The Neutral preceded this work, containing Barthes’s challenge to the classic oppositions of Western thought and his effort to establish new pathways of meaning. How to Live Together predates both achievements, a series of lectures exploring solitude and the degree of contact necessary for individuals to exist and create at their own pace. A distinct project that sets the tone for his subsequent lectures, How to Live Together is a key introduction to Barthes’s pedagogical methods and critical worldview.

Summary:
This volume presents 70 color photographs of America imbued with both clarity and nostalgia. Italian photographer Luca Campigotto takes us from the canyons, deserts and coal-mining ghost towns of the American West to Idaho’s large auto cemeteries, to the Bronx and other industrial fringes of New York City, to a town in Montana whose brick architecture is reminiscent of Edward Hopper’s paintings. The solitude of the wild frontier and the distance of the urban periphery alternate between dazzling daytime lights and mysterious nocturnes. Each photo is accompanied by short poetic notes—a journey of personal memories which echo literary and cinematographic works—serving as an evocation of some American topoi, above all, the timeless myth of “on the road” traveling.

Summary:
Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a new solitude. We turn to new technology to fill the void, but as MIT technology and society specialist Sherry Turkle argues, as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Even the presence of sociable robots in our lives that pretend to demonstrate empathy makes us feel more isolated, as Turkle explains in a new introduction updating the book to the present day. ''Alone Together'' is the result of Turkle's nearly fifteen-year exploration of our lives on the digital terrain.

En noir et blanc pour aller à l’essentiel et gommer tout malentendu documentaire, au format horizontal pour en accentuer la dimension cinématographique, ces images, réalisées entre 2011 et 2017, n’expliquent rien. Elles sondent l'âme d'une ville somme toute imaginaire, prennent le pouls de son bourdonnement, du mouvement, de l’errance, de la solitude. Elles ressemblent aux souvenirs de jours heureux auxquels celui qui se souvient n’aurait pas participé, qui auraient passé sans lui et dont il ne parviendrait à glaner que débris fatigués. Le livre s’accompagne d’un texte de Marie Ndiaye et Jean-Yves Cendrey.

Trois histoires passionnantes que tresse Nathalie Piégay, dans l'imbrication de l'existence quotidienne et de l'aventure artistique. Elle dit leur solitude et la part de folie qui les pousse à faire oeuvre, tout en cherchant à comprendre quels liens s'établissent entre elles. Peu à peu elle découvre tout ce qui les relie : la maternité, la cruauté, la révolte, la féminité, mais aussi l'invention de personnages, le recours au tissu et à la couture, et bien d'autres motifs. Le récit se tisse comme une toile d'araignée pour révéler l'être intime de femmes qui ont inventé des univers très singuliers et puissants, reconnaissables entre mille, et qui nous bouleversent. Raconter l'histoire de ces trois femmes, c'est s'approcher au plus près de la création.

Throughout the pages, Bates is the solitary traveler on an odyssey, coming across with elusive figures, crossing depopulated places that, always, retain the mysterious traces of a past presence - wreckage landed on the branches of a dead tree, details of a forgotten domestic life, blood stains on immaculate snow... And sometimes, among the crystal-clear images, a tenderness emerges here and there, rays of warmth found in a woman's gaze or in a benevolent flame. Through valleys and mountains, Ian Bates offers with "Lost Dog" a portrait of a mysterious American North West, whose strangeness and magnificent solitude he captures like no other.

Summary:
For readers of ''The Sixth Extinction'' and ''The Uninhabitable Earth,'' ''Concrete'' explores the history of a material that has been central to architecture and design for thousands of years-and what its future looks like in a world experiencing rapid climate change. Imagine a world without concrete: there'd be no skyscrapers, no grand irrigation projects, no out of season vegetables, no highways. There would be a shortage of electricity, more mud in some places, more solitude in others. But because of the fossil fuels and other resources required to make concrete, there also would also be less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and less dramatic climate change. In ''Concrete: From ancient origins to a problematic future,'' Mary Soderstrom tells the story of concrete's surprising past, extravagant present, and uncertain future with careful research, lively anecdotes, and thoughtful reflection.

Il a connu tour à tour la richesse et la faillite, la célébrité et la prison, les grands de ce monde et la solitude, les louanges et les injures.

Danièle Voldman fait, à travers lui, le portrait d'une époque, ces Trente Glorieuses au cours desquelles être logé décemment devint un droit. Devant s'adapter à la construction de masse, les architectes relevèrent alors d'incroyables défis techniques. Pouillon fut sans doute le plus flamboyant d'entre eux. Ce livre montre comment le destin de cet homme rencontra l'évolution de toute une société.
