Summary:
In an age of ecological turbulence, our understanding of the hills, rivers and fields we live among is more critical than ever. But what might the academic study of geography fail to teach us, and what relationships to the land might be revealed by reinvestigating the neglected knowledge practices of myth, history and legend? Michael Dames sets out to reconnect with the hallowed landscapes of Britain and Ireland, and finds them populated by ancient goddesses, strange rites, and embedded energies. As he voyages beneath the Neolithic immensity of Silbury Hill, past the chalk horses of Uffington, and the ravaged cliffs of Land’s End peninsular, Dames meets a wild community of holy cows, industrious bees, Sheila-na- Gigs, and Salmon women, channeling the peculiar folk tales they have to tell.

Summary:
Since the beginnings of history trees have served humankind in countless useful ways, but our relationship with trees has many dimensions beyond mere practicality. Trees are so entwined with human experience that diverse species have inspired their own stories, myths, songs, poems, paintings, and spiritual meanings. Some have achieved status as religious, cultural, or national symbols. In this beautifully illustrated volume Fiona Stafford offers intimate, detailed explorations of seventeen common trees, from ash and apple to pine, oak, cypress, and willow. The author also pays homage to particular trees, such as the fabled Ankerwyke Yew, under which Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and the spectacular cherry trees of Washington, D.C. Stafford discusses practical uses of wood past and present, tree diseases and environmental threats, and trees’ potential contributions toward slowing global climate change. Brimming with unusual topics and intriguing facts, this book celebrates trees and their long, long lives as our inspiring and beloved natural companions.

Le paysage peut-il réenchanter un site en désuétude, en attente d'un nouvel horizon ? C'est l'hypothèse de départ de la démarche "Atelier des territoires", à l'initiative du ministère en charge de l'urbanisme. Entre 2015 et 2017, cinq sites à reconquérir ont donc fait l'objet d'études de terrain dans ce sens : à Annonay, au sud d'Avignon, à Fort-de-France/Le Lamentin, à l'entrée nord de Perpignan et à Saint-Brieuc. Cinq équipes de paysagistes et architectes - Frédéric Bonnet (agence OBRAS), Bertrand Folléa et Claire Gautier (Folléa-Gautier), Cécile Beaudesson (Devillers et Associés), Sébastien Penfornis (Taktyk), Clément Bollinger et Simon Lacourt (Caudex) -, services de l'Etat et élus locaux discutent concrètement du destin de ces territoires variés, réinventent l'aménagement à travers le filtre du paysage et de ses unités visuelles et vécues, et font émerger des projets novateurs.

Summary:
Depuis qu'elle existe, l'humanité s'évertue à aménager le Monde, le réaménager, le diviser, le parcourir, le mettre en production et donc en valeur. Elle modifie sans cesse son habitat, produit tous les jours de l'espace, de la différence et de l'organisation - avec art et réussite souvent, mais non sans dégâts et perturbations dus à l'ignorance, aux erreurs, aux conflits, à l'avidité. À partir de questions simples et fondamentales, "qu'y a-t-il là, pourquoi est-ce là comme ça, et où cela va-t-il ?", le géographe scrute et déchiffre les traces et les signes que livrent les paysages, la distribution des activités et des habitats, des cultures et des comportements, même les noms des lieux et les antimondes.

Summary:
Highly visual and containing contributions from leading names in landscape, architecture and design, this volume provides a rare insight into people’s engagement with the outdoor environment; looking at the ways in which the design of spaces and places meets people’s needs and desires in the twenty-first century. Embracing issues of social inclusion, recreation, and environmental quality, the editors explore innovative ways to develop an understanding of how the landscape, urban or rural, can contribute to health and quality of life. Open Space: People Space examines the nature and value of people’s access to outdoor environments. Led by Edinburgh’s OPENspace research centre, the debate focuses on current research to support good design for open space and brings expertise from a range of disciplines to look at: - an analysis of policy and planning issues and challenges - understanding the nature and experience of exclusion - the development of evidence-based inclusive design -innovative research approaches which focus on people’s access to open space and the implications of that experience. Invaluable to policy makers, researchers, urban designers, landscape architects, planners, managers and students, it is also essential reading for those working in child development, health care and community development.
