Summary:
Achevée en juin 1932, la villa Cavrois constitue un véritable choc esthétique moderne, dont les effets sont toujours perceptibles aujourd'hui. L'architecte Robert Mallet-Stevens accomplit là sa création la plus aboutie, grâce à la grande liberté que lui laissa son commanditaire, Paul Cavrois. Le concept de la villa est en soi passionnant car il s'agit d'une oeuvre de(...)

Achevée en juin 1932, la villa Cavrois constitue un véritable choc esthétique moderne, dont les effets sont toujours perceptibles aujourd'hui. L'architecte Robert Mallet-Stevens accomplit là sa création la plus aboutie, grâce à la grande liberté que lui laissa son commanditaire, Paul Cavrois. Le concept de la villa est en soi passionnant car il s'agit d'une oeuvre de transition entre l'architecture résidentielle traditionnelle et l'architecture moderne. C'est un véritable programme de " château moderne ". Ses proportions sont imposantes - près de 60 m de long, 3 000 m de surface - organisées selon les principes d'axialité et de symétrie des châteaux du XVIIe siècle. Si son concept reste traditionnel, tout est néanmoins conçu pour offrir le plus grand confort moderne. Cet album raconte l'histoire tourmentée de la villa et présente, dans un portfolio d'une cinquantaine d'images, ses transformations et vicissitudes, depuis son inauguration jusqu'à sa réouverture en 2015.

Summary:
At its founding, Boston was a small peninsula; over the last 375 years the city has doubled in size by filling in the surrounding tidal flats -areas covered with water at high tide and exposed at low. In "Walking tours of Boston's made land", historian Nancy Seasholes outlines twelve walks that trace where and why Boston's man-made land was created, and, along the way, uncovers fascinating and little-known pieces of Boston history. In the course of these walks - around the central waterfront, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, Charlestown, and elsewhere - she shows us how Boston's past is always just below the surface of its present. Each walk is accompanied by a map that shows the route and original shoreline. The walks are illustrated with historical maps, historical photographs and views, and current photographs. All walks are accessible by public transportation.

Summary:
Dans ces essais datant de la République de Weimar et, pour l'essentiel, parus dans le "feuilleton" du Frankfurter Zeitung, Siegfried Kracauer explore les nouveaux phénomènes culturels les spectacles de variétés, les revues de girls où les corps servent d'ornements mobiles, les " best-sellers ", le roman policier, le cinéma... Il s'en saisit pour réfléchir sur les ambivalences de la modernité, porteuse d'une promesse d'émancipation, mais aussi lourde de menaces de régression, comme en témoignera l'arrivée des Nazis au pouvoir en 1933. Méfiante envers les cadres théoriques trop rigides, qui barrent l'accès aux phénomènes, la pensée singulière de Kracauer se construit dans une confrontation directe et sensible avec la culture urbaine et ses formes culturelles : c'est en partant des "manifestations discrètes de surface" qu'il devient selon lui possible de déterminer le "lieu qu'une époque occupe dans le processus historique". Cet ouvrage constitue une des premières analyses lucides de la culture de masse.

Ces motifs géologiques, agricoles et humains racontent comment nous grandissons avec une histoire souterraine, enfouie dans notre mémoire. Ils évoquent notre faculté à nous arranger avec ce qui est là pour fabriquer autre chose, à jouer d’une alternance entre le dessous et le dessus, le dissimulé et l’apparent.

Summary:
Nothing is Hidden features both well-known and recent unpublished works by acclaimed Canadian photographer Lynne Cohen, beginning with images from the early 1970s. The book shows the consistency and depth with which she has mined her chosen theme of uninhabited domestic and institutional interior spaces. Depicting formally and not so formally arranged uncanny interiors, Cohen's photographs are sometimes wryly humorous, sometimes bleak, and frequently both. Her vision is informed by a profound feeling for the mystery in the ordinary, what is on the surface but out of sight. This is the first in a series of annual publications to be published by Steidl celebrating the winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award, Canada's largest contemporary photography award for an established Canadian artist. Scotiabank is a leader among Canadian corporations and internationally for its charitable donations and philanthropic activities. The award was established by photographer Edward Burtynsky with Jane Nokes of Scotiabank.

After a ten-year voyage and hundreds of millions of miles crossed through space, the probe entered the comet's orbit and stayed there for 18 months- a first in the history of space conquest. Its lander, Philae, a kind of miniature science laboratory, landed directly on Tchoury's surface to sample matter for analysis. The mission: to find some answers to the questions of the origins of the solar system and the emergence of life on Earth. Among the important data collected by the Rosetta probe were scores of new photographs of the comet, printed in this volume in vivid detail . ''The Comet'' also includes a text by Jean-Pierre Bilbring, an astrophysicist involved with the Rosetta project.

As major actors in the unfolding drama of climate change, glaciers feature prominently in Earth’s past and its future. Wherever on the planet we live, glaciers affect each of us directly. They control the atmospheric and ocean circulations that drive the weather; they supply drinking and irrigation water to millions of people; and they protect us from catastrophic sea-level rise. The very existence of glaciers affects our view of the planet and of ourselves, but it is less than two hundred years since we first realized that ice ages come and go and that glaciers once covered much more of the planet’s surface than they do now. An inspiration to artists and a challenge for engineers, glaciers mean different things to different people. Crossing the boundaries between art, environment, science, nature, and culture, this book considers glaciers from myriad perspectives, revealing their complexity, majesty, and importance—but also their fragility.

Summary:
"I have gathered a garland of other men's flowers," the French philosopher Montaigne famously wrote, "and nothing is mine but the cord that binds them." The first decade of the twenty-first century appears to belong to the collagist, for whom the creative act is not creation sui generis, but rather the collecting, cutting and pasting of the already extant. Collage, which began as an art meant to confound the brain with its disparate components, has jumped the flat surface, so that almost all musicians, designers, writers and bloggers might today be described as collage artists. "Collage Culture" contains two essays, buttressed by artworks and vividly typeset by Brian Roettinger. The first essay, by Mandy Kahn, chronicles collage's forays into the realms of music, fashion, literature and architecture. The second, by Aaron Rose, examines what he sees as the neutralization of countercultural energies in today's pic 'n' mix world.
