Résumé:
In our busy, noisy world, we may find ourselves longing for silence. But what is silence exactly? Is it the total absence of sound? Or is it the absence of the sound created by humans – the kind of deep stillness you might experience in a remote mountain landscape covered in snow, far away from the bustle of human life? When we listen closely, silence reveals a neglected(...)

Résumé:
In our busy, noisy world, we may find ourselves longing for silence. But what is silence exactly? Is it the total absence of sound? Or is it the absence of the sound created by humans – the kind of deep stillness you might experience in a remote mountain landscape covered in snow, far away from the bustle of human life? When we listen closely, silence reveals a neglected reality. Neither empty nor singular, silence is instead plentiful and multiple. In this book, eco-acoustic historian Jérôme Sueur allows us to discover a vast landscape of silences which trigger the full gamut of our emotions: anxiety, awe and peace. He takes us from vistas resplendent with full and rich natural silences to the everyday silence of predators as they stalk their prey. To explore silences in animal behaviour and ecology is to discover a counterpoint to the acoustic diversity of the natural world, throwing into sharp relief the grating reverberations of the human activity which threatens it. It is to attune ourselves to a world that our human insensitivities have closed off to us, to take a moment simply to breathe and listen to the place of silence in nature.

Qu'est-ce que le silence ? Est-ce vraiment l'absence de tout ? En écoutant bien, le silence n'est peut-être pas celui que l'on croit. Il n'est ni vide ni singulier, mais plein et pluriel. On découvre les grands silences, peut-être inquiétants, des vastes horizons, les silences naturels qui sonnent tout sauf creux, les silences quotidiens dans l'attaque des prédateurs, la(...)

On découvre les grands silences, peut-être inquiétants, des vastes horizons, les silences naturels qui sonnent tout sauf creux, les silences quotidiens dans l'attaque des prédateurs, la discrétion des proies ou les soupirs des enlacements. Aller chercher les silences dans l'évolution, le comportement animal et l'écologie, c'est aussi découvrir en contrepoint la diversité sonore étoilée du monde sauvage et dénoncer les bruits, ces horribles grincements de nos agitations, qui les menacent. Et si on respirait quelques instants pour écouter le silence et son histoire naturelle ?

It takes us from men in bowler hats with stout ropes nonchalantly crawling over crevasses, through the gilded age of grand hotels and sleigh rides, to the modernist concrete infrastructure of mountaintop restaurants and cable-car stations. These postcards frame the changing way we’ve experienced landscape and leisure over more than a hundred years – from the intrepid to the banal, sublime to ridiculous and brutalist to kitsch. And postcards travel through time as well as space, and they arrive with messages from our former selves. Underlying the Alpenkitsch is a serious exposé of our relationship to nature and how we have carelessly misused the beauties of the natural world.

Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion: that the world endured a 500-year cold snap -- The Little Ice Age -- that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850.

Résumé:
Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion: that the world endured a 500-year cold snap -- The Little Ice Age -- that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850. "The little ice age" tells the story of the turbulent, unpredictable and often very cold years of modern European history, how climate altered historical events, and what they mean in the context of today's global warming. With its basis in cutting-edge science, "The little ice age" offers a new perspective on familiar events. Renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan shows how the increasing cold affected Norse exploration; how changing sea temperatures caused English and Basque fishermen to follow vast shoals of cod all the way to the New World; how a generations-long subsistence crisis in France contributed to social disintegration and ultimately revolution; and how English efforts to improve farm productivity in the face of a deteriorating climate helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution and hence for global warming.

Through close readings of eco-minded novels, films, visual art, and short stories by Chicanx, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban American, Peruvian, and Central American culture makers, Vázquez surfaces diverse Latinx visions for an equitable and sustainable humanity. In the creations of Helena María Viramontes, Ester Hernández, Salvador Plascencia, the printmaking collective Dominican York Proyecto GRAFICA, and others, Vázquez locates a bracing critique of racist elisions and assumptions in hegemonic environmentalist thought.

When he went away to school, he met Lélia, who showed him how to use a camera. As he looked through the lens, Sebastião realized he could use photography to capture how the world fits together. Sebastião used his pictures to tell the stories of people who might not otherwise be seen. But after witnessing too much destruction, he put away his camera and returned to his childhood home. The land was in ruins. So Sebastião and Lélia decided to rebuild the rainforest and photograph the beauty of the world to save it. Through art and activism, they would show that everyone was responsible for caring for the planet and that hope endures if we take action.

Résumé:
In ''Challenging Social Inequality'', an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars and development workers explores the causes, consequences, and contemporary reactions to Brazil's sharply unequal agrarian structure. They focus on the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST)—Latin America's largest and most prominent social movement—and its ongoing efforts to confront historic patterns of inequality in the Brazilian countryside. Several essays provide essential historical background for understanding the MST. They examine Brazil's agrarian structure, state policies, and the formation of rural civil-society organizations. Other essays build on a frequently made distinction between the struggle for land and the struggle on the land. The first refers to the mobilization undertaken by landless peasants to demand government land redistribution. The struggle on the land takes place after the establishment of an official agricultural settlement. The main efforts during this phase are geared toward developing productive and meaningful rural communities. The last essays in the collection are wide-ranging analyses of the MST, which delve into the movement's relations with recent governments and its impact on other Brazilian social movements. In the conclusion, Miguel Carter appraises the future of agrarian reform in Brazil.

"Herbarium" is a fascinating enquiry into this unique field of plant biology, exploring how herbaria emerged and have changed over time, who promoted and contributed to them, and why they remain such an important source of data for their new role: understanding how the world’s flora is changing. Barbara Thiers, director of the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden, also explains how recent innovations that allow us to see things at both the molecular level and on a global scale can be applied to herbaria specimens, helping us address some of the most critical problems facing the world today.

Comme une contradiction dans les termes. « L’herbier de prison » de Rosa Luxemburg est une archive sans équivalent. Troublante et attachante, sa fragilité et son histoire en font un témoignage de résistance et d’évasion, une fabrique de formes et de joie, un document sur le sentiment politique de la nature, fondement de toute écologie. Composé de sept cahiers datés d’avril 1915 à octobre 1918, l’herbier a pu être réalisé par la révolutionnaire emprisonnée grâce à l’amitié sans faille de quelques femmes, ses amies intimes dont la féministe Clara Zetkin. Au-delà des quelques fleurs et mauvaises herbes de la cour de la prison que Rosa glane lorsqu’elle sort sous surveillance, ce sont ses proches qui lui envoyèrent par lettres des spécimens séchés ou des bouquets fleurs fraîches qu’elle-même pressait. Aux planches de l’herbier répondent ainsi tout une correspondance où il est question de botanique, de nature, de romantisme allemand, d’amour de toutes créatures, et cela, « en dépit de l’humanité ». Rosa Luxemburg ne cesse d’encourager ses proches à garder leur joie de vivre et leur gaieté alors que les nuages qu’elle entraperçoit par une fenêtre à barreaux se chargent des couleurs de la guerre et de l’acier.

Here, "landscape" refers to the earth alive with creatures and organisms, while "retreat" suggests human patterns are fluid and adaptable. Featuring field studies from Nijinomatsubara Forest (Japan), Maule River (Chile), Niugtaq Village (Alaska), Langtang Park (Nepal), and Gaspésie Peninsula (Québec), the stories emphasize that valuing landscapes fosters community resilience. Cutting across history, fieldwork, and geography, "Landscapes of retreat" rethinks "change" as a shared pathway toward adaptive, collaborative climate futures. Winner of the 2024 J.B.
