By Walter Isaacson. 2017
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Isaacson weaves a…
narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius. Bestseller. 2017.By James Hamilton. 2017

in rural Nova Scotia to a constant stream of stray and wounded creatures - some of them have moved in permanently. In "Wild and Woolly", she records a year lived in harmony with the seasons and - not always harmoniously - with her many furred and feathered companions. 2000.By Barry Moser. 2016
Brothers Barry and Tommy Moser were born of the same parents in Chattanooga, Tennessee, slept in the same bedroom, went…
to the same school, and were both poisoned by their family's deep racism and anti-Semitism. But as they grew older, their perspectives and their paths grew further and further apart. The brothers began to think so differently that they could no longer find common ground. After one particularly fractious conversation when Barry was in his late fifties and Tommy was in his early sixties, their fragile relationship fell apart. With the raw emotions that so often surface when we talk of our siblings, Barry recalls how they were finally able to traverse that great divide and reconcile their troubled brotherhood before it was too late. 2016.By Gilles A Bordeleau. 1986

un immense intérêt tant au Canada qu'en Europe. Son blogue est rapidement inondé de témoignages et commentaires soulignant les bienfaits de la diète hypotoxique, pointant aussi les difficultés rencontrées. Infatigable chercheuse, Jacqueline Lagacé s'attelle aussitôt à la tâche, soucieuse d'apporter des réponses précises aux 1001 questions soulevées et de faire état des avancées de la recherche scientifique en ce domaine. L'ouvrage Une alimentation ciblée pour préserver ou retrouver la santé de l'intestin est le fruit de ce travail. L'auteure y vulgarise les connaissances scientifiques les plus récentes concernant les liens entre les aliments consommés et les maladies inflammatoires chroniques. Elle indique comment et pourquoi les choix alimentaires sont en très grande partie responsables de l'équilibre ou du déséquilibre fonctionnel de l'intestin et, conséquemment, de la santé globale. Elle explicite aussi l'impact de la diète hypotoxique sur les maladies chroniques. Enfin, elle apporte un éclairage précieux sur des sujets controversés, comme la prise de suppléments de calcium, de vitamine D, d'oméga 3, la fiabilité des tests de détection des intolérances alimentaires, etc. La réussite de la diète hypotoxique passe par une alimentation ciblée et cet ouvrage est l'outil indispensable pour y parvenir. 2016.By Mairlyn Smith, Liz Pearson. 2007
