Three ecological models are presented to back the following working hypothesis : there is a continuity of ecological processes that animate the adaptation and behaviour of plants, animals, and man. Human ecology can found itself upon biological ecology to integrate geographical, economic, and psycho-social factors and phenomena. A recourse to ecological premises will reveal, among others things, the distance between ecology and economies. The "ball-of-arrows" somewhat expands the triangular model of the ecosystem proposed by the biologists. The ecological space classification also exceeds the framework of "land use" adopted by the geographers. Finally, the pattern of sharing of resources ("environmental pie") borrows from the psychologists a scheme of strategy of human responses to environmental conditions. Four maps demonstrate the application of this methodology to wild or rural and urban environments.

SummaryThis article chronicles Quebec's social evolution from 1945 to 1965, and provides an overview of the ensuing political transformations between 1965 and 1995, the year in which Quebec's most recent sovereignty referendum was held. It begins by identifying the many pitfalls awaiting such an effort. It then focusses attention on some aspects of the history of French Canadians and the Quebecois, this with a view to making it clear that our history is not a single history, but a double one: that of English Canadians and that of French Canadians, who are now Quebecois. This double history is based on legends, briefly summarized by the author with an emphasis on the interpretation which glorifies the English conquest and the creation of the Confederation by the two founding peoples. The article continues with a discussion of the shift from tradition to modernity, and describes the twists and turns, as well as the consequences, of the Quiet Revolution which led to the transformation of a traditional society into a modern one. It concludes with a few remarks about the mood of the present political situation, a mood informed by the tenacity of legends grounding the eternal double interpretation and double legitimation of the struggle between Canadian unity and the existence of the Quebecois people.
