Manifeste du Muséum
L'assassinat de Samuel Paty, les attentats du Bataclan et du journal Charlie Hebdo, jusqu'aux violences conjugales par lesquelles plus de cent femmes meurent en France chaque année sous les coups de leur compagnon, la violence s'expose à nous presque quotidiennement. Paradoxalement, malgré un ressenti généralisé de vivre dans un monde violent, le niveau de violence civile en Europe de l'Ouest n'a jamais été aussi bas depuis les origines de notre pays. Toutes les violences sont-elles comparables ? Qu'est-ce que la violence ? Quelles sont ses origines naturelles ? Signé par un collectif d'auteurs, ce manifeste convoque différentes disciplines scientifiques afin de disposer d'une grille d'analyse scientifique fondée et interroge l'essence même de la violence.
Myth and Geology
"This book is the first peer-reviewed collection of papers focusing on the potential of myth storylines to yield data and lessons that are of value to the geological sciences. Building on the nascent discipline of geomythology, scientists and scholars from a variety of disciplines have contributed to this volume. The geological hazards (such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and cosmic impacts) that have given rise to myths are considered, as are the sacred and cultural values associated with rocks, fossils, geological formations and landscapes. There are also discussions about the historical and literary perspectives of geomythology. Regional coverage includes Europe and the Mediterranean, Afghanistan, Cameroon, India, Australia, Japan, Pacific islands, South America and North America. Myth and Geology challenges the widespread notion that myths are fictitious or otherwise lacking in value for the physical sciences." -- BOOK JACKET.

Advances in Morphometrics
This volume is based on the NATO Advanced Study Institute, "Advances in Mor phometries" held in 11 Ciocco, Tuscany, Italy from July 18-30, 1993, and directed by Leslie F. Marcus. The "Advances in Morphometries" ASI was advertised in Nature and a number of professional journals. Announcements were sent to relevant institutions and departments throughout the world. Because NATO required that the majority of attendees be from NATO countries, the 71 persons attending represented nine NATO countries, four eastern European countries, now recognized as equal partners for AS Is, and a few participants from non-NATO countries. Participants were all active scholars in different disciplines within biol...
Biodiversity Conservation and Phylogenetic Systematics
This book is about phylogenetic diversity as an approach to reduce biodiversity losses in this period of mass extinction. Chapters in the first section deal with questions such as the way we value phylogenetic diversity among other criteria for biodiversity conservation; the choice of measures; the loss of phylogenetic diversity with extinction; the importance of organisms that are deeply branched in the tree of life, and the role of relict species. The second section is composed by contributions exploring methodological aspects, such as how to deal with abundance, sampling effort, or conflicting trees in analysis of phylogenetic diversity. The last section is devoted to applications, showing how phylogenetic diversity can be integrated in systematic conservation planning, in EDGE and HEDGE evaluations. This wide coverage makes the book a reference for academics, policy makers and stakeholders dealing with biodiversity conservation.
