  "Nous partons en direction de la forêt des Colettes, au sud du département de l'Allier et à proximité du département du Puy de Dôme. En compagnie de Lionel Desbordes, entomologiste à la Société d'Histoire Naturelle Alcide d'Orbigny, nous allons découvrir quelques coléoptères qui adorent les sols forestiers. Nous verrons que ces insectes jouent un rôle essentiel dans l'écosystème des forêts. Du carabe doré, à la Rosalie des Alpes en passant par le Lucane Cerf Volant, vous n'avez pas fini d'être étonnés par la biologie de ces "petites" bêtes."

Radioscopie du progressisme

Emmanuel Macron avait beaucoup fait rêver sur le progressisme. Aujourd’hui, il est en perte de vitesse impressionnante comme le montre les élections européennes législatives. Mais au fond, qu’est-ce que l’idéologie progressiste ? La réponse se trouve dans « Le dictionnaire du progressisme », Éditions du Cerf, réalisé sous la direction de Christophe Boutin, Frédéric Rouvillois, Olivier…

More than a decade ago, when we published ''The Experts Speak,'' Christopher Cerf and I did not claim that the experts were always wrong in predicting the future. It was just that in our work we had never uncovered any accurate predictions. However, our critics have argued persuasively (we are nothing if not humble) that some prognosticators are right as much as half the time. Hence our conclusion: Prediction is at best an unpredictable business.

Muppet Fact #215

The Children's Television Workshop was sued for $5.5 Million by Northern Songs over the song "Letter B," stating that it resembled The Beatles' song "Let It Be" too closely. However, after Michael Jackson purchased the rights to The Beatles' catalog, the suit was dropped. The Children's Television Workshop still had to pay a $50 fine, which was paid out of pocket by Chris Cerf, the writer of "Letter B." Cerf also said at a book signing that Paul McCartney actually liked the song "Letter B," and was not involved in the lawsuit.
