Après le succès de Les Coquins et Les Petits (25.000 ex. chacun), une nouvelle pépite de Marion Fayolle, sur le sentiment amoureux.
Un homme et une femme qui réinventent leur histoire à l'aide d'un coucher de soleil en poster ou d'un jeu vidéo ; une simple partie d'autos-tamponneuses qui redéfinit les dynamiques d'un couple...
Une rencontre, tout le monde le sait, cela peut aller du désastre à l'enchantement. Quel est ce fil ténu de l'amour qui nous unit ou désunit selon les jours ? Marion Fayolle nous livre dans son nouveau recueil de dessins, toujours avec tendresse et humour, ce que lui inspire le sentiment amoureux, l'absurdité de nos désirs et la vie trépidante des Aimants.
Depuis plus de trente ans, Yann Arthus-Bertrand photographie les Français et ceux qui vivent en France, les invitant à revêtir leur tenue de travail ou du quotidien, en compagnie de ceux qu'ils aiment. En 2023, avec la complicité d'Hervé Le Bras, ce travail s'enrichit d'une dimension historique et démographique s'inspirant des recensements et des grandes enquêtes, donnant toute son ampleur à cette fresque photographique.

Photographe et cinéaste mondialement célèbre, son oeuvre mêle depuis plusieurs décennies les projets au long cours, le noir et blanc, la couleur, le film documentaire et la fiction. Sa passion pour la technique, ses interrogations permanentes sur l'éthique et l'esthétique, ou encore ses repères autobiographiques sont autant de marqueurs essentiels dans ce parcours jalonné régulièrement par le goût de l'écriture et l'envie de donner la parole.
Il est une conscience en marche. Un modèle à suivre. Un bouillonnement permanent.

Drawing from real-world transformation programs, this book offers a practical playbook to address these shifts - not with theory, but with actionable strategies, proven tools, and human-centric design. The new AI era demands more than technology; it demands a reimagined employee experience that fuels performance, personalizes learning, and strengthens coaching.

At birth you are completely your pure self. The ability you then have to let your essence shine through your outer form, gradually becomes overshadowed and buried under many layers as you become more and more influenced by your environment and distracted by many external things that demand your attention. This book encourages you to get back on track with your essence.
Through real-life illustrations, you will learn to recognise countless expressions of life energy in nature, in your body - which is part of nature - and in the cosmos. These signposts can serve to expand your consciousness, from what is clearly observable to more subtle life processes. Through being present with yourself and others from your essence, you invite transformation and healing and can experience the full potential of being human.
This exploration process begins with your feet on the ground. Treading a path of wonder, stillness and connection with who you are in the depth of your being, more direction and meaning gradually unfold. This book emphasises personal development, offering realistic starting points for fundamental social change and a worldview that embraces differences.
Organisations today face deep uncertainty and growing pressure to transform - from within and from the world around them.
Signs of disconnection are everywhere: between people and purpose, brand and behaviour, profit and planet. The Power of impact is intended for leaders who recognise that tension and want to act. Leaders who care about doing the right thing, making meaningful impact, and bringing coherence to what their organisation thinks, does and values.
This book presents two key frameworks: the Transformational Spiral®, guiding a participative journey, and the Coherence Compass®, which uncovers misalignments between purpose, behaviour, culture and space. It offers a practical, personal guide to reveal the invisible, reconnect what matters, and build organisations that are future-fit, inspiring, and truly worth believing in.

Antoine Compagnon, grande plume de la critique française, nous présente « Henri
Matisse, l'un des plus éminents noms de l'histoire de l'art », sous un jour nouveau.
Il nous partage sa fascination pour cet artiste dont les gouaches découpées, d'abord
perçues comme un signe de déclin, se sont imposées comme l'expression d'un style
audacieux et avant-gardiste. Mobilisant critiques, témoignages et les propres mots de
Matisse, Compagnon analyse une oeuvre et une vie qui, loin de se répéter, se sont sans
cesse réinventées.
« La conclusion d'un tableau, c'est un autre tableau » : telle est la leçon d'un peintre voué
à la quête infinie de l'art.
