would be irresponsible to send travellers to a strange city without a map, it would be wrong to let defenceless kids navigate a world inhabited by parents, teachers, and other adults without an in-depth guide to how the older (although not necessarily smarter) half lives. This book explores the strangest and most mysterious facets of adult life, such as: What do teachers really talk about in the teacher’s lounge? And how can adults stand to drink a beverage as disgusting as coffee? With tongue-in-cheek sidebars and tips for good-natured trickery throughout, this fully loaded guide will be a “must have” for every kid.

Et l'oeuvre de Jean-Paul Losier, un non-voyant, est impressionnante. Fils d'Acadie, cinquième d'une famille de treize enfants, Jean-Paul a surmonté tous les obstacles et ils étaient légions. Bachelier en arts et en education, avocat, 'l'homme qui savait les livres par coeur' a aussi enseigné 24 années à des voyants. Pendant toutes ces années, Jean-Paul a cultivé la terre familiale avec audace, fierté et un success croissant. Intelligence hors du commun, esprit analytique, influent mais discret et sans prétention, le rayonnement et l'importance de ce philanthrope ne se résument pas qu'aux non-voyants, à l'I.N.C.A. ou aux Acadiens. 2004.I could pee on this: and other poems by cats (I Could Pee on This Ser.)
