Book excerpt: Que nous réserve l'avenir ? A une époque où la peur des catastrophes écologiques se répand, où l'on subit très concrètement une crise financière et économique que l'on n'a pas connue depuis 1929, chacun s'interroge. Pourquoi ne pas examiner ces questions à la lueur des sciences et des techniques qui sont les moteurs essentiels de l'Histoire ? Claude Allègre se livre à l'exercice, en évoquant les progrès scientifiques et technologiques qui verront le jour. Se refusant à être optimiste ou pessimiste, il montre que le génie créatif de l'homme et son dynamisme conquérant sont potentiellement capables de répondre aux défis. Bref que l'avenir dépend de nous...

This book was released on 2007 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pensée dite des " Lumières ", née au XVIIIe siècle, s'est illustrée par l'essor de la Révolution industrielle au XIXe siècle et par une remarquable capacité de création de richesses pendant une grande partie du XXe siècle. Or cet esprit de créativité et d'ouverture s'est endormi à la fin du XXe siècle et l'on constate aujourd'hui l'abandon de la curiosité du rapport au monde. C'est pourquoi ce livre invite à un " Réveil de l'Esprit des Lumières ", en faisant le pari de l'intelligence, indispensable pour la survie sociale et intellectuelle de notre pays dans un monde en mutation accélérée. Ce livre propose un projet de rénovation soulignant les enjeux majeurs, les grands défis à résoudre au cours du XXIe siècle, tant dans le domaine des technologies (environnement, information, transports, énergie, biotechnologies, espace) que scientifique (paradigme de la physique, origine de la vie, biologie intégrative, cerveau, climat) et socio-économique (démographie, économie). Au moment où la recherche et l'enseignement supérieur doivent se réformer pour faire face à ces défis incontournables, ce livre propose un certain nombre de pistes qui ouvrent de nouveaux horizons scientifiques aux applications technologiques prometteuses encore trop souvent insoupçonnées, à cause de blocages inhérents au fonctionnement actuel de notre société qui n'ont plus de raison d'être vu l'urgence des problèmes...

Download or read book Divided Natures written by Kerry H Whiteside and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Kerry Whiteside introduces the work of a range of French ecological theorists to an English-speaking audience. He shows how thinkers in France and in English-speaking countries have produced different strains of ecological thought and suggests that the work of French ecological theorists could lessen pervasive tensions in Anglophone ecology. Much of the theory written in English is shaped by the debate between anthropocentric ecologists, who contend that the value of our nonhuman surroundings derives from their role in fulfilling human interests, and ecocentric ecologists, who contend that the nonhuman world holds ultimate value in and of itself. This debate is almost nonexistent among French theorists, who tend to focus on the processes linking nature and human identity. Whiteside suggests that the insights of French theorists could help English-language theorists to extricate themselves from endless debates over the real center of nature's value. Among the French theorists discussed are Denis de Rougemont, Denis Duclos, René Dumont, Luc Ferry, André Gorz, Félix Guattari, Bruno Latour, Alain Lipietz, Edgar Morin, Serge Moscovici, and Michel Serres. The English-language theorists discussed include John Barry, Robyn Eckersley, Robert Goodin, Tim Hayward, Holmes Rolston III, and Paul Taylor.

Download or read book Demography: Analysis and Synthesis, Four Volume Set written by Graziella Caselli and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2006-01-03 with total page 2857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical method that fits the data and the situation requires insights that the authors and editors of Demography: Analysis and Synthesis have explored and developed. This extended examination of demographic tools not only seeks to explain the analytical tools themselves, but also the relationships between general population dynamics and their natural, economic, social, political, and cultural environments. Limiting themselves to human populations only, the authors and editors cover subjects that range from the core building blocks of population change--fertility, mortality, and migration--to the consequences of demographic changes in the biological and health fields, population theories and doctrines, observation systems, and the teaching of demography. The international perspectives brought to these subjects is vital for those who want an unbiased, rounded overview of these complex, multifaceted subjects. Topics to be covered: * Population Dynamics and the Relationship Between Population Growth and Structure * The Determinants of Fertility * The Determinants of Mortality * The Determinants of Migration * Historical and Geographical Determinants of Population * The Effects of Population on Health, Economics, Culture, and the Environment * Population Policies * Data Collection Methods and Teaching about Population Studies * All chapters share a common format * Each chapter features several cross-references to other chapters * Tables, charts, and other non-text features are widespread * Each chapter contains at least 30 bibliographic citations

This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the epistemological, ethical and methodological challenges faced by African scholars in their research practices. The epistemological domain addresses three interrelated topics: how African university students ethnocentric choice of research topics hampers the production of knowledge; researchers adaptation of their research methods to improve validity; and the challenge of knowledge production on community museums plagued by gross inertia, irregularities, uncooperative gatekeepers and inadequate funding. The methodological domain foregrounds issues around scientific rigour, the criteria for what counts as quality research, and reporting standards. Contributors contend that the use of mixed methods provides the best scope for the effective study and evaluation of social issues. They also detail how better-funded projects tend to improve the respect of ethical standards especially as they pertain to the protection of subjects confidentiality. Self-financed researchers on the other hand tend to be less compliant, a challenge that afflict especially younger and inexperienced researchers. This volume thus contributes not only to a critical understanding of the challenges faced by social scientists in contemporary Africa, but also the prospects and mechanisms on how to improve knowledge production processes.

Download or read book Counting Populations, Understanding Societies written by Véronique Petit and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core aim of this book is to determine how anthropology and demography can be used in conjunction in the field of population and development. The boundaries of demography are not as clearly defined or as stable as one might think, especially in view of the tension between a formal demography centered on the ‘core of procedures and references’ and a more open form of demography, generally referred to as Population Studies. Many rapprochements, missed opportunities and isolated attempts marked the disciplinary history of anthropology and demography, both disciplines being founded on distinct and highly differentiated traditions and practices. Moreover, the role and the place assigned to epistemology differ significantly in ethnology and demography. Yet, anthropology and demography provide complementary models and research instruments and this book shows that neither discipline can afford to overlook their respective contributions. Based on research conducted in West Africa over more than twenty years, it is a defense of field demography that makes case for a continuum ranging from the initial conception of fieldwork and research to its effective implementation and to data analysis. Changes in behaviors relating to fertility, poverty or migration cannot be interpreted without invoking the cultural factor at some stage. Representations in their collective and individual dimensions also fit into the extended explanatory space of demography.
