Sommario/riassunto |

Dans ce Nouveau Voyage aux Indes orientales, commencé en 1786 et terminé en 1813, Sonnerat se propose d’offrir au public les renseignements qu’il a glanés pendant ses années de pérégrinations et de recherches à l’intérieur de ce pays et ainsi de rassembler les connaissances des Européens sur l’Inde de son temps. Éveilleur d’idées, il apporte sa contribution à l'histoire naturelle et ouvre les voies à la géographie physique (morphologie, climatologie, étude des sols, hydrographie) et à la géographie humaine. De cette façon il montre les rapports de l’homme indien avec les conditions du milieu dans lesquelles il se trouve et en étudiant les ressources agricoles, industrielles et commerciales des régions qu’il habite et du parti qu’il en a tiré. Le manuscrit de ce texte, dont on avait perdu la trace depuis 1816, a été retrouvé récemment en Australie à la bibliothèque Mitchell de Sydney. In this New Journey to East India, begun in 1786 and completed in 1813, Sonnerat sets out tofurnish his readers with the information that he has gleaned through years of travel and research in that country and at the same time to gather together Contemporary European knowledge about India. A Stimulator of ideas, he makes a contribution of his own to knowledge about natural history, and opens |

the way for the study of physical geography (morphology, climatology, soil survey, hydrography) and human geography. In doing so, he describes the relationship of Indian people with their surroundings by studying the agricultural, industrial and commercial resources of the areas they inhabit and the benefits that they draw from them. The manuscript of this text, which has been untraceable since 1816, was found recently at the Mitchell Library in Sydney, Australia. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides an important new contribution to debates around housing policy and its impact on community cohesion. There has never been a more prescient time to discuss these concepts: the book provides an interpretation of housing, race and community cohesion in a highly politicized and fluid policy context. It is designed to initiate discussion and debate but this should not be esoteric and limited to a group of academics. Rather the objective is to bridge academic and policy audiences in the hope that this fusion provides a basis for a new agenda to discuss these topics. Rac |
