L'épopée de l'Homme industriel au travers des époques, de l'âge de pierre à aujourd'hui. La vie des hommes est trop courte pour leur permettre de vivre eux-mêmes toutes les périodes de l’histoire. Et pourtant, Homo Industrialis a vécu et travaillé à toutes les époques, depuis l’âge de pierre jusqu’à l’industrie 4.0 et la digitalisation. Homo Industrialis nous fait revivre ses différentes vies, à tous les âges et dans toutes les civilisations. Il nous délivre une autre histoire de l’homme, celle qu’il a partagée avec l’industrie, mère de tous les progrès. Toutes les civilisations sont en effet l’œuvre des industriels qui ont construit les temples et les palais, fabriqué les armes et les outils, créé les richesses et les savoir-faire, qui ont permis la réalisation des œuvres d’art, tels les bronzes et les statues, ceux-là même qui trônent aujourd’hui dans nos musées. Au travers d’une fresque couvrant les millénaires, l’auteur nous fait partager une description vivante, informative et générale des mondes d’hier, d’aujourd’hui et de demain. A l’heure où l’Occident doute de son modèle, à l’heure de la mondialisation de l’économie et des cultures, Homo Industrialis nous délivre un message d’espoir et de courage : une fois de plus c’est le travail et l’industrie qui nous sauveront. Un vrai programme d’avenir pour nos temps incertains. Premier tome d'une série d'ouvrages de l'auteur Jacques Leger, Homo Industrialis vous amènera à découvrir le parcours de l'Homme industriel au travers des âges. EXTRAIT Avant moi étaient venus d’abord les animaux marins, puis les mammifères et les dinosaures. Il y a soixante-cinq millions d’années, selon les experts, un grand cataclysme, détruisit tous les dinosaures, et seuls quelques mammifères survécurent. Ces mammifères étaient mes lointains ancêtres. Il y a six millions d’années j’avais un ancêtre commun avec mes cousins chimpanzés. Mais nos routes se séparèrent et se séparèrent encore.La terre était riche de milliers d’animaux qui accompagnaient la vie des Hommes : des éléphants, des lions, des tigres, des girafes, des buffles et des crocodiles, mais aussi des oiseaux de toutes sortes comme les aigles, les condors, les mésanges, les cigognes et les pinsons qui chantaient toute la journée pour égayer nos vies. Il y avait aussi les papillons, les libellules et les abeilles qui butinaient les fleurs des champs. Nous avions toujours eu besoin d’eux. Enfin il y avait les mers et les rivières qui étaient remplies de poissons comme les carpes, les anguilles, les requins, les baleines et les mérous, pour assurer notre nourriture. Les animaux faisaient preuve d’une intelligence certaine, même si celle-ci était différente de la nôtre. Par exemple les chevaux, les éléphants et d’autres animaux apparemment calmes pouvaient attendre des mois ou des années pour se venger de mauvais traitements. Les animaux (les grands singes par exemple) avaient dû élaborer des règles de vie sociale très sophistiquées pour pouvoir survivre entre eux. Si nous étions seuls dans l’univers, nous étions loin d’être seuls sur la Terre. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Ingénieur et financier, Jacques Leger a passé cinquante années dans le monde de l’industrie, au sein de grandes entreprises industrielles, opérant dans les divers pays d’Europe, aux USA, au Japon, en Corée du Sud et en Chine. Il a vécu lui-même les différentes étapes de la mondialisation.

Faith Seeking Conviviality traces the journey of a U.S. missionary into Brazil (and beyond), seeking to be faithfully present while also questioning the default settings of “good intentions.” Taking Ivan Illich as the primary theological guide on that journey, Faith Seeking Conviviality narrates the discovery of a renewed imagination for Christian mission that arises as a response to two persistent questions. First, given the colonial history of Christian missionary expansion, on what basis do we go on fulfilling the “Great Commission” (Matt 28:16–20) as Christ’s disciples? A second question, intimately related to the first, is: What makes it possible to embody a distinctively Christian presence that is missionary without being manipulative? In doing theology with and after Ivan Illich, Faith Seeking Conviviality does not offer a pull-off-the-shelf model for mission, but rather a framework for embodying the incarnational logic of mission that entails a “convivial turn”—delinking missionary discipleship from the lure of techniques and institutional dependence in order to receive and to share the peace of Christ relationally.

