Agroecology
Agroecology is at the forefront of transforming our food systems. This bestselling textbook provides the essential foundation for understanding this transformation in all its components: agricultural, ecological, economic, social, cultural, and political. It presents a case for food system change, explains the principles and practices underlying the ecological approach to food production, and lays out a vision for a food system based on equity and greater compatibility with the planet's life support systems. New to the fourth edition: A chapter on Alternatives to Industrial Agriculture, covering the similarities and distinctions among different approaches to sustainable agriculture A chapter...
A Natural History of the Future
"An arresting vision of this relentless natural world"—New York Times Book Review A leading ecologist argues that if humankind is to survive on a fragile planet, we must understand and obey its iron laws Our species has amassed unprecedented knowledge of nature, which we have tried to use to seize control of life and bend the planet to our will. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life’s overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops, dump toxic waste, or build communities, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life’s future flourishing is not in question. Ours is. As ambitious as Edward Wilson’s Sociobiology and as timely as Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction, A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself.

Une histoire naturelle du futur
L'espèce humaine a accumulé des connaissances sur la nature pour tenter d'en prendre le contrôle. En vain. Nous avons beau nous voir en maîtres du vivant, le monde que nous habitons nous échappe largement. En étudiant la résistance croissante aux antibiotiques, la capacité de la sélection naturelle à créer de la biodiversité, et même les formes de vie surprenantes qui se sont développées dans le métro londonien ou les rues de New York, Rob Dunn identifie des lois du vivant qu'aucune activité humaine n'est capable d'abolir. Quand nous créons des îlots agricoles artificiels, répandons des déchets toxiques, construisons des mégapoles et modifions le climat, nous fournisson...
