Summary:
Jamais le monde animal n’a été l’objet d’une si vive attention des scientifiques, des médias et du grand public. Jamais il n’y a eu autant d’animaux tués pour notre consommation et jamais le danger d’extinction d’une partie du monde animal n’a été aussi éminent à cause du réchauffement climatique, des pratiques de déforestation et autres formes d’emprises humaines et de(...)

Summary:
Jamais le monde animal n’a été l’objet d’une si vive attention des scientifiques, des médias et du grand public. Jamais il n’y a eu autant d’animaux tués pour notre consommation et jamais le danger d’extinction d’une partie du monde animal n’a été aussi éminent à cause du réchauffement climatique, des pratiques de déforestation et autres formes d’emprises humaines et de spoliations de la nature. Pourtant, il n’existait jusqu’ici aucun dictionnaire proposant une synthèse des connaissances dans le champ en pleine expansion des études animalières. Résultat de quatre ans de séminaire à la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, ce dictionnaire réunit 41 autrices et 39 auteurs, historiennes et historiens, historiennes de l’art, philosophes, juristes, anthropologues, vétérinaires, scientifiques qui font le point en 125 notices sur une dimension désormais vitale de notre survie dans l’anthropocène : de quels savoirs disposons-nous sur le monde animal pour envisager un futur avec lui? Comment concevoir un avenir avec tous les animaux, pour former, dans la multitude des approches du savoir, une communauté de vivants ensemble?

Summary:
The bee is not a domestic animal, yet our relationship with this creature is one of the longest-standing between humanity and any other species. Since the earliest times the unique manufacturing and architectural abilities of the bee and its remarkable social organization have been regarded as miraculous. Because of this ancient relationship, bees always carry profound cultural meanings which can tell us much about who we are. Bees are also the subject of an enormous body of legend throughout the temperate world; no less extraordinary is the natural history of the bee, and the ways in which its biological and social organization have been adapted and encouraged by mankind in search of honey. Claire Preston’s Bee follows the natural and cultural history of our relationship with the bee and the development of these legends, from ancient political descriptions of the bee to Renaissance debates about monarchy, and the accompanying scientific discoveries about insects, to the modern conversion of the virtuous, civil bee into the dangerous swarm of the Hollywood horror flick, and finally to the melancholy recognition that the scientific study of bee behavior gives us a warning to beware our own awful technologies of destruction.

The belief that all life-forms are interconnected and share the same breath—known in the Rarámuri tribe as iwígara—has resulted in a treasury of knowledge about the natural world, passed down for millennia by native cultures. Ethnobotanist Enrique Salmón builds on this concept of connection and highlights 80 plants revered by North America’s indigenous peoples. Salmón(...)
