Faim de vivre: témoignage
Par Jérôme Ferrer. 2018
Quand le cancer s'invite à table, même un grand chef se sent démuni. Jérôme Ferrer l'a vécu lorsque Virginie, avec…
qui il s'apprêtait à fonder une famille, a appris qu'elle avait un cancer du poumon de stade 4. Plongé dans un combat injuste, il a affronté la maladie avec les armes qui sont les siennes : le plaisir de cuisiner des plats assaisonnés de souvenirs et de tendresse. Son témoignage est un récit touchant, une réflexion sur le pouvoir d'une simple recette de tomates farcies, une belle histoire d'accompagnement et un généreux hommage à la ' faim de vivre ' de ceux qui s'aiment. Faim de vivre trouvera un bel écho parmi tous ceux qui accompagnent une personne atteinte du cancer et se sentent impuissants à la soutenir. 2018.L'homme qui marche

Durant ces onze années, le marcheur porte turban et grande barbe au Soudan, mange des insectes en Afrique, du chien en Corée et du serpent en Chine. Il dort sous les ponts, dans des foyers pour sans-abri, voire dans des prisons, mais la plupart du temps chez des gens séduits par son aventure. 2013.Northern Nurses II: more nursing adventures from Canada's North

Par Gary L Saunders. 2015
While organized by tree species like a reference book, Saunders' essays actually impart equal parts natural and personal history. And…
like the best sylvan essayists of earlier generations (Thoreau, Leopold), Saunders draws greater truths about our relationship with nature - and with each other - out of what on first glance might appear to be recitals of botanical facts or yarns about adventures past.

du commun. Depuis plus de quarante ans, cette femme vétérinaire conte aux Français, à la radio ou à la télévision, les histoires de ses animaux, ceux qu'elle aime et protège avec ardeur depuis son enfance.

Riche de ses très nombreux voyages sur tous les continents, Marie-Claude Bomsel livre aussi un plaidoyer, à l'heure où l'avenir de la planète est en question, en faveur d'une meilleure protection de la condition animale et de la sauvegarde de la nature. 2016.
