Sommario/riassunto |

Tout au long de la longue histoire du Yémen islamique, les savants ont trouvé en certaines localités, parfois désignées sous le nom de Hiğra, un lieu privilégié pour la transmission de leurs savoirs. Le présent texte, traduit de l'arabe, constitue l'introduction générale à la vaste encyclopédie en cinq volumes que le cadi Ismā‘īl b. ‘Alī al-Akwa‘ leur a consacrés. During the long history of Islamic Yemen, scholars have found in certain places, sometimes called Hiğra, a favorable environment for teaching and learning. This book, translated from arabic, is the general introduction to the five-volumes encyclopaedia that has been devoted to theses "refuges of learning" by the late Yemeni scholar Cadi Ismā‘īl b. ‘Alī al-Akwa‘. |

Sommario/riassunto |

"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book."-Larry McMurtryIn 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants. A century later-in 1951-and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship between culture and its implementation as politics. In a new preface, she considers the continuities and changes of |

these invisible wars in the context of our current climate change crisis, and reveals how the long arm of these histories continue to inspire her writing and hope. |
