Summary:
Everyday America surveys the widening conceptions and applications of cultural landscape writing in the United States and, in doing so, offers a clear and compelling view of the state of cultural landscape studies today. These essays--by journalists, historians, cultural geographers, architects, landscape architects, and planners--constitute a critical evaluation of the field's theoretical assumptions, and of the work of John Brinckerhoff Jackson, the pivotal figure in the emergence of cultural landscape studies. At the same time, they present studies of twentieth-century landscapes, from the turn-of-the-century American downtown to the corporate campus and the mini-mall.

Summary:
L’évaporation motrice est un procédé qui permet de produire des mouvements très lents, de déplacer des masses aussi importantes qu’on le désire à une vitesse proche de celle de la croissance des plantes. Le déplacement ne se perçoit qu’en revenant quelque temps après pour se dire : "ça a bougé" comme : "ça a fleuri, l’herbe a poussé, un tel ou une telle a vieilli"… Cette(...)

La singularité de ces mouvements automatiques tient dans leur asservissement immédiat au climat — car le vent, la température et l’hygrométrie déterminent l’allure des automates à évaporation motrice.

Summary:
In recent years, landscape has become increasingly recognised as a topic of central importance to a wide variety of disciplines. To a large degree this recognition has been based upon an expanding appreciation of the political aspects of landscape, its ideological character and effects. "Landscapes and Politics" is an innovative cross-disciplinary volume of new writing which brings together, in a strategic and productive encounter, a broad variety of critical work currently being done in this field. With 28 papers and five photo essays "Landscapes and Politics" presents material by scholars and practitioners from anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art history, cultural studies, English and American literature, film studies, fine art, geography, history, landscape architecture, philosophy, political science, and religious studies. As an important marker of current methodologies, research and practice across these different disciplinary areas Landscapes and Politics is an invaluable resource. It will be of interest to all those concerned with current discourses and debates on landscape and its representation.

Si les émissions de gaz carbonique et d'autres gaz à effet de serre ne sont pas fortement réduites dans les décennies à venir, il en résultera des dégâts immenses et irréversibles. Ce livre pluridisciplinaire rassemble des points de vue scientifiques et politiques de sensibilités diverses, tous convaincus que la lutte contre le réchauffement de la planète est l'urgence de l'urgence et peut offrir l'occasion d'une conversion salutaire de notre système économique. Dans la situation historique, à nulle autre pareille, que nous vivons, c'est l'avenir de l'humanité en tant que telle qui se joue. Il est indispensable d'ouvrir les yeux sur le désastre et de saisir l'aubaine qui se présente à nous.

Summary:
Studies of rituals in sacred gardens and landscapes offer tantalizing insights into the significance of gardens and landscapes in the societies of India, ancient Greece, Pre-Columbian Mexico, medieval Japan, post-Renaissance Europe, and America. Sacred gardens and landscapes engaged their visitors into three specific modes of agency: as anterooms spurring encounters with the netherworld; as journeys through mystical lands; and as a means of establishing a sense of locality, metaphorically rooting the dweller's own identity in a well-defined part of the material world. Each section of this book is devoted to one of these forms of agency. Together the essays reveal a profound cultural significance of gardens previously overlooked by studies of garden styles.
