The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
Missions d'évangélisation et circulation des savoirs
Quels furent les savoirs utilisés, diffusés et produits par les missionnaires catholiques, à partir du milieu du XVIe siècle, aussi bien en Europe, qu'en Amérique, en Asie et en Afrique ? Dans quelle mesure l'entreprise d'évangélisation des âmes, jugées par les missionnaires comme païennes, hérétiques ou simplement indifférentes, a-t-elle participé à l'aventure moderne de la circulation des savoirs ? Ces questions intéressent aussi bien l'histoire sociale et culturelle des missions que l'histoire des empires et des sociétés coloniales ou l'histoire intellectuelle. Elles conduisent à réfléchir sur la manière dont l'Europe, à l'époque moderne, est entrée en relation avec d'autres espaces. À la croisée des croyances et des connaissances, les missions d'évangélisation ont suscité de profonds changements dans l'architecture des savoirs et ont paradoxalement participé à la sécularisation de la conception du monde.

The Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Development
Such a huge number of books, journals and papers have been devoted to defining, assessing and implementing 'sustainable development' that students and other readers face information overload. Earthscan alone has published hundreds of essays and books on the subject. Now, though, the most authoritative writings have been carefully assessed and collected together in the Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Development. The contributions included span five years of the debate, and cover all the principle themes: the history of the concept; the problems in defining it; the issues surrounding it; and national international policies and schemes to implement it. For ease of use, the essays have been split into key subject areas - such as agriculture, population and the commons - and they include practical case studies and examples, together with analyses from a number of different viewpoints from both the North and South. These seminal essays will provide readers with a unique overview of the subject, as well as the long-awaited basic course material for students of environmental studies, economics, geography, politics, planning and the social sciences.
