Le présent ouvrage rend compte du colloque Continu et discontinu dans l’espace géographique tenu à la «Maison des Sciences de la Ville» de Tours en novembre 2002. On n’y lira pas le grand combat des « continuistes et des discontinuistes » mais une occasion de dialogue entre sciences de la nature et sciences sociales pour tenter de penser les deux concepts dans leur opposition, forme classique, et aussi dans leur complémentarité, ce qui est plus novateur. Au départ, un ensemble de travaux menées à l’initiative de Michel Lecompte autour du Bassin méditerranéen et dans les Alpes a ouvert la voie à une relecture de la géographique de la végétation aux échelles moyennes de l’espace biophysique. La « phytoclimatologie dynamique » qui en est issue a mis en lumière l’importance de l’analyse des configurations spatiales, du monde de variation - continu ou discontinu - des phénomènes biologiques et physiques dans l’espace géographique. Cette interrogation participe à celle de la géographie, considérée comme un tout, auquel d’autres champs de réflexion se trouvent, de fait, associés, puisque l’espace géographique n’est pas seulement affaire de géographes. De cette expérience, de la volonté d’en rendre compte à l’ensemble de la communauté des géographes et, au-delà, à tous ceux que l’organisation de l’espace géographique ne laisse pas indifférent, est ainsi né le désir de réunir les personnes qui ont pu se poser des questions semblables dans l’autres domaines que celui de la biogéographie. Après une longue introduction, l’ouvrage propose vingt textes de vingt-huit auteurs (surtout géographes mais aussi écologues, archéologue …). Les écrits sont certes variés puisque la géomorphologie fluviale côtoie l’urbain, la dimension technique la fête, la frontière les réseaux et la cartographie les représentations, mais toujours accordées au sujet, débordant largement du factuel pour proposer des réflexions riches. Le découpage en quatre parties permet un cheminement cohérent. D’abord,…

"Is the current form of globalization inevitable? Material Geographies shows that the present form of globalization has been actively 'made' by corporations, governments and international agencies, as well as through the combined efforts of many smaller actors." "Taking a range of different perspectives - from financial institutions to nation states, global migration to local identity - this is a vivid exposition of how globalization works at different scales. Unique in teaching literature with its focus on the non-human, it demonstrates how globalization can be understood geographically."--Jacket.

The research in this book on the geographical context of drug addiction contributes to better understanding the etiology of addiction, its diffusion, its interaction with geographically variable environmental, social, and economic factors, and the strategies for its treatment and prevention. This book explores links between geography and drug abuse and identifies research ideas, connections, and research pathways which point to some promising avenues for future work in this area. The topics explored in Geography and Drug Addiction include: Spatial patterns of drug use and addiction Linking spatial models with drug abuse research Interaction of social and environmental factors with biochemical processes of addiction Locational analyses of drug addiction treatment and service delivery facilities Neighborhood scale studies of geographic factors (including the built environment) and their interaction with drug addiction, treatment, or prevention Use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to better understanding and respond to drug addiction Spatial diffusion modeling of addictive drug usage and its changing characteristics, including also predictive modeling Social epidemiology and GIS This book will serve as an excellent resource to geographers and drug abuse researchers, including sociologists, epidemiologists, social scientists in general and public health researchers, both in policy and academia.