A cultural history of living in the undersea, both fictional and real, from Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo to NASA’s ECC02 project. In Memo for Nemo, William Firebrace investigates human inhabitation of the undersea, both fictional and real. Beginning with Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo—an undersea Renaissance man with a library of 12,000 volumes on his submarine—and proceeding through aquariums, undersea photography, artificial seas on land, nuclear-powered submarines, undersea film epics, giant squid, and NASA satellites, Firebrace examines the undersea as a zone created by exploration and invention. Throughout, the history of undersea life is accompanied by an imagined undersea, envisioned by cultural figures ranging from Verne and Herman Melville to Orson Welles and Jimi Hendrix. Firebrace takes readers though the enormous sequence of rooms (impossible in real life) in Nemo’s submarine, recounts the competition among nineteenth-century cities to build the most spectacular aquatic world, and explains the workings of the bathysphere—an early underwater vessel modeled on a hot-air balloon. He considers the aquarium’s function in films as a sort of viewing lens, describes the chlorine-proof artificial sea life seen by passengers on the submarine ride at Disneyland, and reports that Jacques Cousteau’s famous underwater documentaries were in fact highly staged. The oceans of today are not those imagined by Verne; they are changing from both natural processes and human influence. Memo for Nemo documents the power of the undersea in both art and life.

A systematic historical survey of Chinese thought is followed by an investigation of the historical-metaphysical questions of modern technology, asking how Chinese thought might contribute to a renewed questioning of globalized technics. Heidegger's critique of modern technology and its relation to metaphysics has been widely accepted in the East. Yet the conception that there is only one—originally Greek—type of technics has been an obstacle to any original critical thinking of technology in modern Chinese thought. Yuk Hui argues for the urgency of imagining a specifically Chinese philosophy of technology capable of responding to Heidegger's challenge, while problematizing the affirmation of technics and technologies as anthropologically universal. This investigation of the historical-metaphysical question of technology, drawing on Lyotard, Simondon, and Stiegler, and introducing a history of modern Eastern philosophical thinking largely unknown to Western readers, including philosophers such as Feng Youlan, Mou Zongsan, and Keiji Nishitani, sheds new light on the obscurity of the question of technology in China. Why was technics never thematized in Chinese thought? Why has time never been a real question for Chinese philosophy? How was the traditional concept of Qi transformed in its relation to Dao as China welcomed technological modernity and westernization? In The Question Concerning Technology in China, a systematic historical survey of the major concepts of traditional Chinese thinking is followed by a startlingly original investigation of these questions, in order to ask how Chinese thought might today contribute to a renewed, cosmotechnical questioning of globalized technics.

In their highly selective and literal reading of Scripture, creationists champion a rigidly reductionistic view of creation in their fight against "soulless scientism." Conversely, many scientists find faith in God to be a dangerous impediment in the empirical quest for knowledge. As a result of this ongoing debate, many people of faith feel forced to choose between evolution and the Bible's story of creation. But, as William Brown asks, which biblical creation story are we talking about? Brown shows that, through a close reading of biblical texts, no fewer than seven different biblical perspectives on creation can be identified. By examining these perspectives, Brown illuminates both connections and conflicts between the ancient creation traditions and the natural sciences, arguing for a new way of reading the Bible in light of current scientific knowledge and with consideration of the needs of the environment. In Brown's argument, both scientific inquiry and theological reflection are driven by a sense of wonder, which, in his words, "unites the scientist and the psalmist." Brown's own wonder at the beauty and complexity of the created world is evident throughout this intelligent, well-written, and inspirational book.
