Le ciel ne nous tombera pas sur la tête [French]

By Brunel Sylvie, Pitte Jean-Robert (dir.) and Sylvie Brunel Jean-Robert Pitte

For a long time, geographers have refuted the doomsday sayers who base their sensationalist declarations on the research and predictions of certain specialists who are often isolated in their own field and refuse to admit the evolutionary reality of our planet. These geographers do not deny that profound environmental changes are taking place, nor do they deny the responsibilities of human society. What they contend is that the speed of technological progress provides us with many ways to adapt to the natural evolutions. They further claim that man can even profit from these changes, stop, or considerably slow down, some of their more destructive consequences and restore some of the deterioration that has been considered up to now irreversible. Global warming, the rising levels of the oceans, pollution, biodiversity, overpopulation, sustainable energy... are just a few of the subjects covered in this essential work, written by France's most renowned geographers.
