Book Synopsis Tanzania's Land Rush by : Joanny Bélair
Download or read book Tanzania's Land Rush written by Joanny Bélair and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the global financial crisis of 2008, a new trend in foreign direct investments (FDI) emerged: investors' rising interest in farmland in developing nations. This 'land rush' was a marker of increased land commodification and agricultural financialization, but has also been associated with global narratives of agricultural modernization, and development through FDI of 'cheap, unproductive and/or idle' farmland. Yet, as this book demonstrates, global investment dynamics are dictated by complex economic, political, socio-historical dynamics in any host country. Focusing on the land rush in Tanzania, the contexts of six investment projects in the nation are examined and unpacked, helping to understand the ways in which political struggles over land, capital and authority all feed into determining the goals - and eventually the outcomes - of the 'farmland investment game'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Base de la vie végétale, support de nos constructions et de nos infrastructures, réserve de biodiversité, réservoir de carbone… la liste de services rendus par les sols pourrait être longue. Leur importance cruciale pour la vie humaine n’est plus à démontrer. Il n’en reste pas moins que les sols, déjà fragiles, sont régulièrement les victimes de nos conflits d’intérêts, locaux et globaux, économiques et environnementaux. Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 2 propose un tour d’horizon des enjeux liés à une meilleure gestion des sols. Plusieurs regards seront convoqués, celui de l’agronome comme du juriste, de l’économiste comme du paysagiste ou du politiste. Ces analyses et réflexions permettront de réfléchir à une meilleure prise en compte des sols dans nos sociétés. Nous examinerons notamment les modalités de gouvernance pertinentes pour gérer ces biens précieux qui nous sont communs.

Download or read book Digues maritimes et fluviales de protection contre les submersions - 2e colloque national - Digues 2013 written by ROYET Paul and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au regard du Code de l’environnement, les digues, considérées comme ouvrages hydrauliques, ne doivent pas rompre de façon dangereuse pour les populations. En tant que moyen de prévention du risque d’inondation ou de submersion, les performances et les limites de ces digues doivent être connues avec précision. Les digues de protection constituent donc une question politique mise en évidence par plusieurs événements récents (Xynthia 2010, la NouvelleOrléans 2005, Rhône aval 2003, Gard 2002, Aude 1999). Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions présentées lors du 2e colloque national Digues maritimes et fluviales de protection contre les submersions (Digues2013), organisé par l’Irstea et Promosciences, les 12, 13 et 14 juin 2013 au Centre des Congrès d’AixenProvence, avec le soutien du MEDDE, du CFBR, et de la Région ProvenceAlpesCôte d’Azur. Il s’adresse aux maîtres d’ouvrages, gestionnaires, concepteurs, constructeurs, enseignants et chercheurs, services de contrôle, organismes financeurs, agissant dans les domaines d’activités liés, directement ou indirectement, à la sûreté des digues maritimes et fluviales.

Book Synopsis Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 5 by : Christian Valentin
Download or read book Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 5 written by Christian Valentin and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un tiers des sols mondiaux est déjà dégradé et la pression sur les terres ne cesse d’augmenter sous les urgences d’urbanisation, d’artificialisation, d’exploitations minières et des besoins accrus en terres agricoles : changements des régimes alimentaires, spéculation foncière, etc. L’encroûtement superficiel constitue le premier processus d’érosion hydrique. La salinisation des sols affecte d’immenses surfaces des zones arides et semi-arides, et une partie des zones côtières en raison de la subsidence continentale et de l’élévation du niveau de la mer. Sans oublier l’acidification des sols du fait de retombées des émissions de soufre et de la fertilisation azotée. Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 5, rare ouvrage à approfondir la question de l’artificialisation des sols, présente les principaux facteurs de leur dégradation, et les différentes voies de prévention et de réhabilitation. Cet ouvrage traite également des pollutions métalliques et organiques, ainsi que de la gestion des sols urbains dont les résidus peuvent fertiliser les sols cultivés.
Book Synopsis Culture and Imperialism by : Edward W. Said
Download or read book Culture and Imperialism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work from the author of Orientalism that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from Mansfield Park to Heart of Darkness and Aida. Yet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, Culture and Imperialism reopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.
Book Synopsis Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 4 by : Guilhem Bourrié
Download or read book Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 4 written by Guilhem Bourrié and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 4 examine le rôle majeur, mais sous-estimé, que jouent les sols dans l’acquisition de la qualité de l’eau : alimentation en eau potable, irrigation, nutrition des plantes. Tout ceci vient de l’interaction entre les sols et l’eau. Il traite des transformations de la qualité de l’eau dans les sols qui constituent la face cachée de la pédogenèse et influencent les grands cycles biogéochimiques à l’échelle du globe, y compris le cycle du carbone et la composition de l’atmosphère. En traversant les sols, la solution du sol change de composition, se charge de sels dissous et recharge les nappes, ressources d’eau potable. L’ouvrage examine en quoi les sols constituent ainsi un « système de transfert », et en quoi la gestion intégrée des bassins versants permet de restaurer la qualité des eaux tout en protégeant les sols et ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui globalement leurs services écosystémiques.

