The Raven Chronicles

The complex interaction of economics, politics, culture and ecology were described in Volume 1-Fur War. This second volume reveals the remarkable people of the Fur War. The heroes, scoundrels, survivors, oligarchs, observers and psychopaths. Learn how they shaped history. Consider yourself in their shoes. Could you command a ship around the world at the age of nineteen with twenty-two men (most of them older than you) as crew? Could you hike, ride, and camp in the snow for five months every year while caring for several children under the age of 15, preparing food, skinning beaver, and perhaps giving birth and nursing an infant? Could you continue after nine out of ten people in your family and village died of new diseases? Could you survive a 14-month drift across the north Pacific only to shipwreck on the coast - and be made a slave? Learn about them and more, in Tenacity: Remarkable People of the Fur War.

Tenacity: Remarkable People of the Fur War

Phylogénétique, taxonomie, cartographie génétique, phénétique, systématique, biostratigraphie, taphonomie, génomique... de nombreuses disciplines d'aujourd'hui se sont constituées au fil du temps, à force de vouloir représenter, décrire, classer les espèces animales. Ce livre propose de dérouler l'histoire de ces classifications, de l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos jours au travers d'une foisonnante iconographie. Associant des regards artistiques aux découvertes scientifiques, elles nous dépeignent l'univers animal sous forme de paraboles, d'arbres, de labyrinthes, comme une terra incognita, voire comme un reflet de nous-mêmes...
