| Birds of the Texas Hill Country
de Mark W. Lockwood (Ed. University of Texas Press) Isbn : 029274725X
51.10 €
“Count yourself fortunate that this book has arrived and that Lockwood is your guide. I recommend that you settle back for an enjoyable and highly informative read, and then follow Lockwood's directions to a personal field study of Edwards Plateau birdlife. And by all means, keep this book close at hand. This now is the modern baseline to which your discoveries will be compared.»--from the Foreword Situated in the center of a state renowned for its abundant and varied birdlife, the Texas Hill Country provides habitat for 420 resident and migratory species, including the endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo. Mark Lockwood, a biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife, has monitored these and other bird populations throughout the Hill Country for many years. In this book, he offers a complete, up-to-date guide to the status and distribution of every bird species reliably reported on the Edwards Plateau. The species accounts focus on four key characteristics of each bird: relative abundance, distribution within the region, habitat, and timing of occurrence. In addition, Lockwood discusses species that have been reported, but not documented, in the Hill Country, as well as those that might be expected to occur. For birders and ornithologists less familiar with the region, Lockwood also gives a general introduction to the ecology of the Edwards Plateau and to the flora and birdlife found in eighteen parks and birding areas. |

| Penguins
de Peterson (Ed. Houghton Mifflin (Trade)) Isbn : 0395898978
17.03 €
“Comical'. . . 'Adorable'. . .'The little fellow in the dress suit'. . . It is tempting to be anthropomorphic about penguins but they are not little people dressed in feathers. They are . . . dedicated to penguinism, a life molded by the cold impersonal sea, harsh climate, and the crowded colonies in which they reproduce.»Roger Tory Peterson (1908-1997) was the greatest naturalist of the twentieth century. He was also known as King Penguin, and Penguins is his tribute to his favorite family... |

de Denis Bonzy (Ed. Exprimeo.com) Isbn : 2952326509
20.00 €
“C'est gentil d'avoir accepté“. Jean-Yves Boulic accueille par ces termes courtois et un peu compassionnels Alain Carignon au pied des marches de l'Hôtel de Ville de Grenoble à moins de 15 jours du 1er tour du scrutin de mars 1983. Ce journaliste politique de l'hebdomadaire Le Point est en passe de réaliser un cliché qu'il jugeait impossible il y a peu de temps encore. Réunir sur une même photo le Maire sortant, Hubert Dubedout et son challenger, Alain Carignon. (...) Il est 13h30 ce lundi 15 mai 1995 et le Palais de Justice de Lyon s'apprête à connaître une journée exceptionnelle. Les journalistes ont envahi la terrasse du “Pub Danois“. Les forces de sécurité ont méticuleusement quadrillé chaque côté du Tribunal. Il est difficile de se frayer un chemin: 12 années séparent ces deux évènements de la vie publique grenobloise. 12 années pendant lesquelles de nombreuses évolutions majeures interviennent en matière de pouvoirs. Cet ouvrage vous fera découvrir les coulisses de cette période : les temps forts des préparations des campagnes électorales, les tractations pour la désignation des candidats, les conditions d'installation des équipes nouvellement élues... mais aussi la mise en place de divers pouvoirs et réseaux grenoblois... Dans ce livre, les personnages et les situations sont réels. Sa lecture vous permettra d'accéder à un poste d'observateur direct. Après, vous verrez peut-être différemment la Capitale du Dauphiné. Dans tous les cas, vous la connaîtrez mieux. |

| Le potager
de Jean-Paul Thorez (Ed. Actes Sud) Isbn : 2742749225
25.40 €
“Acheter des légumes, c'est facile, mais faire ses légumes, c'est savoir“, dit un jardinier. Pourtant, au cours du dernier demi-siècle, ce savoir s'est perdu et les jardiniers d'aujourd'hui sont souvent condamnés à agir sans comprendre et à suivre aveuglément les conseils que leur prodiguent d'innombrables ouvrages pratiques. Pour que tout amateur puisse devenir expert dans l'art de cultiver son potager, Jean-Paul Thorez nous livre les fondements d'une “agronomie jardinière“ respectueuse des processus naturels : les qualités d'un bon potager, la fertilité du sol, le recyclage des précieux “déchets verts“, le rôle des insectes et des fleurs, les associations et les rotations, la santé des cultures, l'influence de la météo et des cycles cosmiques, les tours de main à privilégier, le problème des pollutions au jardin... Ce “manuel d'agronomie jardinière“ invite à observer son potager et à faire preuve de curiosité - autant pour les découvertes des scientifiques que pour les expériences des autres jardiniers. Il dévoile des univers souvent insoupçonnés (la vie du sol, celle des plantes...), évoque l'évolution du climat, les enjeux de la génétique... et dessine ce que devrait être le potager du XXIe siècle : un lieu profondément vivant, “multidimensionnel, planétaire et écocitoyen“. |
