The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. These scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers. Merchants of Doubt tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably, the same individuals surface repeatedly-some of the same figures who have claimed that the science of global warming is "not settled" denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. "Doubt is our product," wrote one tobacco executive. These "experts" supplied it. Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, historians of science, roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.

L'ouvrage montre comment, à la fin des années 1980, une poignée de scientifiques américains proches des milieux néoconservateurs et à la solde des lobbys industriels (industrie du tabac, lobbys climatosceptiques, etc.) ont mis en mouvement une nouvelle forme de scepticisme, fondé sur le retournement contre elle des valeurs de la science, à destination des politiques et des médias. Au travers de multiples exemples (danger du tabac sur la santé, pluies acides, trou dans la couche d'ozone, tabagisme passif, réchauffement climatique...), les auteurs montrent en quoi cette stratégie a prévalu dès lors qu'une réglementation environnementale était envisagée. Aujourd'hui, les " marchands de doute " sévissent sur tous les continents. Ne baissons pas la garde.

Résumé - Les marchands de doute de Naomi Oreskes, Erik M Conway Comment l'industrie et parfois le Gouvernement américain ont élaboré une stratégie du doute pour empêcher toute régulation contraire à leurs intérêts. La science peut représenter un danger pour l'industrie lorsqu'elle pointe des méfaits pour l'environnement ou la santé humaine engendrés par l'activité économique. Les industriels réagissent alors grâce à une stratégie mise au point depuis des décennies, consistant à entretenir le doute sur ces risques grâce au concours précieux de certains scientifiques reconnus. L'ouvrage Les marchands de doute, écrit par les historiens des sciences Naomi Oreskes et Erik Conway, analyse, documents à l'appui, comment plusieurs vérités scientifiques furent attaquées et remises en cause pour protéger des intérêts économiques ou politiques. Dans ce résumé, vous allez apprendre que: l'activité scientifique est fortement encadrée par une évaluation permanente entre pairs : une poignée de scientifiques renommés n'hésitent pas à manipuler les faits ; le devoir d'impartialité des médias est parfois instrumentalisé ; nous ne devons pas croire tout ce qu'on nous raconte

Depuis les années 1950, et plus particulièrement la fin des années 1980, une poignée de scientifiques américains, à la solde de lobbies industriels (tabac, énergie, pétrole), ont élaboré un savant travail de sape des vérités scientifiques. Une stratégie toute simple, qui a consisté à nier en bloc les preuves de la dangerosité du tabac, du DDT, de la réalité du trou de la couche d’ozone, des atteintes environnementales des pluies acides... Discréditer la science et les scientifiques, semer la confusion : grâce aux efforts d’un petit groupe d’« experts indépendants » et de médias naïfs ou complaisants, cette stratégie a fonctionné et fonctionne toujours. Il a fallu cinq ans à Naomi Oreskes et Erik M. Conway pour documenter et analyser les techniques de manipulation utilisées par ces marchands de doute, auxquels on doit une bonne part du climatoscepticisme contemporain. Cet ouvrage, qui ne relève en rien du pamphlet conspirationniste écrit à la légère, est aujourd’hui un classique, que chacun, scientifique ou citoyen, devrait lire.

The trajectories of pollution in global capitalism, from the toxic waste of early tanneries to the poisonous effects of pesticides in the twentieth century. Through the centuries, the march of economic progress has been accompanied by the spread of industrial pollution. As our capacities for production and our aptitude for consumption have increased, so have their byproducts--chemical contamination from fertilizers and pesticides, diesel emissions, oil spills, a vast "plastic continent" found floating in the ocean. The Contamination of the Earth offers a social and political history of industrial pollution, mapping its trajectories over three centuries, from the toxic wastes of early tanneries to the fossil fuel energy regime of the twentieth century.

The challenges of the 21st century are immense: implementing a more sustainable development model, maintaining markets and societies as open as possible, deploying entrepreneurial dynamism in the service of the common good, boosting employment, reindustrializing Western countries while promoting the development of emerging countries. ... How can we better focus our extraordinary creative capacity to meet the challenges ahead?If there is a key trend in our time, it is that of the progress of science and technology. This trend has become a steamroller, whatever the vagaries of history and economic conditions. It is enterprise that transforms, often as soon as they emerge, scientific knowledge and technologies into products and services. By mastering the methods and tools of techno-science, it has the power of knowledge behind its economic strategies. Techno-science constantly provides new opportunities and more powerful competitive weapons. Enterprise is therefore the main mediator between science and society. Yet is it an agent of progress?This essay explores the key role enterprise could play in the transformation of the economic system. By changing its culture, it can be a powerful tool to better meet the global challenges of our century. De Woot proposes that a spirit of enterprise, creativity and innovation are necessary responses to societal challenges. Although the current economic model is the source of major deviations, enterprise in the broadest sense can help correct many of them. From *problem* it can become *solution*.

Media coverage of scientific issues is a highly complex process. It involves making a specialized field accessible to the general public, without necessarily disseminating the associated scientific terms or knowledge. The terminological interactions between press discourses and scientific knowledge are presented within the field of agroecology. The analysis of textual data focuses on articles in the general press in French and English, devoted to plant protection practices using natural mechanisms (biological control). This book provides a terminological and cognitive overview of the issues involved in popularizing science in a rapidly expanding field, and of the challenges to be met in the constantly evolving environmental communication sector.

In The Fatimids and the Sea (909-1171), David Bramoullé shows how in medieval times an Ismaili dynasty of Caliphs used the sea to develop and justify its claims of control over the Muslim world. Dans les Fatimides et la mer (909-1171), David Bramoullé montre comment à à l’époque médiévale une dynastie musulmane de rite ismaélien utilisa la mer pour se développer et justifier ses prétentions à contrôler le monde musulman.
