Summary:
Surrounded by unyielding waters, islands have long served as ideal sites of banishment: places where those deemed unfit to exist within the political order, are cast away. Today, at the edges of democracy, and as obedience increasingly becomes an imperative for public presence, the specter of exile islands resurfaces. The entry point for this book is a research trip to Gyaros, an island scarred by memories of displacement and persecution — memories today at risk of erasure and privatization. Islands of Exile weaves together stories of exiled mothers, dogs, dissidents, and psychiatric patients in the Aegean Sea, narrating how humans can carve out spaces of hope and persistence.

Summary:
While the largest parts of icebergs — or islands — remain beneath the sea surface, often unmapped and perilous, a myriad of creatures and non-organic matter connect them to other lands. Nowadays, in the era of the climate crisis, what is hidden in the depths of the sea exponentially manifests the impact of anthropogenic activity on the planet. Plastic waste and pollution,(...)

Summary:
While the largest parts of icebergs — or islands — remain beneath the sea surface, often unmapped and perilous, a myriad of creatures and non-organic matter connect them to other lands. Nowadays, in the era of the climate crisis, what is hidden in the depths of the sea exponentially manifests the impact of anthropogenic activity on the planet. Plastic waste and pollution, deep sea mining, and undersea network infrastructures affect marine biodiversity and life on Earth at large. Mediterranean Icebergs sheds light on forms of agency, be it human, more-than-human, or machinic, that operate in marine environments, paying attention to their entanglements, encounters, and asymmetries. Addressing the interconnectedness of environmental, political, and legal issues, this book takes the Mediterranean as a starting point to discuss what is at stake for all lives depending on the planet’s seas and oceans.

Summary:
Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage(...)

Summary:
Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic.? In ''Thirty-Two Words for Field'', Manchán explores how Gaelic, a three-thousand-year-old lexicon, has imbued the natural world with meaning and magic, evoking a time-honored way of life, from its thirty-two separate words for a field to terms like bróis (whiskey for a horseman at a wedding), iarmhaireacht (the loneliness you feel when you are the only person awake at dawn), and bladhmann (steam rising from a fermented haystack or idle boasting).? Manchán urges readers to consider the sublime beauty and profound oddness of this ancient tongue that has been spoken in close connection to the land for thousands of years. Told through stories collected from his own life and travels, ''Thirty-Two Words for Field'' is an enthralling celebration of Irish words and a testament to the indelible relationship between landscape, culture, and language.

Summary:
Dans ce dialogue philosophique et géographique, Augustin Berque et Damien Deville nous invitent à reposer les pieds sur Terre en considérant autrement les territoires dans lesquels nous vivons. Car une géographie fondée sur des cartes froides, par trop quantitatives et qui séparent les individus de leur « environnement », entretient une opposition qui n’a pas lieu d’être.(...)

Car une géographie fondée sur des cartes froides, par trop quantitatives et qui séparent les individus de leur « environnement », entretient une opposition qui n’a pas lieu d’être. « L’être se crée en créant son milieu. » Rendre compte de cette réciprocité et des liens qui rattachent chaque lieu à celles et ceux qui s’y épanouissent, en utilisant d’autres noms et d’autres représentations, c’est se donner les moyens de veiller sur l’ensemble des milieux terrestres. Du Japon à la France, les deux grands géographes mobilisent les paysages qu’ils ont parcourus et étudiés pour que nous puissions à notre tour porter un regard éclairé sur le monde.
