'James is a titan of twentieth-century politics and culture' Sunday Times 'The Black Jacobins is not only a groundbreaking historical work; it is a masterpiece in storytelling and analysis' Gary Younge The iconic study of the Haitian revolution, by one of the most important historians of the twentieth century C. L. R. James's pioneering account of the 1791 San Domingo slave revolt and the creation of the republic of Haiti changed the way colonial history was written. By putting the experiences of the slave rebels, led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, centre stage, James made them agents of their own story. His work, written as part of the fight to end colonialism in Africa, helped inspire radical liberation movements worldwide, from Black Power to Castro's revolution in the Caribbean. With an Introduction by Christienna Fryar

Hendri, a coffin maker, has one goal in life: to see the dead body of his nemesis Satan Loppo being lowered into the coffin he has painstakingly carved. For it was Loppo who defiled his beloved Beatrice, and let loose his hellhound Hitler upon Hendri, giving him a permanent limp. From inside his coffin shop, Hendri watches the world go by even as he prepares to deliver justice upon Loppo. He is confronted by the son of his best friend becoming enamored with Loppo's wealth, Loppo's evil designs towards the hills of Aadi Nadu, and his own Christian guilt that regularly comes to haunt him. Then he meets Pundit, a 112-year-old watchmaker who was part of Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian National Army and is building an 'Anti-Clock', which can turn back time. When Loppo too hears of the Anti-Clock and desires to possess it, the inevitable battle becomes a reality.

Nous avons à notre portée une ressource aux pouvoirs insoupçonnés qui peut révolutionner notre bien-être et notre santé : la respiration. Fruit d'années de recherche et d'investigation, ce livre revisite l'art ancestral de la respiration et nous livre toutes les clés et techniques du " mieux respirer ". Un succès aux Etats-Unis depuis sa parution. Inspirer, expirer. Nous le faisons 25000 fois par jour. Et pourtant, 90 % d'entre nous ne respire pas comme il faudrait : au cours de l'évolution humaine, nous avons perdu notre formidable capacité à respirer correctement, alors même que la respiration est la clé de notre santé et de notre bien-être. Dans cet ouvrage, James Nestor, journaliste et auteur, explore cet art oublié de la respiration - décrit dans de nombreuses sagesses anciennes et aujourd'hui réhabilité par la science -, et nous livre les outils pour mieux respirer. Fruit de dix années de voyages à travers le monde, d'expérimentations personnelles (qui lui ont permis de surmonter des problèmes respiratoires récurrents) et de recherches dans les premiers traités de médecine que dans les études les plus récentes (en pneumologie, biochimie, psychologie), cet ouvrage fascinant restitue les découvertes sur le pouvoir de la respiration, qui redéfinissent aujourd'hui tout le potentiel du corps humain. On y apprend ainsi comment pratiquer différents schémas respiratoires peut influencer notre masse corporelle et notre état de santé général ; que notre façon de respirer affecte la taille et le fonctionnement de nos poumons ; comment certaines maladies modernes (asthme, anxiété, déficit d'attention, psoriasis...) peuvent être aggravées par une mauvaise respiration ; que la respiration nous permet de prendre la main dans notre propre système nerveux, de contrôler nos réponses immunitaires et de recouvrer la santé. Avec cet ouvrage, vous ne respirerez plus jamais comme avant ! Les 5 clés du " mieux respirer " : respirer par le nez, bien expirer pour vider l'air de ses poumons/prolonger l'expiration/expirer à fond, respirer lentement et moins souvent, bien mâcher, respirer intensément de temps à autre (et pendant un bref laps de temps) Différentes techniques respiratoires, en prévention, aux effets variés sur le corps et l'esprit : le tummo pour se donner un coup de boost, le Sudarshan Kriya, une respiration consciente qui agit sur le système nerveux, pour déstresser, la cohérence cardiaque comme clé de la santé et de la longévité, etc

A small, dark treat published for the first time in book form in celebration of what would have been P.D. James' 100th birthday.

Abducted, enslaved, and powerless fighting for survival. The day started like any other day. Narrock, Allister, and the rest of their kindred engaged in training to unlock their upper limits: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and heart. To unlock a limit, a warrior must prove themselves worthy to complete the temple ritual. Back then, the goal was simple, train to become an elite warrior. No one could have imagined how drastic their lives would change in less than one sun cycle. One moment, they were free. The next, they were engaged in a battle more intense than any training they have ever experienced-survival. After being kidnapped to Ryzanu, ten children of Jhatar werestripped of their identity and forced to accept new names. The girls, sold as servants to the twenty-four Routen, and the boys, thrown into the Coliseum where every day was a fight for their life. Desperate to see his people freed, Narrock spent ten years trying to understand how his captures had harnessed the power of the elements. He knew the gifts from his world were not enough to return him home. He would have to become like his captures, and harness the power of the elements, if he hopes to have a chance of seeing Jhatar again.
