Book Description
North American Indians have fired the imaginations of Europeans for the past five hundred years. The Native populations of North America have served a variety of European cultural and emotional needs, ranging from noble savage role models for Old World civilization to a more sympathetic portrayal as subjugated victims of American imperialism. ø This comprehensive, interdisciplinary collection of essays offers the first in-depth, extended look at the complicated, changing relationship between European and Native peoples. The contributors explore three aspects of this relationship: Why and how did the cultures and histories of Europeans enable Native peoples to become absorbed into the reality of the Old World? What happened in actual encounters between American Indian visitors and their European hosts? How did continued and increased interaction between Indians and Europeans affect established imagery and preconceptions on both sides?

Food security and nutrition in the age of climate change
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251309310
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
After steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, as well as to the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The summaries of these four days of plenaries, interactive workshops, and special events have been grouped under seven major themes for this publication: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.

Les utopies de la ville
Author: Yvette Marin
Publisher: Presses Univ. Franche-Comté
ISBN: 9782846270311
Category : Cities and towns
Languages : fr
Pages : 484
Book Description
La ville est ici saisie par des théoriciens en sciences sociales, en arts plastiques, en littérature ainsi que par des praticiens de la ville, paysagistes, architectes ou urbanistes. A travers les différents éclairages apportés, c'est une nouvelle lecture de la ville que nous cherchons à dégager. Doit-elle continuer à osciller entre affranchissement et désenchantement, ou peut-on raisonnablement espérer la situer dans un nouvel espace - utopique? - qui impliquerait la révision des cultures?
