Cinema 46
Cinema 46 is a collection of short stories with different themes, all of interest to current readers, as they address universal issues.

In addition to harshly criticizing the decadence of current culture, Paul Costa Gavin addresses in depth the problem of the meaning of human life, and this appears in all the stories in this book. The relationship between feeling and thought, the deep analysis of what it means to be human, and the always relevant question of the destiny of humanity permeate this entire book of short stories entitled Cinema 46.

Poems For Cecilia / Poemas Para Cecilia
Dr. Byron Marshall Hyde was a family doctor in Ottawa, a researcher and world-renowned specialist of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) originally and falsely called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In 1988, he founded the Nightingale Research Foundation to explore and understand ME and fibromyalgia-type illnesses. Dr. Hyde intertwined qualities of compassion, kindness, loyalty and sensitivity. He always took the necessary time with his patients to find out exactly what they were suffering from. He had a very generous sense of welcome and an astounding memory for people and events with surprising accuracy and detail, which made him a great scientist, doctor and a prolific and unique author of short stories and poetry.
Byron Hyde was a true Renaissance man, with wide interests beyond medicine: visual arts, short stories, poetry, horticulture. Dr. Hyde’s medical books are signed as Byron Hyde, his stories and poetry as Byron Stratford Davis. He passed away on November 17, 2024, at the age of 88, survived by his beloved wife Lone, his children Christophe, Christian, Dominique, Martin, and his grandchildren, Alessandra, Augustin, Cléo, Felix, Isabelle, Lucas, Noé, Octave, Sébastien and Zéphyr.
The posthumous release of Poems for Cecilia pays homage to the marvellous writing and important medical research of Dr. Hyde.

Nature’s Resilience
Nature’s Resilience is about how resilience manifests itself in the natural world, and how such biological resilience may help us understand our own human resilience.
The ways that biological organisms survive and thrive within a changing world can tell us a lot about ourselves, our behaviours and our approach to problem-solving. We may not be able to learn directly from the pine tree, the bear or the octopus, but they can reveal activities, behaviours, even chemicals or genes, that can benefit our world. What is more, animals and plants have been at the resiliency game for much longer than people and many have thrived through tumultuous, evolutionary times.
The biological world can provide examples of how nature has solved challenges, and we should be humble enough to take note and reflect. The solutions can indeed have relevance for our complex and sophisticated range of human activities such as healthcare and wellbeing, including the sources of valuable drugs that can alleviate human ailments; physical security and national deterrence; crisis management and business continuity; organisational agility and corporate networking.
By focusing on ten profiles of specific plants and animals, this book provides a unique window on our understanding of resilience in a broader context and by so doing provides pointers as to how we might improve and save ourselves from worsening the imbalance between the natural world and the human one.
