"Terrestrial Mammal Conservation provides a thorough summary of the available scientific evidence of what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of all of the conservation actions for wild terrestrial mammals across the world (excluding bats and primates, which are covered in separate synopses). Actions are organized into categories based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifications of direct threats and conservation actions. Over the course of fifteen chapters, the authors consider interventions as wide ranging as creating uncultivated margins around fields, prescribed burning, setting hunting quotas and removing non-native mammals. This book is written in an accessible style and is designed to be an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with the practical conservation of terrestrial mammals. The authors consulted an international group of terrestrial mammal experts and conservationists to produce this synopsis. Funding was provided by the MAVA Foundation, Arcadia and National Geographic Big Cats Initiative. Terrestrial Mammal Conservation is the seventeenth publication in the Conservation Evidence Series, linked to the online resource www.ConservationEvidence.com. Conservation Evidence Synopses are designed to promote a more evidence-based approach to biodiversity conservation. Others in the series include Bat Conservation, Primate Conservation, Bird Conservation and Forest Conservation and more are in preparation. Expert assessment of the evidence summarised within synopses is provided online and within the annual publication What Works in Conservation."

"Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa comprehensively explores the challenges and potential solutions to key conservation issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. Easy to read, this lucid and accessible textbook includes fifteen chapters that cover a full range of conservation topics, including threats to biodiversity, environmental laws, and protected areas management, as well as related topics such as sustainability, poverty, and human-wildlife conflict. This rich resource also includes a background discussion of what conservation biology is, a wide range of theoretical approaches to the subject, and concrete examples of conservation practice in specific African contexts. Strategies are outlined to protect biodiversity whilst promoting economic development in the region. Boxes covering specific themes written by scientists who live and work throughout the region are included in each chapter, together with recommended readings and suggested discussion topics. Each chapter also includes an extensive bibliography. Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa provides the most up-to-date study in the field. It is an essential resource, available on-line without charge, for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a handy guide for professionals working to stop the rapid loss of biodiversity in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. Visit the 'Additional Resources' section to find out more about how to download individual chapters and images, upload material to the teaching platform that will be launched in the forthcoming months or join the textbook's discussion forum."--Publisher's website

Cet ouvrage, se propose de reprendre, à partir de l'exemple des Monts du Lyonnais, deux des principales questions que se sont posées les ethnologues et les spécialistes de l'habitat rural depuis le début du siècle : comment se constitue un type architectural, particulièrement marqué dans les Monts du Lyonnais - bâtiments disposés en U, aux proportions très régulières, dans lesquels la disposition des pièces et des espaces suivait des règles étonnamment précises et scrupuleusement suivies ? De quelles valeurs sociales procède la maison, et comment relier les formes de l'architecture vernaculaire avec la production symbolique et les usages sociaux ?

Forty researchers and students gathered on November 27, 2018 for a simposion organized by the ARTEHIS "Landscape Factory" axis. We were gathered around the question of the formation of villages and more broadly of issues specific to the study of grouped habitats from the early medieval period. The communications made it possible to report on the diversity of approaches as well as advances in research in the Center-East. It is through the prism of chronological or regional syntheses, case studies resulting from preventive as programmed research or methodological reflections that the work of the various speakers fortunately supplemented by exchanges and remarks by the members of the audience put in particular the accent - again! - on the difficulties encountered in the characterization of the habitats uncovered, despite constantly updated field documentation. The debates were particularly interested in the contributions as at the limits of archeology concerning this problematic. The role of the church and the cemetery as well as that of the elites in the polarization of the habitat were repeatedly raised throughout the discussions. The questions of sustainability and the fixity of human occupations were also widely discussed, such as the nature of the specific activities grouped in dedicated sectors and their place in the village economy. Questions of settlement organization and terms of land use were also discussed and the importance of physical geography in the establishment of networks of habitats was underlined. In fact, there is numerous factors determining the human landscape in which the village is integrated
