A mostly forgotten episode of US history is brought to life in fascinating detail by historian and author Deborah deBilly dit Courville. Working from primary sources such as letters and household accounts, she has reconstructed the rhythm and rationale of daily life at the 18th century French immigrant colony along the Susquehanna River known as Azilum. Told through the fortunes and fates of one of the colony's founding families, the LaPortes, the novel explores the attitudes, desires and motivations of the French nobles who sought refuge in the New World: people who, much as we do today, struggled, loved, mourned and planned for their futures, all against the backdrop of the French Revolution and the politics and vast uncharted wilderness that was the fledgeling United States.

The Fire Starter Sessions is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms.   As the creator of DanielleLaPorte.com--deemed “the best place online for kick-ass spirituality,” Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have been read by over one million people. Bold but empathetic, she reframes popular self-help and success concepts:   : Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself. : Being well-rounded is over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone. : Screw your principles (they might be holding you back). : We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It's the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it's what leads to true fulfillment.

La période des rébellions de 1837-1838 est un moment charnière de l’histoire du Québec. Gilles Laporte, l’historien attitré des patriotes, en propose le premier aperçu complet. Il prend le temps d’asseoir les fondations d’un territoire et d’un peuple, le Bas-Canada du début du XIXe siècle, avant de présenter trente ans de luttes politiques. Les enjeux complexes, allant bien au-delà d’une simple lutte linguistique, prennent alors tout leur sens. Les soulèvements et les principales batailles sont ensuite clairement abordés. Une série de cartes et de portraits complètent cette remarquable synthèse.
