ROUSSEAU Elise
Mazaalai. Aux confins du silence, sur la piste de l'ours de Gobi
Paris, Albin Michel, 2024, 14 x 20,5, 225 pages sous couverture souple illustrée. ""Magnifique". Le Parisien Mazaalai : l'ours de Gobi, l'une des espèces les plus rares au monde. Sur la trace de cet animal en danger critique d'extinction, la naturaliste Elise Rousseau pénètre un épais mystère. A bord d'antiques minibus soviétiques, éprouvée par la rudesse des campements, en butte aux attaques de parasites affamés, elle est saisie par la beauté des paysages désertiques de la Mongolie, biotope de la panthère des neiges, de ses ultimes oasis et de son étonnant cortège d'oiseaux - syrrhapte au plumage doré, chouette chevêche, fauvette secrète, pie-grièche mimétique... Et, de piège photo en affût, comme Nicolas Bouvier ou Jacques Lacarrière en leur temps, elle sonde chemin faisant ce que sont le temps, l'amitié, le deuil, la liberté, le silence. L'ours de Gobi se montrera-t-il ? Un récit initiatique qui bouleversera à jamais votre vision du monde. "

Scott, D.L.
Modern Hospital Hypnosis - Especially for Anaesthetists
203 pages including index and several black and white photographic plates. Gives an up-to-date approach to an ancient art, in which hypnosis is regarded as a potent and multi-faceted tool which can be used to modify patient-reactions resulting from surgery and complex treatments, such as coronary care and renal dialysis. Obstetrics and dentistry excepted, its use to replace normal anaesthetic methods is nearly obsolete today. The hospital doctor who realizes the reciprocal effects of severe illness on his patient's psyche yet deprecates the routine use of tranquilizers, will find this book invaluable. Book in excellent condition; clean, lightly worn and unmarked. Dust jacket bears a variety of smallish tears at edges and has chips missing. Book
