outils ou la conscience de soi pour citer des traits qui ont longtemps servi à nous définir comme l'espèce dominante de la planète. Dirons-nous que nous sommes plus stupides qu'un écureuil parce que nous sommes moins aptes à nous souvenir des caches de centaines de glands enterrés ? Ou que nous avons une perception de notre environnement plus fine qu'une chauve-souris dotée de lécholocalisation ? De Waal retrace l'ascension et la chute de la vision mécaniste des animaux et ouvre notre esprit à l'idée d'un esprit animal bien plus raffiné et complexe que nous ne l'imaginions Frans de Waal nous emmène à la découverte de pieuvres qui se servent de coques de noix de coco comme outils ; déléphants qui classent les humains selon lâge, le sexe et la langue ; ou dAyumu, jeune chimpanzé mâle dont la mémoire fulgurante humilie celle des humains. Sur la base de travaux de recherche effectués avec des corbeaux, des dauphins, des perroquets, des moutons, des guêpes, des chauves-souris, des baleines et, bien sûr, des chimpanzés et des bonobos, Frans de Waal explore létendue et la profondeur de lintelligence animale. Il révèle à quel point les animaux sont en réalité intelligents et à quel point, trop longtemps, nous avons sous-estimé leurs aptitudes. 2016.

principaux responsables de l'obésité, du diabète, du cancer et des maladies cardiovasculaires. Qu'en est-il vraiment? Qui croire pour démêler le vrai du faux? À quoi s'en tenir pour le consommer avec modération? Catherine Lefebvre a mené l'enquête et dresse un portrait objectif de cet aliment. Elle présente le sucre par morceau: son histoire particulièrement sombre, la situation des petites comme des immenses plantations sucrières, leur impact sur l'environnement et sur la vie des gens qui y travaillent, ainsi que les stratégies employées par l'industrie alimentaire pour nous y faire succomber et nous en faire consommer toujours davantage. Catherine Lefebvre décrit également les différentes familles de sucre, leurs produits dérivés, leur utilisation, les processus d'assimilation par l'organisme, les conséquences d'une surconsommation, exemples et cas pratiques à l'appui. 2016.Sur le gril

17th century - Francis Bacon and Thomas Bushell contended that a vegetarian diet provided a key not only to long life but also to spiritual perfection. Stuart follows its development through its Romantic proponents Shelley and Rousseau and on into the 19th century, when doctors proffered scientific evidence that human teeth and intestines were more similar to those of herbivores than of carnivores, to more recent history, which has seen the expansion of a correlative animal-rights movement. 2006.
