Synopsis

In "Glossary of Geological and Other Scientific Terms Used in the Principles of Geology," Charles Lyell meticulously compiles and elucidates the terminology that underpins his groundbreaking work in geology. This glossary serves as an essential companion to his seminal text, "Principles of Geology," providing clarity to complex scientific concepts grounded in empirical observation and reasoning. Lyell's literary style is characterized by precision and accessibility, making this glossary a vital resource for both experts and lay readers interested in the evolving discourse of geological science during the 19th century, particularly in the context of advancing theories about Earth's history and evolution. Charles Lyell, a British geologist regarded as one of the founders of modern geology, was profoundly influenced by the scientific dialogues of his time, including the debates surrounding the age of the Earth and the processes shaping its features. His rigorous studies included observations from diverse geological formations across Europe and North America, which informed his systematic approach to elucidating terminology, thus bridging the gap between technical language and wider public understanding. This glossary is highly recommended for students, enthusiasts, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of geological concepts and their historical significance. Lyell's commitment to clarity not only enhances comprehension but also enriches the reader's appreciation of geology as a discipline, making it an indispensable tool for anyone delving into the sciences.

    Is it possible to subsidize fossil fuels on the one hand, while at the same time claiming to be committed to the fight against global warming? 
    Is it possible to promote free trade treaties throughout the world while claiming that CO2 emissions must be reduced? 
    Can we use indicators that only take into account market production without taking into account pollution?
    In view of the climate challenge, the answer to these questions should be negative, but unfortunately today it is still positive. In a documented, clear and incisive book, Thomas Porcher and Henri Landes denounce this climate hypocrisy. In the last chapter, they present 10 proposals to meet the climate challenge. 
    Instead of all the great speeches on climate, this book reminds us of the sad reality of recent years—an unprecedented development of polluting energies with unconventional gas and oil, a blind trust in non-existent solutions from the market to fight against climate change, hundreds of free trade treaties being negotiated without climate clauses, inadequate measurement indicators that encourage business as usual.

    Industrial design plays a pivotal role in modern industry by significantly influencing product functionality, aesthetics, user experience, and market competitiveness. One of the primary contributions of industrial design is the enhancement of product functionality and usability. Designers achieve this by thoroughly understanding user needs and behaviors, which allows them to create products that are intuitive and easy to use.
