The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The increasing world population inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens us with the potential to encounter a shortage of energy...

This book focuses on the quantitative assessment of environmental and human health risks which are usually evaluated by the ecological risk assessment which is the process for evaluating how likely it is that the environment might be obstructed as a...

La reconquête des friches urbaines est un livre unique sur un sujet trop peu traité, qui intéressera tous les lecteurs concernés par l'architecture, l'immobilier et l'urbanisme. Il illustre un parcours de recherche sur les friches urbaines et...

Jusqu'en 1975, l'écologie était la défense de la nature, mise en péril par l'homme. Puis arriva l'affaire de Cour-sur-Heure, où un homme seul, Paul de Métairy (nommé Paul Verhoeven à l'époque), se dressa pour défendre la population régionale contre un...

Water scarcity is a known issue for billions of people around the world and the latest research has predicted that this crisis will only get worse.  Through my own research, I understand that water has memory, water is alive, it could be happy and...

This manual is the first of the sort, describing the use of the new portable digital microscopes for analysis of archaeological ceramics in the field or in the laboratory. It is presented like a geology atlas, with a description of the most common...

"In a pamphlet saturated in colour,  Damien Donnelly takes us on an immersive   journey through a landscape of pigments. Written with great lyricism and emotional intensity, these poems contrast darker hues with...
