Ce livre pose la question de savoir si, au-delà des savoirs abstraits et des comportements individuels, éduquer pour le climat implique avant tout de réapprendre à voir et de réconcilier l'expérience sensible.

Summary:
Ce livre pose la question de savoir si, au-delà des savoirs abstraits et des comportements individuels, éduquer pour le climat implique avant tout de réapprendre à voir et de réconcilier l'expérience sensible. Nelson Mandela voyait en l'éducation « l’arme la plus puissante pour changer le monde ». La formule est belle, mais cette confiance aveugle dans les vertus de la pédagogie mérite d’être interrogée. Face à la catastrophe climatique, suffit-il de savoir pour agir, d’enseigner pour transformer nos modes de vie, de former la jeunesse pour sauver l’avenir ? Après des décennies d’alertes scientifiques, de programmes scolaires mais aussi de campagnes de sensibilisation par le biais de canaux variés, des ateliers de la Fresque du climat à la bande dessinée, l’éducation au climat peine toujours à mordre sur le réel. En réduisant l’enjeu à des faits scientifiques désincarnés et à une morale des petits gestes, elle invisibilise le danger et laisse intacts les infrastructures et les intérêts fossiles. Et si, au-delà des savoirs abstraits et des comportements individuels, éduquer pour le climat impliquait avant tout de réapprendre à voir et de réconcilier l’expérience sensible avec le débat politique ?

Summary:
From trips to the market to lighting entire cities, power is pivotal to the simplest of everyday necessities. Wars are fought over it, the planet is polluted by it, but now its price has become too high. Are we capable of shifting to cleaner, safer, more reliable sources of energy? Fueling the Future gathers the best and brightest minds in the field — thinkers like Jeremy Rifkin, L. Hunter Lovins, and Allison MacFarlane — and uses their collective wisdom to tackle this pressing question from several angles. The experts predict what a world without oil, which is estimated to run out in 50 years, would be like. What new energy alternatives are available? The use of hydrogen and fuel cells is examined, with surprising conclusions. Fresh, efficient prose makes the experts' controversial answers readable and engaging, as well as thought provoking.

Summary:
Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the design of the human environment. The analysis of biological constructions can not only lead to astonishing technical solutions but can also inspire the design of architecture. Bionics is a fascinating border area between pure research and practical application: biologists, chemists, physicists, mineralogists, and paleontologists meet up with material scientists, engineers, and architects and transfer their knowledge to architecture and construction. Using numerous practical examples, this illustrated introduction traces the process from the understanding of how something functions, to abstraction- ?for example, in computer models- ?and the construction of initial prototypes, through to fully functional manufacture and production.

Summary:
Do both the zoo and the mental hospital induce psychosis, as humans are treated as animals and animals are treated as humans? How have we looked at animals in the past, and how do we look at them today? How have zoos presented themselves, and their purpose, over time? In response to the emergence of environmental and animal studies, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, theorists, literature scholars, and historians around the world have begun to explore the significance of zoological parks, past and present. “Zoo Studies” considers the modern zoo from a range of approaches and disciplines, united in a desire to blur the boundaries between human and nonhuman animals. This collection immerses readers in the lives of animals and their experiences of captivity and asks us to reflect on our own assumptions about both humans and animals. “Zoo Studies” will change the way readers see nonhuman animals and themselves.

Summary:
In the summer of 1975, NASA brought together a team of physicists, engineers, and space scientists—along with architects, urban planners, and artists—to design large-scale space habitats for millions of people. This Summer Study was led by Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill, whose work on this topic had previously been funded by countercultural icon Stewart Brand’s Point Foundation. Two painters, the artist and architect Rick Guidice and the planetary science illustrator Don Davis, created renderings for the project that would be widely circulated over the next years and decades and even included in testimony before a Congressional subcommittee. A product of its time, this work is nevertheless relevant to contemporary modes of thinking about architecture. ''Space Settlements'' examines these plans for life in space as serious architectural and spatial proposals.
