Story0
Leopold's essays on conservation will open the mind of any listener who gives them a chance. The first part uses essays for each of the 12 months to share the rhythm of life on his restored Wisconsin farmland, and uses the stories to branch into eye opening lessons on the history of man's use and abuse of it. The second part continues using stories from Leopold's experiences in wild places across North America to expand the lessons to a much wider view. The final part of the work seeks to lay out a better path for humanity, using solid logic and deep philosophical questioning.

"Partout dans le monde, la question du genre est cruciale. Alors j'aimerais aujourd'hui que nous nous mettions à rêver à un monde différent et à le préparer. Un monde plus équitable. Un monde où les hommes et les femmes seront plus heureux et plus honnêtes envers eux-mêmes. Et voici le point de départ : nous devons élever nos filles autrement. Nous devons élever nos fils autrement." Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie aborde le sujet controversé du féminisme avec lucidité, éloquence et humour.

L'histoire de l'humanité, jusqu'à très récemment, a été une vaste entreprise d'archivage - une lutte contre la faillibilité de la mémoire humaine et les mâchoires oblitératrices de l'Histoire. Or, depuis quelques décennies, nous nous sommes dotés de technologies nous permettant de ne plus jamais oublier, voire de ne plus pouvoir oublier. Pourtant, notre mémoire collective semble de plus en plus dispersée, de moins en moins enracinée. Et si nous avions perdu quelque chose en route ?

The Cool Side of My Pillow is a collection of essays. Don’t let that fancy word fool you. I’m not trying to get highbrow or rant myself blue, but there are experiences and observations outside of the entertainment industry that I feel are worth sharing. What’s it about? Mostly, things that matter to me, like putting in the effort, being honest, and not treating the environment like it’s the enemy.
