This book brings together various texts on the shared nature of living environments. It is based on the idea that it is through reflection on the universal that we will be able to ensure the resilience and sustainability of socio-ecosystems. This requires a new conception of the universal, in order to define the living environment on the basis of three notions: individuals, species and environments. Comment partager les milieux vivants de manière à ce que chaque individu humain et autre qu’humain y trouve sa place, puisse y faire son milieu ? Penser les milieux vivants en commun engage une réflexion sur l’universel : tout individu vit dans un milieu. Mais cela engage une nouvelle conception de l’universel décentrée de l’humain et refondée dans les milieux vivants (qui incluent l’espèce humaine). Approcher l’universel des milieux vivants, c’est penser un sujet collectif et politique qui a des droits (pour les individus humains et autres qu’humains) et des devoirs (pour les individus humains seulement, selon la règle du pollueur-payeur car seuls les humains détruisent l’habitabilité et la cohabitabilité du monde). Les droits de ce sujet collectif se résument à un seul : le droit de vivre dans un monde durable et même désirable par sa qualité de vie ; et les devoirs eux aussi se résument à un seul : le devoir de protéger la cohabitabilité de ce monde, la coexistence d’individus humains et autres qu’humains qui pourront tous y déployer leur style de vie et leur projet de vie en termes de situation et de liberté.

For James Barilla and his family, the dream of transforming their Columbia, South Carolina, backyard into a haven for wildlife evoked images of kids catching grasshoppers by day and fireflies at night, of digging up potatoes and picking strawberries. When they signed up with the National Wildlife Federation to certify their yard as a wildlife habitat, it felt like pushing back, in however small a way, against the tide of bad news about vanishing species, changing climate, dying coral reefs. Then the animals started to arrive, and Barilla soon discovered the complexities (and possible mayhem) of merging human with animal habitats. What are the limits of coexistence, he wondered? To find out, Barilla set out across continents to explore cities where populations of bears, monkeys, marmosets, and honeybees live alongside human residents. My Backyard Jungle brings these unique stories together, making Barilla's yard the centerpiece of a meditation on possibilities for coexistence with animals in an increasingly urban world. Not since Gerald Durrell penned My Family and Other Animals have readers encountered a naturalist with such a gift for storytelling and such an open heart toward all things wild.

In spite of the harsh conditions that characterize the Arctic, it is a surprisingly fragile ecosystem. The exploration for oil in the Arctic over the past 30 years has had profound effects on the plants and animals that inhabit this frozen clime. The Natural History of an Arctic Oil Field synthesizes decades of research on these myriad impacts. Specialists with years of field experience have contributed to this volume to create the first widely available synopsis of the ecology and wildlife biology of animals and plants living in close association with an actively producing oil field.
