I 10 år har danskere hver uge sendt deres hemmeligheder helt anonymt afsted til Miriam Poulsen, og for at fejre jubilæet kommer 500 hemmeligheder nu for første gang i bogform. Den perfekte værtindegave, konfirmationsgave eller bare gave til dig selv, hvis du også har brug for at finde ud af, at du er helt som alle andre – eller at alle andre har værre vaner end dig selv. Der er både sjove, sørgelige, hjerteskærende og direkte ulækre hemmeligheder, indenfor alle livets aspekter såsom work-life balance, sex og dating, utroskab, kendisser, psykisk og fysisk velvære og familieliv.Bogen indeholder også hemmeligheder, som ikke er udgivet tidligere, og der vil derfor være noget for den trofaste fan af Hemmelighederne, og for nye læsere af konceptet.

”Hjernetumorfortællinger” indeholder 23 personlige fortællinger om mødet med hjernetumor. Livshistorierne er skrevet af både hjernetumorramte og pårørende. Det er unikt at få et indblik i begge sider. Der er også udtalelser fra fagpersoner bagerst i bogen. Antologien er til alle, der er ramt af eller er tæt på livstruende sygdom. Vi er både med på hospitalet og i hjemmet. Bogen rummer en samling af personlige historier om, hvordan det føles at miste en del af sig selv, og om at miste eller leve videre med ens nærmeste, der lever med en større eller mindre hjerneskade. De selvbiografiske beretninger i “Hjernetumorfortællinger” kan starte vigtige og svære samtaler. Sygeplejerske Elisabeth Rasmussen udtaler: “Jeg har læst Hjernetumorfortællinger med min sjæl og min personlighed, men også med de faglige briller. Jeg er blevet klogere på, hvordan jeg kan gøre en forskel, og sidder tilbage med en stor taknemmelighed. Historierne har radikalt ændret noget i mig.”Citater fra bogen: ”Jeg er helbredt, men ikke rask. Hjerneskadet og sanseforstærket.” Dagmar ”Jeg er taknemmelig for, at min dårlige hukommelse giver mig mulighed for at se alting med friske øjne igen.” Nivi ”Jeg kan sidde og iagttage ham, og bortset fra arret i panden og de ekstra ni år ligner han jo den mand, han var inden. Han lyder også som ham. Han kan lide at lave de samme ting, og han opfører sig næsten som inden. Men han er ikke den samme.” Anette

The Cosmic Dance is about the enigmatic phenomenon of electromagnetic waves swirling around a cauldron of fire and ice, if you will. We see this cauldron (container) as a relatively open universe filled with stars. We wouldn't think that light (electromagnetic particles and waves) is the essence of a self-contained entity capable of producing all the stars and everything with it. But if we look closer, then we realize that these biffs of light are the constituents of all physical things. But how is it even possible that a particle of light could be a candidate for all things great and small? Well, it has all the necessary parts to be a self-contained entity that persists throughout the universe at every scale. The universe is filled with stars for what we know, but at the scale of things, there is a world of emotions that is nothing but spectacular. Therefore, the universe can be described as a cauldron of fire and ice filled with emotions.

Ce livre n¿est pas un livre sur l¿antisémitisme comme les autres. Il ne s¿agit pas d¿un pur essai historique mais d¿un essai documenté et illustré, s¿appuyant sur de nombreux textes du domaine public : aussi bien des textes de justes comme Émile Zola (« J¿accuse » est ici dans son intégralité) ou Anatole France, que des textes antisémites comme ceux de Barrès ou de Maurras. Ces textes sont commentés et reliés par Yoann Laurent-Rouault, qui, en sa qualité de maître diplômé des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, a également illustré ces textes. L¿affaire Dreyfus occupe le coeur de cet ouvrage mais celui-ci, au fil des pages, remonte plus loin et étend aussi sa portée jusqüà la Seconde Guerre mondiale et même jusqüà nos jours. C¿est dans le fonds littéraire international Memoria Books que ces textes compilés, illustrés et reliés par un profond fil conducteur trouvent logiquement leur place. L¿auteur, Yoann Laurent-Rouault, braque le projecteur sur une vérité nue : celle de l¿antisémitisme et de l¿antijudaïsme français. Au travers de l¿affaire Dreyfus et du procès Zola, des guerres mondiales et des remous de la Ve République, et jusqüà nos jours, c¿est le plaidoyer des justes qui est ici mis à l¿honneur. La documentation associée au texte fait état de vérités «¿françaises¿» que beaucoup préféreraient continuer d¿ignorer. Comme la liste des camps d¿internement sous Vichy qui s¿étire sur 6 pages, la liste « Otto » et la liste « Bernhard » ou encore la compromission de la presse et de l¿édition au travers de grands noms de la littérature et de l¿intelligentsia française. Il nous interroge également sur le phénomène du révisionnisme, que dans notre pays on ne saurait voir en trois couleurs, au nom du « politiquement correct » et d¿une certaine idée de la France, comme pour servir un patriotisme cocardier, qui de tout temps a été générateur de crises et de conflits armés. Ici est faite la démonstration que la culture antisémite française qui s¿étire sur plusieurs siècles donnera naissance à un courant littéraire moderne et à une pensée raciste et ségrégationniste qui fut un temps homologuée par l¿académie et par l¿État. « L¿antisémitisme, dans les pays où il a une réelle importance, n¿est jamais que l¿arme d¿un parti politique ou le résultat d¿une situation économique grave, écrivait Zola. La phrase est pertinente, et ce que je constate aujourd¿hui, c¿est que pour une certaine France, si «¿le Juif¿» est coupable de tout, il est avant tout coupable d¿être juif.¿»
