For a few years, the number of cyclists has grown considerably in big cities of the world. Many capitals and cities now have their own bike lanes and bike shops. Electric, roadsters, vintage, trail, fixed-gear, mountain bikes: there’s one for everybody. More than any other conveyance, riding a bike is above all a pleasure. Pleasure of going from one place to another, of having the most beautiful bike and the best accessories. In addition to its ecological aspect, riding also rhymes with freedom. Among the developments of bike-friendly cities these past few years, one phenomenon has emerged especially: the fixie of course, or the fixed-wheel. We all love its simple and clean design, its vintage look and urban style. Focused on the universe of city bikes, this beautiful illustrated book, made up of 4 chapters, tells about its story, its lifestyle aesthetic spread by this movement and its different experiences, in order to orient the reader towards the type of bike best suited for him. In addition, the book also offers a technical chapter to show you how to restore your own grandfather’s bike.

Jewish cuisine truly reflects the cultural melting pot that is the Jewish culture. Jewish cuisine can be from many places across the globe – from Northern Africa or Eastern Europe to North America - but it is always a matter of transmission. Gastronomy has evolved and changed from generation to generation. Jewish cuisine is neither quick nor easy, but it always generates a true moment of sharing, of giving, of family time. 150 recipes are included in this book, both traditional and modern, shared by famous Chefs or by the author’s family. And when you add to all the food details, all the important places, cooking times, Jewish holidays and table setting, you will end up with a complete spectrum of the greatness of Jewish cuisine.

We are all great consumers of sugar. It is so hard to resist delicious treats! But the excess of sugar causes a lot of health problems. That is why it is necessary to have a balanced and low-sugar alimentation. Follow pastry Chef Philippe Conticini for an extraordinary culinary journey! Apple pies, chocolate éclairs, almond and nut cakes: they all taste so good you would never believe they are sugar free. And yet, there isn’t one drop of sugar in these recipes; no sweetener, no stevia, no agave sugar... The sweetness comes from fruit or spices only. A challenge that Philippe Contincini rises up to with talent, with the collaboration of Anne-Sophie Chambon. A few examples: pineapple custard, chocolate cake, pear crumble, melon and mint yoghurt...

NEW
Format: 210 x 280 mm Page extent: 280 Binding: Hardback Retail price: 29,95 Euros Publication date: October 2015
A dictionary for lovers is a wandering journey. One chooses to enter by one path or another. The grand biblical panoramas, Genesis, Exodus, the Book of Judges or the Book of Kings will satisfy your curiosity. The Bible appeals to all interests, in the erotic poetry of the Song of Songs, the drama of Susannah pursued by old men, the tragedy mixed with sadism when Judith decapitates Holophernes after making love with him. It’s all there in the Bible! The beautiful illustrations will take the reader onto a journey back in time, where the fall of the Tower of Babel, the crossing of the Red Sea, or the tragic destiny of Job – upon whom God inexplicably heaps still more suffering – all find an echo in the human condition.

This book is about a world; it tells stories of a lifestyle now gone that lasted a little more than thirty years. Daniel Angeli is an elegant, shy and mysterious photographer. He takes pictures like others paint or write stories, and his heroes are queens and stars, billionaires, unleashed geniuses and daydream creatures, taken in their privacy. Stolen moments are part of Angeli’s work, showing that the shy photographer could be some kind of paparazzo, a hunter who almost always succeeded in taking the pictures of the ones he so relentlessly tracked. Come and discover exclusive pictures of Karajan and Chostakovitch, Picasso, Dali, Balthus, Prince Charles, Caroline of Monaco, Romy Schneider, Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon, Marlon Brando, Nicholson, Charlie Chaplin, John Lennon, Mick Jagger and many more…

Bordeaux Connection A breathtaking investigation in the heart of the wine mafia
Format: 140 x 225 mm Page extent: 304 Binding: Paperback Retail price: 17,95 Euros Publication date: April 2015
Bordeaux: the name is always very impressive on a wine bottle. But this influence goes beyond that, because a discreet and powerful group has taken possession of this economical gem. The “200 families” who own the 200 most important vineyards have increased the value to unimaginable levels. Bordeaux wines have become worldwide brands, sold at incredibly high prices. Even though it roughly costs 20 or 30 Euros to produce one bottle, the Pétrus, Lafite, Margaux, Yquem, Latour, are sold on the market 10 or 30 times this price! For the first time, Bordeaux connection will explore this system from within, from the local production secrets to the mysterious transactions in Asia. The Bordeaux families have succeeded the double exploit of increasing the value of their 2000’s wines, and to impose their rules in the imaginary of “Great Wines”. But the truth is about to be revealed: sham ratings, lack of regard on environmental issues, imposture at wine fairs... Now that the revolt is rumbling in the little vineyards and that wines from Argentina, California and New Zealand are considered better than them, what will become of the “Bordeaux connection”?

Tribute to kindness at work Give kindness a try - at work NEW
Format: 125 x 182 mm Page extent: 216 Binding: Paperback Retail price: 14,95 Euros Publication date: August 2015 What if tomorrow’s management was the one of kindness, one that brings back a little humanity in companies? Is a successful business necessarily one that puts pressure on its employees? There are many examples in the world of “mean” companies with a tough management that end up stumbling over this kind of policy. And many are the recent studies proving that one happy, blooming employee is more effective in his work. This tribute suggests giving it a try. Because contrary to our postmodern society’s beliefs, kindness is not a weakness, it’s a symptom of our grandeur.

By showing who was there and who was not, who was sitting next to whom and why, by explaining all the strategic goals and the behind-the-scenes’ stories, the historical adviser for the series - Cédric Gruat – along with Serge Viallet, put the well-known History under a new light, showing it as a brand new story.

I’M A nasty BITCH AT WORK and it’s working NEW
Aren’t you tired to let your colleagues walk all over you? It is time to impose yourself and show people what you are capable of! Regardless of what people are saying, your success in the ruthless business world doesn’t depend on your kindness but on your nastiness!
Enough already with positive thinking! “Positive thinking” is on everyone’s lips, all the time, everywhere. Enough already! What if we don’t want to see the glass half full? What if sometimes we just want to complain? What if negative thinking, anxiety, fear, had also some good sides?
SUPERWOMAN doesn’t exist!
Self-Help •
Yes, a woman can be career-focused and not a housewife. Yes, it’s difficult, not to say impossible, to be at your best day and night at work, while being available to help the kids with their homework, listening your stepmother and the neighbours, happy to bake a cake and be a passionate lover. No, a woman doesn’t only work so that she can buy the latest fashionable handbag.

1001 stereotypes which seem ridiculous, but which are not that far from reality. Women shouldn’t’ be treated as victims – they aren’t – but a self-help textbook to stand up for oneself cannot hurt! Tests, exercises and agendas with tips will help you find the way to self-confidence.

Parts of our body have always been the subject of salacious jokes. Man is just made that way. Nothing is more laughable than something sexual or gross (or both at the same time!) to inspire some dirty comments. The texticules (short texts) which make up this joyful book are the result of research, written in a delicate yet explosive style. When it comes to humour, bad taste always wins. So let’s go there – all the way!
