Of all the things humans rely on plants for - sustenance, beauty, medicine, fragrance, flavor, fiber - surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. Take coffee and tea: People around the world rely on caffeine to sharpen their minds. But we do not usually think of caffeine as a drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and socially acceptable.

C'est au cours de cet entretien avec Olivier Le Naire que Pierre Rabhi s'adresse aux autres, mais aussi à lui-même, comme il ne l'avait jamais fait jusqu'à présent. Il évoque au fil des pages son parcours et son action, ses plus belles rencontres ainsi que ses émerveillements, le tout à travers un regard rétrospectif voire autocritique. Les thèmes abordés sont aussi divers que la religion, l'amour, la vieillesse, le désarroi des jeunes, le sens de l'histoire, la non-violence, le travail, l'éducation, le statut de la femme.

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity; destroyed community; and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme - but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.

In Underland, Robert Macfarlane takes us on a journey into the worlds beneath our feet. From the ice-blue depths of Greenland's glaciers to the underground networks by which trees communicate, from Bronze Age burial chambers to the rock art of remote Arctic sea caves, this is a deep-time voyage into the planet's past and future.

A major audiobook about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes. Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.

At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings – who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Is a River Alive? takes the listener on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.

Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....

When Desert Solitaire was first published in 1968, it became the focus of a nationwide cult. Rude and sensitive. Thought-provoking and mystical. Angry and loving. Both Abbey and this book are all of these and more. Here, the legendary author of The Monkey Wrench Gang, Abbey's Road and many other critically acclaimed books vividly captures the essence of his life during three seasons as a park ranger in southeastern Utah.

Cinq ans après l'accord de Paris sur le climat, l'auteur constate un échec de l'entreprise. Il explique que les émissions mondiales de CO2 ont continué à augmenter, notamment à cause des pays tels que la Chine et l'Inde qui ne se sont engagés à rien. Selon lui, les dépenses consacrées à la transition écologique en Europe ne pourront rien faire face à l'explosion des émissions du tiers-monde. La température moyenne de la planète a augmenté d'environ 1°c depuis un siècle et demi.

Le best-seller de New-York Times pour la première fois en français en format audio ! Est-ce que c'est vrai qu'on est ce que l'on mange ? Depuis des milliers d'années on considérait l'homme comme le sommet de la chaîne alimentaire et que le régime carnivore était le seul style d'alimentation le plus sain. Au 21ème siècle nous avons accès aux produits alimentaires non seulement de notre région, mais aussi à ceux du monde entier, même aux plus exotiques. Le repas est devenu une nouvelle vogue, un nouvel moyen d'expression de soi. Mais en ayant la position dominante dans la nature, sommes-nous suffisamment responsables devant elle ?

Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows offers an absorbing look at what social psychologist Melanie Joy calls carnism, the belief system that conditions us to eat certain animals when we would never dream of eating others. Carnism causes extensive animal suffering and global injustice, and it drives us to act against our own interests and the interests of others without fully realizing what we are doing.

The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about. Climate change, the depletion of oil, economic upheaval, and mass extinction together create a planetary emergency of overwhelming proportions.

Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection.

La place accordée à l'animal dans une société révèle comment l'homme veut vivre au monde. L'expérimentation animale, l'anti-spécisme ou encore la tauromachie nourrissent des débats aux ramifications complexes pour la définition de l'homme en tant qu'espèce et en tant qu'être doué de morale. Dans ce troisième volume de Cosmos, Michel Onfray aborde les enjeux philosophiques profonds que pose notre approche de l'animal, et notamment de sa souffrance.

"J'ai vécu la lecture d'Insoutenable Paradis comme un état des lieux à visage humain des attitudes paradoxales dans lesquelles nous plonge le monde actuel. Ce petit livre humble et solaire nous fait prendre conscience que le véritable remède ne peut venir que de chacun et chacune de nous. C'est bien l'écologie de l'âme qui sauvera notre humanité et, peut-être aussi, notre environnement." Abd Al Malik, artiste.

Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."
