Summary:
In ''Seeing Green'', Finis Dunaway shows how popular environmentalism has been entwined with mass media spectacles of crisis. Beginning with radioactive fallout and pesticides during the 1960s and ending with global warming today, he focuses on key moments in which media images provoked environmental anxiety but also prescribed limited forms of action. Moreover, he shows how the media have blamed individual consumers for environmental degradation and thus deflected attention from corporate and government responsibility. Ultimately, Dunaway argues, iconic images have impeded efforts to realize- or even imagine- sustainable visions of the future.

Summary:
"Mediating Environments" examines fundamental and radical environmental conditions in the Arctic and provides a spectrum of innovative design approaches and spatial outcomes. Climate organizes and sustains a broad range of activities in the Arctic, and it will dictate the future transformations in northern urban landscapes and their metabolic operations. As such, arctic urbanism must take into account the varied nuances of weather phenomena that are deeply engrained in everyday living practices and biophysical fabrics. By revisiting and reconfiguring the intersections between environmental and design systems, this publication aims to expand conceptual strategies in the arctic beyond the modes of insulation, stabilization, and optimization while repositioning the region as a central figure within the global network of exchanges.

"Moving to Mars" is the first book ever to thoroughly explore the crucial role that design will play in the collective endeavor to travel to and inhabit Mars.

« Habiter le trouble, avec Donna Haraway » est un ouvrage collectif qui vise à contribuer à la réception francophone du travail récent de Donna Haraway. Ce livre rassemble un grand entretien avec la philosophe et croise des essais issus des champs des sciences humaines et de la philosophie. Cet ouvrage tentent de situer les travaux d'Haraway dans les débats contemporains sur l’anthropocène et réinscrivent l'auteure dans une trajectoire théorique des luttes éco-féministes et pacifistes. Il propose également une série d’enquêtes consacrées à Fukushima, aux institutions psychiatriques, aux pratiques d’élevage et d’abattage…, s'inscrivant ainsi dans la démarche d’Haraway, et à la façon dont ses textes cultivent avec une égale ferveur l’imagination spéculative et l’attention passionnée au réel.

Summary:
'The Culture of Feedback' digs deep into a dazzling variety of left-of-center experiences and attitudes, and brings a new look at the wild side of the 1970s. The author shows us how ideas from systems theory were taken up by the counterculture and the environmental movement, eventually influencing a wide range of beliefs and behaviors, particularly related to the question of what is and is not intelligence. He tells the story of a generation of Americans who were struck by a newfound interest in — and respect for — plants, animals, indigenous populations, and the very sounds around them, threading his tapestry with cogent insights on environmentalism, feminism, systems theory, and psychedelics.

Proceeding from the notion that dominant Western cultures lack the terms and concepts to describe or respond to our environmental crisis, ''An ecotopian lexicon'' is a collaborative volume of short, engaging essays that offer ecologically productive terms—drawn from other languages, science fiction, and subcultures of resistance—to envision and inspire responses and alternatives to fossil-fueled neoliberal capitalism.
