La Natura è al giorno d’oggi un valore assoluto: nella politica, nel turismo, nella religione, nel pensiero urbano, nel design, nei consumi, nell’alimentazione, nei media. I saggi che danno vita a questo volume mettono in dubbio tale valore assoluto. Agli occhi dei semiotici, la costruzione dell’effetto di “naturalità” rivela facilmente aspetti legati a una messa in opera di simbolizzazioni culturali, di connessioni a collettività e territori, di elaborazioni narrative.

"Aquatic Functional Biodiversity: An Ecological and Evolutionary Perspective provides a general conceptual framework by some of the most prominent investigators in the field for how to link eco-evolutionary approaches with functional diversity to understand and conserve the provisioning of ecosystem services in aquatic systems. Rather than producing another methodological book, the editors and authors primarily concentrate on defining common grounds, connecting conceptual frameworks and providing examples by a more detailed discussion of a few empirical studies and projects, which illustrate key ideas and an outline of potential future directions and challenges that are expected in this interdisciplinary research field. Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in using network approaches to disentangle the relationship between biodiversity, community structure and functioning. Novel methods for model construction are being developed constantly, and modern methods allow for the inclusion of almost any type of explanatory variable that can be correlated either with biodiversity or ecosystem functioning. As a result these models have been widely used in ecology, conservation and eco-evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, there remains a considerable gap on how well these approaches are feasible to understand the mechanisms on how biodiversity constrains the provisioning of ecosystem services. Defines common theoretical grounds in terms of terminology and conceptual issues Connects theory and practice in ecology and eco-evolutionary sciences Provides examples for successful biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service management."

La nature, à l'aube de la pensée, suscite l'inquiétude, l'effroi et l'admiration. Les premiers penseurs grecs n'ont considéré qu'elle. Socrate n'aime pas la campagne, il lui préfère la cité. Avec lui, la nature connaît une éclipse. La philosophie naît avec cette éclipse. Or, nous avons aujourd'hui besoin d'une philosophie de la nature. Nous ne pouvons plus nous contenter de réduire la nature à un objet. Les catastrophes écologiques, les enjeux biotechnologiques nous somment de comprendre la réalité de la nature sans céder aux simplifications.

This book describes the emergence of landscape ecology, its current status as a new integrative science, and how distinguished scholars in the field of landscape ecology view the future regarding new challenges and career opportunities. Over the past thirty years, landscape ecology has utilized development in technology and methodology (e.g., satellites, GIS, and systems technologists) to monitor large temporal-spatial scale events and phenomena. These events include changes in vegetative cover and composition due to both natural disturbance and human cause—changes that have academic, economic, political, and social manifestations.There is little doubt, due to the temporal-spatial scale of this integrative science, that scholars in fields of study ranging from anthropology to urban ecology will desire to compare their fields with landscape ecology during this intellectually and technologically fertile time. History of Landscape Ecology in the United States brings to light the vital role that landscape ecologists will play in the future as the human population continues to increase and fragment the natural environment. Landscape ecology is known as a synthesized intersection of disciplines; but new theories, concepts, and principles have emerged that form the foundation of a new transdiscipline.

La notion de nature et celle de naturel sont au croisement des questions actuelles, tant physiques et médicales, qu'éthiques, politiques ou artistiques. Après l'avènement de la philosophie du sujet dominant le monde, et face au progrès des technologies, en particulier médicales, que reste-t-il de la vision de la nature héritée de la pensée grecque? Quelle pertinence sa considération peut-elle avoir aujourd'hui? C'est ce que l'auteur se propose d'explorer, en faisant droit aux objections et aux difficultés, dans ce recueil d'analyses qui redécouvrent la nature non comme déterminisme biologique, mais comme tendance fondamentale, et qui s'efforcent de penser à nouveaux frais le fondement de la dignité des personnes.
