Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Amazon Best of the Month, July 2008: How could no one have written this book before? These days we spend almost as much time driving as we do eating (in fact, we do a lot of our eating while driving), but l can't remember the last time l saw a book on all the time we spend stuck in our cars. lt's a topic of nearly universal interest, though: everybody has a strategy for beating the traffic.

No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies»rank: 4301par: Naomi Klein
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Toronto Star columnist Naomi Klein's No Logo, published at the very end of 1999, caught the imagination of the next millennium's first generation of activists, becoming the bible for the international anti-globalization movement. Documenting the ubiquity of brand identities and the harsh labour practices and self-censorship that the megabrands enforce, No Logo is both an encyclopedic expose of the many-tentacled modern corporation and a recipe book for resistance. From :We live in an era where image is nearly everything, where the proliferation of brand-name culture has ... |

Fat Girl»rank: 1121par: Judith Moore

'l won't. l will not endear myself. l won't put on airs. l am not that pleasant. The older l ... |

Siblings Without Rivalry»rank: 1279par: Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish
Chroniques et points de vue:From :With a title like this, it's no surprise that authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish had a monster bestseller on their hands when the book first appeared in 1988. From the subsequent deluge of readers' stories, questions, and issues, they have created nearly 50 pages of new material for this, the 10th anniversary edition. The central message remains the same, and sounds almost too simple: avoid comparisons. But parents know that's easier said than done. The value of Faber and Mazlish's discussions is precisely that they talk ... |

An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth»rank: 17606par: Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Gandhi's nonviolent struggles in South Africa and lndia had already brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation, and controversy that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. Although accepting of his status as a great innovator in the struggle against racism, violence, and, just then, colonialism, Gandhi feared that enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding. He says that he was after truth rooted in devotion to God and attributed ... |
