Biographie de Pascal Acot
Pascal Acot was born in 1942. Having obtained his doctorate In philosophy, he is today a historian of science at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). He has studied the history of scientific ecology since 1971, and has published several general works in this field as well as many specialist articles. In this book, in order to deal with the complex multidisciplinary roots of the history of ecology he has brought together a group of historians with authoritative knowledge of the field's various sub-branches, without ever losing sight of ecology's relationship to the broader history of biology and the environmental sciences.
