Summary:
When Richard Reynolds began planting flowers secretly at night outside his tower block in South London, he had no idea that he was part of a growing global movement committed to combating the forces of neglect, land shortage and apathy towards public spaces. But before long, his blog had attracted other guerrillas from around the world to share their experiences of the horticultural frontline, and is now a focal point for guerrilla gardeners everywhere, with over 4,000 people enlisted as recruits. "On Guerrilla Gardening" is Reynolds' lively, colourful treatise on why people illicitly cultivate land and how to do it yourself. From discreetly beautifying corners of Montreal to striving for green communal space in Berlin and sustainable food production in San Francisco, from Christmas trees on London roundabouts to the political agitations of landless workers in Brazil, Reynolds charts a battle that people worldwide are fighting on many different fronts. Along the way he unearths the movement's notable historic advances by seventeenth-century English radicals, a nineteenth-century American entrepreneur and public-spirited artists in 1970s New York. Reynolds has researched the subject with guerrilla gardeners from thirty different countries, and compiles their advice on what to grow where, how to cope with adverse environmental conditions, how to seed-bomb effectively, how to harness propaganda to win support and even how to handle anti-terror police. "On Guerrilla Gardening" informs, entertains and inspires. Packed with photographs, anecdotes and sound horticultural advice, it is an irresistible invitation to shoulder your shovel and join the revolution that is blooming in the world's shared spaces.

Summary:
Artistic representations of landscape are studies in a half-dozen disciplines (art history, geography, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology), and there is no master narrative or historiographic genealogy to frame interpretations. Geographers are interested in political formations (and geography, as a discipline, is increasingly non-visual). Art historians have written extensively on landscape, but there have not been any recent synthetic attemps or theoretical overviews. At the same time, painters, and other artists often feel they 'possess' the landscape of the region in which they live; that ownership takes place at a non-verbal level, and seems incommensurate with the discourses of art history or geography. Landscape Theory, volume 6 in The Art Seminar series, is the first book to bring together different disciplines and practices, in order to understand how best to conceptualize landscape in art.

La visibilité extrême et la mode actuelle du paysage ne cachent-elles pas quelque chose d'autre? Quel est le coût réel du paysage et qu'en est-il de son négatif oublié ou bien refoulé? Toute forme de surexposition culturelle renvoie nécessairement à un pôle occulté et à un manque. Il incombe dès lors de regarder à travers la forêt de représentations mentales et médiatiques et de poser des questions de fond sur le paysage même - qu'est-ce qui se présente aujourd'hui en tant que paysage? - et sur le contexte plus général de son succès, à savoir : qu'est-ce que le paysage a su déplacer pour s'imposer de la sorte à l'échelle globale?

Cities and Nature illustrated how the city is part of the environment, and how it is subject to environmental constraints and opportunities.

This book aims to reconnect the science and social science through the examination of the urban. It critiques the dominant academic discourse which ignores the environment and how this is subjected to social influences.
