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.

Summary:
In 'The Responsive Environment', Larry D. Busbea takes up the concept of environment as an object and method of design at the height of its aesthetic, technical, and discursive elaboration. Exploring emerging paradigms of environmental perception, patterning, and control, he shows how living space itself was reimagined as a domain capable of modification through input(...)

L’une des grandes originalités de Holmes Rolston au sein du courant d’éthique environnementale consiste en ce qu’il n’a jamais entendu limiter sa réflexion aux problèmes moraux que peut soulever la crise environnementale, mais a travaillé à élaborer une philosophie complète, comprenant une esthétique, une métaphysique, une théorie de la connaissance, une théorie politique(...)

In this groundbreaking work, renowned anthropologist Philippe Descola seeks to break down this divide, arguing for a departure from the anthropocentric model and its rigid dualistic conception of nature and culture as distinct phenomena. In its stead, Descola proposes a radical new worldview, in which beings and objects, human and nonhuman, are understood through the complex relationships that they possess with one another. "The Ecology of Others" presents a compelling challenge to anthropologists, ecologists, and environmental studies scholars to rethink the way we conceive of humans, objects, and the environment. Thought-provoking and engagingly written, it will be required reading for all those interested in moving beyond the moving beyond the confines of this fascinating debate.

A cross-disciplinarian who has collaborated with everyone from Bjoerk to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Morton is also a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, a group of forward-looking thinkers who are grappling with modern-day notions of subjectivity and objectivity, while also offering fascinating new understandings of Heidegger and Kant. Calling the volume a book containing 'no ecological facts', Morton confronts the 'information dump' fatigue of the digital age, and offers an invigorated approach to creating a liveable future.

Ce dernier concerne autant les populations urbaines que rurales, imposant ainsi une réflexion globale sur les relations qu’entretiennent nos établissements humains avec les ressources renouvelables du territoire. Cet ouvrage explore les modalités de transition vers un modèle énergétique, dans lequel la recomposition des rapports entre ressources et territoires laisse entrevoir un rôle inédit pour les espaces ruraux, lieux de nouvelles alliances humaines et économiques.

L'ensemble de ces transitions pose la question d'un nécessaire renouvellement des ressources de l'architecture, dessine les contours d'un changement complet de paradigme. Car ces ressources ne sont pas seulement matérielles – matériaux et techniques – mais immatérielles. Les textes de cet ouvrage, écrits par des architectes dont l'autorité est fondée sur l'expérience, ouvrent une réflexion sur ces ressources immatérielles qu'il est crucial aujourd'hui de réintroduire dans la pensée architecturale.

Seeing cities around the globe in their larger environmental contexts, we begin to understand how the world shapes urban landscapes and how urban landscapes shape the world. Authors Karen Seto and Meredith Reba provide these revealing views to enhance readers’ understanding of the shape, growth, and life of urban settlements of all sizes—from the remote town of Namche Bazaar in Nepal to the vast metropolitan prefecture of Tokyo, Japan. Using satellite data, the authors show urban landscapes in new perspectives. The book’s beautiful and surprising images pull back the veil on familiar scenes to highlight the growth of cities over time, the symbiosis between urban form and natural landscapes, and the vulnerabilities of cities to the effects of climate change.
