This series of works highlights the multidimensional (either social, economic, ethical, industrial, scientific, technologic or else…) aspect of environmental issues.

The chosen approach in this series is to look at the ways in which the modern individual questions its relationship with the world, as an object of scientific knowledge but also of subjective apprehension.
This series gathers collective works as well as scientific essays and is addressed to a learned and curious readership.
