Sommario/riassunto

Cette réédition de l’ouvrage de Pierre George, publié en 1951 par l’Ined, témoigne de la nécessaire intégration des savoirs de plusieurs disciplines. Pierre George a su enrichir la géographie classique française, dès l’après-guerre, d’une réelle ouverture vers des processus économiques et politiques jusque-là peu explorés par les géographes français. Sa pensée claire et rigoureuse, son écriture précise et concise procurent encore aujourd’hui un réel plaisir de lecture. Sa vigueur intellectuelle et sa perspicacité se manifestent au mieux dans l’un de ses thèmes de prédilection, la géographie de la population. Avant la lettre, Pierre George a réellement pratiqué une démarche interdisciplinaire, intégrant avec subtilité les concepts et les méthodes de plusieurs sciences sociales. Il propose un parcours dont on dirait aujourd’hui qu’il déconstruit les idées reçues. Il tient à identifier les processus par lesquels les éléments du milieu contraignent ou sont utilisés par les populations, avec une vision spatio-­temporelle détaillée qui lui permet de traquer « l’illusion des explications



mécanistes ». Il enrichit les notions classiques en y intégrant des processus dynamiques et historiques. Il affirme une position qui donne la priorité aux processus sociaux dans l’explication des inégalités de répartition de la population, en excluant un trop grand déterminisme par les conditions physiques et en soulignant la grande variété des adaptations réalisées par les sociétés humaines, dans leurs choix comme dans leurs utilisations des ressources et du potentiel des technologies, existantes, « latentes », ou futures. Cette réédition est introduite par une Invitation à la lecture de Denise Pumain, professeure émérite de renommée internationale spécialiste de la modélisation en sciences sociales et de l’urbanisation.

Sommario/riassunto

Food Fraud provides an overview of the current state on the topic to help readers understand which products are being impacted, how pervasive food fraud is, and what laws are in effect across the developed world. As international food trade increases, food processors, distributors, and consumers are purchasing more and more food from foreign countries that, in many cases, have inadequate oversight or control over what is coming into our supermarkets, restaurants, and refrigerators. This book is an essential quick reference that will familiarize readers with the latest issues surrounding the food industry.
