Summary:
"Accidental gravity" moves from upstate New York to the contemporary western U.S. and into Canada, from urban and suburban places to wild lands. The essays are informative, but the focus is personal. Quetchenbach writes about urban and suburban places as well as wild lands. In the first section of the book, he focuses on suburban neighborhoods, “the places where tensions between human and animal nature, and between differing concepts of the natural world, come to the fore.” In the second section, he juxtaposes these humanized places with Yellowstone National Park, in the context of climate change and other contemporary pressures. This is nature writing at its finest.

Today, designers are shifting the practice of landscape architecture towards the need for a more complex understanding of ecological science. Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as critical theory for design, and provides major ideas for design that are supported with solid and imaginative science. Margaret Grose presents wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning from science for design, of going beyond assumptions, of working in multiple rather than single issues, of disrupting linear design thinking, and of dealing with data.

Summary:
Les îles sont des lieux de vie, une vie singulière, et on s'interroge aujourd'hui sur les possibilités de la préserver, de l'entretenir, mais aussi de la projeter vers le futur. Comment agir dans les îles pour y maintenir et y développer des cadres de vie satisfaisants pour les populations qui y résident ? Comment y faire coexister des usages, des intérêts, des volontés hétérogènes portées par des populations aux activités et aux aspirations différentes ? Comment, surtout, répondre aux défis environnementaux, qui touchent aussi bien aux questions de biodiversité végétale et animale qu'à celles de la qualité des conditions spatiales, paysagères et architecturales de la vie sociale ? Ce numéro des Carnets du paysage envisage aussi les îles comme des mondes imaginaires et comme le cadre d'expériences particulières où s'expriment les notions de singularité et d'étrangeté, vécues comme éloignement et isolement.
