Sommario/riassunto |
|
This captivating book, laced with evocative anecdotes from the field, gives the first holistic, up-to-date overview of dinosaurs and their world for a wide audience of readers. Situating these fascinating animals in a broad ecological and evolutionary context, leading dinosaur expert Scott D. Sampson fills us in on the exhilarating discoveries of the past twenty-five years, the most active period in the history of dinosaur paleontology, during which more "new" species were named than in all prior history. With these discoveries-and the most recent controversies-in mind, Sampson reconstructs the odyssey |

of the dinosaurs from their humble origins on the supercontinent Pangaea, to their reign as the largest animals the planet has ever known, and finally to their abrupt demise. Much more than the story of who ate whom way back when, Dinosaur Odyssey places dinosaurs in an expansive web of relationships with other organisms and demonstrates how they provide a powerful lens through which to observe the entire natural world. Addressing topics such as extinction, global warming, and energy flow, Dinosaur Odyssey finds that the dinosaurs' story is, in fact, a major chapter in our own story. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Un aliment sain dans un corps sain : au cœur des préoccupations actuelles, les liens qu’entretiennent le corps, l’alimentation et la santé ont une longue histoire. Souvent considérées sous leurs rapports antagonistes, dans le cadre (réel ou supposé) des peurs et des pathologies qui ont l’alimentation pour origine, les relations entre nourritures, corps et santé doivent également être envisagées à travers l’émergence d’un souci de soi qui se manifeste par une certaine idée du corps, de son esthétique, de sa représentation et du bien-être corporel en général. Entre les attentes, les désirs, les habitudes mais aussi les craintes des consommateurs, les discours, les normes et les réglementations médicales, civiles, politiques et religieuses, quels rôles, quels effets sur le corps attribue-t-on à l’alimentation et à quelles pratiques ces conceptions donnent-elles naissance au cours des siècles ? Dégager des évolutions dans le cadre d’une réflexion pluridisciplinaire : ce livre traite d’une Histoire qui s’inscrit dans la longue durée. |
