Simon Quinn can have any woman he wants, but he prefers them jaded, worldly, and free of illusions. His life is one of danger and temporary pleasures. An Irish commoner, he has nothing more than his expertise as a lover and mercenary to recommend him and no title, property, or family to redeem him. Lysette Rousseau is a deadly beauty who can seduce or betray with equal skill. She should be just the sort of woman Simon entertains, but something about her sets him on edge. At times she is a femme fatale he cannot abide, at others she is warm, sweet, and irresistibly alluring. His reactions to both sides of her are equally powerful, but for opposite reasons. It seems almost as if there are two women in one. Twins ... one wounded and exploited, the other innocent but strong. Lynette Rousseau will do anything to reclaim the sister who doesn't remember her. She will gain the proficiency required to enter the underworld her sibling occupies. But how will she defend herself against the enigmatic, seductive Simon Quinn? A man who can liberate Lysette, but whose insatiable desires may ensnare Lynette forever.
This publication provides recommendations to develop efficient sustainable lifestyles policies and initiatives based on the Global Survey on Sustainable Lifestyles (GSSL). It is aimed at policy-makers and all relevant stakeholders on how best to help support the shift to sustainable lifestyles, for instance through effective communication and awareness-raising campaigns. The survey, which involved 8,000 young urban adults from 20 different countries, points to three key dimensions of empowerment and creativity: new visions of progress, behavioural alternatives, as well as trust and participation. The report highlights the need for working together to better comprehend, educate and empower young adults globally, to enable them to create their own positive visions of sustainable lifestyles, and therefore become actors of change.
“Canada’s leading authority” (Kirk Makin, journalist and author) explains Canada’s national tragedy of wrongful convictions, how anyone could be caught up in them, and what we can do to safeguard justice. Canada has a serious problem: a significant but unknown number of people have been convicted for crimes they didn’t commit. There are famous cases of wrongful convictions, such as David Milgaard and Donald Marshall, Jr., where the system convicted the wrong person for murder. But there are lesser-known cases: people who feel they have no option but to plead guilty, and people convicted of crimes that were imagined by experts or the police that never, in fact, happened. Kent Roach,...
Looks at judicial error and wrongful conviction in Canada, including the cases of David Milgaard, Donald Marshall, Guy Paul Morin, and Clayton Johnson.
Les relations publiques sont omniprésentes dans la société et contribuent à l’établissement de communications qui structurent l’espace public. Ces communications favorisent l’émergence d’une participation citoyenne et d’un engagement organisationnel qui orientent l’évolution des enjeux de société auxquels nous sommes confrontés quotidiennement. Une mutation de la communication, de plus en plus interactive, permet aux citoyens et aux organisations de prendre davantage en charge l’expression de leurs opinions dans un espace médiatique redéfini par l’essor des médias sociaux. Dans ce contexte, le rôle des relations publiques s’inscrit dans une mouvance de disposi...

Associés tantôt à des manipulateurs d’opinion, tantôt à des doreurs d’image, les professionnels des relations publiques souffrent de leur mauvaise réputation. Accusés de masquer la vérité au profit de l’organisation qui les emploie et, par conséquent, au détriment de la société, la majorité d’entre eux travaillent pourtant activement à maintenir des relations harmonieuses entre l’organisation et ses publics afin d’aider les deux parties à réaliser leurs objectifs. Le constat de Michel Dumas : l’absence de réglementation nuit directement à la profession. Actuellement, n’importe quel communicateur peut se présenter comme un professionnel des relations publiq...
