"L’Assiette végétarienne” is La Plage's most recent publication. Valérie Cupillard is a fan of the "assiette composée" (mixing and matching ingredients to create a vegetarian platter with a difference). She aims to help people make the transition to vegetarianism, not by offering replacements for meat, but by giving them totally new ideas for creating healthy, balanced meals. This is truly wholefood cuisine made with seasonal ingredients.

Cupillard, who is a qualified dietician and has a diploma in Feng Shui, lives and works near Aix-en-Provence and her cooking has a distinctly Provençal flavour. While her recipes are not completely vegan, she does give pride of place to non-dairy milks and other alternatives to dairy produce.

From haptonomy to cooperative games, from antenatal song to nonviolent techniques to resolve the conflicts, Dumonteil-Kremer gives tracks to help the parents to make educational choices which are coherent and respectful of the child.
Kremer leans on specialists' articles but also and especially on parents who are "experts" in their domain and who had the generosity to share their know-how : portage of the baby, fabrication of nappeas, co-sleaping, alternatives pedagogy…
She approaches the small activities of the daily (those that make the magnificent recollections) as the big turnovers (separation, mourning…) to help us to acquire what Michel Odent calls the art of the good " Parenting ".

The United Nations has declared 2001-2010 the decade of Non-violence for the Children of the World. We no longer have the right to hit prisoners, soldiers or women, as was habitually the case not so very long ago. Perhaps the next logical step is to call into question the corporal punishment of children.
In his most recent book, Olivier Maurel explains corporal punishment, its history and its “geography”. He tells us where in the world it is practised and where it is forbidden. He explains the consequences of slapping or spanking children and tells us how we can bring them up without resorting to violence.
“A remarkable little book … that should be given to all young parents as a matter of urgency.” Christine Legrand (La Croix).

To answer the question «Should we trust Greenpeace?» the authors come up again to the reproaches usually made with the ecologist organization : lack of transparency and democracy, media manipulation, doubtful financing, inefficiency... and try, point by point, to see what it is today. The book is based on the examination of the internal structures of the organization, its methods of action, recruitment, financing... on a study of the communication of Greenpeace, on discussions with persons in charge, on the image given by the media.
The conclusions are mitigated : the positive results on the environment cannot be denied but they are sometimes obtained by methods whose authors denounce the perverse effects.
