Dans un contexte mondial qui fragilise les productions d'herbivores des pays européens, cet ouvrage interdisciplinaire, coordonné par l'Académie d'Agriculture de France, montre la réalité et l'importance de la multifonctionnalité des prairies et en soulève les enjeux politiques. Ainsi les prairies contribuent-elles très fortement à la préservation des sols, de la biodiversité, de la qualité des eaux et des paysages, à la régulation des régimes hydriques mais aussi aux qualités des produits laitiers et carnés des herbivores. Dans cet ouvrage, destiné à un large public de décideurs, d'acteurs du développement territorial et agricole, d'étudiants et enseignants, les auteurs mettent en évidence les performances écologiques et économiques des systèmes herbagers et plaident pour une démarcation de la qualité des produits par des signes officiels. Ils soulignent l'importance des politiques publiques territoriales de soutien pour assurer la viabilité économique des exploitations d'élevage d'herbivores ; celles-ci doivent reconnaître et rémunérer les services sociétaux rendus par ces systèmes de production.

L’auteure s’est interrogée sur la façon dont les cas de cruauté ou de maltraitance animale sont traités par la justice. Pour cela elle s’est appuyée sur un matériau précieux, plus de 120 décisions de justice pour lesquelles, la SNDA s’est constituée partie civile avec l’appui de Me Patrice Grillon. Chaque cas résume un drame, celui de la torture infligée à un animal et la suite judiciaire qui lui sera réservée, mais aussi met en évidence la noblesse des témoins qui osent intervenir.Un dernier cas est plus largement développé à la fin de l’ouvrage : celui du chat de la gare de Montparnasse, coupé en deux par un train dont le démarrage aurait pu être retardé. Le processus judiciaire n’est pas terminé, mais il est révélateur de la contradiction entre respect et indifférence à l’égard du droit des animaux. Comme l’écrit la nouvelle présidente de la SNDA dans son mot d’introduction : le droit n’est pas une matière figée, il faut s’agissant de la protection animale tenir compte des évolutions scientifiques :  tel est le sens de la postface.Cet ouvrage devrait servir d’outil pédagogique renforçant la détermination des professionnels mais aussi d’un public sensible à la cause animale.

Les 26 et 27 décembre 1999, Lothar et Martin, deux tempêtes lourdes d'effets ont traversé la France, laissant derrière elles des forêts méconnaissables, des forestiers meurtris et une filière de la forêt et du bois fortement et durablement affectée. Pourquoi les écosystèmes forestiers sont-ils si vulnérables ? Pourquoi de tels aléas se produisent-ils ? Comment en limiter les effets ? Quelques années plus tard, et au lendemain d'une nouvelle tempête, Klaus, qui a frappé le Sud-Ouest du pays, cet ouvrage de synthèse apporte les réponses de la communauté scientifique à ces questions, notamment à travers les résultats du programme de recherche intitulé « Forêt, vent et risque », lancé en 2000 par les Pouvoirs Publics et animé par le Gip Ecofor.Cet ouvrage est destiné au monde forestier, gestionnaires, techniciens et professionnels, aux chercheurs, ainsi qu'aux enseignants et aux étudiants.

Ecologizing Education explores how we can reenvision education to meet the demands of an unjust and rapidly changing world. Going beyond "green" schooling programs that aim only to shape behavior, Sean Blenkinsop and Estella Kuchta advance a pedagogical approach that seeks to instills eco-conscious and socially just change at the cultural level. Ecologizing education, as this approach is called, involves identifying and working to overcome anti-ecological features of contemporary education. This approach, called ecologizing education, aims to develop a classroom culture in sync with the more-than-human world where diversity and interdependency are intrinsic.Blenkinsop and Kuchta illustrate this educational paradigm shift through the real-world stories of two public elementary schools located in British Columbia. They show that this approach to learning starts with recognizing the environmental and social injustices that pervade our industrialized societies. By documenting how ecologizing education helps children create new relationships with the natural world and move toward mutual healing, Blenkinsop and Kuchta offer a roadmap for what may be the most potent chance we have at meaningful change in the face of myriad climate crises. Timely, practical, and ultimately inspirational, Ecologizing Education is vital reading for any parent, caregiver, environmentalist, or educator looking for wholistic education that places nature and the environment front and center.

This book, aimed at Engineers, Architects, Building Technicians, and Students, offers a crucial insight into bioclimatic building construction in Tropical Africa. It addresses the common oversight of climatic characteristics in building design, emphasizing the need to consider weather conditions, especially in warm periods. The book analyzes current housing, compares it with vernacular and colonial models, and proposes bioclimatic designs using passive architectural techniques.A key model involves a mathematical analysis of complex admittances, considering local materials like hollow blocks, BTCS, terracotta bricks, laterite stones, granite rubble, and vibrated mortar tiles. Combined with passive techniques, this forms a bioclimatic building model tailored to dry tropical climates.  The author, in accessible language, advocates for promoting locally available materials as alternatives to conventional ones, anticipating potential shortages in building aggregates in tropical African countries.

