Abstract

Contrairement au sens commun, le domaine méditerranéen ne se limite pas à l'espace géographique situé autour du bassin de la Méditerranée. Caractérisé par ses étés chauds et secs et ses hivers humides, le milieu méditerranéen marque la transition entre domaine tempéré et tropical. Il trouve son expression la plus emblématique autour de la Méditerranée mais on le rencontre également en Californie, au Chili, en Afrique du Sud et en Australie méridionale. Pour rendre compte de toute la diversité des paysages méditerranéens en fonction de l'altitude, de l'exposition, de la proximité maritime, l'ouvrage présente les caractéristiques du milieu méditerranéen dans ces cinq régions : composition de la couverture végétale, structure, étagement altitudinal, associations dominantes, relations avec les autres éléments du cadre physique et humain. Alors que la déprise rurale sur la rive nord du bassin méditerranéen vide les campagnes et qu'une intense surexploitation menace la rive sud et le Chili central, à l'heure où se développent au contraire en Californie, en Australie du Sud et dans la région du Cap des aires protégées abritant une exceptionnelle biodiversité, la gestion de ce milieu fragile s'impose désormais comme un enjeu environnemental majeur. Dans une perspective d'amélioration de la gestion de l'espace méditerranéen, cet ouvrage propose ainsi une synthèse biogéographique remarquablement documentée et richement illustrée. Enseignants, étudiants, géographes, naturalistes, chercheurs, décideurs, responsables en charge de la gestion de l'environnement y trouveront à la fois un ouvrage de référence et une invitation à la découverte approfondie du milieu naturel méditerranéen.

Abstract

As a 'Medieval Warm Period' prevailed in Western Europe during the tenth and eleventh centuries, the eastern Mediterranean region, from the Nile to the Oxus, was suffering from a series of climatic disasters which led to the decline of some of the most important civilizations and cultural centres of the time. This provocative study argues that many well-documented but apparently disparate events - such as recurrent drought and famine in Egypt, mass migrations in the steppes of central Asia, and the decline in population in urban centres such as Baghdad and Constantinople - are connected and should be understood within the broad context of climate change. Drawing on a wealth of textual and archaeological evidence, Ronnie Ellenblum explores the impact of climatic and ecological change across the eastern Mediterranean in this period, to offer a new perspective on why this was a turning point in the history of the Islamic world.

Abstract

Fierce Climate, Sacred Ground is an ethnographic account of the impacts of climate change in Shishmaref, Alaska. In this small Iupiaq community, flooding and erosion are forcing community members to consider relocation as the only possible solution for long-term safety. However, a tangled web of policy obstacles, lack of funding, and organizational challenges leaves the community without a clear way forward, creating serious questions of how to maintain cultural identity under the new climate regime. Elizabeth Marino analyzes this unique and grounded example of a warming world as a confluence of political injustice, histories of colonialism, global climate change, and contemporary development decisions. The book merges theoretical insights from disaster studies, political analysis, and passages from field notes into an eminently readable text for a wide audience. This is an ethnography of climate change; a glimpse into the lived experiences of a global phenomenon.
