Book excerpt: Le réchauffement climatique, ses effets sur la planète et les débats politiques qu'il entraîne ont une conséquence positive : intéresser le plus grand nombre aux problématiques écologiques. Toutefois, "l'écologie de comptoir" véhicule nombre de fausses idées ! Cet ouvrage vous aide à y voir plus clair. Deux journalistes spécialisés passent au crible les idées les plus courantes sur les questions de climat, de biodiversité, d'énergie, de transports, d'agriculture, d'alimentation, d'économie, de géopolitique, de traitement des déchets et de consommation quotidienne. Leurs analyses, pertinentes et sans concession pour les écolo-sceptiques, donnent à réfléchir à ceux qui pensent que : - le changement climatique est un canular ; - les énergies renouvelables ne polluent pas ; - il reste encore du pétrole pour quarante ans ; - le bio c'est bon pour la santé ; - consommer du quinoa, ça aide les pays du Sud ; - la Chine sacrifie l'environnement à la croissance ; - les cactus absorbent les ondes. Lecteur averti ou néophyte, ce petit manuel stimulera votre esprit critique !
Download or read book 25 id es re ues sur l cologie d construire de toute urgence written by Valère Corréard and published by Marabout. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "2°C de plus, ce n’est pas la mer à boire ! » « L’électricité verte, ça n’existe pas. » « Si tu ne manges pas de viande, tu vas finir par tomber malade. » « Le climat change, c’est naturel ! » « L’écologie, c’est un truc de riches. » On a tous un jour ou l’autre entendu ces phrases, qui mettent en doute des réalités pourtant établies ou qui énoncent des contre-vérités. Comment trouver les arguments justes pour y répondre ? Ce manifeste, en prenant à bras le corps les grandes questions de l’écologie d’aujourd’hui, vous donne les clés pour mieux comprendre les enjeux environnementaux, et les mots pour répondre aux affirmations approximatives ou injustifiées. Chaque lieu commun est ainsi passé au crible d’un décryptage sans concession, souvent éclairé par la parole d’un expert. Grâce à ce livre, vous aurez les arguments pour déconstruire les discours les plus climatosceptiques, mais aussi les affirmations à l’emporte-pièce de vos interlocuteurs parfois mal informés.L’écologie est devenue une dictature du quotidien pour certains, d’autres ne voient que cette issue alors que pour ceux-là c’est le tiraillement. Où qu’on se situe elle est là, elle interroge, dérange, agresse, rayonne, sans plus jamais nous laisser tranquille. Alors on l’apprivoise dans nos mots et la parole s’en mêle à coup d’affirmations qui tranchent comme les meilleures punch line des agences de communication. Mais « en vrai » que faut-il penser de toutes ces « vérités » balancées à l’envie dans les débats à la télé ou la radio, sur Internet et désormais dans les dîners ou devant la machine à café ? Et si c’était vrai finalement ? Eclairages.

Download or read book Coviability of Social and Ecological Systems Reconnecting Mankind to the Biosphere in an Era of Global Change written by Olivier Barrière and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the principle of ‘sustainable development’ which is currently facing a growing environmental crisis. A new mode of thinking and positioning the ecological imperative is the major input of this volume. The prism of co-viability is not the economics of political agencies that carry the ideology of the dominant/conventional economic schools, but rather an opening of innovation perspectives through science. This volume, through its four parts, more than 40 chapters and a hundred authors, gives birth to a paradigm which crystallizes within a concept that will support in overcoming the ecological emergency deadlock.
Download or read book Ecosyst mes d affaires et PME written by JAOUEN Annabelle and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les écosystèmes d'affaires représentent des enjeux à la fois économiques et territoriaux. Plusieurs dimensions les caractérisent : une grande hétérogénéité des acteurs, un destin commun, un standard ou un savoir-faire utilisé par plusieurs entreprises, un ou plusieurs leaders dont le rôle est crucial pour l'écosystème, une vision partagée par les autres membres de l'écosystème d'affaires et des processus de coopétition. À partir d'études de cas, mais aussi de points de vue théoriques structurants, cet ouvrage propose un état des lieux des connaissances actuelles des écosystèmes d'affaires. Il examine plus particulièrement le rôle des PME dans ces coalitions. Comment les différencier des autres formes de réseaux ? Quel cadrage théorique utiliser pour bien appréhender les écosystèmes ? Quelles stratégies mettre en oeuvre ? Comment coordonner l'écosystème ?
Download or read book War Tourism written by Bertram M. Gordon and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As German troops entered Paris following their victory in June 1940, the American journalist William L. Shirer observed that they carried cameras and behaved as "naïve tourists." One of the first things Hitler did after his victory was to tour occupied Paris, where he was famously photographed in front of the Eiffel Tower. Focusing on tourism by German personnel, military and civil, and French civilians during the war, as well as war-related memory tourism since, War Tourism addresses the fundamental linkages between the two. As Bertram M. Gordon shows, Germans toured occupied France by the thousands in groups organized by their army and guided by suggestions in magazines such as Der Deutsche Wegleiter fr Paris [The German Guide for Paris]. Despite the hardships imposed by war and occupation, many French civilians continued to take holidays. Facilitated by the Popular Front legislation of 1936, this solidified the practice of workers' vacations, leading to a postwar surge in tourism. After the end of the war, the phenomenon of memory tourism transformed sites such as the Maginot Line fortresses. The influx of tourists with links either directly or indirectly to the war took hold and continues to play a significant economic role in Normandy and elsewhere. As France moved from wartime to a postwar era of reconciliation and European Union, memory tourism has held strong and exerts significant influence across the country.
