Philippe B., alias Aton, n'aurait jamais dû se trouver à la place qui fut si souvent la sienne durant ces quinze dernières années : en tête d'une colonne d'assaut du GIGN. Élevé à la dure, son aptitude aux arts martiaux l'amène très tôt aux frontières de l'ultra-violence et de la délinquance. Pourtant, depuis qu'il a suivi en direct à la télévision le célèbre assaut du GIGN sur un Airbus à Marignane, alors qu'il avait 16 ans, Philippe B. a pour nouvelle ambition d'intégrer le "Groupe".

Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player is the guidebook that navigates dreams and disappointments, failures and triumphs—a satirical mid-life-crisis handbook for everyone who has never quite fulfilled their fantasies, on the tennis court or anywhere else. This is the story of a man of a certain age who has never quite moved on from his youthful fantasies as he goes from sporting zero to sporting hero. And back again. Set against the backdrop of Wimbledon in 2013 when Andy Murray was the first British player to win the championship for decades, unsurprisingly, ‘Andy’ makes an appearance.

The third in the “Confessions” series, Les Conquêtes Normandes d'un Tennisman Vieillissant (The Norman Conquests of an Ageing Tennis Player) picks up where ‘The Courting Lives’ left off and tracks Andy’s inexorable rise to become the greatest GOAT: or ‘Greatest of All Time’ as they have it in contemporary tennis parlance, by challenging for the French Grand Slam at Roland Garros.

When two government agents asked Karen Levenson whether she knew any terrorists or was one herself, she couldn’t have been more astonished. Passionately and professionally engaged in the struggle to end Canada’s seal hunt, she considered her efforts to persuade chefs to boycott Canadian seafood, her deep-dive investigation of hunt economics, and her campaign to end animal suffering not only as far from terrorism as possible, but the mission she’d been called upon to do since she was a child.

His story is now legend. In 1994, after reading The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken, Ray Anderson felt a "spear in the chest."

Since then, Interface has cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 82 percent, and the goal is to reach a zero environmental footprint by 2020.

Confessions of a Horseshoer offers a close and personal look at the mind-set of a professional horseshoer (farrier) who also happens to be a college professor. The audiobook, an ironic and playful view of the many unusual animals (and people) Ron Tatum has encountered over thirty-seven years, is nicely balanced between straightforward presentation, self-effacing humor, and lightly seasoned wisdom. It captures the day-to-day life of a somewhat cantankerous old guy.
