Human-environment interaction (HEI) provides a framework that brings together scholarship sharing both disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary scope to examine past, present, and future social and environmental change in different parts of the world. This volume brings senior and junior scholars together, and in so doing connects these historically influential traditions to new and cutting-edge approaches that give us a glimpse into current and future trends in interdisciplinary science of human-environment interaction. The volume offers a microcosm of contemporary HEI research in terms of thematic, theory and methodology, level of analysis, and regional coverage.   Drawing on research from eleven countries across four continents, the 16 chapters in the volume bring perspectives from various specialties in anthropology and human ecology, institutional analysis, historical and political ecology, geography, archaeology, and land change sciences. The four sections of the volume reflect complementary approaches to HEI: health and adaptation approaches, land change and landscape management approaches, institutional and political-ecology approaches, and historical and archaeological approaches.

This book takes a multi-disciplinary and critical look at what has changed over the last ten years in one of the world's most important and dynamic ecosystems, the Amazon floodplain or várzea. It also looks forward, assessing the trends that will determine the fate of environments and people of the várzea over the next ten years and providing crucial information that is needed to formulate strategies for confronting these looming realities. The volume includes the latest research and analysis from a broad range of scientists who know the várzea best. It is dedicated to the memory of José Márcio Ayres, one of Brazil's greatest natural scientists and a pioneer in várzea research and conservation.

Le monde contemporain doit affronter plusieurs défis majeurs : deux d'entre eux apparaissent particulièrement prégnants et pour certains contradictoires ; il s'agit, d'une part du développement des agro-ressources pour faire face aux besoins alimentaires d'une population mondiale de plus en plus nombreuse et aux besoins énergétiques également croissants, d'autre part de la nécessité de préserver des écosystèmes particulièrement fragilisés, du fait notamment des activités humaines de production intensive. Cet ouvrage collectif analyse ce dilemme et apporte des réponses positives. Après avoir situé les enjeux internationaux du management environnemental et des agro-ressources, sont analysés successivement les discours, outils et pratiques du management environnemental, la gestion des territoires agricoles et ruraux et les flux économiques dans une perspective de développement durable. Enfin, quelques applications industrielles des agro-ressources sont présentées, à l'exemple du pole de compétitivité IAR (Industrie et agro-ressources) Champagne-Picardie. L'ouvrage est en effet issu d'un « École doctorale internationale d'été » qui s'est tenue à Amiens et Paris, en juillet 2010, à l'initiative de l'université de Picardie Jules Verne, en partenariat avec l'université de Paris Dauphine et les réseaux scientifiques internationaux RIODD (Réseau international de recherche sur les organisations et le développement durable) et IFSAM (International Federation of Scholary Associations of Management) et avec l'appui de plusieurs institutions (Académie d'agriculture, Ministère français de l'enseignement supérieur MESR-DREIC, pôle de compétitivité IAR, Région Picardie)
