Faced with the scale and intensity of the ecological crisis, environmental transition is underway, consisting of a first phase of technological mutation, aimed at replacing technologies harmful to the environment with those which have no destructive effects on the earth system and its equilibrium. This book examines the roots of the concept of environmental transition, identifying and characterizing the negative effects of technology on the environmental crisis. We will then identify the technological mutations that have the potential to contribute to environmental transition, and demonstrate how these changes are already forming part of a new emerging "technological system". We will conclude by addressing the question of the limits of technological responses to the environmental crisis, demonstrating the importance of the dimensional factors of human activity and weight of growth in this crisis, thus raising the issue of global reconsideration, with reference to the place and articulation of human activity in the Earth system.

Since the industrial revolution and coal mining in the 19th century followed by oil and gas drilling in the 20th century, massive CO2 emissions are responsible for global warming and rising sea levels, which will continue until political and industrial energy decision-makers put in place effective energy transition solutions. In the meantime, younger generations are worried and some even suffer from climate eco-anxiety. This book gives examples of simulated coastal submersion, based on selected examples in the North Sea, the Mediterranean, the English Channel, the Atlantic, and on islands in the Caribbean, the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. Then, to reassure the generations of the 22nd century, this book explains the energy transition, the advantages of green hydrogen in particular, low-carbon architecture, carbon neutrality for large cities and biomimicry. Finally, it proposes solutions for the adaptation of existing coastal settlement, as well as for the construction of new types of housing on stilts and/or floating, for CO2 capture, the adaptation of port infrastructures, multi-purpose offshore platform designs, and floating cities. It is to help today's youth that this book was written, so that future generations don't need to be afraid of the sea; instead of running away, they can continue to live on the coast. Full of illustrations, it includes 73 colour pages presenting 40 maps, 62 photos and 26 graphs or 3D sketches.

La transition écologique transforme notre monde en réponse à une crise écologique majeure. Elle s’appuie sur un changement global de la plupart des technologies qui portent l’activité humaine, au point d’entraîner un changement de l’ensemble même de notre système technologique. Transition écologique et mutation technologique présente, dans une première partie, la nature, les formes et la dynamique de la crise écologique globale et systémique de l’Anthropocène. L’ouvrage examine, dans une deuxième partie, les changements, les éliminations de technologies, l’émergence de solutions technologiques nouvelles qui sont les vecteurs de cette mutation dans tous les domaines d’activités. Cet ensemble de transformations est modélisé dans la projection d’un nouveau système technologique global, qui pourrait être qualifié de « quatrième révolution technologique ». L’ouvrage propose également une ouverture sur la question du statut du changement technologique dans la transition écologique et sur la démonstration de la nécessité d’une transformation profonde du système économique et de notre mode de vie.

Convaincu qu’il existe une cause commune à la crise multifocale qui menace l’humanité, l’auteur apporte une réponse anthropologique originale fondée sur un aspect méconnu de l’œuvre de Charles Darwin : l’hypertélie de croissance. Poursuivant l’interprétation magistrale qu’en fit Patrick Tort, épistémologiste des sciences et spécialiste du grand naturaliste, il montre que l’effet de serre est le premier révélateur d’une « surchauffe » hypertélique de notre civilisation. La compréhension de ce phénomène est un indispensable préalable aux mesures de normalisation de la situation climatique. À cette fin la lutte contre ses causes, idéologiques et énergétiques, et ses conséquences, écologiques et humanistes, implique la mise en œuvre d’une « intelligence des limites » propre à rétablir l’équilibre thermique de la biosphère par un indispensable abandon du mode de vie dominant des humains. Michel Joli insiste sur la nécessité absolue de mettre un terme à l’exploitation des énergies fossiles et ne pas se laisser distraire par des mesures d’adaptation aux conséquences du réchauffement au détriment de la lutte contre ses causes.

The earliest surviving instance of sustained first-person travel narrative in Arabic Mission to the Volga is a pioneering text of peerless historical and literary value. In its pages, we move north on a diplomatic mission from Baghdad to the upper reaches of the Volga River in what is now central Russia. In this colorful documentary from the tenth century, the enigmatic Ibn Fadlan relates his experiences as part of an embassy sent by Caliph al-Muqtadir to deliver political and religious instruction to the recently-converted King of the Bulghars. During eleven months of grueling travel, Ibn Fadlan records the marvels he witnesses on his journey, including an aurora borealis and the white nights of the North. Crucially, he offers a description of the Viking Rus, including their customs, clothing, body painting, and a striking account of a ship funeral. Together, these anecdotes illuminate a vibrant world of diversity during the heyday of the Abbasid Empire, narrated with as much curiosity and zeal as they were perceived by its observant beholder. An English-only edition.

Modern societies are inconceivable as isolated and mono-cultural entities. The interaction of various cultures is not only a fact of life for most Europeans, it also enriches our societies. However, we also witness tensions between cultures. Intercultural dialogue is therefore one of the political priorities of the Council of Europe, as shown most prominently by the adoption of the White Paper "Living Together as Equals in Dignity" in May 2008. Higher education, by its history and contemporary practice, is a natural partner in and promoter of intercultural dialogue and understanding. Higher education institutions and campuses are themselves multicultural societies, and as such are the focus of the present volume. A second volume will examine the role of higher education in furthering intercultural dialogue and understanding in broader society.

Defending ethics in sport is vital in order to combat the problems of corruption, violence, drugs, extremism and other forms of discrimination it is currently facing. Sport reflects nothing more and nothing less than the societies in which it takes place. However, if sport is to continue to bring benefits for individuals and societies, it cannot afford to neglect its ethical values or ignore these scourges. The major role of the Council of Europe and the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) in addressing the new challenges to sports ethics was confirmed by the 11th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Sport, held in Athens on 11 and 12 December 2008. A political impetus was given on 16 June 2010 by the Committee of Ministers, with the adoption of an updated version of the Code of Sports Ethics (Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)9), emphasising the requisite co-ordination between governments and sports organisations. The EPAS prepared the ministerial conference and stepped up its work in an international conference organised with the University of Rennes, which was attended by political leaders, athletes, researchers and officials from the voluntary sector. The key experiences described in the conference and the thoughts that it prompted are described in this publication. All the writers share the concern that the end result should be practical action - particularly in terms of the setting of standards - that falls within the remit of the EPAS and promotes the Council of Europe's core values.
