This title provides opportunities to consider critical issues in other disciplines and geographic contexts. Contributors also examine whether distinctive approaches to environmental history are required when studying the Canadian North, and consider a range of broader questions. What, if anything, sets the study of environmental history in particular regions apart from its study elsewhere? Do environmental historians require regionally-specific research practices? How can the study of environmental history take into consideration the relations between Indigenous peoples, the environment, and the state? How can the history of regions be placed most effectively within transnational and circumpolar contexts? How relevant are historical approaches to contemporary environmental issues?

Each time history repeats itself, so it's said, the price goes up. The twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water -- the very elements of life.

Summary:
Each time history repeats itself, so it's said, the price goes up. The twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water -- the very elements of life. The most urgent questions of the twenty-first century are: where will this growth lead? can it be consolidated or sustained? and what kind of world is our present bequeathing to our future? In "A short history of progress" Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment's inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome.

Summary:
Réchauffement climatique, crise économique, urbanisation galopante... Un nombre croissant de personnes prennent conscience qu’un changement de comportements est inéluctable, tant individuellement que collectivement. Mais comment mettre nos modes de vie en adéquation avec les ressources disponibles sur la planète? Comment nous préparer à vivre sans énergies fossiles? La permaculture humaine offre des clés pour répondre à cette délicate période de Transition. La permaculture est une approche systémique qui permet de créer des écosystèmes viables en s’inspirant des lois de la nature. Surtout envisagée dans son application agricole depuis une quarantaine d’années, elle est ici considérée dans son sens le plus large: aujourd’hui, les pionniers du changement aspirent à transformer leur vie dans toutes ses dimensions. La permaculture humaine porte donc non seulement sur l’agriculture, mais aussi sur la culture, incluant l’économie, l’habitat et les relations entre les individus.

Although we are well supplied with scientific information about environmental change, we often do not have the cultural resources to respond thoughtfully and to imagine our own futures in a tangibly altered world. This book poses the term "anticipatory history" as a tool to help us connect past, present and future environmental change. Through discussion of a series of topics, a range of leading academics, authors and practitioners consider how the stories we tell about ecological and landscape histories can help shape our perceptions of plausible environmental futures.

Scientists have also made significant discoveries in various realms, including the state of world ecosystems, the science behind the mother/baby interaction, and the workings of the brain. In this new and extensively revised and amplified edition of his bestselling book, David Suzuki reflects on these changes and examines what they mean for our place in the world. His basic message remains the same: we are creatures of the Earth, utterly dependent on its elements, which are not just external factors, but incorporated into our very essence.
