Summary:
This multi-layered book chronicles the development of Vienna's biggest new park since 1974, Rudolf-Bednar-Park. The story starts with the city's design competition, won by Swiss landscape architect Guido Hager, and follows the planning and construction process right up to the park's opening in 2008. Hager's plans considered every possible constituency for the park - families, singles, young, old, women, men - and how they would be woven into the neighborhood, an inner-city district of Vienna under intense redevelopment. The book even includes a section on the plant material chosen, and how it will appear season-by-season.

Summary:
Todd Presner, David Shepard, and Yoh Kawano put digital humanities theory into practice to chart the proliferating cultural records of places around the world. A digital platform transmogrified into a book, it explains the ambitious online project of the same name that maps the historical layers of city spaces in an interactive, hypermedia environment. The authors examine the media archaeology of Google Earth and the cultural–historical meaning of map projections, and explore recent events—the “Arab Spring” and the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster—through social media mapping that incorporates data visualizations, photographic documents, and Twitter streams.

Summary:
From scientific discoveries to animist beliefs, plants are an inexhaustible source of stories that reveal our most intimate desires and fears. Photography is the primary witness to his phenomenon. ''Science/Fiction'' questions human projections and representations of the vegetal world, bringing to light the subjectivity, intelligence and expressive abilities of plants. The publication traces a visual history of plants, linking art, technology and science from the mid-19th century to the present day through two conceptual frameworks: scientific and fictional. Bringing together more than 30 artists across different periods of time and parts of the world, it employs the logic of the science fiction novel, taking us from a stable, identifiable world and gradually plunging us into uncertain landscapes.

Summary:
''The Alphabet of New Plants'' makes direct reference to Karl Blossfeldt’s 1928 ''The Alphabet of Plants'', German photographer Robert Voit (born 1969) assembles an archive of "new" flowers and portrays them against a neutral background, playfully exposing man’s urge to imitate nature. Voit’s earlier series, ''New Trees'', also addressed the imitation of nature, featuring large-format photographs of mobile telephone antennae that blend into the landscape camouflaged as trees, cacti or palm trees. Extending these themes, Voit blurs the distinction between the natural and the artificial with the meticulous close-ups of this new volume.
