Summary:
From the typical to the exclusive, an “A to Z” about honey, with accurate contents and a vivid layout, rich in practical suggestions and literary and historical quotations. 192 pages in which one can discover features and peculiarities of honey, with many recipes, curiosities and tasting ideas. A book dedicated to nomadic apiculture to approach honey’s passion and tradition from this particular point of view. Synonymous of concepts like “freedom” and “non-conformism”, “nomadism” always found deep roots in man’s history: from this starting point, “nomadic apiculture” expresses the aim of protecting and safeguarding honeys that come from rare blooms, sometimes difficult to reap, too. In a wider sense, it symbolizes the opportunity of drawing in a responsible way from nature’s resources.

Summary:
Since founding Studio Orta in 1993, the Paris-based husband-and-wife team of Lucy and Jorge Orta has produced an extensive body of work that addresses universal concerns about community, shelter, migration, and sustainable development. Beyond merely addressing these issues artistically, their work suggests solutions by modeling fresh approaches to social dilemmas. Their often-playful projects incorporate elements of fashion, art, and architecture, which they combine with performances, multimedia events, and public debates. Featuring hundreds of drawings and photographs, Lucy + Jorge Orta: Food, Water, Life presents recent works that fall into the categories of food, water, and the environment. An interview by curator and critic Hou Hanru provides insight into the artists' processes and motivations.

Plus de quinze projets de paysage illustrés de photographies en couleur et de plans, documentés et commentés en détail par leurs architectes respectifs, offrent une mise à jour des connaissances de cette branche du design, utile au professionnel ou à l'étudiant impliqué dans la gestion du paysage. Les projets sélectionnés contiennent des concepts qui ont été appliqués à de nombreux contextes et à différentes échelles. Montagnes, vallées, environnements climatiques spécifiques et espaces de différents types se convertissent en une nouvelle forme d'expression artistique. La nature et l'art acquièrent une vision cosmologique à travers laquelle s'estompent les limites et surgissent de nouveaux environnements significatifs, qui exaltent les caractéristiques du milieu local et invitent les personnes à réévaluer le lieu dans lequel elles vivent.

Summary:
Food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith recounts the creation of contemporary American cuisine. The style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose it, has never been fixed. Smith's story opens with early America, an agriculturally independent nation where most citizens grew and consumed their own food. Over the next two hundred years, however, Americans would cultivate an entirely different approach to crops and consumption. Advances in food processing, transportation, regulation, nutrition, and science introduced highly complex and mechanized methods of production. Ultimately Smith claims how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.
