The botanical history of Britain and North West Europe has a dark and a light side. Plants have been used as weapons to harm people, taken deliberately as addictive drugs and also employed as tools in witchcraft and used as magical amulets. Yet many of these same plants have been medicinally vital to numerous European communities; as the author notes, frequently the only difference between a benevolent medicine and a poison is dosage. In this book, which is richly illustrated with modern colour photographs and illustrations from herbals, Robert Bevan-Jones brings together a wealth of documenta.

Les plantes, comme les animaux, accompagnent la vie des hommes. Ils ont changé comme nous ; a changé également la volonté de les connaître, et l’usage qui en est fait. Des animaux on le sait mieux, parce que l’histoire s’y est intéressée récemment, mais les plantes d’autrefois gardent beaucoup de leurs mystères. La rencontre de Florence, base de ce volume, a voulu ouvrir une série de fenêtres sur le monde végétal tel qu’il se forme avant l’industrialisation, dans les pays d’Europe et du pourtour méditerranéen. Le livre publié aujourd’hui présente ainsi plusieurs âges du savoir botanique ; il associe ce savoir à la science médicale et à la diététique du Moyen Age, confrontées aux savoirs de l’époque moderne. Mais à travers le monde végétal, c’est le rapport entre nature et culture qu’on interroge, en parcourant l’éventail des choix possibles pour les humains, de la contrainte au plaisir, de la nécessité à l’évasion.

How did humankind deal with the extreme challenges of the last Ice Age? How have the relatively benign post-Ice Age conditions affected the evolution and spread of humanity across the globe? By setting our genetic history in the context of climate change during prehistory, the origin of many features of our modern world are identified and presented in this illuminating book. It reviews the aspects of our physiology and intellectual development that have been influenced by climatic factors, and how features of our lives - diet, language and the domestication of animals - are also the product of the climate in which we evolved. In short: climate change in prehistory has in many ways made us what we are today. Climate Change in Prehistory weaves together studies of the climate with anthropological, archaeological and historical studies, and will fascinate all those interested in the effects of climate on human development and history.

Les études actuelles sur les « noms de famille », loin de se borner au seul terrain de la généalogie, font désormais pleinement partie du domaine de la recherche. Elles permettent de ce fait un décryptage original des conditions tant historiques qu’anthropologiques qui ont déclenché, en divers points de l’Europe, à différents moments, le processus d’identification des personnes : mouvement progressif dans l’Europe au Moyen Âge ; processus qui peut être coercitif, comme lors de l’attribution de patronymes aux esclaves affranchis, et devenu largement réglementaire après la promulgation de lois sur la transmission des noms. Étudiant tour à tour les origines et l’histoire des patronymes, leur distribution géographique et les liens entre marqueurs génétiques et patronymiques, les auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage – anthropologues, historiens de la famille, démographes, spécialistes de la génétique des populations, sociologues – montrent combien une approche pluridisciplinaire est nécessaire à l’explication du phénomène du patronyme. En effet, l’informatisation récente de divers registres de noms de famille a permis le développement de nouvelles méthodes d’analyse, dérivées de la démographie historique et de la génétique des populations. Elles permettent non seulement de décrire l’évolution, au fil des générations, des cercles de mariage, des règles d’alliance et de la consanguinité, mais aussi de quantifier la direction et l’ampleur des migrations entre populations. Fondé sur des exemples concrets, des provinces baltes à la Sardaigne ou l’Atlas marocain, des Flamands de France aux Français du Québec, cet ouvrage offre un état sans équivalent de la question des origines et de l’évolution du patronyme.

Environment and Society in the Long Late Antiquity brings together scientific, archaeological and historical evidence on the interplay of social change and environmental phenomena at the end of Antiquity and the dawn of the Middle Ages, covering the period circa 300-800 AD. It gives a new impetus to the study of the environmental history of this crucial period of transition between two major epochs in premodern history. The volume contains both systematic overviews of the previous scholarship and available data, as well as a number of interdisciplinary case studies. It covers a wide range of topics, including the histories of landscape, climate, disease and earthquakes, all intertwined with social, cultural, economic and political developments.
