Imperial Heights
“By using both macro and micro lenses, Eric T. Jennings has written a book which is a model of global history under the guise of a monographic study. He convincingly demonstrates that throughout fifty years, Dalat as a climatic resort built by the French colonizers in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, was upgraded to far more than a mere R&R place for white people. Jennings has kneaded together a huge and rich amount of primary and secondary sources that he masters perfectly due to his sound and balanced method of critical analysis. As we say in French: de la belle ouvrage.” —Pierre Brocheux, author of Indochina: An Ambiguous Colonization, 1858-1954 “Written in a vivid and engaging style, Imperial Heights is an exceptional piece of scholarship. It is impeccably researched, drawing on private, institutional, and national archives in at least five countries. Making wonderful use of ‘thick description,’ Jennings brilliantly recreates the story of one small town to capture the varied and complex history of French colonialism and its afterlives in Southeast Asia.” —J.P. Daughton, author of An Empire Divided

Existential Concerns and Cognitive-Behavioral Procedures
Clients enter therapy grappling with a range of difficulties. They don’t speak in diagnostic terms, but instead focus on the everyday problems that confront them. Their struggles may include isolation, loneliness, anxiety, guilt and regret, and problems making decisions in a world that offers seemingly endless choice. In contrast, the cognitive-behavior therapist is trained in the language of conditioning and extinction, avoidance and safety behaviors, behavioral activation and attentional biases. This book explores the ideas of the existentialist philosophers as a bridge between the suffering client and technically trained clinician. The volume is not a rejection of cognitive behavior the...
Imperial Contagions
Imperial Contagions argues that there was no straightforward shift from older, enclavist models of colonial medicine to a newer emphasis on prevention and treatment of disease among indigenous populations as well as European residents. It shows that colonial medicine was not at all homogeneous "on the ground" but was riven with tensions and contradictions. Indigenous elites contested and appropriated Western medical knowledge and practices for their own purposes. Colonial policies contained contradictory and cross-cutting impulses. This book challenges assumptions that colonial regimes were uniformly able to regulate indigenous bodies and that colonial medicine served as a "tool of empire."

The Coulombe Family of North America
Louis Coulombe was born 1641 at Neufbourg, Eveche d'Evreux, Normandie, France. He was the son of Jacques Coulombe and Boemi (Rolline) Drieu. Louis left France in 1665. He was an indentured servant for three years, until he bought or was given a farm on Ile d'Orleans. He married 30 September 1670 at Sainte-Famille, Ile d'Orleans, Ouebec to Jeanne-Marquerite Boucault (or Foucault). She was born 1651 at St. Germain, Paris, France. She died in 1696 at Berthier, Quebec. Jeanne was a 'Fille du Roi'- one of several conscript girls, probably from a convent or an orphanage, sent to Canada by the King of France to marry colonists. She arrived in Canada in 1668 or 1670. They had twelve children. Descendants and relatives lived mainly in Quebec, Alberta, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.

Le cancer des émotions
Ce livre est une impulsion pure et simple. Je ne suis pas écrivaine, par contre, oui je veux partager des sentiments avec vous. Ayant retrouvé un certain équilibre dans ma vie, j’ai relu mes notes et l’idée de publier m’est apparue. « Enfin, peut-être que ça pourrait aider quelqu’un d’une manière ou d’une autre. Pourquoi pas ? ». La maladie mentale dont je parle se limite à la dépression, ce que moi j’ai vécu. Quelle que soit celle dont tu souffres, les idées et les émotions sont semblables. On est tous des humains !
No temas- los miedos impiden vivir
Todos nuestros miedos están vinculados unos con otros en secreta genealogía: y, sea cual sea su objeto inmediato, oculto o aparente, todos tienen en común el negro presentimiento del peligro inminente: todos derivan su origen, en herencia ininterrumpida, de la primera pérdida de seguridad en el trance del nacer: y todos prefiguran, con velada pero cierta profecía, el último trance del morir. La inseguridad causada por el primer nacimiento queda transferida al segundo nacimiento a la vida futura. Nadie sabe exactamente lo que le aguarda al dejar este mundo, como no sabía lo que le aguardaba cuando vino a él: y, así, la inseguridad de la muerte resulta ser la contrapartida de la inseg...
