By Bonnie Szumski. 2023
"When someone you know--when someone you love--dies from suicide the sense of loss and guilt can be overwhelming and it…
is natural to wonder how you can ever come back from that pain. Suicide: When It Happens to Someone You Know offers a deeply personal look at the thoughts, feelings, and grieving process in the aftermath of suicide. It shows that there is no magic elixir, no ideal path to feeling okay again but that the way back includes accepting how you feel, talking to people you trust, and taking care of yourself." -- Provided by publisherOeuvres poétiques

By Javier Zamora. 2022
"Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago" one day, you'll take a trip to be with…
us. Like an adventure.' Javier Zamora's adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a "coyote" hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents' arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora's story, but it's also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home." -- Provided by publisherLes meilleurs articles de Bill: extraits du Grapevine

By Joe Dolce. 2016
Pot. Weed. Grass. Mary Jane. We all think we know what cannabis is and what we use it for. But…
do we? A war on cannabis has been waged in the United States since the early years of the twentieth century, yet in the past decade, society has undergone a massive shift in perspective that has allowed us to reconsider our beliefs. Dolce visits places including Amsterdam, Israel, California, and Colorado, where he unfolds the odd, shocking, and wildly funny history of this complex plant. From the outlandish stories of murder trials where defendants claimed "insanity due to marijuana consumption" to the groundbreaking success stories about the plant’s impressive medicinal benefits, Dolce paints a fresh and much-needed portrait of cannabis, our changing attitudes toward it, and the brave new direction science and cultural acceptance are leading us. 2016.Réflexions de Bill: le mode de vie des A.A.

By Richard K Rein. 2022
"On an otherwise normal weekday in the 1980s, commuters on busy Route 1 in central New Jersey noticed an alarming…
sight: a man in a suit and tie dashing across four lanes of traffic, then scurrying through a narrow underpass as cars whizzed by within inches. The man was William "Holly" Whyte, a pioneer of people-centered urban design. Decades before this perilous trek to a meeting in the suburbs, he had urged planners to look beyond their desks and drawings: "You have to get out and walk." American Urbanist shares the life and wisdom of a man whose advocacy reshaped many of the places we know and love today--from New York's bustling Bryant Park to preserved forests and farmlands around the country. Holly's experiences as a WWII intelligence officer and leader of the genre-defining reporters at Fortune Magazine in the 1950s shaped his razor-sharp assessments of how the world actually worked--not how it was assumed to work. His 1956 bestseller, The Organization Man, catapulted the dangers of "groupthink" and conformity into the national consciousness. Over his five decades of research and writing, Holly's wide-ranging work changed how people thought about careers and companies, cities and suburbs, urban planning, open space preservation, and more. He was part of the rising environmental movement, helped spur change at the planning office of New York City, and narrated two films about urban life, in addition to writing six books. No matter the topic, Holly advocated for the decisionmakers to be people, not just experts. "We need the kind of curiosity that blows the lid off everything," Holly once said. His life offers encouragement to be thoughtful and bold in asking questions and making space for differing viewpoints. This revealing biography offers a rare glimpse into the mind of an iconoclast whose healthy skepticism of the status quo can help guide our efforts to create the kinds of places we want to live in today." -- Provided by publisherThe butter battle book
