Summary:
Parmi les dizaines d'essences de bois de toutes provenances disponibles sur le marché, l'utilisateur, professionnel ou non, est souvent confronté à des choix difficiles lorsqu'il s'agit d'identifier ou d'acheter un bois. En outre, les nombreuses appellations commerciales, variables d'un pays à l'autre, ne facilitent pas sa tâche. Si un bois peut séduire par son aspect (couleur, grain, texture, veinage, etc.), il convient de savoir si ses caractéristiques physiques, mécaniques et technologiques le rendent effectivement apte à l'emploi auquel on le destine, et inversement de savoir quels sont les bois qui répondent aux critères d'emploi exigés. Cet ouvrage, grâce à ses multiples possibilités d'entrée, répond à ces questions et fournit les connaissances de base utiles à la mise en œuvre et aux diverses opérations de transformation du bois : séchage, usinage, collage, finition, préservation, etc

Summary:
Bringing together Baudrillard’s most accomplished and perceptive commentators, this book assesses his legacy for the twenty-first century. It includes two essays by Baudrillard: a previously unpublished work entitled ‘The vanishing point of communication,’ and one of Baudrillard’s final texts, ‘On disappearance’, a veritable tour de force that serves as a culmination of his theoretical trajectory and a provocation to a new generation of thinkers. Employing Baudrillard’s key concepts, such as simulation, disappearance, and symbolic exchange, and deploying his most radical strategies, such as escalation, seduction, and fatality, the volume’s contributors offer a series of thought-provoking analyses of everything from art to politics, and from laughter to terror.