Finding the extraordinary in nature’s ordinaryGeorgann Eubanks offers readers a tour of the seasonal joys of ecosystems in the Southeast. The ordinary destinations and events she explores are scattered across seven states and include such wonders as a half-million purple martins roosting on an island in a South Carolina lake, the bloom of thirty acres of dimpled trout lilies in a remote Georgia forest, gnat larvae that glow like stars on the rock walls of an obscure Alabama canyon, and the overnight accumulation of elaborately patterned moths on the side of a North Carolina mountain cabin.These phenomena and others reveal how plants, mammals, amphibians, and insects are managing to persevere despite pressures from human invasion, habitat destruction, and climate change. Their stories also shine a light on the efforts of dedicated scientists, volunteers, and aspiring young naturalists who are working to reverse losses and preserve the fabulous ordinary that’s still alive in the fields, forests, rivers, and coastal estuaries of this essential and biodiverse region.

Get help teaching one of the hottest topics in science with Understanding Climate Change, Grades 7–12. This nine-session module is written to be practical and accessible. It provides both extensive background and step-by-step instructions for using three-dimensional methods to explore this complex subject. It fits easily into a middle or high school curriculum while addressing the Next Generation Science Standards. The material can be covered in just three or four weeks or used in part to supplement your existing curriculum. Best of all, your students will find the module truly engaging. Rather than spoon-feeding them information, the lessons spur them to investigate evidence of climate change and global warming for themselves. Understanding Climate Change is designed with the Learning Cycle and the BSCS 5E Instructional Model in mind. The module starts with an in-depth look at sources of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and the greenhouse effect. It then addresses misconceptions about climate change; in fact, an entire session is devoted to evaluating information to see if it’s accurate, verifiable, complete, and from a reputable source. Then the lessons prompt students to conduct their own scientific research, discuss ripple effects, and examine solutions. The authors deliberately structured this module to build a conceptual foundation without risking information overload. Your students will come away prepared to analyze what they hear about climate change outside of class. They’ll also be ready to use critical thinking skills to draw their own conclusions about what should be done and to come up with ways they can take action to mitigate the effects of climate change in their homes, schools, and communities.

What if you could challenge your sixth graders to come up with a way to help tackle climate change in their own community? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can! Human Impacts on Our Climate outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary, three-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students investigate aspects of climate change that have been driven by the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Working in teams, students will use an engineering design process to identify a local environmental problem, develop a model to help monitor and minimize its impact, and create a presentation about their findings. To support this goal, students will do the following: • Explore differences between weather and climate and explore temperature as an indicator of global warming. • Examine the role that greenhouse gases play in global temperature warming. • Explain the causes and effects of climate change and how humans have influenced it. • Use mathematical modeling and numerical data to explore climate change’s impact. • Analyze and synthesize credible resources to form scientific arguments regarding climate change. • Develop a deeper understanding of how climate change influences the economy, our society, and people everywhere. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, Human Impacts on Our Climate can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.

Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change explores skills we need to successfully navigate the distinctive environmental, social, and economic challenges of the twenty-first century. Our inability to address increasing resource constraints, social conflict, and ecological decline lead many toward a deep pessimism that saps motivation for change. Drawing on research from environmental science, ethics, psychology, sociology and educational theory, William M. Throop shows why cultivating underdeveloped skills involved in collaboration, humility, frugality and systems thinking can enable flourishing within our context. He also illustrates how we can strengthen such skills individually and how education can scale up their cultivation, which will be essential for achieving sustainability. Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change is a hopeful, practical resource for readers passionate about creating a world where we can thrive, and where flourishing is widespread.

In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of "network climate action"—the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change.Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change. With easy-to-follow dos and don''ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

The environmental history of “the most polluted lake in America.”Native Americans have long regarded Onondaga Lake as one of the most sacred spaces in the continent, the place where peace between nations was achieved and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was created. In the mid-twentieth century, however, it acquired a wholly different reputation as “the most polluted lake in America.” Toxic Lake is an environmental history of this complex ecological system, tracking how it was tarnished, the costly efforts to clean it up, and the controversies those efforts generated.Thomas Shevory argues that the history of Onondaga Lake mirrors the larger environmental history of the US, from colonization to the industrial era, resulting, eventually, in the rise of social movements and legislative action for environmental protection. Layered within this history is the dismissal of indigenous land claims and the marginalization of indigenous voices in clean-up efforts. Toxic Lake illustrates that the failure to prevent the environmental destruction of Onondaga Lake was part of a political climate which favored unregulated industrial production and urban growth, ignoring the destructive impacts on local environments. Shevory argues this larger failure was the result of an active process of privileging the economic interests of polluters over other business interests, expanding neighborhoods, and indigenous rights. He concludes with an investigation of New York’s recent declaration that the clean-up is complete, questioning what exactly that means and whether the lake’s status as a sacred space will ever be re-established. Toxic Lake is a compelling work of history, demonstrating the disastrous effects of pollution and the importance of community involvement in environmental activism.
