Summary:
Architecture and construction are at a turning point. The global rise in temperature can only be reduced if construction undergoes radical change. The second volume of the book ‘'Architecture and Climate Change" once again gives 20 architects and urbanists a chance to have their say on the future of construction. It collects voices from the UK, USA, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Japan, Belgium and Switzerland. In the interviews, the experts discuss their own experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems relating to the rise in CO2 emissions. They explain pioneering projects and link them to personal wishes and political ideals. The result is a multi-layered kaleidoscope of different perspectives, wishes and hopes for an architecture that fulfils the climate goals.

Summary:
With ''Numinous seditions'', celebrated poet and essayist Tim Lilburn investigates inner dispositions that might help us bear the new sorrows of the climate crisis. The book draws from the West’s almost forgotten contemplative tradition in its Platonic, Islamic, Christian, and Zoharic forms. It also explores ideas from modern philosophers Jan Zwicky, Gillian Rose, Dorothy Day, and Simone Weil, and from contemporary poets Don Domanski, Philip Kevin Paul, Anne Szumigalski, and Roberto Harrison. Lilburn suggests that listening, noticing, reading, and stretching our imaginations are all part of an interior stance that can assist with the difficult tasks of forming deep relationships with the land, with Indigenous peoples, and with pedagogy itself. Numinous Seditions is for scholars and readers interested in poetry, environmental philosophy, and in the possibility of a contemplative politics.

Summary:
"La réduction des gaz à effet de serre (GES) mènera automatiquement à une amélioration de notre qualité de vie", "L’hydroélectricité est la clé pour l’enrichissement du Québec", "Le Canada est une grande puissance énergétique", ... Voilà autant de mythes sans cesse répétés par les politiciens, les groupes d’intérêt, les porte-parole de l’industrie et les médias. Ces mythes nous donnent l’impression de maîtriser la transition énergétique et nous confortent dans l’illusion que nous avons les outils pour atteindre nos objectifs de réduction de GES sans toucher à ce qu’on appelle encore "le modèle québécois". La situation n’est pas meilleure dans le reste du Canada, où l’ensemble des gouvernements provinciaux oscille entre objectifs ambitieux et inaccessibles, programmes de réduction des émissions de GES aussi coûteux qu’inefficaces ou, carrément, déni du problème. Quant au gouvernement fédéral, après trois décennies d’inaction, il tarde encore à mettre sur pied une politique nationale sur la question. Normand Mousseau déboulonne systématiquement chacun de ces mythes et démontre de manière irréfutable la vérité suivante : la solution au problème des changements climatiques n’est pas de nature technologique ou scientifique, mais bel et bien politique.
