"Mon frère a passé une grande partie de sa vie à rêver. Dans son univers ouvrier et pauvre où la violence sociale se manifestait souvent par la manière dont elle limitait les désirs, lui imaginait qu'il deviendrait un artisan mondialement connu, qu'il voyagerait, qu'il ferait fortune, qu'il réparerait des cathédrales, que son père, qui avait disparu, reviendrait et l'aimerait. Ses rêves se sont heurtés à son monde et il n'a pu en réaliser aucun. Il voulait fuir sa vie plus que tout mais personne ne lui avait appris à fuir et tout ce qu'il était, sa brutalité, son comportement avec les femmes et avec les autres, le condamnait ; il ne lui restait que les jeux de hasard et l'alcool pour oublier. A trente-huit ans, après des années d'échecs et de dépression, il a été retrouvé mort sur le sol de son petit studio. Ce livre est l'histoire d'un effondrement."--

Dans un de ces lieux où le danger estdéjà réel, concret.Face à un effondrement d’une telle ampleur, il est aisé de sombrer dans laparalysie.

L’inertie est une légende, et la potentialité d’un soulèvement en est la preuve.Camille Étienne a 24 ans. Pour un soulèvement écologique est son premier livre.

The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there are spells to be learned, potions to be brewed and Divination lessons (sigh) to be attended. Harry is expecting these; however, other quite unexpected events are already on the march ..."The saga of Harry Potter and his creator has almost reached the status of myth ... The books strike as deeply as the most timeless fairy tales. Harry and his friends seem intensely real-parents report a frequent refrain of 'they're just like us.'" -Maclean's"A richly imagined world to which young readers will surrender themselves, and one of the most attractive heroes to come around in a long while." -Globe and Mail"Harry Potter is the biggest phenomenon in kids' publishing for decades ... Rowling has taken a classic formula and given it a contemporary (but not too contemporary) twist, where the hero crosses the boundary from the day-to-day mundanity to a world of magic and wonder." -Vancouver Sun

In this eagerly anticipated sequel to the classic bestseller In Search of Schrodinger's Cat, John Gribbin digs even deeper into the mysterious and confounding world of quantum mechanics. Gribbin takes infinitely complex, mind-bending experiments, brings them to life, and makes them accessible to the lay reader. Under his deft guidance, we can begin to grasp the fundamental riddle of today's quantum mechanics: how a single photon can be seen going in two directions at once. Along the way, Gribbin reveals some fascinating discoveries: how quantum particles could one day be used in a Star Trek-type teleportation system, and how quantum cryptographers have developed ways of making unbreakable codes using quantum effects. Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality illuminates the world's most intriguing and enigmatic scientific phenomenon - and shows how the "impossible dreams" of such legendary scientists as Bohr, Feynman, and Einstein may soon become reality.

C'est une absolue perfection, et comme divine, de savoir jouir loyalement de son être. Nous cherchons d'autres conditions, pour n'entendre l'usage des nôtres, et sortons hors de nous, pour ne savoir quel il y fait. Si, avons-nous beau monter sur des échasses, car sur des échasses encore faut-il marcher de nos jambes. Et au plus élevé trône du monde, si ne sommes assis que sus notre cul. " Toute sa morale repose sur un mouvement de fierté par lequel il décide de prendre en main sa vie hasardeuse, puisque rien n'a de sens, si ce n'est en elle " (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).
