'art populaire. Cette recherche suscitée par la passion de la poterie fait émerger de la gangue du passé un artisan d'un art mineur. Ce livre ouvre aussi des fenêtres sur la pratique de la chirurgie au XVIIIe siècle, la vie de la paroisse de Courcelles à l'époque du maître-chirurgien et sur ses lointains ancêtres. Cependant, le ton de l'ouvrage échappe à la sclérose du temps. Passionnée de terres vernissées de Ligron, Lucette Combes Mésière, à la faveur de la « retraite », s'est engagée dans une quête de longue haleine qui réunit documents d'archives, travail sur le terrain et lecture minutieuse de pièces de poterie. Sa démarche sur Guimonneau s'en est trouvée enrichie.
The Democracy Manifesto is about how to recreate democracy by replacing elections with government that is truly of, by and for the people. Written in engaging and accessible dialogue form, the book argues that the only truly democratic system of government is one in which decision-makers are selected randomly (by sortition) from the population at large, operating much the way trial juries do today, but 100% online, enabling people to govern together even across great distances. Sortition has a storied history but what sets The Democracy Manifesto apart is its comprehensive account of how it can be implemented not only across all sectors and levels of government, but throughout society as wel...
