L'autobiographie explosive du meilleur footballeur des années 1980-90.
En 1995, Marco van Basten doit mettre fin à son immense carrière, handicapé par une blessure à la cheville mal soignée.
" J'ai arrêté de courir et d'applaudir. Mon tour d'honneur était fini. Quelque chose avait changé. Quelque chose de fondamental. Le football était ma vie et je venais de la perdre. Ce jour-là, je suis mort en tant que footballeur. Et j'avais été invité à mes propres funérailles. "" Pendant trois ans, j'ai fait tout ce que je pouvais pour retrouver la forme. Absolument tout. Bien au-delà des limites de la douleur. Mais c'était fini. En vérité, à la fin, j'étais juste heureux de pouvoir marcher jusqu'à la boulangerie sans avoir mal. Cela m'a coûté très cher. Et je n'en ai jamais vraiment parlé. "Il deviendra entraîneur (Ajax, sélection néerlandaise) mais sans connaître les sommets qu'il avait atteint comme joueur, victime parfois de sa franchise et de sa capacité à dénoncer les compromissions et magouilles du milieu du foot. Son récit sans complaisance ne cache rien de la pression paternelle qu'il a subie afin de le voir réussir dans le football (comme Verstappen en F1), de sa dépression post-blessure, de ses mauvais placements financiers (38M€ de dettes fiscales) ni de sa brouille avec l'autre triple lauréat du Ballon d'Or Johan Cruyff qui était son idole et son ami.
Une autobiographie directe qui nous replonge dans le football champagne des années 1980-90 que les fans de foot n'ont pas oublié. Sur les réseaux sociaux tournent encore régulièrement les vidéos des buts hyper-spectaculaires du grand Marco.
" Je pense que le temps est venu de raconter mon histoire. De mon point de vue. Ma vérité. L'histoire que je n'ai jamais racontée. Dans laquelle je peux remettre les choses en place. Je n'épargnerai personne. Et moi moins que quiconque. "Palmarès

A founder of comparative anatomy and a giant of nineteenth-century biology, Georges Cuvier, and his student and colleague Achille Valenciennes, brought together all that was known about fishes in their massive 22-volume Histoire naturelle des poissons published from 1828 to 1849. Despite the passage of time, this work represents a landmark in the history of science, indispensable to systematic ichthyology and to comparative biology in general. As an introduction to this monumental work, the first volume traces the development of the study of fishes as then understood-from the earliest beginnings to the first third of the nineteenth-century-and summarizes the criteria for classification that their own work would follow. This critically important essay-one of the first attempts at a comprehensive history of any major group of organisms-now appears in English alongside the original French text, beautifully illustrated and accompanied by rich annotations and commentary, serving to bring this important text to our attention and highlighting its historical significance.
An introduction to the French art of baking bread-including ingredient selection, levain cultivation, and bread-making techniques-with more than one hundred illustrated recipes.
The humble baguette is the quintessential staple of French cuisine, but the country has a vast and diverse bread-baking tradition. With an introduction to the history of French bread, guidelines to help the home baker select the right ingredients - grain and flour varieties, water, salt, and levain-this book details the step-by-step techniques and fundamentals of bread making : from feeding the levain, kneading and preparing the dough, and baking, to more than 100 recipes. Eighteen expert bakers and pastry chefs share the sweet and savory recipes that have forged the French bakery's enviable reputation-from rounds of rustic pain de campagne or loaves of olive and oregano bread to regional favorites like fougasse or the Basque taloas tortillas.
A new generation of bakers has expanded the classic French repertoire to include original creations-such as charcoal-sesame baguettes; matcha swirl bread ;
buckwheat and seaweed rolls; and fig, hazelnut, and honey rye bread. In their French style, they also reinterpret heritage breads from across the world-including pita, focaccia, bagels, cheesy Georgian khachapuri, Swedish crispbread, and Indian chapati. Additional bread-based recipes include "surprise bread" finger sandwiches, croque monsieur, onion soup with cheese croutons, and desserts such as French
toast and kouign-amann. For each recipe, pictograms indicate the level of difficulty, time and material required, and whether a recipe is gluten-free.
This is the ultimate reference book for baking homemade bread the French way.
The original edition of Gaston Lenôtre's groundbreaking cookbook inspired generations of aspiring pastry chefs. In this fully revised new edition, you will learn how to bake everything from a Paris-Brest to a Gâteau Saint-Honoré, and how to unlock the secrets of puff pastries, soufflés, charlottes, Bavarian cream, and festive Yule logs. More than 200 recipes ranging from basic to advanced are clearly and simply presented, making them accessible to bakers of every skill level.
With thanks to Gaston Lenôtre's daughter Sylvie Gille-Naves, who also collaborated with him on the original edition of this book, his son Alain Lenôtre, with whom he established the Lenôtre culinary schools, and the chefs at Maison Lenôtre, who carefully reviewed and updated every recipe, this classic work is once again available to home chefs everywhere.
Prince Louis François de Bourbon-Conti - cousin of King Louis XV of France - was a patron of contemporary intellectuals such as Diderot, Beaumarchais, and Rousseau, and well-known as an avid art collector. His stroke of genius was the purchase of the Romanée vineyard, which later became known as the Romanée-Conti.
This volume reveals the secrets of the legendary wine, which has earned a cult following of connoisseurs around the world. Following a biography of the Prince of Conti, detailed notes from recent wine tastings allow readers to identify the characteristics of this unique wine, which must be considered within the context of the Climats of Burgundy-the terroirs where the Burgundian grape varieties grow in optimal conditions. These fabled terroirs have benefited from a unique, centuries-long continuity and they were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015.
To understand Burgundy, readers must be familiar with its Climats, but also conscious of the climate-the meteorological conditions in which each vintage is created-because the production of fine wines, and especially of those made from grape varieties at the very height of maturity, resembles at times an obstacle course created by nature to play tricks on the winegrower. Laurens Delpech-through lengthy excerpts from harvest reports published since 1996 by Aubert de Villaine,
co-director of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti-recounts the saga of successive vintages, which illuminates the difficulty of the vigneron's profession.
This original, complete, and engaging volume brings to the forefront the duality of the Climats and climate that give rise to the finest wines in Burgundy. An excellent overview of the Romanée-Conti, it is also essential reading for those who wish to sharpen their knowledge and appreciation of Burgundian wines.

