Au-delà des dunes
Chemin faisant, le long des côtes du Nord qui réunissent la France, la Belgique et la Hollande, le promeneur ressent la diversité du paysage marin. La mer, cette peau liquide qui se prolonge loin de l'horizon, et la dune, son front de sable, veillent sur l'avant pays d'eau et l'arrière pays de terre. Mes hommes qui peuplent ces régions sont taiseux, leurs paroles ressemblent à des souffles, à des murmures mais non à des plaintes.
Connected
Oil prices go up, the stock market goes down. Currency exchange rates fluctuate and new technologies are changing the way we do business. What if you could look behind the headlines of the global economy? Instead of listening to pundits, politicians, and protestors, you could see first-hand how everyone from migrant workers to central bank governors live their lives. Now you can. Having chosen June 15, 2005, as the focal point for his book, Altman contacted dozens of people from all corners of the world and all levels of the economy, from factory workers and currency traders to CEOs and entrepreneurs, asking them for first-person narratives of their activities on that one day.

Lighthouses
The Great Exhibition, Crystal Palace, 1851: James Chance, of the glass-making firm Chance Brothers, is nervously showcasing a new lens, that, unknown to him, will revolutionise lighthouse production, propel his family business into a position of world leadership, save countless lives and have far-reaching consequences for trade, empire and the map of the world.This is where "Lighthouses" begins. The true-life story that follows is of one man and his family's unexpected role in an exciting race to perfect this technology, against European rivals and colleagues, as they strive to regain for Britain the leadership position she had lost to the French in the 1820s.This fascinating story places James Chance and the Chance Brothers firm against the backdrop of a time in which lighthouse manufacture was transformed from a craft into a scientific, high-precision industry. As a tool for globalisation, and with immense strategic and economic value, lighthouses helped to establish a network of communications that transformed the trade maps of countries and empires.
Les Cactus de Jérôme de Warzée
« Si, à 40 ans, je ne décroche pas une place récurrente dans le domaine de l’humour au sein d’un média belge, quel qu’il soit, j’arrête le métier ! »... Et c’est le 1er septembre 2010, le jour même de ses 40 ans, que Jérôme de Warzée distille sa première chronique sur les ondes de VivaCité dans son émission Un cactus dans le Waterzooi. Chaque matin, il tente l’équilibre, entre écriture polysémique, second degré, sarcasmes, jeux de mots, et vérités (enfin presque). Ce quatrième tome est dans la même veine que les trois premiers : un florilège de ses meilleures chroniques radiophoniques. Classées chronologiquement, elles proposent un regard cynique et irrévérencieux sur l’actualité belge et internationale et se savourent sans modération.
