Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. Belgium, Portugal and The Netherlands. Edited by Marc Mormont, Gert Spaargaren and Susana Gomes. The process of transnationalization in Europe is reflected in the growth of transport flows and the rapid development of new infrastructure facilities. The highly transport sector confronts policy makers with pressing challenges because some major environmental problems are attached to transport. Decision making in the field of transport and the environment is very complicated because of the complexity of the infrastructures themselves and because of the involvement of local actors in the decision making process. The central task of this book is to show how regions and countries deal with this complexity and the new challenges, different ways in which three small European countries face the many uncertainties and controversies surrounding infrastructural policies. Economical constraints, institutional and cultural factors are shown to interfere with the debates on transport-issues and the environmental risks attached to them. Each case-study describes the national characteristics of the transport sector and analyses in some detail one of the major controversies which recently arised around infrastructural projects. 344 Seiten mit 20 Abb., broschiert (Peter Lang Verlag 1997).

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This edited volume focuses on contemporary developments in mosquito control policies. It is premised on the idea that, in view of the social and ecological changes of recent decades, effective management of vector mosquitoes calls for a break with the old North/South, environment/health dualisms. Increasing urbanization and climate change encourage the proliferation of vector mosquitoes and expand their range of distribution. Globalization and the accelerated flow of human beings, insect vectors and viruses are increasing epidemic risks.In the North, populations are now exposed to emerging or re-emerging epidemic risks (dengue fever, chikungunya, zika, malaria, etc.). However, comfort-based mosquito control techniques designed predominantly to reduce a nuisance have proven ineffective against vector mosquitoes. In the South, social acceptance of large-scale insecticide spraying is waning. Ecological concerns are voiced with growing insistence, denouncing a cure that can be worse than the disease. Reliance on chemical control appears even less desirable as its effectiveness declines due to increasing insecticide resistance among mosquitoes. Meanwhile, genetic engineering is still in the trial and error phase and raises new ethical questions.The changes studied here are socio-environmental. To understand them, this volume proposes a dialogue between sociology, geography, entomology, epidemiology and ecology based on several study areas in Africa, the Indian Ocean, America and Europe. These analyses show that the relationships between human societies and mosquitoes are more deeply enmeshed than ever, as if caught in a duel that is still all too often fatal.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Comment appréhender les phénomènes reliant faits de nature et faits de société qui constituent la majeure partie des problèmes critiques et irrésolus contemporains Comment dépasser le grand partage fondateur de la modernité et surmonter la division du travail scientifique en disciplines Au-delà du recours devenu souvent incantatoire à l'Interdisciplinarité, l'originalité de cet ouvrage réside dans la tentative de répondre à ces questions en mêlant les acquis de la revue Natures Sciences Sociétés aux positions des courants interdisciplinaires opérant à l'échelle internationale (political ecology, Resilience Alliance, systems thinking). C'est aussi le mélange des formes prises pour ces échanges et cette confrontation tantôt autour de conférences tantôt dans des ateliers ouverts à des auteurs et courants distincts qui se découvrent et dialoguent à la fois pour saisir les parentés pouvant exister entre eux, et, au contraire, les choix alternatifs, sur lesquels ils reposent.Ce livre est constitué de deux grandes parties. La première confronte dans leur pluralité les enjeux épistémologiques de l'interdisciplinarité contribuant ainsi à une histoire réflexive sur ses concepts et ses méthodes dans une perspective comparative et internationale. La deuxième, plus expérimentale, s'attache à analyser des pratiques interdisciplinaires portant sur des objets et problèmes divers entre natures et sociétés. Y sont privilégiés l'évaluation des démarches et les retours sur expériences. Quels rapports établir entre sciences et sociétés, entre science et action Autant de questions que cet ouvrage propose d'aborder, de manière réflexive et constructive. Il fait suite à un colloque de Cerisy organisé à l'automne 2013 et destiné à fêter les vingt ans de la revue Natures Sciences Sociétés et de l'association NSS-Dialogues, qui en est à l'origine.; Comment appréhender les phénomènes reliant faits de nature et faits de société qui constituent la majeure partie des problèmes critiques et irrésolus contemporains Comment dépasser le grand partage fondateur de la modernité et surmonter la division du travail scientifique en disciplines Au-delà du recours devenu souvent incantatoire à l'Interdisciplinarité, l'originalité de cet ouvrage réside dans la tentative de répondre à ces questions en mêlant les acquis de la revue Natures Sciences Sociétés aux positions des courants interdisciplinaires opérant à l'échelle internationale ( political ecology, Resilience Alliance, systems thinking ).
