  • Ten facts about land systems for sustainability

    Open AccessPatrick Meyfroidt, Ariane De Bremond et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2022

    Land use is central to addressing sustainability issues, including biodiversity conservation, climate change, food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable energy. In this paper, we synthesize knowledge accumulated in land system science, the integrated study of terrestrial social-ecological systems, into 10 hard truths that have strong, general, empirical support. These facts help to explain the challenges of achieving sustainability in la…

  • Entre le poids des traditions et les appels de la modernité: La gouvernance du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (1933-1963)

    John R PorterARTICLEMuséologies Les cahiers d études…2021

    The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec is the oldest of our state museums. It had been in the making since 1922 and opened its doors in 1933, in the middle of an economic crisis. It was also in a difficult context that its identity, collections and outreach initiatives gradually took shape under the aegis of directors whose backgrounds were as different as they were complementary. Among them, the visionary and resilient Paul Rainville (1887-…

    However, it is certainly the case that an abridged and probably English version of the History of Inra would be of great international interest and serve as a lesson for wise persons of many other lands of how to cultivate agricultural science given its importance in providing one of the basic needs of humans -that is the provision of food. Perhaps even a 'graphic novel' picture version or a 'video history' could be of interest for the French pub…

  • The Value of Producing Food, Energy, and Ecosystem Services within an Agro-Ecosystem

    John Porter, John R Porter et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2009Cited by: 3

    Agricultural ecosystems produce food, fiber, and non-marketed ecosystem services (ES). Agriculture also typically involves high negative external costs associated with, for example, fossil fuel use. We estimated, via field-scale ecological monitoring and economic value-transfer methods, the market and nonmarket ES value of a combined food and energy (CFE) agro-ecosystem that simultaneously produces food, fodder, and bioenergy. Such novel CFE agro…

  • "Studies in Euripides' "Orestes

    Thomas M Falkner, John R PorterARTICLEPhoenix1996

    This work challenges recent critical assessments that emphasize the allegedly subversive elements in Euripides' play. The Orestes is found to present a curious melange of early and late Euripidean features, resulting in a drama where the tragic potential of Orestes' predicament becomes lost amid the moral, political and situational chaos that dominates the late Euripidean stage. Throughout, emphasis is placed on reading the Orestes in light of Gr…

    the Society,' I attempted, in different ways, to explore some of the links between the study of folklore and the study of the Old Testament, which is my own specialist field. This, my final address, will be a much wider ranging and hence a much lighter affair, no more than what the French call a 'bonne bouche' or what the late Sir Thomas Beecham used to describe as 'lollipops.' My aim is a simple one: it is to call attention to a few examples of …

  • The Daughters of Lot

    John R PorterARTICLEFolklore1978Cited by: 1References: 1

    Lot went up from Zoar and settled in the hill-country with his two daughters, because he was afraid to stay in Zoar; he lived with his two daughters in a cave. The elder daughter said to the younger, 'Our father is old and there is not a man in the country to come to us in the usual way. Come now, let us make our father drink wine and then lie with him and in this way keep the family alive through our father.' So that night they gave him wine to …
