Summary:
Peut-on restaurer la nature comme on restaure un monument? Dans un contexte d'urgence environnementale, surgissent ainsi des lieux hybrides: forêts reconstruites, écosystèmes reconstitués, zones « naturelles » protégées, alimentant le mythe d’une nature retrouvée. Du fait de cette double appartenance, ils témoignent, pour une conception étroite de l'écologie, d’un(...)

Peut-on restaurer la nature comme on restaure un monument? Dans un contexte d'urgence environnementale, surgissent ainsi des lieux hybrides: forêts reconstruites, écosystèmes reconstitués, zones « naturelles » protégées, alimentant le mythe d’une nature retrouvée. Du fait de cette double appartenance, ils témoignent, pour une conception étroite de l'écologie, d’un accroissement de la mainmise de la technique humaine sur l’environnement. Mais à ce mythe d'une nature intacte, le livre oppose un point de vue fondé non plus sur un absolu de nature, mais sur l'idée d'un soin responsable apporté par l'homme. S'impose alors le concept d'artefact naturel (comment définir un nid d'oiseau fabriqué par un humain, par exemple?), qui ouvre des perspectives inédites pour la philosophie de l'environnement.

Awasin, a Cree Indian boy, and Jamie, a Canadian orphan living with his uncle, the trapper Angus Macnair, are enchanted by the magic of the great Arctic wastes. When the boys have a chance to join a band of Chipeweyans on a trip to the remote Barrens, they jump at the opportunity.

When the boys have a chance to join a band of Chipeweyans on a trip to the remote Barrens, they jump at the opportunity. But when their canoe capsizes and they are separated from the group, it takes all their ingenuity to survive winter in the Barrens. Drawing on his knowledge of the ways of the wilderness and the implacable northern elements, Farley Mowat has created a memorable tale of daring and adventure.

Summary:
Energy humanities is a field of scholarship that, like medical humanities and digital humanities before it, overcomes traditional boundaries between the disciplines and between academic and applied research. Like its predecessors, energy humanities highlights the essential contribution that the insights and methods of the human sciences can make to areas of study and analysis once thought best left to the natural sciences. This isn't a case of the humanities simply helping their cross-campus colleagues to learn the mechanics of communication so that they might better articulate their ideas. Rather, these fields of scholarship are ones that demonstrate how the scale and complexity of the issues being explored demand insights and approaches that transcendold school disciplinary boundaries. "Energy humanities : a reader" offers a carefully curated selection of the best and most influential work in energy humanities that has appeared over the past decade. To stay true to the diverse work that makes up this emergent field, selections range from anthropology and geography to philosophy, history, and cultural studies to recent energy-focused interventions in art and literature. The three readers all agree that this is an important, ground-breaking collection of work.

Summary:
Les êtres vivants sont aujourd’hui soumis à un processus de domestication, d’exploitation et de manipulation sans précédent. Repousser les limites du vivant est devenu un enjeu majeur de nos sociétés. Ce projet d’actualiser et de déployer les virtualités des organismes biologiques s’inscrit dans une dynamique plus vaste et totalisante qui vise l’illimitation comme horizon global. À la démesure des ambitions affichées correspond fréquemment un manque de conception d’ensemble qui entraîne des conséquences pour le moins problématiques, voire néfastes. Une vision trop simpliste véhicule le plus souvent des approches et des modèles réducteurs favorisant la perpétuation d’un processus destructeur qui n’a plus raison d’être. Dans une démarche inter et transdisciplinaire, ce livre prend en compte les apports de scientifiques, d’artistes, d’historiens, de philosophes et d’économistes dans une volonté de clarifier les enjeux et les perspectives liés à la question du vivant et de sa complexité.

In "Extreme cities", Dawson offers an alarming portrait of the future of our cities, describing the efforts of Staten Island, New York, and Shishmareff, Alaska residents to relocate; Holland’s models for defending against the seas; and the development of New York City before and after Hurricane Sandy. Our best hope lies not with fortified sea walls, he argues. Rather, it(...)

Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world—and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices.

Summary:
Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world—and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made? A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, "The mushroom at the end of the world" follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction. By investigating one of the world's most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination into the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth.

Summary:
"Fuel" is an idiosyncratic, speculative dictionary of fuels, real and imagined, historical and futuristic, hopeless and utopian. Drawing on literature, film, and scientific treatises--most produced long before "climate change" was in circulation--"Fuel" argues for a distinction between energy (a system of power) and fuel (a substance, which can be thought of as "potentiality") as it endeavors to undo the dream that we can simply switch to renewables and all will be golden. From "Air" to "Zyklon B," entries in this unusual "dictionary" include Algae, Clathrates, Dilithium, Fleece, Goats, Theology, Whale Oil, and many, many more. The tone of the entries ranges as widely as the topics: from historical anecdotes (the Ford Fiesta "boozemobile") to eccentric readings of the classics of "energy lit" ( Germinal and Oil! ); from literary observations (a high octane Odyssey ?) to excursions into literary theory. The dictionary draws from an eccentric canon, including works by Jules Verne, George Eliot's Silas Marner , Paolo Bacigalupi's Windup Girl , and the Tom Cruise vehicle Oblivion , among others. A message from this ambitious project is that energy can be understood as a heterogeneous set of self-mystifying systems or machines that block access to thought as they fascinate us. Fuels emerge as more primal elements that the audience can grasp at various points along the way to consumption/combustion. This dictionary can help scramble our thinking about fuel--not in order to demonize energy and not in order to create a new hierarchy in which certain renewables take over from fossil fuels but instead to open up potential ways of interacting with real and imaginary substances, by wrenching them out of narrative and placing them into an idiosyncratic dictionary to be applied by readers into new narratives.
