Summary:
Descanso Gardens is one of Los Angeles's oldest botanical gardens. Initially a Spanish rancho and later the estate of publisher and horticulturist E. Manchester Boddy, the 160-acre lot was granted to the people of Los Angeles and includes one of the world's finest collections of camellias and oaks. Warren Marr is part of a long tradition of photographers who have responded creatively to the garden and its timeless appeal. His photographic explorations of what he refers to as a "natural light box" have been called "lyrical and luminous" by Getty Museum curator Anne Lyden. Marr's lush panoramic images combined with essays on the significance of the garden plants and history make Descanso an elegant volume for photography and garden lovers.

Summary:
The discipline of landscape architecture encompasses many typologies, from domestic gardens and neighborhood playgrounds to urban designs and state parks. Most critical studies of the discipline tend to approach it from a historical or contemporary perspective organized around criteria such as built versus unbuilt, urban versus peripheral, or competition-sponsored versus commission-based. Very few analyses have been undertaken from the seemingly obvious jumping-off point of size. In "Large parks", Julia Czerniak and George Hargreaves present eight essays by scholars and practitioners that engage large urban parks in depth as complex cultural spaces, where key issues of landscape discourse, ecological challenges, social history, urban relations, and place-making are writ large. From historic parks such as New York's Central Park and Paris's Bois de Boulogne to contemporary projects such as Toronto's Downsview Park and Staten Island's Fresh Kills, to newly unveiled and yet-to-be-built projects such as Ken Smith's ambitious plans for the Orange County Great Park, "Large parks" highlights the complexities and unique considerations that go into designing these massive and culturally significant works.

Summary:
Alors que l’affaire Dreyfus bat son plein, César Ritz est sur le point d’ouvrir les portes de son nouveau palace parisien, dont les cuisines ont été confiées au grand chef Auguste Escoffier. Quel n’est donc pas le choc ressenti lorsque, à quelques jours de l’inauguration, le cadavre d’une jeune femme est retrouvé pendu dans une chambre froide du Ritz. Pour ne pas ébruiter l’affaire, l’enquête est confiée au filleul d’Auguste Escoffier, Quentin Savoisy, jeune journaliste gastronomique au Pot-au-Feu. Epaulé par sa fiancée aristocrate et féministe de la première heure, Quentin est loin d’imaginer qui se cache derrière ce terrible meurtre. Michèle Barrière, la reine du polar «historico-gastronomique», signe ici une intrigue captivante de la saga Savoisy, où la grande Histoire se mêle avec brio aux mets les plus fins de l’hôtellerie de luxe.

Summary:
In the late 1970s, the George Eastman Museum approached a group of photographers to ask for their favorite recipes and food-related photographs to go with them, in pursuit of publishing a cookbook. Playing off George Eastman’s own famous recipe for lemon meringue pie, as well as former director Beaumont Newhall’s love of food, the cookbook grew from the idea that photographers’ talent in the darkroom must also translate into special skills in the kitchen. The recipes do not disappoint, with Robert Adams’ Big Sugar Cookies, Ansel Adams’ Poached Eggs in Beer, Richard Avedon’s Royal Pot Roast, Imogen Cunningham’s Borscht, William Eggleston’s Cheese Grits Casserole, Stephen Shore’s Key Lime Pie Supreme and Ed Ruscha’s Cactus Omelette, to name a few. The book was never published, and the materials have remained in George Eastman Museum’s collection ever since. Now, nearly 40 years later, this extensive and distinctive archive of untouched recipes and photographs is published in 'The Photographer’s Cookbook' for the first time. The book provides a time capsule of contemporary photographers of the 1970s many before they made a name for themselves as well as a fascinating look at how they depicted food, family and home, taking readers behind the camera and into the hearts and stomachs of some of photography’s most important practitioners.