What if highlighting solutions and telling positive stories was the best way to solve the ecological, economic, and social problems our countries are grappling with?
In 2012, Cyril Dion learned about a study carried out by twenty-two scientists from around the world that forecasts the extinction of multiple forms of life, and possibly a large part of humanity, by the year 2100. This news barely received any media coverage at all. Convinced that spreading catastrophic news is not effective, Dion decided to explore, along with actress and director Mélanie Laurent and a small film crew, what our world could look like if we brought together some of the best solutions to date in agriculture, energy, economics, education, and democracy.
What they found were men and women changing the world: cities that produce their own food and energy, zero-waste systems, businesspeople and towns creating their own currency to prevent speculation and the appropriation of wealth, citizens rewriting their own constitution, and pioneering educational systems.
By linking these initiatives together, Dion and his crew bring to light a new philosophy, a community of thought among people who often don't know each other. New blueprints for society. Cyril Dion is the co-founder of Colibris, a movement launched by Pierre Rabhi, and of the magazine Kaizen. He is also a poet, author, and director. Before writing and co-directing Tomorrow, he co-produced and acted as advisor for Coline Serreau's Think Global, Act Rural.
"Cooking is living... and living is cooking'... This motto has guided me my whole life, and today more than ever, it is at the very heart of my approach as a woman and a chef. So after 25 years of wonderful gastronomic moments, I wanted to create a new restaurant, find an exceptional location, open to the city, open to life; a neighbourhood address encouraging encounters and sharing, confidences as well as bursts of laughter; a house of taste that combines rigour and simplicity, small plates from here and delights from elsewhere, grandmothers' recipes and haute-couture cocktails; an epicurean and elegant living environment in which everyone very simply feels good.' H. D. Hélène Darroze invites us in this book to her new restaurant and has us discover over 60 original recipes specially created for Jòia.
Faithful as ever to the southwestern France of her childhood, through already iconic dishes like Uncle Claude's mussels, the famous short ribs of Angus beef, crispy potatoes with Basque sheep's-milk cheese and rosemary, wild mushroom's like at Amaïa's, new carrots roasted with manuka honey, mille-crêpes with matcha tea, madeleines with lemon and olive oil, Hélène Darroze enchants us through a unique alchemy that is her signature; a mixture of marvellous products cooked with a master's hand, sprinkled with love and tenderness. A gastronomy that resembles her: warm and generous.

Dans un village du pays mossi vivait un homme du nom de Wanga. Il était très riche et très cupide. Tout le monde le détestait et pourtant il avait un ami, Néré, qui était très pauvre et très généreux. Un jour le vent se leva, glacé et désséchant. Néré alla demander une couverture à son ami très riche. Mais celui-ci la lui refusa. Ne voulant être à la charge de personne, Néré quitta le village.

Vous le saurez en lisant ce conte mossi plein de sagesse et d'humanité !
This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on "scientific evidence" to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.

It is said that "words are the mirror of the heart" and that they also reflect my thoughts. If I want my language to be filled with Freedom, Wisdom and Love, there are certain words or at least a certain form of language that I must use.
Jacques Martel has acquired a great expertise in this area through his many communications with the public since 1998, as much in Quebec as in Europe.
In this book, which he intends as a practical tool, he shares with us several keys to help us make the messages we want to transmit more easily understood by others at the level of the heart. He gives me the knowledge of certain words related to spiritual principles, which I can integrate into my ordinary language with my family, my friends, my work relationships and when I address myself to a public. The result is a more effective and a truer communication.
