2021 Fall Titles Sneak Peek

Lithium: For a Successful Energy Transition
by Michel Jébrak & Christian Hocquard
An ambitious and essential essay that takes the form of a reference book while shedding light on a current global issue: energy supply. The exploitation of the precious lithium could have a major impact on the world’s energy balance and free us from fossil fuels. What gives lithium its electrical energy storage properties? Can it be used in an environmentally friendly way?

The Cat’s Enigma: Cognition and Communication
by François Y. Doré
This essay provides a wealth of know-ledge about the cat’s cognitive abilities and their associated functions such as communication and personality. An ethological document that brings together the most up-to-date scientific knowledge on the subject. Some myths associated with the cat, such as its invariable independence or its resistance to training are deconstructed.

Happy New Year 2021 from Éditions MultiMondes!

How about turning the page on 2020? We hope that the holidays and the coming year will bring you happiness, health and success! Stay safe and we are looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2020

Multimondes is sadly not going to participate in this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair. Our publishing houses have decided that we need to be cautious with COVID-19 still on the loose. How about you? What are you planning to do?

We missed meeting you in the Spring and with no Frankfurt Book Fair this year we would love to see you digitally. We use Zoom for video calls, but we could try other means too!

I invite you to book an appointment in October with me on my Calendly. I am committed to freeze my mornings for meetings during the first 3 weeks of October, in order to meet with all of you! If we are in the same time zone (or close enough) don’t hesitate to suggest meetings in the afternoon (eastern time).

Hoping to chat with you soon to tell you all about our new and intriguing titles!
