Written during a time of escalating tensions and conflicts, the book employs a blend of lyrical rhetoric and compelling argumentation to inspire readers to consider the costs of war and the transformative power of collective goodwill. Van Dyke's poignant reflections resonate within the literary context of early 20th-century pacifist movements, embodying a spirit of reconciliation and moral courage that remains relevant today. Henry Van Dyke, a revered poet, essayist, and clergyman, was deeply influenced by his experiences during tumultuous historical periods. His commitment to social justice and humanitarian ideals informed his writing, particularly his belief in the necessity of fighting against oppression while striving for peace. As a prominent figure in American literature and an advocate for international understanding, Van Dyke'Äôs insights are shaped by an earnest desire to address the deeper human needs for compassion and unity beyond mere political resolutions. This book is not only a call to action but an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the interplay between conflict resolution and moral imperatives. With thoughtful insights that resonate across generations, "Fighting For Peace" encourages readers to reflect on their own roles in promoting peace and to embrace the idea that true change stems from righteous conviction and collective effort.

Dominique Prinet

Recalling some of the most memorable escapades ever conducted in the Canadian Arctic with bush planes, Flying to Extremes takes place in the late ’60s and early ’70s from a base at Yellowknife, in the heart of the Northwest Territories.Beyond recounting so many near-mishaps, this book is also about colourful people: the trappers, prospectors, miners, adventurers and gold-ingot thieves who constituted the fauna at the main bar in Yellowknife in those days. For Arctic dreamers, there was always the flight to the Nahanni River, with its Deadman’s Valley, hot springs, tales of lost or dead prospectors, the many airplanes crashed in pursuit of gold, and much more Nahanni lore.This entertaining book recollects Prinet’s adventures as a young man while capturing the humour, beauty, danger and unique culture of northern communities, in the dramatic landscape of the Canadian Arctic. Readers familiar with the region and those who can only dream of visiting it will both find this title a nostalgic and captivating read.

Screen Damage - The Dangers of...

Michel Desmurget

All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of two, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach thirteen, it's more than seven hours a day. Added up over the first eighteen years of life, this is the equivalent of almost thirty school years, or fifteen years of full-time employment. 
 
 
 
Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. 
 
 
 
Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy listening: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behavior, and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes.
