Book Description
Découvrir les reliefs sous-marins et prévoir séismes et tsunamis ? Plonger dans les abysses pour identifier des espèces inconnues et une vie foisonnante dans des conditions extrêmes ? Mesurer les influences des courants océaniques et les impacts du réchauffement climatique sur les littoraux ? Comprendre la régulation de la pêche en mer ? Ou s'émerveiller avec un bestiaire sous-marin avec ses grandes et petites histoires... Embarquez sur la mer monde pour une odyssée au cœur de l'Océan. Ce formidable réservoir de vie, qui couvre 71 % de notre planète, offre des trésors incommensurables à l'humanité : respirer, se nourrir, se soigner, se déplacer, disposer de ressources et d'énergie... mais il est en danger à cause des activités humaines entraînant pollution, destruction de biodiversité, dérèglement climatique, montée des eaux, impacts environnementaux sur les zones littorales, etc. Alors, comment exploiter ces formidables richesses sans les mettre en péril ? Comment gérer cet océan en " équilibre ", en garantissant son intégrité ? N'est-ce pas finalement tout l'enjeu des recherches océaniques que de veiller à la préservation de ces ressources marines, de découvrir et protéger l'extraordinaire biodiversité qui s'épanouit depuis la surface jusqu'aux grandes profondeurs, de comprendre les liens ténus entre climat et Océan, d'explorer les abysses et de surveiller la bonne santé des littoraux... À l'heure de la Décennie des Nations Unies pour les sciences océaniques au service du développement durable (2021-2030), ce livre nous invite à découvrir la recherche océanique, avec les chercheurs de l'Ifremer. Depuis les grandes explorations maritimes jusqu'aux dernières révolutions technologiques, elle fournit un " océan de données " sur le milieu marin et des opportunités uniques pour répondre aux défis liés au dérèglement climatique. Un portrait vivant destiné à tous les amoureux de la mer, pour voir l'Océan autrement... et appréhender enfin notre Mer Monde, comme une entité globale et incontournable pour relever les enjeux de demain.

Book Description
As media environments and communication practices evolve over time, so do theoretical concepts. This book analyzes some of the most well-known and fiercely discussed concepts of the digital age from a historical perspective, showing how many of them have pre-digital roots and how they have changed and still are constantly changing in the digital era. Written by leading authors in media and communication studies, the chapters historicize 16 concepts that have become central in the digital media literature, focusing on three main areas. The first part, Technologies and Connections, historicises concepts like network, media convergence, multimedia, interactivity and artificial intelligence. The second one is related to Agency and Politics and explores global governance, datafication, fake news, echo chambers, digital media activism. The last one, Users and Practices, is finally devoted to telepresence, digital loneliness, amateurism, user generated content, fandom and authenticity. The book aims to shed light on how concepts emerge and are co-shaped, circulated, used and reappropriated in different contexts. It argues for the need for a conceptual media and communication history that will reveal new developments without concealing continuities and it demonstrates how the analogue/digital dichotomy is often a misleading one.

Book Description
France is a Pacific power, with three territories, a military presence, and extensive investments. Once seen by many as a colonial interloper in the South Pacific, by the early 2000s, after it ended nuclear testing in French Polynesia and negotiated transitional Accords responding to independence demands in New Caledonia, France seems to have become generally accepted as a regional partner, even if its efforts concentrate on its own territories rather than the independent island states. But Frances future in the region has yet to be secured. By 2014 it is to have handed over a set of agreed autonomies to the New Caledonian government, before an independence referendum process begins. Past experience suggests that a final resolution of the status of New Caledonia will be divisive and could lead once again to violent confrontations. In French Polynesia, calls continue for independence and for treatment under UN decolonisation procedures, which France opposes. Other island leaders are watching, so far putting faith in the Noumea Accord, but wary of the final stages. The issues and possible solutions are more complex than the French Pacific island population of 515,000 would suggest. Combining historical background with political and economic analysis, this comprehensive study offers vital insight into the intricate history -- and problematic future -- of several of Australias key neighbours in the Pacific and to the priorities and options of the European country that still rules them. It is aimed at policy-makers, scholars, journalists, businesspeople, and others who want to familiarise themselves with the issues as Frances role in the region is redefined in the years to come.

Book Description
Dr. Gunter Pauli is challenging the green movement he has been so much a part of to do better, to do more. He is the entrepreneur who launched Ecover; those products are probably in many of your homes. He built the largest ecologically-sound factory in the world. His participation in the Club of Rome and the founding of Zero Emissions Research Institute (ZERI) has made an immense contribution to sustainability both in terms of research, public awareness and articulating a visionary direction. He has dedicated himself to teaching and the hands-on implementation of projects that have brought healthy environments, good nutrition, health care and jobs in sustainable commerce to a myriad of places in the world.

Book Description
Situating the French Revolution in the context of early modern globalization for the first time, this book offers a new approach to understanding its international origins and worldwide effects. A distinguished group of contributors shows that the political culture of the Revolution emerged out of a long history of global commerce, imperial competition, and the movement of people and ideas in places as far flung as India, Egypt, Guiana, and the Caribbean. This international approach helps to explain how the Revolution fused immense idealism with territorial ambition and combined the drive for human rights with various forms of exclusion. The essays examine topics including the role of smuggling and free trade in the origins of the French Revolution, the entwined nature of feminism and abolitionism, and the influence of the French revolutionary wars on the shape of American empire. The French Revolution in Global Perspective illuminates the dense connections among the cultural, social, and economic aspects of the French Revolution, revealing how new political forms-at once democratic and imperial, anticolonial and centralizing-were generated in and through continual transnational exchanges and dialogues.
