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.

Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond.

Summary:
The book takes us from the fells of the Lake District to the uplands of Northumberland; from the streetscapes of industrial Manchester to the heart of London. This panoramic journey reveals the significance, not only of the physical characteristics of landscapes, but also of the sense of the past, collective memories and cultural traditions that give these places their meaning. Between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, Englishness extended far beyond the pastoral idyll of chocolate-box thatched cottages, waving fields of corn and quaint country churches. It was found in diverse locations - urban as well as rural, north as well as south - and it took strikingly diverse forms.

Summary:
"Botanical Drift" explores the hermeneutics, historicization, semiotics, and symbiosis of plant diversification, species cultivation, and destruction—past and present, extant and extinct—around the globe. Plant histories are explored as commodities and colonial as well as decolonial devices by significant and diverse feminist, art-historical, and anthropological voices—from Germaine Greer to herman de vries—bringing new perspectives through photo-essays, fiction, performance, and interventions in ecological, film, and translation archives. Reflecting on experimental ecology—the undiscovered, underestimated, and undesired non-European flora and fauna—it challenges perception and inspires potentialities to bring new understandings of the undergrowth of the Kew Gardens botany collection.

Included are analyses of the spatial, sensorial, and narrative craft patterns of metropolitan gardens ranging from traditional Japanese masterpieces to contemporary European landscape architecture. The metropolitan garden, as a defined space in the continuous metropolitan field, provides an alternative way to access the landscape horizon, references to nature, and connections to the underlying landscape, providing a new perspective on two quintessential themes: nature and place.
