The identification and analysis of the particular habitat needs of a species has always been a central focus of research and applied conservation in both ecology and wildlife biology. Although these two academic communities have developed quite separately over many years, there is now real value in attempting to unify them to allow better communication and awareness by practitioners and students from each discipline. Despite the recent dramatic increase in the types of quantitative methods for conducting habitat analyses, there is no single reference that simultaneously explains and compares all these new techniques. This accessible textbook provides the first concise, authoritative resource that clearly presents these emerging methods together and demonstrates how they can be applied to data using statistical methodology, whilst putting the decades-old pursuit of analyzing habitat into historical context. "Habitat Ecology and Analysis" is written for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in wildlife ecology, conservation biology, and habitat ecology as well as professional ecologists, wildlife biologists, conservation biologists, and land managers requiring an accessible overview of the latest methodology.

"The first field guide to all of the world's major land habitats-richly illustrated and packed with essential information to help you get the most out of your outdoor adventures. Accurately identifying and understanding habitats in detail is essential to any birder, naturalist, outdoors enthusiast, or ecologist who wants to get the most out of their experiences in the field. Habitats of the World is the first field guide to the world's major land habitats-189 in all. Using the format of a natural history field guide, this compact, accessible, and comprehensive book features concise identification descriptions and is richly illustrated-including more than 650 color photographs of habitats and their wildlife, 150 distribution maps, 200 diagrams, and 150 silhouettes depicting each habitat alongside a human figure, providing an immediate grasp of its look and scale. Each major habitat has an illustrated "climate box" that allows easy comparisons between habitats. Thirty other illustrated boxes present clear explanations of complex phenomena affecting habitats-from plate tectonics and mountain formation to fire regimes and climate change. Requiring no scientific background, Habitats of the World offers quick and reliable information for anyone who wants a deeper understanding and appreciation of the habitats around them, whether in their own backyard or while traveling anywhere in the world. Covers 189 of the world's major land habitats. Provides all the information you need to quickly and accurately identify and understand habitats anywhere in the world. Features concise text, more than 650 color photographs of habitats and their wildlife, an up-to-date distribution map for each habitat, and hundreds of helpful diagrams and illustrations"--

L'empreinte énergétique des bâtiments conventionnels pèse lourdement sur l'avenir de la planète, il est temps pour notre société d'engager les évolutions réellement nécessaires afin de mieux la préserver, tout en prenant davantage en considération le bien-être de l'habitant. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage s'attachent à démontrer l'intérêt de la construction passive : grâce à elle, économiser l'énergie et respecter le climat cessent d'être une injonction pour devenir un confort. En effet, par ses seules qualités constructives, la rigueur et l'optimisation de sa conception et de sa réalisation, un bâtiment passif assure sa propre régulation thermique et climatique, sans nécessiter l'installation d'un chauffage conventionnel (chaudière, radiateurs, etc.). Mieux, à l'inverse de la construction classique, la construction passive ne peut se contenter d'une qualité moyenne : elle exige l'excellence, sans pour autant imposer de surcoût. Ecrit pour un large public, cet ouvrage n'est pas un manuel technique mais un ouvrage d'explication, de réflexion et de proposition pour un véritable habitat durable. Il s'adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent construire, rénover ou améliorer le fonctionnement de leur lieu de vie ou de travail, mais aussi aux professionnels, experts et institutionnels du bâtiment. L'ouvrage s'articule autour de trois axes : un exposé pédagogique et documenté ; 25 inserts thématiques pour approfondir des aspects techniques ou réglementaires ; 10 études de cas présentent autant de vrais bâtiments passifs, construits et certifiés en France.
