Ces médicaments sont la troisième cause de décès après les maladies cardiaques et le cancer. Or, la consommation actuelle de psychotropes pourrait être réduite de 98%, tout en améliorant la santé mentale et physique ainsi que la survie des patients. ...
China’s rise as an economic superpower has been inescapable.

Despite the sizeable body of literature that has accompanied China’s modernization, the essence and trajectory of its contemporary cityscape remains difficult to grasp. This volume addresses a less explored aspect of China’s urban rejuvenation - the prominence of the shopping mall as a keystone of its public spaces. Here, the presence of the built form most representative of Western capitalism’s excess is one that makes explicit the tensions between China...
