There are countless books on music with much analysis given to musicians, bands, eras and/or genres. But rarely does a book delve into what's going on inside us when we listen. Michel Faber explores two big questions: how we listen to music and why we listen to music. To answer these he considers biology, age, illness, the notion of 'cool', commerce, the dichotomy between 'good' and 'bad' taste and, through extensive interviews with musicians, unlocks some surprising answers.

For years, one group of Americans has worked as foot-soldiers for the most authoritarian regimes around the planet. In the process, they've not only entrenched dictatorships and spread kleptocratic networks, but they've secretly guided U.S. policy without the rest of America even being aware. And now, some of them have begun turning their sights on American democracy itself. These Americans are known as foreign lobbyists, and many of them spent years ushering dictatorships directly into the halls of Washington, all while laundering the reputations of the most heinous regimes in the process.

Over the last decade, scientists have discovered the importance and widespread presence in the body of a remarkable family of proteins known as prion proteins. Research links various types of prion proteins to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's—and this has fueled the search for new drugs that could halt the progression of these terrible disorders. Other discoveries have revealed the essential roles prion proteins play in memory and immunity, and the part they may have played in the beginnings of life on our planet.

Michel Onfray engage un nouveau grand cycle philosophique : une « Histoire philosophique de l'Occident ». En quatre volumes – chacun étant lisible indépendamment – il propose de reparcourir l'histoire de notre civilisation à travers le prisme de la guerre des idées. Dès l'antiquité, notre vision du monde a en effet été structurée par des antagonismes radicaux entre penseurs et écoles philosophiques : l'idéalisme platonicien contre le matérialisme de Démocrite, le mariage pythagoricien contre le libertinage cynique, la vie philosophique de Socrate contre la vie mercenaire des sophistes, etc.

Le témoignage bouleversant de Lydia Gouardo, séquestrée, violentée et violée par son beau-père pendant 28 ans. Six enfants sont nés de cette relation forcée, dans l'indifférence totale des voisins, des gendarmes, des services sociaux, de la justice et des médecins. « Pourtant, tout le monde savait ». Le calvaire de Lydia commence à l'âge de huit ans, lorsque Raymond Gouardo, son père non biologique mais légitime, commence à abuser d'elle quotidiennement. En plus de ces sévices, Lydia est régulièrement enfermée dans le grenier, parfois plusieurs mois de suite.

L'apparition et le développement des hérésies dès les premiers temps de l'Eglise Catholique la contraignirent, concile après concile, à mieux définir sa doctrine. Elle parvint à contenir l'hérésie jusqu'à l'an mil, date qui marque son grand réveil dans toute l'Europe. En Rhénanie et dans le midi de la France, entre Toulouse, Albi et Carcassonne se développèrent notamment des communautés hérétiques Cathares. L'église catholique ne put tolérer longtemps cette remise en question de son autorité spirituelle et temporelle.
