Summary:
Living on a damaged planet challenges who we are and where we live. This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth. As human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, "Arts of living on a damaged planet" puts forward a bold proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent "arts of living." Included are essays by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art, literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene. The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as the publication's two openings: Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity; and Monsters, or interspecies and intraspecies sociality. Ghosts and Monsters are tentacular, windy, and arboreal arts that invite readers to encounter ants, lichen, rocks, electrons, flying foxes, salmon, chestnut trees, mud volcanoes, border zones, graves, radioactive waste--in short, the wonders and terrors of an unintended epoch.

Summary:
What is a sustainable community? The pressing need to answer this simple question is what prompted John Pierce and Ann Dale to gather the essays in this volume. Communities, Development, and Sustainability across Canada is a timely synthesis of work on how Canadian communities can achieve sustainable development. It bridges the gap between theory and praxis and brings together academics, policy makers, and community activists, all of whom have argued for increased local participation in sustainable community development. Communities have become the weak link in efforts to refashion relations between the environment and the economy. The goal of this book is not simply to describe problems but also to suggest answers, not simply to offer theory but also to promote action, so that Canadian communities can better achieve sustain-able development. The twelve essays are organized into four sections: Vision, Connections, Action, and Assessing Progress. The first and last sections discuss local sustainable development within the context of increasing globalization. The second section approaches sustainable development from the perspective of social evolution and urban systems. The third section, the heart of the book, is comprised of three community case studies, an assessment of the Pacific salmon fishery, and four general discussions of sustainable development. The conclusion reiterates the need to make communities stronger links in sustainable development. The message of "Communities, development, and sustainability across Canada" is clear: it is time for communities themselves to act if they are to achieve sustainable development. This book will prove to be a valuable guide to taking the first steps.

Summary:
Si la villa Noailles telle que l'a photographiée Jacqueline Salmon, si ces images fixes n'en ont pas moins leur "photogénie", au sens où l'entendaient Germaine Dullac ou Jean Epstein autant que Mallet-Stevens, il ne s'agit pas tant, de la qualité de la prise de vue ou de celle du tirage que de ce qu'y ajoute, en termes temporels autant que narratifs, la dynamique, immédiatement perceptible mais mesurable en années, liée à la ruine - désormais stoppée - des lieux et à la poussée corrélative de la végétation, autant que celle qui procède, par inférence, de la succession même de ces images et de leur enchaînement calculé : du lever du jour à la tombée de la nuit, que signale l'obscurcissement progressif du site et l'allumage en fin de course des luminaires, la promenade (je n'ai pas dit le parcours, dont la notion impliquerait un cheminement réglé) est comme rythmée par la fuite des heures. Mais ceci ne serait rien encore si cette promenade qui aura eu pour fruit une telle séquence d'images, ne renouait, dans son cours apparemment imprévisible, avec ce qui pourrait bien avoir été (j'en forme l'hypothèse au vu de ces photographies) la dynamique propre de l'ouvrage, à le viser dans son développement architectural autant que programmatique. La réussite - si c'est là le mot qui convient : disons l'efficace - de la prise de vues se mesurant à celle (la prise conceptuelle) qu'elle assure sur l'objet, dans son opération même. Ce qui doit s'entendre dans le double sens qu'autorise la syntaxe : soit qu'on ait égard à l'opération qui est le fait de la photographie, ou que l'on prête attention à ce que celle-ci donne à voir du fonctionnement d'un objet dont la ruine agit en fait comme un révélateur.
