Socrates' worldview is of a living cosmos with man only half-way up the hierarchy of all beings; above him reign suprahuman beings of great majesty and power - the visible gods. The moderns with whom Socrates converses disdain his ancient Greek cosmos as primitive and false.

Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.

Humans have been lucky enough to call dogs our best friends ever since one brave wolf dared sneak food scraps from a campfire more than 20,000 years ago - but we're not the only creatures to experience the joy of canine companionship.

They may be unusual pairings, but they are as deep, true and devoted as any human twosome.

Spring, 1593. A ballad is posted in the heart of London inciting violence. The Lord Mayor offers 100 crowns for the name of the author. Thomas Clarady wants that money and drags Francis Bacon into the game. At first it’s just a riddle to be solved. Tom talks to poets, while Francis analyzes the verse. Things take a dangerous turn when the authorities focus on two popular playmakers. One is cruelly tortured. Another is killed in dubious circumstances. Did he start a brawl that ended in tragedy? Or was he murdered by his dinner companions? The official story seems plausible, at first.

Ces chevaux ont marqué la vie de Bartabas, célèbre fondateur du théâtre Zingaro. Grâce à leur complicité naturelle, il est devenu un écuyer d'exception, réalisant des prouesses qu'aucun artiste n'avait accomplies avant lui.
