Summary:
Advancing a methodology that is rooted in good theory and practice, this book features case studies conducted in the Arctic and Africa, in Canada and Kathmandu, and in the Peruvian Amazon, Chesapeake Bay, and Chennai, India. Applying a systems approach to concrete environmental issues, this volume is geared toward scientists, engineers, and sustainable development scholars and practitioners who are attuned to the ideas of the Resilience Alliance-an international group of scientists who take a more holistic view of ecology and environmental problem-solving. Chapters cover the origins and rebirth of the ecosystem approach in ecology; the bridging of science and values; the challenge of governance in complex systems; systemic and participatory approaches to management; and the place for cultural diversity in the quest for global sustainability.

Summary:
En Amérique du Nord et en Europe, le renouvellement des pratiques d'aménagement du territoire et d'urbanisme s'impose comme une question centrale des études urbaines et régionales depuis plus d'une décennie. Ce questionnement s'articule autour de trois axes: la planification territoriale, le débat public et le développement durable. À partir de recherches inédites portant sur des expériences concrètes menées au Québec et en France, cet ouvrage propose un regard nouveau sur les retombées et les effets du débat public sur la planification territoriale, l'aménagement du territoire et l'urbanisme. Il fait ainsi le bilan des implications du double impératif de la participation des citoyens et de la prise en compte du concept de développement durable, et offre des réponses à des questions cruciales pour l'avenir des pratiques d'aménagement du territoire et d'urbanisme en contexte urbain et métropolitain.

De A, comme Abaton, à Z, comme Zuy, voici qu'un dictionnaire nous offre la plus merveilleuse des invitation au voyage. A partir des univers que de tous temps se plurent à inventer les ecrivains du monde entier, Alberto Manguel et Gianni Guadalupi, forts de leur conviction que la fiction est réalité, ont recensé lieux imaginaires et sites chimériques. Ils en rappellent la situation géographique, la topographie, le climat, la faune et la flore, les formes de gouvernement, les transports et moyens de communication, les moeurs et les coutumes locales, les curiosités touristiques ou les spécialités locales... Rien n'étant inventé, on pourra vérifier dans les textes cités l'exactitude de toutes ces informations, qu'enrichissent par ailleurs " les indispensables " du genre : cartes, plans, dessins, assortis de conseils pratiques, si utiles au voyageur... Recensés avec une extrême rigueur mais loin de tout souci d'exhaustivité, les auteurs et les ouvrages cités ont été choisis selon la seule règle du plaisir. Chaque article de ce dictionnaire, s'il invite à un voyage passionnant à travers l'un ou l'autre des lieux imaginaires, est également prétexte à découvrir - ou à redécouvrir - comme autant d'îles au trésor, des oeuvres illustres ou plus secrètes. Aussi, comment ne pas engager le lecteur a suivre sans délai cette recommandation d'Italo Calvino : " Dans la Bibliothèque du Superflu dont j'aimerais qu'elle trouve toujours une place sur nos étagères, ce Dictionnaire des lieux imaginaires est, sans l'ombre d'un doute, un ouvrage dont la consultation est indispensable " ? --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

Dès décembre 1918, les appartements des immeubles de rapport et les hôtels particuliers sont divisés en parties individuelles et en parties communes. Retraçant les utopies qui donnèrent naissance aux différents types de logements collectifs, s'appuyant sur de nombreux textes législatifs mais aussi sur des témoignages d'habitants, Katerina Azarova nous plonge dans l'univers labyrinthique et exacerbé de la vie communautaire. Illustré d'une centaine de photographies, son livre nous donne des clés pour comprendre la société soviétique d'hier et celle des Russes d'aujourd'hui.

Summary:
Sustainability at the Cutting Edge is an essential guide to understanding the future direction of sustainable technology. This fully updated new edition deals not only with current best practice and state of the art case studies, but with the very latest emerging technologies which will transform the relationship between buildings and energy. Professor Smith describes how buildings can be made to significantly reduce their reliance on fossil-based energy by the use of solar and geothermal resources. He also describes a range of renewable energy generating technologies. As sustainable building becomes increasingly essential with the advance of climate change, government legislation and international treaties, this is valuable knowledge for every architect, engineer and designer.

Summary:
The city is winched along tracks through a devastated land full of hostile tribes. Rails must be freshly laid ahead of the city and carefully removed in its wake. Rivers and mountains present nearly insurmountable challenges to the ingenuity of the city’s engineers. But if the city does not move, it will fall farther and farther behind the “optimum” into the crushing gravitational field that has transformed life on Earth. The only alternative to progress is death. The secret directorate that governs the city makes sure that its inhabitants know nothing of this. Raised in common in crèches, nurtured on synthetic food, prevented above all from venturing outside the closed circuit of the city, they are carefully sheltered from the dire necessities that have come to define human existence. And yet the city is in crisis. The people are growing restive, the population is dwindling, and the rulers know that, for all their efforts, slowly but surely the city is slipping ever farther behind the optimum. Helward Mann is a member of the city’s elite. Better than anyone, he knows how tenuous is the city’s continued existence. But the world—he is about to discover—is infinitely stranger than the strange world he believes he knows so well.
