Se fondant sur des données archéologiques les plus récentes et sur une étude revisitée des textes gréco-latins, il aboutit à des constatations stupéfiantes.

"Classic country estates of Lake Forest" is a systematic study of the textured built environment on Lake Michigan' s North Shore. Beginning with suburban villas in the manner of Andrew Jackson Downing, Lake Forest was transformed by the work of Henry Ives Cobb, Howard Van Doren Shaw, David Adler, Harrie T. Lindeberg, Charles A. Platt, Holabird & Roche, Delano & Aldrich, Arthur Heun, and others. It was also distinguished by a tradition of innovation in landscape design, from the original Romantic picturesque town plan of 1857 to the later estate work of O. C. Simonds, the Olmsteds, Warren Manning, Rose Standish Nichols, and Jens Jensen.

Summary:
Une lutte pour la sauvegarde d'un lieu emblématique, la Maison des métallos, dans le 11e arrondissement de Paris, s'est terminée par une victoire in extremis. Ses acteurs, réunis dans l'association Comité Métallos, ont voulu prolonger cette aventure en animant un espace de recherche, de réflexion et de rencontre autour de l'histoire et la mémoire des lieux, pour la valorisation du patrimoine industriel et urbain de ce quartier, le bas Belleville. Le constat de la transformation irréversible de ce quartier rendait nécessaire et légitime de procéder à un inventaire, à une analyse et d'ouvrir des perspectives sur le devenir de sa tradition artisanale et industrielle. Au croisement des démarches associatives et universitaires, animé par une dynamique citoyenne, celle du Comité Métallos, ce livre retrace cent cinquante ans d'histoire industrielle du bas Belleville. Interrogeant les archives mais aussi le terrain contemporain - des traces aux témoignages - l'ouvrage expérimente une autre pratique de l'histoire tout en explorant la notion de paysage dans une voie novatrice, celle de l'esprit des lieux.

Summary:
Long Island’s North Fork is a pastoral quilt of vineyards and farms by the sea. To the north are the sandy beaches of Long Island Sound and to the south a collection of harbors and fishing villages overlooking Peconic Bay. Stretching out some thirty miles from the mainland, this narrow peninsula is a place of serenity and beauty. Photographer Jake Rajs has captured the spirit of the North Fork - the glorious colors of sunrise and sunset, the calm waters, and the vast expanses of fields and wetlands. He focuses on architectural landmarks as well - the Victorian houses on Shelter Island, eighteenth-century barns, the Orient Point Lighthouse - to create a complete portrait of this unspoiled land. Complementing the visual presentation is an essay by Jesse Browner that evokes the spirit of the North Fork and its people, tracing the evolution of the land from colonial farms to the vineyards that have emerged over the past thirty years.
