By Pierre-Yves McSween. 2016

passe dans son tordeur une quarantaine de sujets avec perspicacité et humour, cette question toute simple invite à revoir toutes les décisions qui ont un effet direct sur notre compte de banque. Au Québec, l'analphabétisme financier et la consommation à outrance influent négativement sur l'existence de chacun. Pour aider à voir les choses d'un oeil neuf, En as-tu vraiment besoin? place un miroir réaliste devant nos choix de vie et leurs conséquences. L'auteur y remet en question notre façon de dépenser et insiste sur la nécessité de se construire une marge de manoeuvre financière. Cette lecture ne laissera personne indifférent. Pierre-Yves McSween parle d'argent sans filtre et sans tabou, comme on ne l'a jamais fait auparavant dans un livre sur le sujet. Il propose de brillants mécanismes d'autodéfense contre la société de consommation et la naïveté financière. Avec deux grands objectifs en tête: définir le comportement d'un citoyen responsable financièrement; puis, donner au lecteur, enfin, un peu plus de cette liberté dont il a vraiment, tellement, carrément besoin. 2016.Never too late: take control of your retirement and your future

nous. Et dès qu'un discours prétend nous éclairer, nous tendons l'oreille, avides d'entendre l'écho du tout premier signal : les accélérateurs de particules vont bientôt nous révéler l'origine de l'univers en produisant des big bang sous terre ; les données recueillies par le satellite Planck nous dévoiler le visage de Dieu ; certains disent même qu'en vertu de la loi de la gravitation l'univers a pu se créer de lui-même, à partir de rien... Le grand dévoilement ne serait donc devenu qu'une affaire d'ultimes petits pas ? Rien n'est moins sûr... Car de quoi parle la physique quand elle parle d' origine ? Qu'est-ce que les théories actuelles sont réellement en mesure de nous révéler ? À bien les examiner, les perspectives que nous offre la cosmologie contemporaine sont plus vertigineuses encore que tout ce que nous avons imaginé : l'univers a-t-il jamais commencé ?

By Syrus Marcus Ware, Rodney Diverlus, Sandy Hudson. 2020
The killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012 by a white assailant inspired the Black Lives Matter movement, which quickly spread…
outside the borders of the United States. The movement’s message found fertile ground in Canada, where Black activists speak of generations of injustice and continue the work of the Black liberators who have come before them. Until We Are Free contains some of the very best writing on the hottest issues facing the Black community in Canada. It describes the latest developments in Canadian Black activism, organizing efforts through the use of social media, Black-Indigenous alliances, and more."Until We Are Free busts myths of Canadian politeness and niceness, myths that prevent Canadians from properly fulfilling its dream of multiculturalism and from challenging systemic racism, including the everyday assaults on black and brown bodies. This book needs to be read and put into practice by everyone." —Vershawn Young, author of Your Average Nigga: Performing Race, Literacy, and Masculinity and co-author of Other People's English: Code Meshing, Code Switching, and African American Literacy Contributors: Silvia Argentina Arauz - Toronto, ON Leanne Betasamosake Simpson - Toronto, ON Patrisse Cullors - Los Angeles, CA Giselle Dias - Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, ON OmiSoore Dryden - Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS Paige Galette - Whitehorse, YK Dana Inkster - University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB Sarah Jama - Hamilton, ON El Jones - Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, NS Anique Jordan - Toronto, ON Dr. Naila Keleta Mae - University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON Janaya Khan - Los Angeles, CA Gilary Massa - York University, Toronto, ON Robyn Maynard - University of Toronto, Toronto, ON QueenTite Opaleke - Toronto, ON Randolph Riley - Halifax, NS Camille Turner - York University, Toronto, ON Ravyn Wngz - Toronto, ONLa théorie de la relativité d'Einstein (Les grandes découvertes scientifiques)

théories. Puis il explique la relativité et son rôle dans notre vie quotidienne, pour ensuite analyser les théories de la relativité spéciale et de la relativité générale. Il poursuit en décrivant la façon dont ces idées étonnantes ont ouvert la voie à une toute nouvelle interprétation des forces de l'univers, de la puissance que recèle le noyau d'un atome au comportement des corps célestes qui peuplent l'espace. -- 4e de couvBlackLife: Post-BLM and the Struggle for Freedom (Semaphore #15)
By Rinaldo Walcott, Idil Abdillahi. 2019
What does it mean in the era of Black Lives Matter to continue to ignore and deny the violence that…
is the foundation of the Canadian nation state? BlackLife discloses the ongoing destruction of Black people as enacted not simply by state structures, but beneath them in the foundational modernist ideology that underlies thinking around migration and movement, as Black erasure and death are unveiled as horrifically acceptable throughout western culture. With exactitude and celerity, Idil Abdillahi and Rinaldo Walcott pull from local history, literature, theory, music, and public policy around everything from arts funding, to crime and mental health--presenting a convincing call to challenge pervasive thought on dominant culture's conception of Black personhood. They argue that artists, theorists, activists, and scholars offer us the opportunity to rethink and expose flawed thought, providing us new avenues into potential new lives and a more livable reality of BlackLife.No More Nice Girls: Gender, Power, and Why It’s Time to Stop Playing by the Rules
By Lauren McKeon. 2020
A groundbreaking, insightful book about women and power from award-winning journalist Lauren McKeon, which shows how women are disrupting the…
standard (very male) vision of power, ditching convention, and building a more equitable world for everyone.In the age of girl bosses, Beyoncé, and Black Widow, we like to tell our little girls they can be anything they want when they grow up, except they’ll have to work twice as hard, be told to “play nice,” and face countless double standards that curb their personal, political, and economic power. Women today remain a surprisingly, depressingly long way from gender and racial equality. It’s worth asking: Why do we keep playing a game we were never meant to win?Award-winning journalist and author of F-Bomb: Dispatches from the War on Feminism, Lauren McKeon examines the many ways in which our institutions are designed to keep women and other marginalized genders at a disadvantage. In doing so, she reveals why we need more than parity, visible diversity, and lone female CEOs to change this power game. She talks to people doing power differently in a variety of sectors and uncovers new models of power. And as the toxic, divisive, and hyper-masculine style of leadership gains ground, she underscores why it’s time to stop playing by the rules of a rigged game.Holi colors
