Crop Protection
This book is a synthesis and a celebration of a large body of agro-ecological research carried out on the management of the pests of cotton, one of the worlds major crops and one which has historically been a very heavy consumer of inputs of pesticides. It demonstrates how agro-ecological approaches to pest management are at last approaching the mainstream, with an increasing recognition that farmland delivers a wide range of ecosystem services (natures goods and services), including but certainly not solely comprising the production of food.
Organic Farming, Prototype for Sustainable Agricultures
Stakeholders show a growing interest for organic food and farming (OF&F), which becomes a societal component. Rather than questioning whether OF&F outperforms conventional agriculture or not, the main question addressed in this book is how, and in what conditions, OF&F may be considered as a prototype towards sustainable agricultures. The book gathers 25 papers introduced in a first chapter. The first section investigates OF&F production processes and its capacity to benefit from the systems functioning to achieve higher self-sufficiency. The second one proposes an overview of organic performances providing commodities and public goods. The third one focuses on organics development pathways within agri-food systems and territories. As well as a strong theoretical component, this book provides an overview of the new challenges for research and development. It questions the benefits as well as knowledge gaps with a particular emphasis on bottlenecks and lock-in effects at various levels.
Integrated Pest Management and Pest Control
Integrated Pest Management is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. Its programs use current and comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interactions with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment.
Condorcet
Outre des aperçus sur la biographie, on trouvera, groupés sous deux grands thèmes "Sciences et instruction" et "La Révolution et la République", une vingtaine d'études apportant des éléments nouveaux à notre connaissance des oeuvres e des activités de Condorcet.
Agroecological Crop Protection
This book is devoted to Agroecological Crop Protection, which is the declension of the principles of agroecology to crop protection. It presents the concepts of this innovative approach, case studies and lessons and generic keys for agroecological transition. The book is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, experimenters, teachers, farmers, students. It represents a new tool, proposing concrete keys of action on the basis of feedbacks validated scientifically. Beyond the examples presented, it is therefore of general scope and proposes recommendations for all temperate and tropical cropping systems. It contributes to the training and teaching modules in this field and it is an updated information support for professionals and a teaching aid for students (agronomy, crop protection, biodiversity management, agroecology).
The Complete Works of Emile Zola

La poésie amoureuse de Quevedo
Les études ici réunies s'attachent à montrer comment la poésie amoureuse de Quevedo, tout en puisant dans la tradition pétrarquiste, s'en démarque aussi par un travail formel sur le sonnet, l'émergence du ton propre à la satire, la réactivation de certains mythes ou figures symboliques et enfin par l'inscription de la tension amoureuse au coeur de l'écriture.
Protection agroécologique des cultures
À partir d’une présentation des principes de l’agroécologie et de leur application à la protection des cultures, cet ouvrage analyse plusieurs expériences participatives réalisées en vraie grandeur, dans différents contextes. Il en tire des recommandations concrètes pour l'ensemble des systèmes de cultures tempérés et tropicaux, véritables clés de cette transition agroécologique recherchée.
Américônes
Ces six essais sur l'image aux États-Unis examinent la peinture, la photographie et le cinéma américains. De la présentation panoramique à l'examen méticuleux d'une ou plusieurs œuvres, ils mettent en rapport la culture d'un pays soupçonneux des icônes avec le contexte historique, idéologique, esthétique qui les a vus naître. L'accent est mis sur la méthodologie de la lecture d'image. À rebours des idées reçues, ces textes résultent des travaux présentés par les équipes de recherche «)Clinamens)» de l'École Normale Supérieure de Fontenay/Saint-Cloud au cours de l'année 1995-1996 et constituent un outil de travail utile à tous ceux que passionne l'iconographie.
