Une amie pour Dragon

Pilkey, Dav, 1966-,


Traduction de : A friend for Dragon. Dragon s'ennuie et aimerait bien avoir un ami, mais l'hippopotame est trop fatigué, l'écureuil trop occupé et le crocodile trop grognon. Tristounet, le dragonneau s'installe sous un arbre et une pomme lui tombe sur la tête. Pour lui faire une blague, un serpent dissimulé dans les hautes herbes fait parler la pomme, que Dragon ramène naïvement à la maison, où il peut apprécier les qualités de sa "copine", qui semble apprécier les mêmes choses que lui et qui sait écouter. Son nouveau silence finit toutefois par inquiéter Dragon, qui la conduit chez le médecin, où un morse la dévore jusqu'au trognon dès qu'il a le dos tourné. Affolé, le héros ramène son amie chez lui et finit par l'enterrer dans le jardin. Les saisons passent, apaisant lentement son chagrin, et, l'été revenu, Dragon se rassoit au pied de l'arbre quand soudain...

Whoosh : Lonnie Johnson's super-soaking stream of inventions

Barton, Chris,


Electronic reproduction. You know the Super Soaker. It's one of top twenty toys of all time. And it was invented entirely by accident. Trying to create a new cooling system for refrigerators and air conditioners, inventor Lonnie Johnson instead created the mechanics for the iconic toy. A love for rockets, robots, inventions, and a mind for creativity began early in Lonnie Johnson's life. Growing up in a house full of brothers and sisters, persistence and a passion for problem solving became the cornerstone for a career as an engineer and his work with NASA. But it is his invention of the Super Soaker water gun that has made his most memorable splash with kids and adults.

Atomic women : the untold stories of the scientists who helped create the nuclear bomb

Montillo, Roseanne,


A European beginning -- All that glitters -- A shy and quiet girl -- A life in learning -- Power couple -- In exile -- A secret project -- Bomb making in America -- Two of a kind -- The general and the scientist -- American life -- Recruiting -- Leona -- Coworkers -- The reactor -- Diz -- The professor and the apprentice -- Chicago pile 1 -- The Los Alamos visit -- Coming to America -- Trinity -- The end and the beginning. Recruited not only from labs and universities from across the United States but also from countries abroad, these scientists helped in -- and often initiated -- the development of the atomic bomb, taking starring roles in the Manhattan Project. In fact, their involvement was critical to its success, though many of them were not fully aware of the consequences. The atomic women include: Lise Meitner and Iraene Joliot-Curie (daughter of Marie Curie), who led the groundwork for the Manhattan Project from Europe; Elizabeth Rona, the foremost expert in plutonium, who gave rise to the "Fat Man" and "Little Boy," the bombs dropped over Japan; Leona Woods, Elizabeth Graves, and Joan Hinton, who were inspired by European scientific ideals but carved their own paths.

Sir John A. Macdonald : A Legacy of Controversy. January 2019


From the Curio channel: News in Review. Sir John A. Macdonald has become a controversial figure in modern times. Of course, he was Canada's first prime minister, responsible for bringing about Confederation and building a rail line across the country. But in this era of truth and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, his image has become a symbol of oppression to some. It was his policies that saw the starvation of the Prairies' Indigenous tribes, to force them on to reservations and assimilate them. And it was his government that brought in the residential school system. But is removing his statues and name from schools and buildings removing his legacy or dishonoring an historical figure?
