Navigating Nystagmus with your doctor: What You Need To Know
Par Edie Ann Glaser. 2008
In this first comprehensive book written for the patient with nystagmus and those who care for them, the topics include…
What causes nystagmus, How to get a good diagnosis, How nystagmus affects daily vision, and What various treatments are available, including optical aids, vision therapy, drugs, and a review of the recently developed tenotomy procedure.

by both parents. All alone, he fell into a life of abject poverty, forcing Mulli to wander from hut to hut begging for food for his very survival, unable even to attend school. As a teenager Mulli started a small taxi company, which grew to be very successful. Eventually he expanded his business ventures to include real estate, insurance, and oil and gas distribution, becoming a highly successful businessman. But despite all his success, the growing struggle in his heart over the plight of thousands of Kenyan street children remained strong, until one day he surrendered to the call of God on his life to sell everything he owned and begin rescuing street children from the slums of Kenya. 2016.Native: dispatches from an Israeli-Palestinian life
Par Sayed Qashu. 2016

relate to, rather than two that cannot coexist together. Here he writes about his children’s upbringing and encounters with racism, fatherhood and married life, the Jewish-Arab conflict, his professional ambitions, travels around the world as an author, and his love of books and literature. He reflects on social and cultural dynamics as experienced by someone who straddles two societies. 2016. Uniform title: Ben Haaretz.My life with Bob: flawed heroine keeps book of books, plot ensues
Par Pamela Paul. 2017
For twenty-eight years, Pamela Paul has been keeping a diary that records the books she reads, rather than the life…
she leads. Or does it? Over time, it's become clear that this Book of Books, or Bob, as she calls him, tells a much bigger story. For Paul, books reflect her inner life-- her fantasies and hopes, her dreams and ideas. And her life, in turn, influences which books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, diversion or self-reflection, information or entertainment. "My Life with Bob" isn't about what's in those books; it's about the relationship between books and readers. A testament to the power of books to provide the perspective, courage, companionship, and ultimately self-knowledge to forge our own path. 2017.Ten short years ago, Barack Obama became president of the United States, and changed the course of history. Ten short…
years ago, our America was hailed globally as a breathtaking example of democracy, as a rainbow coalition of everyday people marching to the same drum beat. We had finally overcome. But did we? Both the presidencies of Obama and Donald Trump have produced some of the ugliest divides in history: horrific racial murders, non-stop mass shootings, the explosion of attacks on immigrants and on the LGBTQ community, the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, a massive gap between the haves and the have-nots, and legions of women stepping forth to challenge sexual violence-and men-in all forms. In this collection of 13 essays, the author interweaves brutally honest personal stories with the saga of America, then and now. 2018.Myself with others: selected essays
Par Carlos Fuentes. 1988

He starts with his own beginnings as a writer, covers other writers such as Borges and Kundera, and ends with his most recent political statement, his commencement address at Harvard. This is not a translation; the author has used the English language alone. 1988.Mission to the head-hunters: How God's Forgiveness Transformed Tribal Enemies (Biography Ser.)

Par Mathieu Bélisle. 2017
Lecture attentive de la grande et de la petite histoire de ce pays ainsi que de sa littérature, cet essai…
brosse le portrait de l'homme québécois moyen dont le défi, qui est aussi celui de l'Occident, consiste à supporter la tension entre Sancho Pança et son maître, entre l'horizon prosaïque et le goût du vertige et de la verticalité. L'honnêteté intellectuelle et la bienveillante ironie de l'essayiste - qui se définit comme un généraliste formé par la littérature et qui avoue se reconnaître dans cet homme moyen -, la sobriété de sa prose et de sa pensée en font un guide sûr pour voyager dans un pays où la vie ordinaire est pour les uns un point d'arrivée et pour les autres un point de départ. 2017.L'intelligence de la nature: l'homme n'a rien inventé
Par Michel Lamy, Rémy Chauvin. 2002
L'auteur dresse un inventaire de faits peu connus ou totalement ignorés, qui démontrent qu'il y a de l'intelligence non seulement…
chez l'homme, mais dans l'ensemble de la nature. Un essai qui nous forcera "à un certain nombre de révisions déchirantes de nos idées sur les animaux, sur l'homme et sur le monde vivant en général". 2002.L'indiscrétion des frères Goncourt: essai
Par Roger Kempf. 2004
Historiens et biographes, critiques d'art, dramaturges, romanciers, Jules et Edmond de Goncourt comptent parmi les écrivains majeurs du XIXe siècle.…
Beaucoup ne voient dans leur Journal, matière de cet essai, que cancans et calomnies. N'est-ce pas méjuger le travail des deux frères ? Chaque soir, ils se font un devoir de consigner à chaud, sans vergogne, tout ce qu'ils ont vu, surpris, entendu : des habitudes sexuelles d'Alphonse Daudet aux problèmes de vessie d'Émile Zola, sans ménager leurs propres travers. 2004.L'inconnu sur la terre: [essai]
