Abstract

Het boek bevat behalve een historische kroniek over het Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Vlaanderen (de belangrijkste geldschieter voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek) een reeks van 14 portretten van de belangrijkste Vlaamse onderzoekers. De portretten werden opgetekend door de wetenschapsjournalist Jan van Pelt. Het boek is ruim geïllustreerd. Koning Albert I hield in 1927 een toespraak waarin hij opriep om in België meer te investeren in de 'zuivere wetenschap als onmisbare voorwaarde voor de toegepaste wetenschap'. In navolging daarvan werd in 1928 het Nationaal Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk onderzoek (NFWO) opgericht. Sinds de jaren 1990 werd het NFWO opgesplitst in het Vlaamse FWO en het Franstalige FNRS. Van bij zijn start heeft het (N)FWO duizenden onderzoekers en projecten gesteund en miljoenen euro's kunnen vrijmaken om fundamenteel wetenschappelijk onderzoek op basis van excellentie te bevorderen. Bij de 80ste verjaardag wil het FWO met KENNISMAKERS een balans opmaken. Veertien Vlaamse professoren die allen een Methusalemdotatie krijgen, komen aan het woord. Opgetekend door journalist Jan Van Pelt spreken deze topwetenschappers over de lange weg die werd afgelegd en de grote uitdagingen die hun wetenschapsdisciplines te wachten staat. Herman Balthazar maakt een historisch overzicht van deze periode.

Abstract

La revue Natures Sciences Sociétés a pour vocation d'accueillir tout texte traitant des rapports que l'homme entretient avec la nature, que ce soit à travers les représentations qu'il en a, les usages qu'il en fait, les transformations qu'il provoque dans les processus biophysicochimiques dont sa vie dépend, les conséquences qu'il subit en retour de ces transformations et la façon dont il y fait face. Dans cette perspective, l'homme peut être considéré soit en tant qu'individu, soit à travers les ensembles sociaux caractérisés (groupes sociaux, populations, cultures, etc.), soit globalement en tant qu'espèce. Cette couverture thématique requiert une grande diversité de disciplines (science de la nature, de la vie, de la société et de l'ingénieur) et de démarches de recherche.

Abstract

This volume in the highly respected Cambridge History of Science series is devoted to the history of science in the Middle Ages from the North Atlantic to the Indus Valley. Medieval science was once universally dismissed as non-existent - and sometimes it still is. This volume reveals the diversity of goals, contexts and accomplishments in the study of nature during the Middle Ages. Organized by topic and culture, its essays by distinguished scholars offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date history of medieval science currently available. Intended to provide a balanced and inclusive treatment of the medieval world, contributors consider scientific learning and advancement in the cultures associated with the Arabic, Greek, Latin and Hebrew languages. Scientists, historians and other curious readers will all gain a new appreciation for the study of nature during an era that is often misunderstood.

Abstract

At a time when the international community is devoting significant attention to the issue of governance as a key factor in global environmental decline, this book provides a timely insight into the relationships between extreme conflict, the international trade in forest products, and the social, economic and environmental condition of tropical forests and their human communities. Drawing on the expertise of both natural and social scientists, Extreme Conflict and Tropical Forests explores the underlying causes and the social and environmental consequences of conflict in tropical forest areas. Case studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America present a range of issues – from illicit crops and ‘conflict timber’ production, to the potential of peace parks for improving human security, social quality and biodiversity conservation. With implications for specific aspects of security, environment, development, forest policy and international relations, this book will be an important resource for both students and researchers exploring these issues – as well as a useful background for practitioners and policy makers working in these fields.

Abstract

L'origine des pharmacopées traditionnelles L'élaboration des pharmacopées Les médicaments du XXIe siècle Comment les connaissances des savoirs thérapeutiques se sont-elles transmises au travers des différentes cultures ? Cet ouvrage innovant, qui réunit les travaux présentés au 4e Congrès européen d'ethnopharmacologie, fait remonter à la préhistoire les sources des connaissances thérapeutiques. Si les pharmacopées écrites jalonnent l'histoire des grandes médecines savantes, d'autres modes d'accès à la connaissance semblent exister dans l'univers chamanique des sociétés de tradition orale ainsi que dans la façon dont les animaux malades se soignent par les plantes. L'évaluation des propriétés pharmaco-toxicologiques et chimiques des plantes d'usage traditionnel devrait par ailleurs favoriser le développement futur des médicaments à base de plantes, l'un des thèmes porteurs abordés dans cet ouvrage. Mais l'objectif de ce livre est aussi de susciter, partout dans le monde, de nouvelles thématiques de recherche dans le domaine de la préhistoire du médicament et de la compréhension de l'acquisition et de la transmission du savoir. Le développement du phytomédicament non toxique destiné à l'homme et à l'animal figure également parmi les enjeux majeurs de demain. The origin of traditional pharmacopoeias The development of pharmacopoeias The medicines of the XXIth century How have the traditional Therapeutical knowledges been transmited to the différent cultures? This innovating book containing the proceedings of the 4th European Congress of Ethnopharmacology return to prehistory the sources of fherapeutical knowledge and asks how the animals cure themselves with plants. If the printing pharmacopoeias ponctuate the history of learning medicines other way of accessibility to the knowledge seems exist in the world of shaman in society with oral tradition. Ethnopharmacological evaluation of traditional médicinal plant should favour the development of phytomedicine. The…
