"With its clear and conversational writing style, comprehensive coverage, and sophisticated presentation, "Marine Biology: Function, Biodiversity, Ecology", Sixth Edition, is regarded by many as the most authoritative marine biology text. Over the course of six editions, Jeffrey Levinton has balanced his organismal and ecological focus by including the latest developments on molecular biology, global climate change, and ocean processes."--

Le bruit en mer lié au développement des activités maritimes constitue une menace pour la protection de la faune marine, notamment des mammifères. Il représente une préoccupation croissante des administrations, françaises et étrangères, et des organisations internationales (Nations unies, Organisation maritime internationale, Union européenne, Sanctuaire Pelagos). La société civile s'est également emparée de la question (ONG oeuvrant pour la protection de l'environnement), de même que les acteurs économiques porteurs de solutions technologiques.Forte de ce constat, l'université de Toulon a souhaité réunir différents représentants de la « communauté » du bruit en mer le temps d'un colloque destiné à susciter des interactions interdisciplinaires entre chercheurs, autorités administratives, membres de la société civile et acteurs économiques en vue de dégager des solutions pour concilier développement des activités maritimes et protection de la faune marine. Cet ouvrage dresse un état de la recherche sur le bruit en mer - sous-marin et en surface - et ses effets sur la faune marine en vue de mesurer les efforts qui restent à déployer pour réduire les émissions acoustiques d'origine anthropique et limiter leurs impacts sur le milieu marin. Cette synthèse a mobilisé une trentaine de spécialistes reconnus pour leur expertise et formant une communauté d'acteurs issus d'horizons divers, mués par le souci de protéger le milieu marin de cette forme de pollution complexe à saisir.Ce livre est destiné aux scientifiques, chercheurs, étudiants et enseignants, ainsi qu'aux techniciens et acteurs, publics, privés et de la société civile, impliqués ou intéressés par la question du bruit en mer.

This book represents the first monograph on the philosopher, economist and sociologist Emil Lederer (1882-1939). Director of the Archiv für Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik from 1922 to 1933, he was then forced to move to the United States to avoid persecution as a Jew (despite his conversion to Catholicism in 1908) and a socialist. There he became the Dean of the so-called 'University in Exile' at the New School for Social Research in New York. After sketching an updated picture of his intellectual biography and of the reception of his major works, the volume focuses on the issue of political order, and notably on the relationship between State and society. Before the outbreak of the First World War, Lederer was confident of being able to find a composition between State and the plurality of society, relying on the mediation skills of the middle classes. The First World War put in evidence certain contradictions of the modern liberal state that were intrinsic in its very origins; the State proves to be able to lose its connection with the structural plurality of society, becoming an abstract organisation, in Lederer's words rising definitively to the status of an 'abstract sovereignty'. This paves the way for the possibility of conceiving a political order no longer based on the connection between society and State, as in the liberal and constitutional tradition, but on a direct relationship between the leader and the masses. Such a relationship relies on the former's continuous ability to activate the emotions of the masses, and has no need for the internal reasoning typical of the dialectic between society and political institutions. According to Lederer, this will be the hallmark of the totalitarian State, analysed in his last, unfinished book, State of the masses (1939).

Le développement de l'éolien en mer fait aujourd'hui débat. Les effets possiblement préjudiciables des pollutions sonores sur la vie marine font partie des préoccupations légitimes de la société civile, de l'industrie et des instances politiques. Ce livre, qui réunit des experts de diverses disciplines, fait le point sur les connaissances scientifiques relatives à l'impact acoustique des projets éoliens offshore sur la faune marine et aux méthodes permettant de les réduire. Il s'inscrit dans le contexte d'un développement attendu des projets d'énergies marines renouvelables (EMR) et met l'accent sur l'impact du bruit des travaux en mer utiles à la construction, au fonctionnement et au démantèlement des éoliennes offshore sur divers compartiments de la faune marine (mammifères marins, poissons, invertébrés, oiseaux et tortues). Cet ouvrage est destiné aux professionnels des études d'impacts, chercheurs, étudiants, industriels des EMR, ainsi qu'aux responsables territoriaux et membres d'association de protection de la nature.
