        Atlas of the Urban Worlds

        by Éric Verdeil, Atelier de cartographie de Sciences Po

        Today, seventy percent of the world’s population live in cities. What are the realities behind this acceleration of urban densification? Gigantic megalopolises are developing, rural spaces are disappearing, buildings are spreading out and reaching up at the same time, new forms of segregation and inequality are appearing, etc. A clear sign of the beginning of the Anthropocene, urban densification is warming the planet, destroying biodiversity, and increasing our vulnerability to climate change.

        Digital Culture

        by Dominique Cardon

        This book provides the key to understanding what the digital revolution has done to our societies and what we do with digital technology. The arrival of the digital era in our societies should be compared to the invention of the printing press rather than to the great technological advancements of the industrial Revolutions, because the digital revolution is above all a cognitive one. It has inserted knowledge and information into every aspect of our lives.

      • Feminist Economy - Why economics needs feminism and vice versa

        Feminist Economy - Why economics needs feminism and vice versa

        Why economics needs feminism and vice versa

        by Hélène Périvier

        Economics as a discipline was conceived by men in the interests of a society run by men. It is also the social science with the fewest women; barely a quarter of economists are women. This book lifts the veil on the apparent neutrality economic concepts and analyses. In so doing, it sheds light on the foundations of a social organization based on the patriarchal model focused on Mr. Breadwinner, while Ms. Housewife has become Ms. Paidappitance.

        The Tragedy of Growth

        A way out of the impasse

        by Gilbert Rist

        We all understand that infinite growth in a finite world is impossible, yet we act as if that were not true. We are collectively afflicted with cognitive dissonance – to preserve our mental health we refuse to consider embarrassing truths, hoping that all will turn out well … In reality, we know the way out of this impasse. To heal us of our addiction to growth, we must restore the notion of common goods, rehabilitate reciprocity, put an end to debt, and re-engage a dialogue with nature.

      • The Behaviorist Bias
        Humanities & Social Sciences

        The Behaviorist Bias

        by Henri Bergeron, Sophie Dubuisson-Quellier, Patrick Castel, Jeanne Lazarus, Étienne Nouguez, Olivier Pilmis

        "Nudges" toward good behavior use individuals' cognitive bias to modify their behavior without them needing to think, or even understand the stakes. Easy to implement and inexpensive, they have become the alpha and omega of resolving social problems, whether in terms of environment, health, finance or tax. We need a critical analysis of behavioral knowledge and its applications, in order to understand its success and explore its limitations.
