<b>Quand la nature reprend ses droits...</b> <br> <br>Tout a commencé parce qu’une bouche de captage d’eau de mer était partiellement obstruée par un corps solide non répertorié dans la base de données du système de filtrage. Un incident apparemment anodin mais qui, de fil en aiguille, allait déboucher sur un constat décisif : la vie sur la terre ferme était à nouveau possible pour les mammifères. <br>Il n’en fallait pas plus pour que Jonatan Jonas et quelques autres scientifiques soient envoyés en reconnaissance sur le continent… <br> <br>Passionnant roman d’aventures qui emmène le lecteur dans un monde où une nature plus luxuriante que jamais a repris ses droits, <i>Pakh’m</i> est aussi un roman philosophique dans lequel l’auteur brosse un portrait atypique de l’espèce humaine, cet ensemble d’animaux bizarres au sein duquel la violence, l’intolérance et la cupidité côtoient la paix, le respect d’autrui, la sagesse et l’humour. <br> <br> <b>Un roman d'aventures et de science-fiction qui emmène les lecteurs dans un monde où l'humanité a bien changé.</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>Jorge était donc profondément enfoncé dans son fauteuil, attendant que rien ne se passe, comme la plupart des nuits où il était de garde. Il lisait un bouquin en écoutant de la musique et s’apprêtait à entamer un paquet de chocolat lorsqu’une alarme visuelle et sonore le ramena à la réalité. Le problème concernait la bouche de captage numéro vingt-sept, une des plus proches de la côte et donc située à une profondeur relativement faible. Le système bloquait le démarrage du broyeur-déchiqueteur, car il n’arrivait pas à identifier avec certitude un solide soumis à son analyse. Jorge prit connaissance des données et sentit une bouffée de chaleur envahir son visage et la sueur sourdre de ses pores. <br>— Merde, c’est pas vrai ! <br>L’analyse des données laissait penser qu’il s’agissait d’un cadavre. Un cadavre humain, s’entend. <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br>Né à Namur en 1964, <b>Hugues Alexan</b> habite à présent à Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, un petit village médiéval accolé à la ville de Dinant. <br>Cadre par la force des choses et rêveur par nature, épris d'indépendance et de son épouse, misanthrope capable d'aimer intensément l'être humain pris individuellement, ses principaux centres d'intérêt sont la lecture et - bien sûr - l'écriture. Pour notre plus grand plaisir.

<div> <div> This book offers a compelling critical analysis of American society by examining the role of psychotherapy within social policy and the culture that has fashioned it. It takes a deeply critical look at ‘the social clinic,’ defined here as a ubiquitous organizational arrangement that includes clinical and community psychology, counseling, clinical social work, psychiatry, much of the self-help industry, complementary and alternative medicine and others. Epstein’s analysis concludes that the social clinic lacks credible evidence of effectiveness and its continued popularity expresses popular but predatory American values such as romantic individualism, the triumph of the subjective, a sense of personal and political chosenness, persistent bigotry, and a preference for tribal as opposed to civic identities. This careful examination of American society through the lens of psychotherapeutic practice characterizes the social clinic as a soothing fiction of the United States. </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> The book offers caring services as the unrealized alternative to clinical treatment, capable of achieving greater personal adjustment as well as social and economic equality. It will appeal to readers with an interest in social welfare, public policy, and public administration, as well as to students and scholars of psychotherapy, counseling, social work, rehabilitation, and community psychology. <br> </div> </div>

Master the art and science of data storytelling--with frameworks and techniques to help you craft compelling stories with data. The ability to effectively communicate with data is no longer a luxury in today's economy; it is a necessity. Transforming data into visual communication is only one part of the picture. It is equally important to engage your audience with a narrative--to tell a story with the numbers. Effective Data Storytelling will teach you the essential skills necessary to communicate your insights through persuasive and memorable data stories. Narratives are more powerful than raw statistics, more enduring than pretty charts. When done correctly, data stories can influence decisions and drive change. Most other books focus only on data visualization while neglecting the powerful narrative and psychological aspects of telling stories with data. Author Brent Dykes shows you how to take the three central elements of data storytelling--data, narrative, and visuals--and combine them for maximum effectiveness. Taking a comprehensive look at all the elements of data storytelling, this unique book will enable you to: * Transform your insights and data visualizations into appealing, impactful data stories * Learn the fundamental elements of a data story and key audience drivers * Understand the differences between how the brain processes facts and narrative * Structure your findings as a data narrative, using a four-step storyboarding process * Incorporate the seven essential principles of better visual storytelling into your work * Avoid common data storytelling mistakes by learning from historical and modern examples Effective Data Storytelling: How to Drive Change with Data, Narrative and Visuals is a must-have resource for anyone who communicates regularly with data, including business professionals, analysts, marketers, salespeople, financial managers, and educators.
