Summary:
Alors que plusieurs vivent une écoanxiété grandissante et placent, année après année, l’environnement au sommet de leurs priorités, le ministère de l’Environnement du Québec s’avère trop souvent impuissant à assumer son rôle de protecteur des écosystèmes et de contrôleur des activités polluantes.

La crise écologique que nous traversons se manifeste notamment par le dérèglement climatique, le déclin de la biodiversité et diverses formes de pollution et de dégradation des écosystèmes.

Summary:
La crise écologique que nous traversons se manifeste notamment par le dérèglement climatique, le déclin de la biodiversité et diverses formes de pollution et de dégradation des écosystèmes. Cette crise est de nature socioéconomique dans la mesure où ce sont les systèmes de gestion et d'aménagement du territoire qui en sont la cause. Pour parvenir à en atténuer les effets, nous proposons une économie écologique pour le Québec, soit une approche fondée sur une meilleure compréhension des systèmes sociaux, économiques et environnementaux et de leurs interactions. Nous cherchons à savoir comment orienter les politiques publiques et l'économie québécoise afin de respecter les limites de la biosphère, tout en assurant une qualité de vie pour tous. Cet ouvrage réunit des textes issus de recherches interdisciplinaires au croisement du développement économique et de l'atteinte d'objectifs écologiques et sociaux. Il offre des analyses et des réponses pour alimenter les débats politiques au Québec dans un contexte de crise écologique et d'urgence climatique. Il explore d'abord les piliers de la transition, puis l'application des mécanismes économiques et de gestion pour encourager la transition dans nos milieux de vie, et nous invite finalement à repenser nos structures, en offrant des questionnements critiques et théoriques qui remettent en question la transition basée seulement sur l'efficience technologique.

Summary:
This book considers the possibilities of organizing societies and economies around solar energy, and the challenges of a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. Far from presenting solarity as a utopian solution to the climate crisis, it critically examines the ambiguous potentials of solarities: plural, situated, and often contradictory.

Summary:
Mobility - the movements of people, things, and ideas, as well as their associated cultural meanings - has been a key factor in shaping Canadians' perceptions of and interactions with their country. Approaching the burgeoning field of environmental history in Canada through the lens of mobility reveals some of the distinctive ways in which Canadians have come to terms with the country's climate and landscape. Spanning Canada's diverse regions, throughout its history, from the closing of the age of sail to the contemporary era of just-on-time delivery, Moving Natures: Mobility and the Environment in Canadian History examines a wide range of topics, from the impact of seasonal climactic conditions on different transportation modes, to the environmental consequences of building mobility corridors and pathways, to the relationship between changing forms of mobility with tourism and other recreational activities. Contributors make use of traditional archival sources, as well as historical geographic information systems (HGIS), qualitative and quantitative analysis, and critical theory.

Summary:
Some thousands of years ago, the world was home to an immense variety of large mammals. From wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers to giant ground sloths and armadillos the size of automobiles, these spectacular creatures roamed freely. Then human beings arrived.

Summary:
Some thousands of years ago, the world was home to an immense variety of large mammals. From wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers to giant ground sloths and armadillos the size of automobiles, these spectacular creatures roamed freely. Then human beings arrived. Devouring their way down the food chain as they spread across the planet, they began a process of voracious extinction that has continued to the present. For Ashley Dawson, this is the product of a global attack on the commons, the great trove of air, water, plants and creatures, as well as collectively created cultural forms such as language, that have been regarded traditionally as the inheritance of humanity as a whole. This attack has its genesis in the need for capital to expand relentlessly into all spheres of life. Extinction, Dawson argues, cannot be understood in isolation from a critique of our economic system. To achieve this we need to transgress the boundaries between science, environmentalism and radical politics.

Summary:
The logistics of agricultural society resulted in global warming and hardwired dangerous ideas about life-forms into the human mind. Dark ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in the biosphere and our belonging to a species in a sense that is far less obvious than we like to think. Morton explores the logical foundations of the ecological crisis, which is suffused with the melancholy and negativity of coexistence yet evolving, as we explore its loop form, into something playful, anarchic, and comedic. His work is a skilled fusion of humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics. Morton hopes to reestablish our ties to nonhuman beings and to help us rediscover the playfulness and joy that can brighten the dark, strange loop we traverse.
