human beings. In this book Meir Schneider relates the experiences of his own life and his later work with people affected by chronic headaches, polio and muscular dystrophy.

By Peter White. 1999
Unsentimental and humorous autobiography by the BBC's disability affairs correspondent, the second blind son born to sighted parents. The text…
covers Peter White's childhood, his experiences at special schools, the shock of `real life' - of the problems of coping with seemingly ordinary, everyday living away from home or a special school, his career with the BBC, marriage and parenthood, his love of sport, his occasional rage at the attitudes of `normal' people, and his sometimes volatile relationship with his father. 1999.Scott of the Antarctic: A Life Of Courage And Tragedy In The Extreme South
By David Crane. 2006
Robert Falcon Scott and his four companions died from hunger and cold in 1912; they had reached the South Pole…
on January 18, only to discover that the Norwegian Amundsen had beaten them there a month earlier. The confirmation of Scott's death was met by an outpouring of public grief in Britain for the man quickly elevated to martyr status. In subsequent decades, biographers painted Scott as a self-absorbed, rash blunderer whose hubris led to the needless death of himself and his men, but Crane strives to present both the heroic and less-admirable aspects of Scott's career. 2006.Salut au grand Sud (Documents)

By Anselm Grün, Corinna Gepner. 2013
'' Dans une société où même le temps du loisir doit être comblé par des activités , nous courons, nous…
courons... jusqu'à ce qu'advienne la grande fatigue. Lorsque nous nous heurtons à la frustration et à l'impuissance, quand le chemin que nous avons pris ne nous a finalement menés nulle part, nous nous sentons vidés, dépossédés de tout désir. Anselm Grün nous montre comment faire face à ces moments d'angoisse voire d'effondrement, qui peuvent dès lors être saisis comme autant d'occasions de revenir vers nous-mêmes. En effet, ces grandes fatigues ont la capacité insoupçonnée de nous mener vers l'essentiel de notre vie : le rythme de notre propre âme et de notre corps afin de retrouver notre source intérieure.
