"Community Resilience in Natural Disasters uncovers the voices of people in the eye of the storm, the swirl of tsunami waves, and the dust of the drought - people who have not only survived but joined community efforts to cope with and adapt to the crisis. These communities tell us how aid agencies, the media, and government support or weaken communities ? As natural disasters affect more and more people, the answer to this question provides vital knowledge - not just for relevant organisations but for all of us who one day may face disaster and need some help to help themselves"

Sommes-nous sur terre, comme on l'affirme si souvent, dans le seul but de servir notre propre survie et nos intérêts personnels ? Dans ce livre stimulant, Frans de Waal remet magistralement en cause le comportement égoïste et l'esprit de compétition souvent présentés comme conformes aux théories de l'évolution mais en réalité bien moins naturels que le don d'empathie, qui n'est pas l'apanage exclusif des humains. Nourri d'histoires animales aussi extraordinaires qu'émouvantes, L'Age de l'empathie, en mettant la coopération au coeur de l'évolution des espèces, ouvre des perspectives passionnantes sur la nécessaire solidarité dans nos sociétés.

Le don est un objet privilégié de l'anthropologie et de la sociologie depuis l'Essai sur le don de Marcel Mauss. Dans la première partie, les principales notions de cet écrit (don, dette, obligation, échange) sont étudiées en lien avec l'engagement socialiste de Mauss. La deuxième partie traite du don chez Lévi-Strauss, Lefort, Derrida et dans l'ethnologie de la Kabylie (Maunier, Bourdieu). Puis on définit le don en le différenciant d'autres transferts de biens : impôt, amende, échange, marché, par la discussion de textes de Hobbes, Wittgenstein, J. R. Searle, M. Godelier, Alain Testart. On aboutit à une classification générale des transferts de biens. La troisième partie enquête sur la nécessité et l'universalité du don, compare les transferts de biens entre humains aux transferts de ressources dans les sociétés animales, et examine la possibilité de naturaliser le don

What do Wikipedia, Zip Car's business model, Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and a small group of lobster fishermen have in common' They all show the power and promise of human cooperation in transforming our businesses, our government, and our society at large. Because today, when the costs of collaborating are lower than ever before, there are no limits to what we can achieve by working together. For centuries, we as a society have operated according to a very unflattering view of human nature: that, humans are universally and inherently selfish creatures. As a result, our most deeply entrenched social structures ' our top-down business models, our punitive legal systems, our market-based approaches to everything from education reform to environmental regulation - have been built on the premise that humans are driven only by self interest, programmed to respond only to the invisible hand of the free markets or the iron fist of a controlling government.
