Book Description
" Etat d'urgence ", " crise ", " déclin ", " situation préoccupante ", tant de mots ou d'expressions qui caractérisent aujourd'hui le tourisme ultramarin. Autant dire qu'on est loin des résultats attendus. Cet ouvrage arrive ainsi à un moment particulièrement difficile et tente d'éclairer cette " chute libre " du tourisme ultramarin, notamment par l'étude de la manière dont ces contrées sont administrées par l'Etat. Jean-Christophe Gay s'affranchit ici de la diversité des lieux pour mettre en évidence les ressorts essentiellement politiques qui commandent la production de l'espace touristique d'outre-mer. Il montre que ce tourisme tient dans la relation entre des lieux et des acteurs dominés par l'Etat et est également la conséquence de pratiques à la fois communes à tous les touristes et spécifiques aux Français d'outre-mer ou de Métropole. Au-delà de cette unité, il fait également l'hypothèse que la question des statuts de ces contrées, qui règlent leur fonctionnement et leur relation à l'Etat, est une variable particulièrement efficiente pour saisir non plus le mais les tourismes ultramarins, au travers de leurs systèmes et de leurs espaces.

Book Description
In the 17th century, Descartes put forth the metaphor of the machine to explain the functioning of living beings. In the 18th century, La Mettrie extended the metaphor to man. The clock was then used as the paradigm of the machine. In the 20th century, this metaphor still held but the clock was replaced by a computer. Nowadays, the organism is viewed as a robot obeying signals emanating from a computer program controlled by genetic information. This book shows that such a conception leads to contradictions not only in the theory of biology but also in its experimental research program, thereby impeding its development. The analysis of this problem is based on the most recent experimental data obtained in molecular biology as well as the history and philosophy of biology. It shows that the machine theory did not succeed in breaking with Aristotle's finalism. The book presents a new approach to biological systems based on cellular Darwinism. Genes are ruled by probabilistic mechanisms allowing cells to differentiate stochastically. Embryo development is not governed by a determinist genetic program but by natural selection occurring among cell populations inside the organism. This theory has considerable philosophical consequences. Man may be a machine but he is a random one.

Book Description
The supreme challenge of our time is tackling climate change. We urgently need to curtail our use of fossil fuels – but how can we do so in a just and feasible way? In this compelling book, leading economist James Boyce shows that the key to solving this conundrum is to put a limit on carbon emissions, thereby raising the price of fossil fuels and generating strong incentives for clean energy. But there is a formidable hurdle: how do we secure broad public support for a policy that increases fuel costs for consumers? Boyce powerfully argues that carbon pricing can be made just and politically durable only if linked to returning the revenue to the public as carbon dividends. Founded on the principle that the gifts of nature belong to us all, not to corporations or governments, this bold reform could spark a twenty-first-century clean energy revolution. Essential reading for all concerned citizens, policy-makers, and students of public policy and environmental economics, this book will be a transformative contribution to one of the most important policy debates of our era.
