Summary:
Mason examines how the somber, brooding atmosphere of pine woods, the complex forms of pine cones, and the coniform shape of the trees themselves have aroused the creativity of artists, writers, filmmakers, and photographers. She also considers the many ways we use the tree—its resin once provided adhesives, waterproofing, and medicines, and its wood continues to be(...)

She also considers the many ways we use the tree—its resin once provided adhesives, waterproofing, and medicines, and its wood continues to be incorporated into buildings, furniture, and the pulp used to make paper, while its cones provide pine nuts and other food for animals and humans. Filled with one hundred illustrations, Pin` provides a survey of these rugged, aromatic trees that are found the world over.

In early December 2006, a powerful windstorm ripped through Vancouver’s Stanley Park. The storm transformed the city’s most treasured landmark into a tangle of splintered trees and shattered a decades-old vision of the park as timeless virgin wilderness.

Summary:
Le paysage constitue une perspective nouvelle pour la pensée de la ville, dans un contexte qui n'est plus celui de la ville historique mais bien plutôt celui de l'urbanisation générale du monde. Plus encore, le souci du paysage tient aujourd'hui une place décisive dans les préoccupations pour la qualité des cadres de vie offerts aux populations, en relation avec les interrogations sur l'identité des lieux, sur la gouvernance des territoires, ou encore sur la protection des environnements naturels. De façon convergente, on observe qu'un véritable champ de recherche s'est organisé autour de la question du paysage, où se croisent plusieurs disciplines (sciences sociales, histoire et théorie des arts et de la littérature, philosophie, écologie, géographie, architecture et urbanisme, agronomie). Une nouvelle culture du paysage prend son essor, qui correspond sans doute à de nouvelles formes d'expérience de l'espace, de la société et de la nature, et en tout cas à de nouvelles aspirations collectives concernant l'environnement. Mais cette convergence entre le développement de la recherche et un contexte social et politique devenu plus attentif aux enjeux paysagers fait apparaître des horizons inédits, aussi bien pour les pratiques professionnelles des aménageurs et des paysagistes que pour les théories paysagères.

Summary:
Since the first edition of "Edible Estates : Attack on the Front Lawn" was published in 2008, interest in edible gardening has exploded across the United States and abroad. This greatly expanded second edition of the book documents the eight Edible Estates regional prototype gardens that author Fritz Haeg has planted in California, Kansas, Texas, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and England, and includes personal accounts from the homeowner-gardeners about the pleasures and challenges of publicly growing food where they live. Ten "Reports from Coast to Coast" tell the stories of others who have planted their own edible front yards in towns and cities across the country. In addition to essays by landscape architect and scholar Diana Balmori, edible-landscaping pioneer Rosalind Creasy, bestselling author and sustainable-food advocate Michael Pollan and artist and writer Lesley Stern, this edition features updated text by Haeg (including his observations on the Obama White House vegetable garden); a contribution from Mannahatta author Eric W. Sanderson; and Growing Power founder, MacArthur Fellow and urban farmer Will Allen's never-before-published Declaration of the Good Food Revolution. This is not a comprehensive how-to book, nor a showcase of impossibly perfect gardens. The stories presented here are intended to reveal something about how we are living today and to inspire readers to plant their own versions of an Edible Estate. If we see that our neighbor's typical grassy lawn instead can be a beautiful food garden, perhaps we will begin to look at the city around us with new eyes. Our private land can be a public model for the world in which we would like to live.

The title derives from Finlay's famous definition of Concrete poetry as “a model of order, even if set in a space which is full of doubt,” a definition conceived in correspondence with poet Pierre Garnier. Poet and editor Thomas A. Clark's selection of Finlay's letters—to Louis Zukofsky, Robert Creeley and Ernst Jandl among others—explicates a rigorous and moral vision of the act of making.
