'I think you have something here' I said,'This could lead to a whole new way of understanding criminal behaviour. As far as I know no one's ever tried to figure out why serial killers kill. The implications are profound.'Haunting, heartfelt, and deeply human, Dr Ann Burgess's remarkable memoir combines a riveting personal narrative of fearless feminism and ambition, bone-chilling encounters with real-life monsters, and a revealing portrait of the ever-evolving US criminal justice system. A Killer By Design will inspire, terrify, and enlighten you in equal measure.It forces us to confront the age-old question 'What drives someone to kill, and how can we stop them?"Of all the colleagues I've worked with, Ann is one of the sharpest – and one of the toughest ... She taught us how to harness the chaos of serial killers' minds and helped us decipher the undecipherable. I'd recommend that everyone read A Killer By Design; not only is it a great page-turner, but it's about time Ann's story was heard' - JOHN E. DOUGLAS, former FBI criminal profiler and bestselling author of Mindhunter.

Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal... Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that's one order she's more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.A Choice.... Casteel Da'Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he's the only way for her to get what she wants-to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she's ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself-about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she's far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.A Secret... But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

L'EXPÉRIENCE SPIRITUELLE chrétienne peut parfois être vue selon les seuls critères offerts par les sciences humaines - la psychologie, la sociologie ou l'étude des phénomènes religieux. Sans dédaigner cet apport, les textes d'André Louf réunis dans ce volume nous conduisent pourtant autrement à travers les lieux et les activités de l'Esprit - pédagogie irréductible à toute autre science. S'appuyant sur quelques éléments de la tradition monastique, éloquents pour chacun de nous, l'auteur nous enseigne les différentes phases de la vie spirituelle : écoute de la parole, service et patience, conversation et réconciliation avec les frères. La vie contemplative n'est plus alors comprise uniquement comme l'affaire du religieux ; elle devient celle de tout un chacun désirant acquérir ces sens spirituels sans lesquels il n'est pas possible de vivre selon le " sentir " du Christ
« L’adolescence est le seul temps où l’on ait appris quelque chose. »Dans ce deuxième volume d’À la recherche du temps perdu, couronné par le prix Goncourt en 1919, le héros est maintenant adolescent. À Paris, il écoute la célèbre Berma au théâtre, pénètre dans le salon de Charles Swann et de son épouse Odette en se liant avec leur fille Gilberte, puis fait la connaissance de l’écrivain Bergotte qu’il admire depuis l’enfance. À Balbec ensuite, avec sa grand-mère et Françoise, il découvre la vie bourdonnante du Grand-Hôtel, les églises normandes et les plaisirs du bord de la mer. Il fait enfin la rencontre des Guermantes, Saint-Loup et le baron de Charlus, ainsi que du peintre Elstir et, vision inoubliable, celle d’Albertine et de ses amies de la « petite bande » remontant la digue…Au lendemain de la Grande Guerre, Proust obtient, avec À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs, le succès qu’il escomptait. Ce volume, qu’il qualifiait d’« intermède languissant », avant les thématiques plus sombres des volumes suivants, nous donne à lire une œuvre riche et somptueuse, où affleure la vocation d’écrivain et où l’éducation sentimentale prend un nouveau tournant.Édition de Julie André.
