The Natural History Museum of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo, is one of the oldest scientific museum in the world. With this third volume on the collections of the Geology and Paleontology Section, Firenze University Press continues its series dedicated to the six Sections of the Museum. The first part of the volume shows a detailed and fascinating descriptions of the history of this museum section's collections, the contribution of scholars who from the 17th century endeavoured to expand and study the Florentine geological-paleontological collections, and the importance of the collections to the development of modern geological-paleontological thinking. The second part describes and documents the collections, that are presented in geo-chronological order, divided into the Invertebrate, Vertebrate, Paleobotanical and Geological collections. In the last part are presented the most important activities and research projects, based on this important cultural heritage, carried out by the paleontologists of the University of Florence.

Auguste Prouvensal de Saint-Hilaire (1779-1853) débarque au Brésil en décembre 1816 avec la délégation du Duc de Luxembourg, au moment où ce pays s’ouvre plus largement aux scientifiques et artistes étrangers. Il revient en France six ans plus tard après avoir réuni des collections d’histoire naturelle (plantes, animaux, minéraux), et recueilli un nombre important de données sur l’histoire, la géographie physique, les langues indigènes et l’usage des produits naturels. Les historiens et les biologistes brésiliens considèrent aujourd’hui que les descriptions qui figurent dans ses récits de voyages, constituent un état des lieux des paysages et de la société brésilienne essentiel à la connaissance de ce grand pays. Dans ce livre, le regard croisé des scientifiques et des historiens, français et brésiliens, dessine la figure originale d’un savant botaniste et explorateur dont la démarche scientifique peut être qualifiée de moderne. La publication annotée de Réponse aux reproches que les gens du monde font à l’étude de la botanique (Orléans, 1811) et de larges extraits d’un de ses cahiers de récolte permet aux lecteurs de mieux appréhender les concepts et la démarche de ce botaniste mal connu. Une bibliographie exhaustive et annotée complète cet ouvrage, en français et en portugais, très largement illustré. Botanist Auguste Prouvensal de Saint-Hilaire landed in Brazil with the delegation of the Duc de Luxembourg in December, 1816, when this country was first opening more widely to foreign scientists and artists. He returned to France six years later having gathered significant natural history collections (of plants, animals, and minerals) and a great deal of information on the region’s history, physical geography, and uses of its natural products. In this bilingual French-Portuguese book, contemporary French and Brazilian historians and biologists explore how the descriptions that appear in this little-known botanist and explorer’s writings not only provide a window…

This edited open access book presents the comprehensive outcome of The European DataBio Project, which examined new data-driven methods to shape a bioeconomy. These methods are used to develop new and sustainable ways to use forest, farm and fishery resources. As a European initiative, the goal is to use these new findings to support decision-makers and producers – meaning farmers, land and forest owners and fishermen. With their 27 pilot projects from 17 countries, the authors examine important sectors and highlight examples where modern data-driven methods were used to increase sustainability. How can farmers, foresters or fishermen use these insights in their daily lives? The authors answer this and other questions for our readers. The first four parts of this book give an overview of the big data technologies relevant for optimal raw material gathering. The next three parts put these technologies into perspective, by showing useable applications from farming, forestry and fishery. The final part of this book gives a summary and a view on the future. With its broad outlook and variety of topics, this book is an enrichment for students and scientists in bioeconomy, biodiversity and renewable resources.
