Summary:
It’s 2011 on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, and Sean Lohan is at a crossroads. The son of Colorado Buddhists, Sean wonders if he should accept his parents’ offer to join their natural cosmetics company or venture out on his own. When an art history professor opens Sean’s eyes to the contradictions of capitalism, he realizes he can’t avoid or transcend his own personal dilemmas and instead chooses to face them head-on. Sean’s ultimate decision to found a social enterprise leads him to China. At the same time, his close friend Jerry becomes entangled in a Google-like tech enterprise in California, and his girlfriend Samantha pursues her own high-minded interventions in Cuba—each path leading to increasingly risky and complex outcomes. In the roving literary style of Thomas Pynchon and Mathias Énard, this enthralling debut offers readers a fast-paced adventure through the diverging nuances of economics, spirituality, and extraction. In a period of increasing uncertainty, Koh-i-Noor is a timely doomscroll through four decades of globalization, generational change, and the search for one’s own values.

Summary:
In the middle of the salt-frosted Afghan desert, in a village so remote that Google can’t find it, a woman squats on top of a loom, making flowers bloom in the thousand threads she knots by hand. Here, where heroin is cheaper than rice, every day is a fast day. B-52s pass overhead—a sign of America’s omnipotence or its vulnerability, the villagers are unsure. They know,(...)

Summary:
In the middle of the salt-frosted Afghan desert, in a village so remote that Google can’t find it, a woman squats on top of a loom, making flowers bloom in the thousand threads she knots by hand. Here, where heroin is cheaper than rice, every day is a fast day. B-52s pass overhead—a sign of America’s omnipotence or its vulnerability, the villagers are unsure. They know, though, that the earth is flat—like a carpet. Anna Badkhen first traveled to this country in 2001, as a war correspondent. She has returned many times since, drawn by a land that geography has made a perpetual battleground, and by a people who sustain an exquisite tradition there. Through the four seasons in which a new carpet is woven by the women and children of Oqa, she immortalizes their way of life much as the carpet does—from the petal half-finished where a hungry infant needs care to the interruptions when the women trade sex jokes or go fill in for wedding musicians scared away by the Taliban.

Today we live in a world that can no longer be read as a two-dimensional map, but must now be understood as a series of vertical strata that reach from the satellites that encircle our planet to the tunnels deep within the ground.

Summary:
Today we live in a world that can no longer be read as a two-dimensional map, but must now be understood as a series of vertical strata that reach from the satellites that encircle our planet to the tunnels deep within the ground. In "Vertical", Stephen Graham rewrites the city at every level: how the geography of inequality, politics, and identity is determined in terms of above and below. Starting at the edge of earth’s atmosphere and, in a series of riveting studies, descending through each layer, Graham explores the world of drones, the city from the viewpoint of an aerial bomber, the design of sidewalks and the hidden depths of underground bunkers. He asks: why was Dubai built to be seen from Google Earth? How do the super-rich in São Paulo live in their penthouses far above the street? Why do London billionaires build vast subterranean basements? And how do the technology of elevators and subversive urban explorers shape life on the surface and subsurface of the earth?

Summary:
This book is an attempt to tell a story from the closest point of a source. Before it is supposed to be a gossip. Before the juice is added and still is a bit boring and stiff. When looking up at reliable sources like Wikipedia and Google, the word gossip: ''Originates from God-sib, he Godparent of one's child, referring to a relationship of close friendship'' and it is also: '' An event between loose mouthed assholes, that happens as soon as you get into high-school, and follows you all the way to your death bed. It never ends.'' It is also: '' In it's form one of the oldest and most common means of spreading and sharing facts, with a reputation of errors and other variations'' This we of course found highly interesting so we did this book based on that, about the variations of a story when it comes from the same source. To try it out we asked people from the graphics design department in the Rietveld Academy, to re-tell us a story we are supposed to know better than others.

L'ouvrage présente tous les types de bâtiments possibles, depuis les plus petites maisons individuelles ou l abribus, jusqu aux projets de construction à grande échelle tels que musées, usines ou aéroports, dans le monde entier. Pour chaque projet, l'Atlas présente les données clés : maître d ouvrage, superficie, coût de la construction et, nouveauté par rapport au précédent atlas, les coordonnées précises permettant de localiser le bâtiment via Google Earth ®. Illustré par de nombreux plans, coupés et élévations ainsi que des photographies intérieures et extérieures, chacun des bâtiments est décrit et analysé dans un texte court et clair qui souligne à la fois les singularités du projet et les contraintes auxquelles les plus grands architectes actuels comme ceux de la jeune génération ont trouvé des solutions pertinentes et innovantes.

Summary:
Mapmaking has been an essential part of human development since ancient times: through the art of cartography, people have been able to record geographical explorations and communicate spatial information in relation to themselves and the land around them, using fixed points and lived experiences as references. In the digital age, maps are just as likely to convey the relationships between individual users and amorphous data as they are to depict the relationships between human beings and the stars and planets above. "Blind maps and blue dots" examines the impact of the omnipresent computer on current understandings of data visualization and graphic design, in which the boundaries between producers and users of maps has become increasingly blurred. This text is structured around three contemporary mapmaking practices: Google Maps' location function, referred to as the Blue Dot; a global map that displays the physical activity of users of the fitness app Strava; and the 'Situation in Syria' maps series, a regularly updated map of the Syrian conflict designed by an Amsterdam teenager. Like every other field, graphic design must evolve to reflect the modern world and the needs of its people. "Blind maps and blue dots" offers a new approach that acknowledges and even encourages the breakdown of the binary between producer and user.
