    "Lors de la conception, les parents étaient tous deux bien portants et vivaient en parfait accord (ni chagrins, ni ennuis)."

  19. NEW PUBLICATION: First nations knowledge on health

    The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges; the eighth book in the series, by Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley and edited by Margo Ngawa Neale, focuses on health. First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture shows once again how much we can learn from the deeper past about defining and preserving health, the crucial role played by the community, and how both require an environmental approach.

    en-attendant-nadeau.fr/2020/05
    « Après la défaite de l’Armée Blanche, un nouveau péril blanc menace la Russie : le pou du typhus, combattu par les soldats de l’Armée Rouge en se lavant et nettoyant leurs affaires vigoureusement » (1921)
    « Le pou du typhus serre la main à la mort » (1919)

    (on note que le pou est moins blanc quand on n'en a pas besoin pour le slogan.)
