Summary:
À défaut d'une mobilisation générale contre les dérèglements climatiques, c'est bien le mot d'ordre du néolibéralisme mondial qui s'impose désormais : celui de l'adaptation. Devant cet avenir apocalyptique surgit l'énigme de l'inaction climatique : pourquoi ne se passe-t-il rien, ou si peu, au regard de la catastrophe annoncée ? Pour comprendre l'origine de nos impasses(...)

Summary:
À défaut d'une mobilisation générale contre les dérèglements climatiques, c'est bien le mot d'ordre du néolibéralisme mondial qui s'impose désormais : celui de l'adaptation. Devant cet avenir apocalyptique surgit l'énigme de l'inaction climatique : pourquoi ne se passe-t-il rien, ou si peu, au regard de la catastrophe annoncée ? Pour comprendre l'origine de nos impasses démocratiques, les auteurs interrogent le rôle des révolutions silencieuses dans l'organisation du travail, ainsi que la domination d'Hollywood dans l'imaginaire politique mondial. Apparaît alors toute la dimension idéologique du néolibéralisme, pour lequel les dérèglements climatiques n'annoncent pas un effondrement, mais bien une opportunité historique.. Dénonçant ces partis pris idéologiques, jusque dans la conception du vivant, les auteurs plaident pour un renouveau de l'imaginaire politique, avec l'espoir que naisse enfin une véritable génération climatique.

Summary:
In future, buildings that make sense from a bioclimatic perspective will not be the exception; planners will simply be expected to design them. With its wealth of facts, this book serves as a concrete aid to planning and design. With the planning process as its roadmap, it accompanies the planner rom the basic evaluation stage through conception and implementation planning all the way to building operation. The building-related characteristics of the various climatic zones form the basis for the made-to-measure development of integrated building solutions. Well-conceived graphics illustrate planning contexts and facilitate efficient planning decisions and realistic predimensioning. Materials, systems, and technologies are described, and their areas of application are pointed out. Reference parameters, costs, and the presentation of interrelationships equip the planner to make a strategic and well-informed selection.

Summary:
Depuis quelques années, les sciences humaines ont restitué aux sujets non humains leur rôle dans le déroulement de l'histoire du monde. Explosions volcaniques, épisodes de sécheresse, épidémies sont autant de causes naturelles qui expliquent, pour une grande part, les transformations de nos sociétés. Qu'en est-il en littérature ? Ne serait-il pas temps qu'un rôle majeur dans le déroulement du récit soit attribué au monde naturel ?. Plutôt qu'un simple décor devant lequel se déploient les actions humaines, le climat devrait aujourd'hui être pleinement considéré comme l'un des acteurs principaux du roman, un personnage à part entière, suscitant tragédies et romances. C'est ce que l'on perçoit en germe dans les nouvelles inédites proposées par Aurélien Bellanger, Marie Darrieussecq, Célia Houdart, Annie Lulu, Marielle Macé, Yamen Manaï, Samy Manga, Ryoko Sekiguchi, Peter Stamm, Abdourahman Waberi qui ont été invités à imaginer le monde du réchauffement climatique, avec une hausse des températures de 4 degrés Celsius, celui de notre planète à l'horizon de 2100.

Summary:
Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.

The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions. With the built environment doubling by 2030, buildings are a carbon juggernaut threatening to overwhelm the climate. Like never before in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of the sky with a massive positive impact.

Summary:
By changing our collective relationship with the planet, global warming has transformed the artist’s gaze. Curator Nicolas Bourriaud invites artists from around the world to question the contemporaneity of the Romantic concept of the sublime in the age of the Anthropocene. Today, the sublime, grounded in the connection between humans and nature, takes a new turn, defined as a feeling of ''delight tinged with horror''. The contrast between the individual and immensity thus becomes the aesthetic notion that determines our age. Bourriaud’s exhibition takes place in three acts: every exhibition is a forest; Charles Darwin and the coral reefs; and the tragic death of Nauru Island.

Summary:
Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1963, Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the field and remains an important reference for practitioners, teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound design concept.
