Faced with the scale and intensity of the ecological crisis, environmental transition is underway, consisting of a first phase of technological mutation, aimed at replacing technologies harmful to the environment with those which have no destructive effects on the earth system and its equilibrium. This book examines the roots of the concept of environmental transition, identifying and characterizing the negative effects of technology on the environmental crisis. We will then identify the technological mutations that have the potential to contribute to environmental transition, and demonstrate how these changes are already forming part of a new emerging "technological system". We will conclude by addressing the question of the limits of technological responses to the environmental crisis, demonstrating the importance of the dimensional factors of human activity and weight of growth in this crisis, thus raising the issue of global reconsideration, with reference to the place and articulation of human activity in the Earth system.

Au vu de certaines réalités inquiétantes, ces dernières années, l'environnement est devenu un thème majeur largement relayé par les médias. Le public est aujourd'hui conscient des menaces multiples qui pèsent sur la planète sans toujours percevoir clairement la nature exacte des problèmes et les solutions les mieux adaptées qu'il convient d'adopter pour inverser les processus de dégradation. A l'occasion de son 35e anniversaire, le WWF France, première ONG environnementale, propose un ouvrage très complet, qui clarifie la situation et précise, dans une approche résolument positive et optimiste, ce qu'il est possible d'entreprendre pour un changement progressif et durable. Dans les 6 domaines abordés par Planète vivante -espèces, forêts, eau douce, océans, climat et vie durable- des experts reconnus tracent un panorama de l'état de l'environnement dans ses différentes composantes. Ce constat est prolongé par des récits d'actions de terrain ou à l'échelle des gouvernements qui soulignent à quel point toute démarche en faveur de l'environnement influe sur l'économie, les modes de vis, la santé et le bien-être des populations.

In The Secret of Axabur, time is not just a concept, but a force that can warp and bend reality. The intrepid explorers of the Pegasus are determined to unravel its mysteries, even if the price is astronomical. As they journey closer to a black hole, time slows down, and they realize that they may have stumbled upon something truly immaterial. But when a strange anomaly transports palaeontologist Arthur to the afterlife, he discovers that the Gods are watching closely, and that meddling with time has dangerous consequences. Will Arthur and his team unlock the secrets of time, or will they be consumed by the very forces they seek to control? And what new revelations await the author of this book, if time is not just a line, but a maze of possibilities leading us to an uncertain future? Only time will tell in The Secret of Axabur.
