Summary:
À l’heure où la « collapsologie » tente de s’inviter dans le monde universitaire, d’autres modes de pensée perpétuent l’absence de prise en compte des limites : limites physiques et historiques du corps humain, limites des ressources de la planète. Ni promotrice du transhumanisme, ni annonciatrice d’une apocalypse écologique, l’histoire naturelle nous invite à s’éloigner d’un extrême optimisme autant que d’un extrême pessimisme. Au premier, elle rappelle l’historicité des êtres vivants et les limites qu’elle impose; aux seconds elle invite à se pencher sur les échelles de temps et d’espace par lesquels elle comprend le vivant. Crises et effondrement pour qui ou pour quoi? A quelle échéance? Corps augmenté, pour qui? Limites, échelles de temps et d’espace, telles sont les notions permettant à l’histoire naturelle d’envisager notre avenir.

Summary:
The Air from Other Planets introduces an architecture built and controlled by amplifying and designing the energy within our electromagnetic, thermodynamic, acoustic, and chemical environment. This approach to design exchanges the walls and shells we have assumed to be the only type of attainable architecture for a range of material energies that develops its own shapes, aesthetics, organizational systems, and social experiences.

Summary:
In 1909 the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched a monumentally ambitious project : to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth. An internationalist and pacifist, Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome - the world's first portable, true-color photographic process - to create a global photographic archive that would promote cross-cultural understanding and peace. Over the next twenty years, he sent a group of photographers to more than fifty countries around the world, amassing more than 72,000 images. Until recently his collection was all but forgotten. Now, a century after he began his "Archives of the Planet" project, this book - richly illustrated in color throughout - and the BBC series it follows are bringing Kahn's early twentieth-century pictures to a wide audience for the first time, and putting color into what we usually think of as a monochrome world.
