This is another publication that will be of interest to people on the two sides of the atlantic and the topic is clear enough. French by heart, an american family's adventure in la belle france.

A friend once asked me whether you can teach a 22 years old student how to be a good lawyer, a good teacher or a good business person. I replied that at the age of 22, a person needs to be inspired and  work in a business environment that he or she likes. And the person replied me that you cannot teach a person of 22 years how to be a good teacher because experience is the most important thing, that it is a waste of time but you can only teach that person how to do research. What is the relationship of all these with this book I am presenting and the topic of the book says it all:

 The factory for unhappy people by delves (p) is about why people study for an mba, what is management and whether you can be trained to be a leader.

We all know the Paris book fair, the fête de lire and the poetry gathering at the Place St. Sulpice. For the past three years the literary festival that takes place in the heart of the 5th arrondissement(close to shakespeare & company) every month of June is now one of the most important literary events in Paris.The current session is between the 12th and the 15th of June.

 The confidences of a vice president

Write it when I'm Gone: Remarkabe off the record  conversations with Gerard Ford by Defrank Thomas is a valuable material for historians. At least those without access to US records because, the author is a Newsweek reporter who was told that President Nixon will be forced out of office by the vice president  and asked him not to publish the story. This off the record  declaration marked the beginning of a close relationship between the president and the report, thus making this book a gift to historians.

The cult of the amateur: how today's internet is killing our culture

First I will enjoin your to point your browser to www.amazon.com and put the above title in the search box. By the time your status bar reads done, read the review relevant to the publication of Andrew keen. I am not one of those people that will say the internet will phase out newspapers but we are moving to a situation when media owners, advertisers, advertising agencies, pr people and users will give equal attention to the merits of print and online publication.

As part of the literary activities lined up for this month, the Georges Pompidou centre will be holding a conference that will feature french and international writers on the theme of Writing and why I write. 

The historiography of the work of the eu commission is fast growing and the work of Jan Eppin titled "The life of a european mandarin, inside the commission will be of great value to historians and observers.

The status of the center of georges pompidou as a global cultural center has been affirmed since its creation with the aid of prestigious exibitions. Not long ago, it hosted an exbibition on the publishing company, Plon and this year, it's the story of the publisher of De Gaulle by Jean Lacouture, or so to say, Seuil that is on display on the first floor of the cultural center. The exhibition runs till the end of next month.
