By René Habachi. 2003
"Dans le présent ouvrage, René Habachi, en musicien qu'il était, interprète et orchestre, sur tous les registres de sa pensée…
complice, les grands thèmes de Maurice Zundel. Il en fait une Somme sans jamais systématiser sa pensée, en la gardant toujours dans le rebondissement et le renouvellement de sa propre réflexion en dialogue. Il nous mène de la dynamique de la présence à l'expérience du beau, du vrai, du bien. C'est autant d'accès au mystère de la relation transcendante et de la Personne. Tout Zundel est devant nous. Cette pensée, aux extrêmes, nous ouvre à l'espérance. Il est urgent de la découvrir ou de la redécouvrir pour en vivre. Il est urgent de la lire pour se convaincre, avec Habachi et Zundel, que tout est à venir, tout est avenir! Les racines de l'homme sont en avant de lui! dit Zundel. N'attendons pas!" --4e de couvLes Ursulines de Trois-Rivières: musique et musiciennes (Best-sellers)

Saint Benoît: une spiritualité pour le XXIe siècle
By Paul Lavallée. 2005
Une spiritualité pour le XXIe siècle " Je suis plus que jamais persuadé qu'il y a dans la Règle de…
saint Benoît une spiritualité si véritablement traditionnelle et primitive, si proche des sources chrétiennes, qu'elle peut encore inspirer la vie des hommes et des femmes du XXIe siècle, bien qu'ils évoluent, comme il se doit, dans le monde séculier, et selon leurs vocations spécifiques. " Animé de cette conviction, l'auteur s'adresse d'abord à ceux et celles qui désirent vraiment percer le sens sacré sous-jacent de la vie de ces moines et de ces moniales qui ont choisi le dépouillement et la solitude comme voies privilégiées pour répondre à leur soif d'absolu.What If Soldiers Fought with Pillows?: True Stories of Imagination and Courage

help solve real-world crises, like war, famine, and human rights violations? Through a series of seemingly whimsical questions, this middle-grade nonfiction book introduces readers to people and organizations that are subverting violence, war, and totalitarian power. What if soldiers refused to carry weapons? What if fighter pilots dropped seeds instead of bombs? What if music could be a creative force for democracy? None of these ideas are impossible—in fact, they are all true historical examples of ideas that have been put into action. Accessible, engaging text introduces a different question and example on each spread. Evocative conceptual illustrations provide a light-hearted reminder of the power of imagination. This timely book encourages readers to think critically and dare to ask big questions, which might just change the world.Stories of the Saints: Bold and Inspiring Tales of Adventure, Grace, and Courage

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.This Is Your Brain on Stereotypes: How Science Is Tackling Unconscious Bias
By Tanya Lloyd Kyi, Drew Shannon. 2020
An essential overview of the science behind stereotypes: from why our brains form them to how recognizing them can help…
us be less biased. From the time we're babies, our brains constantly sort and label the world around us --- a skill that's crucial for our survival. But, as adolescents are all too aware, there's a tremendous downside: when we do this to groups of people it can cause great harm. Here's a comprehensive introduction to the science behind stereotypes that will help young people make sense of why we classify people, and how we can change our thinking. It covers the history of identifying stereotypes, secret biases in our brains, and how stereotypes affect our sense of self. Most importantly, it covers current research into how science can help us overcome our biases, offering hope for a future where stereotypes are less prevalent and the world is more fair for everyone. Written by award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi, this timely and hopeful book addresses the issues of discrimination, racism, sexism, ableism and homophobia and offers concrete suggestions on how to make change. It uses scientific inquiry and loads of relatable and interesting examples to explore these uncomfortable topics in age-appropriate and engaging ways. Chapters, sidebars and colorful illustrations break the text into manageable chunks. Besides the many ways this book could be used to inspire frank and in-depth discussions on the importance of addressing stereotypes and bias, it also links to many science and social studies curriculum topics. Backmatter includes an extensive list of sources, suggestions for further reading and an index.Scènes du coeur

sont pas suffisants. Géographe et militant écologiste, Bruno Massé met à contribution sa longue expérience de terrain dans un essai percutant et engagé qui propose de repenser notre rapport problématique au territoire. Il nous invite à questionner les relations de pouvoir qui s'y exercent, à remettre en question la vision extractiviste qui réduit le Québec à une simple zone de ressources exploitables, et à rejoindre les luttes écocitoyennes pour construire une société verte et solidaire. Critiquant vertement l'hégémonie du développement durable, l'auteur s'inspire de la géographie pour formuler huit propositions étonnantes afin de construire un contre-pouvoir territorial effectif vers une transition écologique qui permettra de mieux protéger notre espace, de s'y reconnecter et de mieux y vivreLa vie, toujours la vie !

risques dantesques pour les sociétés humaines et les systèmes naturels. Nous sommes entrés dans le Casino climatique et avons lancé les dés du réchauffement, avertit William Nordhaus. Mais nous avons encore le temps de tourner les talons et de sortir de ce casino. Dans cet ouvrage essentiel, l'auteur explique comment y parvenir. Convoquant toutes les problématiques importantes qui s'articulent autour du débat sur le climat, Nordhaus décrit les aspects scientifiques, économiques et politiques en jeu... ainsi que les mesures nécessaires pour réduire les dangers du réchauffement climatique. Dans des termes accessibles à tout citoyen engagé et en prenant soin de présenter avec objectivité différents points de vue, il expose le problème de bout en bout : du début, le réchauffement trouvant son origine dans notre utilisation individuelle de l'énergie, à la fin, les sociétés employant les réglementations, taxes ou subventions pour réduire les émissions de gaz responsables du changement climatiqueChannel kindness: Stories of kindness and community
By Born This Way Foundation Reporters. 2020
This program includes an introduction read by Lady Gaga For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she…
says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities, and even ourselves. She embodies this mission, and through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself, being kind to yourself, and being kind to others, no matter who they are or where they come from. With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they've collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language. And now, we invite you to read these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice just as Lady Gaga has found hers. Within these pages, you'll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return. In one story, you'll read about a young person with an autoimmune disease, who after being bullied at school, learned how to practice self-love and started an organization with the mission of educating others about the importance of self-love, too; and in another story, you'll meet a young person who decided to start a movement to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraged others to talk about their feelings openly and honestly, a reminder that kindness and mental wellness go hand in hand. Not only were we moved by these individual acts of kindness, but we were also touched by the many stories of organizations, neighborhoods, and entire communities that fully dedicated themselves to helping those in need and found new, innovative ways to make our world a kinder and braver place. Individually and collectively, these stories prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities, and our world. This program is read by Lady Gaga, Cynthia Germanotta, Hanna Atkinson, Connor Long, Alex Aide, Shadille Estepan, Aysha Mahmood, and Mitu Yilma.

By Glennon Doyle. 2020
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • &“Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today.&”—Reese Witherspoon…
(Reese&’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book Pick) In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and &“patron saint of female empowerment&” ( People ) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet others&’ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine • The Washington Post • Cosmopolitan • Marie Claire • &“ Untamed will liberate women—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal. &”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love This is how you find yourself. There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn&’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is . At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice—the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world&’s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member&’s ability to bring her full self to the table. And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is . Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get
