A Darwinian Survival Guide
How humanity brought about the climate crisis by departing from its evolutionary trajectory 15,000 years ago—and how we can use evolutionary principles to save ourselves from the worst outcomes.

In A Darwinian Survival Guide, Daniel Brooks and Salvatore Agosta offer a novel—and hopeful—perspective on how to meet these tremendous challenges by changing the discourse from sustainability to survival.

Comunicaciones del III Coloquio de la Red de Investigación Sobre la Ictiofauna Amazónica -RIIA-
En este trabajo se realiza una breve descripción de la variabilidad hidrológica actual en la cuenca amazónica. Así mismo, este trabajo resume los resultados más relevantes sobre los eventos hidrológicos extremos ocurridos recientemente y su relación con la variabilidad climática, dando un especial énfasis en la parte andina de la cuenca amazónica. Este estudio se ha hecho posible gracias a nuevos datos obtenidos del observatorio ORE-HYBAM (Hidrología y Geodinámica de la cuenca Amazónica), como parte de la coopoeración científica entre el IRD (Instituto Francés de investigación para el desarrollo) y los servicios meteorológicos e hidrológicos de los países amazónicos, lo que ha permitido que por primera vez se integre información de diversos países que forman parte de la gran cuenca amazónica.
Poissons d'Afrique et peuples de l'eau
De l’origine des espèces et des premiers inventaires naturalistes aux pratiques de pêche traditionnelles et actuelles, en passant par la systématique et l’écologie des principales familles, ce livre dresse un panorama complet et richement illustré des poissons d’eau douce africains. Les représentations symboliques et artistiques ancestrales, ainsi que de nombreux témoignages actuels, invitent le lecteur à découvrir comment la pêche et les poissons continuent d’imprégner profondément les sociétés africaines. La domestication des espèces, à travers la pisciculture et l’aquariophilie, est également abordée. Ce livre n’a pas le format classique des ouvrages scientifiques. En effet, les auteurs ont fait le choix de diversifier les sources d’information et de privilégier l’iconographie, afin de rendre la lecture plus attrayante pour un lecteur non spécialiste. Ainsi, la parole est donnée à des chercheurs de différentes disciplines et à des pêcheurs, qui témoignent de leurs connaissances théoriques et empiriques des poissons et de la pêche.

Divine Consumption
Kirikongo is an archaeological site composed of thirteen remarkably well-preserved discrete mounds occupied continually from the early first to the mid second millennium AD. It spans a dynamic era that saw the growth of large settlement communities and regional socio-political formations, development of economic specializations, intensification in interregional commercial networks, and the effects of the Black Death pandemic. The extraordinary preservation of architectural units, activity areas and industrial zones provides a unique opportunity to discern the cultural practices that created stratified mounds (tells) in this part of West Africa. Building from a new detailed zooarchaeological ...
