  Curious Species - How Animals...

  Can corals build worlds? Do rattlesnakes enchant? What is a raccoon, and what might it know? Animals and the questions they raised thwarted human efforts to master nature during the so-called Enlightenment—a historical moment when rigid classification pervaded the study of natural history, people traded in people, and imperial avarice wrapped its tentacles around the globe. Whitney Barlow Robles makes animals the unruly protagonists of eighteenth-century science through journeys to four spaces and ecological zones: the ocean, the underground, the curiosity cabinet, and the field. Her forays reveal a forgotten lineage of empirical inquiry, one that forced researchers to embrace uncertainty. This tumultuous era in the history of human-animal encounters still haunts modern biologists and ecologists as they who struggle to fathom animals today. 
   
   
    
  In an eclectic fusion of history and nature writing, Robles alternates between careful historical investigations and probing personal narratives. These excavations of the past and present of distinct nonhuman creatures reveal the animal foundations of human knowledge and show why tackling our current environmental crisis first requires looking back in time.

  The Beast Within - Humans as...

  How different from animals are we really? 
   
   
   
  Are humans the only creatures who love, laugh, cry, possess morals, and wage war? In The Beast Within, scientific researcher and ethologist Jessica Serra upends the assumptions that underpin our very human hypothesis that we possess a superior place in the hierarchy of organisms on Earth. How did we come to think of our animality as standing in opposition to our humanity—and does this reasoning have a scientific basis? 
   
   
   
  Through the fascinating discoveries made by ethologists, anthropologists, and archeologists, Serra deciphers our behaviors in light of their animal roots and demystifies ideas about how different animals are from humans. She compares human behaviors with those exhibited by other species in chapters spanning topics as varied as sex, morality, emotions, intelligence, and family. Exploring the evolution of various animal species, as well as the evolution of historical ideas about humanity and animality, Serra theorizes that human behaviors and motivations may hold more in common with those of animals than we think. These explorations of scientific findings encourage us to reconsider how much we have truly removed ourselves from "the beast within."

  Climate Denial

  Thomas Porcher, Henri Landes

  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.

  Sauvage - My fight to end animal...

  Jérôme Pensu

  A passionate animal lover, Jérôme Pensu denounces the trafficking of wild animals in France, which is worth hundreds of millions of euros every year; he explains the mechanisms at play, the scale of the problem and the techniques used by criminals to make their business prosper; he points out, with specific cases to back it up, the incredible impunity enjoyed by fraudsters; and he lists a series of proposals to put an end, at last, to this scandal that endangers biodiversity - in other words, us.
  Sauvage! tells of pink flamingos atrophied to enrich zoos, macaques sent to their deaths in the name of environmental preservation, reptiles tortured for the needs of unscrupulous pet shops. He also talks about massive laundering, unashamed regularization and euthanasia of felines... All wild animals are concerned. He also talks about concrete, precise, immediate solutions that could put a stop to this massacre. 
  Because wildlife trafficking in France is not inevitable. It's up to each and every citizen to take part in the public debate to put an end to this scandal, which is almost as profitable as dealing hard drugs, and even more harmful in the long term for our planet and the human species. This book is also here to explain that anything is still possible, if citizens, families and children become aware of the uncontrolled traffic.
