prises avec des pensées fort profanes. Les trois vices principaux que sont le besoin permanent de manger (gloutonnerie), les fantasmes sexuels (luxure) et l'amour de l'argent (cupidité) sont les premiers à se manifester ; viennent ensuite les trois émotions que sont la tristesse, la colère et l'acédie ; et enfin les deux vices spirituels de la vaine gloire et de l'orgueil. Or nous sommes, nous aussi, tous assaillis par ces mêmes obsessions. Comment y faire face sans pour autant livrer un combat impossible ? Cette "pharmacie spirituelle" veut nous accompagner à appréhender nos sentiments négatifs pour leur opposer des paroles de sérénité, d'humour et de confiance.

civilization is invaded? Indigenous people have been faced with disease, war, broken promises, and forced assimilation. Despite crushing losses and insurmountable challenges, they formed new nations from the remnants of old ones, they adopted new ideas and built on them, they fought back, and they kept their cultures alive. When the only possible “victory” was survival, they survived. In this brilliant follow up to Turtle Island, esteemed academic Eldon Yellowhorn and award-winning author Kathy Lowinger team up again, this time to tell the stories of what Indigenous people did when invaders arrived on their homelands. What the Eagle Sees shares accounts of the people, places, and events that have mattered in Indigenous history from a vastly under-represented perspective—an Indigenous viewpoint.By Kira Vermond, Clayton Hanmer. 2020

might seem trivial, if you dig deeper, you’ll find that our desire to chase the next big thing can have an even bigger impact than expected. Established middle-grade author Kira Vermond and cartoonist Clayton Hanmer team up in this fun and accessible nonfiction look at fads. In four short chapters, the book explores what a fad is, how the latest crazes catch on, and what makes us jump on the bandwagon. Finally, it looks at the fascinating and even frightening effects of fads both modern and historic. Who knew the beaver pelt craze in 17th century Europe would change ecosystems, start wars, and disrupt life as people knew it? Comic-strip illustrations, an upbeat tone, and reader-friendly text make this a fun and timely tool for young readers who are building critical-thinking skills in the age of fake news and a world gone viral.By Amy Fung. 2019

art critic. Following the tangents of a foreign-born perspective and the complexities and complicities in participating in ongoing acts of colonial violence, the book as a whole takes the form of a very long land acknowledgement.
