Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S’arracher de la surface de la Terre pour voir d’en haut ce qui s’y passe n’est plus un rêve. Des instruments sophistiqués portés par des satellites produisent des flux de données qui, insérées dans des processus complexes d’information, contribuent à la connaissance du « système Terre ». Cet ouvrage décrit l’aide précieuse que l’observation satellitaire peut nous apporter dans des domaines comme la gestion des milieux naturels, la prévention des risques ou l’action après les catastrophes. Après avoir proposé un panorama rétrospectif, il trace la construction des données depuis la conception de la mesure jusqu’à son interprétation pour une insertion dans des systèmes opérationnels. Des enquêtes sociologiques esquissent quelquesunes des difficultés qu’il faudrait surmonter pour un usage élargi des données satellites. À l’aide d’exemples concrets comme la cartographie d’urgence ou la veille sur l’eau, le lecteur comprend comment l’observation depuis l’espace offre des ressources cognitives pour habiter la Terre en en prenant soin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis quelques décennies, l’observation de la Terre depuis l’espace a profondément changé notre regard sur la planète et son environnement. Tout en fournissant une meilleure connaissance des différentes composantes du « système Terre » (globe solide, océans, atmosphère, glaces et terres émergées), l’observation spatiale permet aussi de suivre les changements globaux auxquels est soumise la planète sous l’effet des phénomènes naturels et des activités humaines. Les données collectées peuvent contribuer à alimenter des modèles de prévision mis au service de la société et des décideurs politiques, en vue d’une gestion adaptée de notre planète. Spécialiste des sciences de la planète, professeur invitée sur la chaire de Développement durable – Environnement, énergie et société au Collège de France pour l’année 2012-2013, Anny Cazenave est chercheur au Laboratoire d’études en géophysique et océanographie spatiales (LEGOS) et membre de l’Académie des sciences. Elle a participé aux 4e et 5e rapports du Groupe intergouvernemental d’experts sur l’évolution du climat (GIEC).

Download or read book Economic Integration and Development written by Mordechai Elihau Kreinin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intriguing and provocative results on the effects of the single European market and NAFTA make this short book worth a read, even if one is concerned only with how developing countries have been affected by regional trade agreements that do not include them. Peter J. Montiel, Journal of Regional Science This book is an excellent attempt to pin down the effects of regional economic integration on developing countries. . . it will prove to be a good guide for researchers and students of development economics working in the area of regional trading arrangements, and policymakers and governments which are in the process of exploring the possibilities of forming free trade areas. Pravakar Sahoo, Development Policy Review Students interested in either the methodological issues inherent in research on trade or on the economics of trading blocs in general would profit from the book. James J. Hentz, The European Journal of Development Research Questions related to the economics of regionalism became increasingly important beginning in the late 1980s, when regional groupings started to become very popular as a tool of commercial policy. The goal of this book is to address the question of whether or not regionalism in developed countries has truly benefited developing countries and to what degree regionalism among developing countries and between developed and developing countries will improve economic development prospects. Mordechai Kreinin and Michael Plummer consider the implications of the emerging global trend of economic regionalism for developing countries. The analysis focuses on the trade and investment effects of integration in developed countries on developing countries, as well as the ramifications of regional integration in the latter. After an extensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature pertinent to the economics of regionalism, the book considers the ex-post trade and direct-foreign-investment effects of the Single Market Program in Europe and NAFTA, followed by chapters on ASEAN and economic integration in Latin America, primarily MERCOSUR. The study suggests three salient conclusions. First, in designing preferential trading arrangements, developed countries should recognize and attempt to minimize the possible discriminating effect on developing countries. Second, the developing countries have an abiding interest in the success of WTO negotiations that would minimize the discrimination against them of regional groupings in Europe and North America. And third, any customs unions or free-trade areas among the developing countries themselves should be outward-looking if they are to enhance the welfare of developing countries. Economists and policy scholars, as well as readers interested in regionalism and economic development, will find this book a great resource.
Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Download or read book City of Man written by Michael Gerson and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An era has ended. The political expression that most galvanized evangelicals during the past quarter-century, the Religious Right, is fading. What's ahead is unclear. Millions of faith-based voters still exist, and they continue to care deeply about hot-button issues like abortion and gay marriage, but the shape of their future political engagement remains to be formed. Into this uncertainty, former White House insiders Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner seek to call evangelicals toward a new kind of political engagement -- a kind that is better both for the church and the country, a kind that cannot be co-opted by either political party, a kind that avoids the historic mistakes of both the Religious Left and the Religious Right. Incisive, bold, and marked equally by pragmatism and idealism, Gerson and Wehner's new book has the potential to chart a new political future not just for values voters, but for the nation as a whole.
