The question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings. In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in cross-examination in court.

«Pour Aldo Rossi l’architecture se déploie comme un rite: les signes architecturaux qui se répètent, les différents types qui sont repris d’un projet à l’autre, reproduisent la corporalité qui est à leur origine. Dans ce rituel, le monde des sensations et des impulsions obscures que la rationalité moderne avait rejeté refont surface de manière inattendue. À travers(...)

Summary:
«Pour Aldo Rossi l’architecture se déploie comme un rite: les signes architecturaux qui se répètent, les différents types qui sont repris d’un projet à l’autre, reproduisent la corporalité qui est à leur origine. Dans ce rituel, le monde des sensations et des impulsions obscures que la rationalité moderne avait rejeté refont surface de manière inattendue. À travers l’identification de l’architecture au corps animal ou humain, le désir qui était mis à l’écart de toute création est réintroduit dans l’architecture. Il s’agit d’un désir latent, inquiet de sa propre mort, un désir qui ne saurait s’exprimer autrement qu’à travers la répétition d’une typologie architecturale invariable. Parler de suspens en architecture revient ainsi, dans un premier temps, à évoquer un état de figement dont la finalité serait d’accéder à une temporalité anhistorique où la fixité domine. Toutefois, parler de suspens c’est aussi suggérer qu’il existe une attente et une latence au sein de cette fixité. C’est dire que le temps du suspens est corporel et inquiet.» Nous entraînant dans une enquête subtile qui traverse les écrits, projets et dessins réalisés entre 1959 et 1982 par l’architecte italien, l’ouvrage de Can Onaner permet de dévoiler sous un jour nouveau les notions et thèmes fondamentaux de l’œuvre d’Aldo Rossi: le type, la répétition, la permanence. Mais aussi de fonder le concept de suspens comme une nouvelle approche théorique de l’architecture, emblème de tout projet architectural inquiet de sa pérennité et mythe nécessaire, sinon fondateur, de toute urbanité.

Summary:
Over the last half-billion years, there have been Five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before. Interweaving research in half a dozen disciplines, descriptions of the fascinating species that have already been lost, and the history of extinction as a concept, Kolbert provides a moving and comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes.

Summary:
Oil is not new to Saskatchewan. Many of the wells found on farmland across the province date back to the 1950s when the industry began to spread. But there is little doubt that the recent boom (2006–2014) in unconventional oil production has reshaped rural lives and landscapes. While many small towns were suffering from depopulation and decline, others reoriented(...)

But there is little doubt that the recent boom (2006–2014) in unconventional oil production has reshaped rural lives and landscapes. While many small towns were suffering from depopulation and decline, others reoriented themselves around a booming oil industry.In the summer of 2014, at the height of the boom, geographer Emily Eaton and photographer Valerie Zink travelled to oil towns across the province, from the sea-can motel built from shipping containers on the outskirts of Estevan to seismic testing sites on Thunderchild First Nation’s Sundance grounds. In text and photographs, ''Fault Lines'' captures the complexities of engagement, ambivalence, and resistance in communities living amid oil.

Rather than treating the honeymoon as a simple by-product of the privatization of the family, this work argues that it was formed at the interstices between (and helped to articulate) a variety of narratives—patriotic, conjugal, sentimental, and sexual that were central to the modern American national identity. To track these narratives, Penner moves between primary accounts of newlywed experiences recorded in diaries and letters in addition to entries in a wide range of textual, visual, and architectural representations matrimonial maps, engravings from the popular press, sensational novels, and palace hotel bridal chambers.

Summary:
Timber is a vital resource that is all around us. It is the house that shelters us, the furniture we relax in, the books we read, the paper we print, the disposable diapers for our babies, and the boxes that contain our cereal, detergent, and new appliances. The way we produce and consume timber, however, is changing. With international timber companies and big box discount retailers increasingly controlling through global commodity chains where and how much timber is traded, the world's remaining old-growth forests, particularly in the developing world, are under threat of disappearing - all for the price of a consumer bargain. This trailblazing book is the first to expose what's happening inside corporate commodity chains with conclusions that fundamentally challenge our understanding of how and why deforestation persists. Authors Peter Dauvergne and Jane Lister reveal how timber now moves through long and complex supply chains from the forests of the global South through the factories of emerging economies like China to the big box retail shelves of Europe and North America. Well-off consumers are getting unprecedented deals. But the social and environmental costs are extraordinarily high as corporations mine the world's poorest regions and most vulnerable ecosystems. The growing power of big retail within these commodity chains is further increasing South-North inequities and unsustainable global consumption. Yet, as this book's highly original analysis uncovers, it is also creating some intriguing opportunities to promote more responsible business practices and better global forest governance.