Book Synopsis Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 6 by : Philippe Lemanceau
Download or read book Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 6 written by Philippe Lemanceau and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les sols sont des milieux où évolue une myriade d’organismes différents, déterminant une série de fonctions, qui se traduisent en services écosystémiques essentiels pour l’humanité. Mieux connaitre ces organismes, leur biodiversité, leurs interactions, ainsi que celles avec l’environnement, représente donc un enjeu majeur. L’écologie des sols plonge ses racines dans l’histoire naturelle. Cette vision écologique appliquée aux sols a la particularité d’intégrer au moins partiellement les apports des sciences du sol (physique, chimie, biochimie). Par le renouvellement des méthodes d’observations et d’analyses (notamment moléculaires), le développement d’approches expérimentales et de la modélisation, c’est une écologie connectée avec les autres disciplines axées sur le sol qui émerge et qui commence à influencer en retour l’écologie des milieux épigés. Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 6 présente la vision actualisée des connaissances et des pistes de recherche en écologie du sol en tant que système complexe des meilleurs spécialistes français.
Book Synopsis The Optical Unconscious by : Rosalind E. Krauss
Download or read book The Optical Unconscious written by Rosalind E. Krauss and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994-07-25 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Optical Unconscious is a pointed protest against the official story of modernism and against the critical tradition that attempted to define modern art according to certain sacred commandments and self-fulfilling truths. The account of modernism presented here challenges the vaunted principle of "vision itself." And it is a very different story than we have ever read, not only because its insurgent plot and characters rise from below the calm surface of the known and law-like field of modernist painting, but because the voice is unlike anything we have heard before. Just as the artists of the optical unconscious assaulted the idea of autonomy and visual mastery, Rosalind Krauss abandons the historian's voice of objective detachment and forges a new style of writing in this book: art history that insinuates diary and art theory, and that has the gait and tone of fiction. The Optical Unconscious will be deeply vexing to modernism's standard-bearers, and to readers who have accepted the foundational principles on which their aesthetic is based. Krauss also gives us the story that Alfred Barr, Meyer Shapiro, and Clement Greenberg repressed, the story of a small, disparate group of artists who defied modernism's most cherished self-descriptions, giving rise to an unruly, disruptive force that persistently haunted the field of modernism from the 1920s to the 1950s and continues to disrupt it today. In order to understand why modernism had to repress the optical unconscious, Krauss eavesdrops on Roger Fry in the salons of Bloomsbury, and spies on the toddler John Ruskin as he amuses himself with the patterns of a rug; we find her in the living room of Clement Greenberg as he complains about "smart Jewish girls with their typewriters" in the 1960s, and in colloquy with Michael Fried about Frank Stella's love of baseball. Along the way, there are also narrative encounters with Freud, Jacques Lacan, Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois, Gilles Deleuze, and Jean-François Lyotard. To embody this optical unconscious, Krauss turns to the pages of Max Ernst's collage novels, to Marcel Duchamp's hypnotic Rotoreliefs, to Eva Hesse's luminous sculptures, and to Cy Twombly's, Andy Warhol's, and Robert Morris's scandalous decoding of Jackson Pollock's drip pictures as "Anti-Form." These artists introduced a new set of values into the field of twentieth-century art, offering ready-made images of obsessional fantasy in place of modernism's intentionality and unexamined compulsions.
Book Synopsis Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 1 by : Jacques Berthelin
Download or read book Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 1 written by Jacques Berthelin and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’intérêt scientifique, socio-économique, politique et médiatique pour les sols semble renaître depuis quelques années. Ils sont désormais reconnus comme support des productions végétales et des activités humaines, compartiment terrestre essentiel de la biosphère renfermant 25 % de la biodiversité terrestre, et comme régulateurs des grands équilibres. Cette multifonctionnalité des sols les place au coeur de la zone critique pour l’humanité où s’épanouit la vie. Mais savons-nous ce que sont les sols ? Comment sont-ils perçus ? Comment les définit-on ? Quelle place occupent-ils à la surface terrestre ? Comment se sont-ils formés ? Comment fonctionnent-ils ? À quoi servent-ils ? Autant de questions auxquelles s’efforce de répondre cette série d’ouvrages. Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 1 présente les définitions des sols et analyse leurs propriétés, les fonctions et services qu’ils assurent, les pressions qu’ils subissent et les perspectives qui s’ouvrent.
