Product description

Dans la vie quotidienne, de nombreuses activités nécessitent des échanges, des négociations ou des transactions. Parce que les sciences sociales négligeaient l'importance de ces actes courants, leur dimension conflictuelle était perçue comme irrationnelle, nuisible ou pathologique. Le concept de transaction sociale, au coeur de l'ouvrage, comble ce manque. Cet ouvrage rend hommage au sociologue de la transaction sociale, Maurice Blanc, ainsi qu'à ses prédécesseurs : Jean Remy et Liliane Voyé.
Ce volume analyse trois niveaux de concessions rCe volume analyse trois niveaux de concessions réciproques, ou de transactions. D'abord, celles entre individus et groupes sociaux qui cohabitent dans un même espace, avec leurs cultures et leurs modes de vie : agriculteurs et chasseurs, Roms et habitants de la banlieue, etc. Ces transactions permettent de sortir du conflit entre " bons " et " mauvais " voisins. Ensuite, les transactions entre gouvernants et gouvernés, quelquefois avec la médiation d'intervenants sociaux. Enfin, dans les coalitions au pouvoir, municipales ou associatives, les transactions qui débouchent sur des compromis pratiques, malgré les désaccords sur les valeurs. Sans transactions sociales, la démocratie et le développement durable restent des coquilles vides.
Chez le même éditeur, un autre volume se concentre sur les transactions dans les champs du travail et de la formation.

Bill Gates is one of the few super-rich who actually seems to feel some responsibilty attached to his wealth and is currently trying his best to get the world vaccinated. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that he feels strongly enough about the climate crisis to publish a book about it. It's a pleasantly solution-minded approach: he sets out in detail what exactly needs to be achieved and which, in his opinion, is the best way to do so. Clearly enthusiastic about the developing technology, Gates largely puts his faith in scientific funding and advancement. His optimism here comes across as highly knowledgable and justified, only tampered by his lack of plan when it comes to political cooperation. Here though, a lot of the initiative when it comes to tackling the climate crisis has floundered and been torpedoed by other interests. Let's hope Gate's book goes some way in opening politicians eyes everywhere.
The book that launched a publishing obsession. Isabella Tree's account of her and her husband's transformation of his family estate into a 'rewilded' oasis for flora and fauna is only a few years old yet has proven such a hit that other publishers have raced to put out their own books on wilding/rewilding.
This is with good reason. Once you get over the fact that Tree and her husband just happen to own thousand of acres of the best and most beautiful countryside in Britain, you discover this is a book filled with fascinating nuggets about what best to do with the countryside in the climate crisis and how to think about natural history in different ways. Among the biggest revelations to me was Tree's scepticism about the idea that closed canopy forests had once covered the whole of the UK. Her point being that if they did, there would have been no sustenance for large grazing animals. There is much much more to learn in the book itself!
