That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon
All I wanted to do was live my life in peace. Maybe get a cat, expand my spice farm. Really anything that doesn't involve going on a quest where an orc might rip my face off. But they say the Goddess has favourites. If so, I'm clearly not one of them.After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all he wanted to do was kill an evil witch enslaving his people.I mean, I get it, don't get me wrong. But he's dragging me along for the ride, and I'm kind of peeved about it. On the bright side, he keeps burning off his shirt.
Mexican Gothic
The acclaimed author of Gods of Jade and Shadow returns with a mesmerising feminist re-imagining of Gothic fantasy, in which a young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico.He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemí. You have to save me.When glamorous socialite Noemí Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.Noemí's more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing, but she heads immediately to High Place, a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside, determined to discover what is so affecting her cousin. She's tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring: not of his father, the ancient patriarch who is fascinated by Noemí: and not of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom.Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he wants to help - but he might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.And Noemí, mesmerised by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to leave this enigmatic house behind . . .

Law in a Time of Crisis

Intensive Care
13 January, 2020.A bulletin from Health Protection Scotland is sent to all GP practices, describing a 'novel Wuhan coronavirus'. It was the first time I'd heard of the virus. 'Current reports describe no evidence of significant human to human transmission, including no infections of healthcare workers,' it says, reassuringly.As COVID-19 has ripped across the globe, crossing borders and crashing markets, it has already cost tens of thousands their lives. But as we wait to discover the full effects of the pandemic, one thing is already clear: on the frontlines of the crisis are our healthcare workers.In Notes on a Crisis , doctor Gavin Francis will take you beyond the headlines to the bedsides of those suffering most, from his GP surgery in Edinburgh to the homeless charity where he volunteers. And inside this compelling narrative of missed opportunities, tragedies and occasional triumphs, he weaves the wider history of medical practice, pandemics and vaccines.Full of compassion, this deeply personal account of a doctor's experiences during the darkest of times is also an intelligent study of what pandemics can do to us - and what we can do about them.
Emperor of Rome
A sweeping account of the social and political world of the Roman emperors by “the world’s most famous classicist” ( Guardian ). In her international bestseller SPQR , Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, such as the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? She tracks down the emperor at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven. She introduces his wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers―and the ordinary people who pressed begging letters into his hands.Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before. 160 images: 16-page color insert
Breaking & Mending
One of the most beautiful books you will ever read' Kate MosseIn this powerful memoir, Joanna Cannon tells her story as a junior doctor in visceral, heart-rending snapshots.We walk with her through the wards, facing extraordinary and daunting moments: from attending her first post-mortem, sitting with a patient through their final moments, to learning the power of a well- or badly chosen word. These moments, and the small sustaining acts of kindness and connection that punctuate hospital life, teach her that emotional care and mental health can be just as critical as restoring a heartbeat.In a profession where weakness remains a taboo, this moving, beautifully written book brings to life the vivid, human stories of doctors and patients - and shows us why we need to take better care of those who care for us.
Being Mortal
For most of human history, death was a common, ever-present possibility. It didn't matter whether you were five or fifty - every day was a roll of the dice. But now, as medical advances push the boundaries of survival further each year, we have become increasingly detached from the reality of being mortal. So here is a book about the modern experience of mortality - about what it's like to get old and die, how medicine has changed this and how it hasn't, where our ideas about death have gone wrong. With his trademark mix of perceptiveness and sensitivity, Atul Gawande outlines a story that crosses the globe, as he examines his experiences as a surgeon and those of his patients and family, and learns to accept the limits of what he can do. Never before has aging been such an important topic. The systems that we have put in place to manage our mortality are manifestly failing: but, as Gawande reveals, it doesn't have to be this way. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death, but
Une brève histoire de l’égalité
Une brève histoire de l’égalité« Les questions économiques sont trop importantes pour être laissées à une petite classe de spécialistes et de dirigeants. La réappropriation citoyenne de ce savoir est une étape essentielle pour transformer les relations de pouvoir. »T. P.En présentant l’évolution en longue durée des inégalités entre classes sociales dans les sociétés humaines, Thomas Piketty propose une perspective nouvelle sur l’histoire de l’égalité. Il s’appuie sur une conviction forte forgée au fil de ses recherches : la marche vers l’égalité est un combat qui vient de loin, et qui ne demande qu’à se poursuivre au XXIe siècle, pour peu que l’on s’y mette toutes et tous.Thomas PikettyDirecteur d’études à l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales et Professeur à l’École d’économie de Paris, il est notamment l’auteur, chez Points, du Capital auXXIe siècle et de Capital et idéologie.
Introduction La Pensee Complexe
Nous demandons à la pensée qu elle dissipe les brouillards et les obscurités, qu elle mette de l ordre et de la clarté dans le réel, qu elle révèle les lois qui le gouvernent. Le mot de complexité, lui, ne peut qu exprimer notre embarras, notre confusion, notre incapacité à définir de façon simple, à nommer de façon claire, à ordonner nos idées. Sa définition première ne peut fournir aucune élucidation : est complexe ce qui ne peut se résumer en un maître mot, ce qui ne peut se ramener à une loi ni se réduire à une idée simple. La complexité est un mot problème et non un mot solution.Edgar Morin propose ici un nouveau mode de pensée pour affronter la complexité du monde qui nous entoure.
Le Malaise dans la civilisation
« La question cruciale pour le genre humain me semble être de savoir si et dans quelle mesure l''évolution de sa civilisation parviendra à venir à bout des perturbations de la vie collective par l''agressivité des hommes et leur pulsion d''autodestruction. Sous ce rapport, peut-être que précisément l''époque actuelle mérite un intérêt particulier. Les hommes sont arrivés maintenant à un tel degré de maîtrise des forces de la nature qu''avec l''aide de celles-ci il leur est facile de s''exterminer les uns les autres jusqu''au dernier. Ils le savent, d''où une bonne part de leur inquiétude actuelle, de leur malheur, de leur angoisse. Il faut dès lors espérer que l''autre des deux "puissances célestes", l''éros éternel, fera un effort pour l''emporter dans le combat contre son non moins immortel adversaire. Mais qui peut prédire le succès et l''issue ? » - Sigmund FreudTraduit de l''allemand par Bernard Lortholary Présentation, notes et bibliographie par Clotilde Leguil

Le Système totalitaire, tome 3 (T3): Les origines du totalitarisme
L'une des meilleures analyses des régimes totalitaires de l’Allemagne hitlérienne et de la Russie stalinienne, devenue la Référence classique en philosophie et en théorie politiqueLe système politique mis au point par l’Allemagne hitlérienne et la Russie stalinienne ne consiste pas en une simple radicalisation des méthodes dictatoriales. C’est un système entièrement original qui repose sur la transformation des classes en masses, fait de la police le centre du pouvoir et met en œuvre une politique étrangère visant ouvertement à la domination du monde. Animé par une logique de la déraison, il tend à la destruction complète de la société – comme de l’individu.Un classique de la théorie politique.Le Système totalitaire est la troisième partie de l’œuvre magistrale de Hannah Arendt, Les Origines du totalitarisme (New York, 1951), qui inclut aussi Sur l’antisémitisme (« Points Essais » n° 360) et L’Impérialisme (« Points Essais » n° 356).Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)Élève de Heidegger et de Jaspers, elle s’exile aux États-Unis en 1941. Elle y enseignera la philosophie et les sciences politiques dans les universités les plus prestigieuses.Traduit de l’américain par Jean-Loup Bourget, Robert Davreu et Patrick Lévy, révisé par Hélène Frappat
