Book Synopsis Pour en finir avec l'écologie punitive by : Olivier Blond
Download or read book Pour en finir avec l'écologie punitive written by Olivier Blond and published by Grasset. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aujourd’hui, respirer tue. En France, la pollution de l'air fait 48 000 victimes par an. C'est le plus grand scandale sanitaire de ces dernières années; les pics de pollution se succèdent et pourtant, rien ne change. Les mesures pour lutter contre cette hécatombe, dès qu'elles touchent à la voiture, se heurtent à une même critique : l’accusation en « écologie punitive ». Expression qui résume à elle seule l'impasse dans laquelle se trouve notre politique écologique. On nous demande des sacrifices plutôt que de protéger notre santé ou nos emplois. Le pari de ce livre ? Repenser l'écologie à la racine pour la sortir de sa dimension moralisante et punitive; montrer que le souci de l'environnement n'est pas une affaire de clivage entre gauche et droite, ou entre citadins et banlieusards, mais un défi qui nous concerne tous ; et proposer, enfin, une transformation profonde : jusqu'à présent, on a voulu mettre la société au service de l'environnement, il s'agit désormais de faire l'inverse. Un manifeste pour une écologie joyeuse, fondée sur la justice et l’innovation.

Download or read book The Great Work written by Thomas Berry and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Berry is one of the most eminent cultural historians of our time. Here he presents the culmination of his ideas and urges us to move from being a disrupting force on the Earth to a benign presence. This transition is the Great Work -- the most necessary and most ennobling work we will ever undertake. Berry's message is not one of doom but of hope. He reminds society of its function, particularly the universities and other educational institutions whose role is to guide students into an appreciation rather than an exploitation of the world around them. Berry is the leading spokesperson for the Earth, and his profound ecological insight illuminates the path we need to take in the realms of ethics, politics, economics, and education if both we and the planet are to survive.
Book Synopsis State of the World 2010 by : Worldwatch Institute
Download or read book State of the World 2010 written by Worldwatch Institute and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the environmental and social problems we face today are symptoms of a deeper systemic failing: a dominant cultural paradigm that encourages living in ways that are often directly counter to the realities of a finite planet. This paradigm, typically referred to as 'consumerism,' has already spread to cultures around the world and has led to consumption levels that are vastly unsustainable. If this pattern spreads further there will be little possibility of solving climate change or other environmental problems that are poised to dramatically disrupt human civilization. It will take a sustained, long-term effort to redirect the traditions, social movements and institutions that shape consumer cultures towards becoming cultures of sustainability. These institutions include schools, the media, businesses and governments. Bringing about a cultural shift that makes living sustainably as 'natural' as a consumer lifestyle is today will not only address urgent crises like climate change, it could also tackle other symptoms like extreme income inequity, obesity and social isolation that are not typically seen as environmental problems. State of the World 2010 paints a picture of what this sustainability culture could look like, and how we can - and already are - making the shift.
Download or read book Evening Thoughts written by Thomas Berry and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on our spiritual role in the fate of the planet from “the most provocative figure among the new breed of eco–theologians” (Newsweek). Among the contemporary voices for the Earth, none resonates like that of cultural historian Thomas Berry. His teaching and writings have inspired a generation’s thinking about humankind’s place in the Earth community and the universe, engendering widespread critical acclaim and a documentary film on his life and work. This new collection of essays, from various years and occasions, expands and deepens ideas articulated in his earlier writings and also breaks new ground. Berry opens our eyes to the full dimensions of the ecological crisis, framing it as a crisis of spiritual vision. Applying his formidable erudition in cultural history, science, and comparative religions, he forges a compelling narrative of creation and communion that reconciles modern evolutionary thinking and traditional religious insights concerning our integral role in Earth’s society. While sounding an urgent alarm at our current dilemma, Berry inspires us to reclaim our role as the consciousness of the universe and thereby begin to create a true partnership with the Earth community. With Evening Thoughts, this wise elder has lit another beacon to lead us home. “Thomas Berry is an exemplar in a tradition that includes a diverse group of spiritually radiant individuals (Gandhi, the monk Thomas Merton, the Lakota elder Black Elk), visionaries (Jacques Ellul, Terry Tempest Williams, Rachel Carson), and writers (Wendell Berry, Gary Snyder, Rebecca Solnit, Loren Eiseley).” —Barry Lopez, author of Arctic Dreams

Book excerpt: Ecology has become a central question governing the survival and sustainability of human societies, cultures and languages.

Starting with a deep history of translation and ranging from food ecology to inter-species translation and green translation technology, this thought-provoking book offers a challenging and ultimately hopeful perspective on how translation can play a vital role in the future survival of the planet.

Book Synopsis Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century by : Bethwell A. Ogot
Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Book Synopsis Narratives of Fear and Safety by : Kaisa Kaukiainen
Download or read book Narratives of Fear and Safety written by Kaisa Kaukiainen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis, and - to imagine a better future. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past.
Book Synopsis Democracy in the EMU in the Aftermath of the Crisis by : Luigi Daniele
Download or read book Democracy in the EMU in the Aftermath of the Crisis written by Luigi Daniele and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers some of the major issues concerning the problematic relationship between respect for democratic principles and the new European Economic Governance. Innovative approaches are highlighted throughout the book: new frameworks and arrangements are proposed on the basis of efficiency analyses, as well as their institutional and legal suitability. Though the perspective adopted is essentially a legal one, the economic and policy background are also given due consideration.The papers presented here offer a balanced mix of empirical (including comparative) and theoretical analysis; several also combine the two approaches, carrying out empirical analyses, then setting the results against theoretical options. Given the relative dearth of literature on democratic principles and the EMU, let alone a comprehensive enquiry, the book marks a valuable new contribution.

Book Synopsis Plaidoyer pour une écologie... de droite by : Olivier Blond
Download or read book Plaidoyer pour une écologie... de droite written by Olivier Blond and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ne laissons pas la planète à des gauchistes ou à des illuminés : ce serait condamner l'écologie à rester un épouvantail ou un contrepouvoir inutile. Aucun parti ne peut prétendre en avoir le monopole ! Et tandis qu'un nombre croissant de citoyens du centre ou de droite se sentent concernés par ce sujet, il est temps que celles et ceux qui les représentent s'en emparent enfin. Une écologie de droite est possible. Mais à quoi pourrait-elle ressembler ? Nucléaire, pesticides, voitures électriques... Les technologies changent la donne, mais la principale innovation est politique : elle consiste à réinventer l'écologie hors du mythe empoisonné de la décroissance et sans ses dérives punitives. L'opinion publique le demande, l'attend. C'est le sujet de ce livre qui analyse l'écologie contemporaine dans sa diversité et la repense de façon pragmatique. Non pour renoncer à des transformations chaque jour plus nécessaires, mais, au contraire, pour chercher le meilleur moyen de les faire advenir. Militant écologiste, professeur de santé environnementale à l'université catholique de Paris, fondateur d'un think tank, l'institut Brunoy pour une écologie des solutions, conseiller régional et délégué spécial auprès de Valérie Pécresse, Olivier Blond est par ailleurs l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur l'écologie et l'environnement
