Book Description
Les paysages de terrasses de culture que l'on retrouve un peu partout à travers le monde, impressionnent et irritent l'esprit, probablement parce que plus que d'autres ils suggèrent spontanément le travail démesuré de l'homme, un passé laborieux au cours duquel la terre vivait et faisait vivre, mais aussi et surtout ils témoignent d'une technologie, d'un savoir-faire et d'une capacité à gérer le milieu dont on ne sait finalement que peu de choses. Il se trouve qu'en agriculture, des opérations telles que, par exemple, le nivellement et le terrassement d'une parcelle, ont aussi été mises en oeuvre dans les terroirs moins typés, plus anonymes. A l'inverse, les solutiosn adoptées pour cultiver des parcelles pentues n'aboutissent pas toujours aux paysages classiques de terrassses cultivées, si caractéristiques des régions méditerranéennes. Tout au long de ce parcours, c'est l'acte technique lui-même qui est privilégié, au détriment de la forme, du paysage. Plus qu'à une contemplation du décor, le lecteur est ainsi convié à pénétrer dans les coulisses pour écouter et observer l'agriculteur, dont l'art peut aller jusqu'à exploiter les défauts d'une nature des plus ingrates pour en tirer un parti positif. A travers ce rapport parfois violent avec le monde minéral, apparaît finlemanent un traitement de sollicitude, parfois même affectueux : la protection et la jouissance de l'arbre porteur de fruits.

Book Description
This large volume draws on evidence from fieldwork, historical records, archaeology, pollen analysis and recent research in discussing the ecology of Mediterranean Europe from the past to the present day. Grove and Rackham provide clear explanations and discussions of different ecosystems, of ruined landscapes, climate fluctuations and vegetation change, the impact of fire, terracing, agriculture and man's changing subsistence strategies, of coastal erosion and deforestation. A highly readable book, packed full of information, which also assesses the pessimistic view that many people hold over the future of the landscape and environment.

Book Description
The Register of Laws of the Arabian Gulf offers a single, comprehensive source of key information in the field. No similar work exists in the English language. Drawing on original Arabic sources - invariably very difficult to find either individually or in series - this major loose-leaf work provides a complete database of all laws and regulations originating in each country of the Arabian Gulf.

Book Description
This volume collects the best scientific contribution presented in the 3rd World Conference on Terraced Landscapes held in Italy from 6th to 15th October 2016, offering a deep and multifaceted insight into the remarkable heritage of terraced landscapes in Italy, in Europe and in the World (America, Asia, Australia). It consists of 2 parts: a geographical overview on some of the most important terraced systems in the world (1st part), and a multidisciplinary approach that aims to promote a multifunctional vision of terraces, underlining how these landscapes meet different needs: cultural and historical values, environmental and hydrogeological functions, quality and variety of food, community empowerment and sustainable development (2nd part). The volume offers a great overview on strengths, weaknesses, functions and strategies for terraced landscapes all over the world, summarizing in a final manifest the guidelines to provide a future for these landscapes as natural and cultural heritage.

Book Description
Through a series of case studies, this third volume in the Earth series deals with the technological constraints and innovations that enabled societies to survive and thrive across a range of environmental conditions. The contributions are structured into three sections to draw out particular commonalities and contrasts in the choices made by pre-industrial communities in the construction of varied landscapes and cultural heritage: Landnam, from the Old Norse for ‘taking of land’, deals with colonization, including the drivers and processes through which colonizers developed an understanding of the productive potential and limitations of their new lands. Fields and field systems: Field-walls are a distinctive and apparently timeless characteristic of many pre-industrial farming landscapes but they present many the challenges to their study, such as the effects of plowing, abandonment and land-use change and of urban development in fertile lowland zones which may eradicate, reduce or conceal past systems of land-use and division. The importance of indirect and proxy evidence is illustrated and the value of interdisciplinary and modeling approaches emphasized. Agro-pastoralism: focuses on the complex ‘time-space adaptations’ devised for managing cultivation and livestock production, particularly the need to prevent stock incursions into arable fields during the growing season whilst making effective use of seasonal grazing resources. The contributions focus on mountainous areas, where temporary migrations, in the form of transhumance, provided access to a diversity of resources based around seasonal constraints on their availability and productivity.

Book Description
The proceedings of the 2017 Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery includes 43 essays by international scholars. The topics included agro-ecology, food sovereignty and economic democracy in the agricultural landscape, argued by Colin Tudge, James Rebanks on family life as a hill-farmer in the Lake District, and many talks that illustrate Catalan historian Joseph Pla's axiom that 'Cuisine is the landscape in a saucepan'.

Book Description
Old Fields brings together leading experts from around the world to synthesize past and current work on old fields, providing an up-to-date perspective on the ecological dynamics of abandoned land. The book gives readers a broad understanding of why agricultural land is abandoned, the factors that determine the ecological recovery of old fields, and how this understanding contributes to theoretical and applied ecology.