Download or read book Miraculous Abundance written by Perrine Hervé-Gruyer and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Farmers like Charles and Perrine Hervé-Gruyer [are] beacons of light. Their work allows the rest of the world to see that there is another life, there is another way."—Eliot Coleman What began as a simple dream has turned into one of the world’s most radical, innovative experiments in small-scale farming—using the Bec Hellouin model for growing food, sequestering carbon, creating jobs, and increasing biodiversity without using fossil fuels When Charles and Perrine Hervé-Gruyer set out to create their farm in a historic Normandy village, they had no idea just how much their lives would change. Neither one had ever farmed before. Charles had been traveling the globe teaching students about ecology and indigenous cultures. Perrine had been an international lawyer in Japan. Their farm Bec Hellouin has since become an internationally celebrated model of innovation in ecological agriculture. Miraculous Abundance is the eloquent tale of the couple’s quest to build an agricultural model that can carry us into a post-carbon future. The authors dive deeper into the various farming methods across the globe that contributed towards the creation of the Bec Hellouin model, including: Permaculture and soil health principles Korean natural farming methods Managing a four-season farm Creating a productive agroecosystem that is resilient and durable Using no-dig methods for soil fertility Modelling an agrarian system that supports its community in totality; from craft, restaurants and shared work spaces to jobs, agritourism, energy and ecological biodiversity Perfect for aspiring and experienced farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders, Miraculous Abundance is a love letter to a future where ecological farming is at the centre of every community. "This book, more about philosophy than a how-to, describes how two inexperienced beginners succeeded in creating a gorgeous, productive, self-sustaining farm."—Marion Nestle
Download or read book The Caves of Qumran written by Marcello Fidanzio and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Qumran studies, the attention of scholars has largely been focused on the Dead Sea Scrolls, while archaeology has concentrated above all on the settlement. This volume presents the proceedings of an international conference (Lugano 2014) dedicated entirely to the caves of Qumran. The papers deal with both archaeological and textual issues, comparing the caves in the vicinity of Qumran between themselves and their contents with the other finds in the Dead Sea region. The relationships between the caves and the settlement of Qumran are re-examined and their connections with the regional context are investigated. The original inventory of the materials excavated from the caves by Roland de Vaux is published for the first time in appendix to the volume.
Download or read book Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development written by Corinne Gendron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that current economist theories do not take into account the socially constructed nature of the debate surrounding the environment and environmental policy. It examines whether proposed economic solutions to environmental policy are, in fact, viable in practice. The book demonstrates that social conflicts cause policy compromises, which shape the economic system of a post-industrial ecological society. The author offers an innovative socio-economic theory of environmental politics, which illuminates the transformation dynamics brought about by the ecological crisis. Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental politics, policy and governance.

Download or read book Process Engineering Renewal 3 written by Éric Schaer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process engineering emerged at the beginning of the 20th Century and has become an essential scientific discipline for the matter and energy processing industries. Its success is incontrovertible, with the exponential increase in techniques and innovations. Rapid advances in new technologies such as artificial intelligence, as well as current societal needs sustainable development, climate change, renewable energy, the environment are developments that must be taken into account in industrial renewal. Process Engineering Renewal 3 presents a prospective analysis that demonstrates the significant disruptions linked to sustainable development, global warming, etc. These constraints may trigger changes in the social regulation system, which in turn applies pressure on actors of process engineering to evolve and adapt to these developments.
Download or read book The Secret Life of Science written by Jeremy J. Baumberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing and provocative look at the current state of global science We take the advance of science as given. But how does science really work? Is it truly as healthy as we tend to think? How does the system itself shape what scientists do? The Secret Life of Science takes a clear-eyed and provocative look at the current state of global science, shedding light on a cutthroat and tightly tensioned enterprise that even scientists themselves often don't fully understand. The Secret Life of Science is a dispatch from the front lines of modern science. It paints a startling picture of a complex scientific ecosystem that has become the most competitive free-market environment on the planet. It reveals how big this ecosystem really is, what motivates its participants, and who reaps the rewards. Are there too few scientists in the world or too many? Are some fields expanding at the expense of others? What science is shared or published, and who determines what the public gets to hear about? What is the future of science? Answering these and other questions, this controversial book explains why globalization is not necessarily good for science, nor is the continued growth in the number of scientists. It portrays a scientific community engaged in a race for limited resources that determines whether careers are lost or won, whose research visions become the mainstream, and whose vested interests end up in control. The Secret Life of Science explains why this hypercompetitive environment is stifling the diversity of research and the resiliency of science itself, and why new ideas are needed to ensure that the scientific enterprise remains healthy and vibrant.
Download or read book Particle Theory written by Edward Bryant and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of many of Ed's best works, including two Nebula Award winning short stories. Because of Ed's financial needs, almost all the profits from this book go directly to Ed. Donations to help with Ed's medical and other financial needs are also most appreciated via www.FriendsOfEd.org. Thank you! "The stories in his collection Particle Theory showed me that science could be used metaphorically to illuminate human experience, and that the personal could reinforce the "big ideas" rather than compete with them. I discovered him when I was in college, at the same time I first started reading writers like William Gibson and Gene Wolfe and John Crowley. They all expanded my ideas of what SF could do, but the one whose influence on my work is clearest is Bryant." -Ted Chiang
Download or read book Tourism in Bali and the Challenge of Sustainable Development written by Sylvine Pickel-Chevalier and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers a cross-analysis of the development of tourism in Bali, combining international and intercultural (from Indonesian, French, Australian and English researchers), transdisciplinary and inter-generational research. It questions the capacity of tourism, to be a vector of sustainable development, by analyzing its various social, economic and environmental effects within Balinese society. As such, it represents not only a great research tool, but a fantastic teaching aid. Each chapter comes with its own bibliography, and thus acts as a standalone case study, while making a contribution to the overall thrust of the book.
