Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.

Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond.

Summary:
Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen is dissolving. By 2047, the border will likely not exist. Integration with the Mainland will remove distinctions created by the "One Country Two Systems" policy. The uncertainty surrounding what will happen has created anxiety relating to law, identity, freedom of speech, and voting rights. Caught in this debate is the Frontier Closed Area, a 1951 undeveloped buffer zone of estuaries, fish farms, forests, villages and military posts. In contrast, Shenzhen, has exploded into a metropolis of 15 million plus. The book explores this unique border ecology. Design strategies inserted within this ecology promote alternate forms of development. The example widens the discourse on borders to raise critical issues that impact the contemporary city.

Pour Beatriz Colomina, historienne de l'architecture à l'université de Princeton, le mythe patriotique du carré de pelouse (lawn) et le combat jardinier quotidien pour le maintien et l'embellissement de cette interface domestique de la famille et de la communauté reflètent une certaine conception du sol américain et de son paysage. Mais ils révèlent surtout une conception de la démocratie et de ses valeurs associées : libertés fondamentales, propriété privée et poursuite du bonheur, trilogie littéralement boostée durant la phase d'émergence de l'Americain Way of Life et de la Cold War. En menant une enquête visuelle et culturelle aussi serrée que passionnante, l'historienne répond à ces trois questions.

Il s’agit à présent de la création, c’est-à-dire de la poïétique d’un monde autre que l’insoutenable monde actuel. Insoutenable, notre monde l’est puisque non viable écologiquement, injustifiable moralement (car de plus en plus inégalitaire), et inacceptable esthétiquement (car il « tue le paysage »). Dans la réarticulation cosmologique du Vrai (ici l’adéquation de notre mode de vie aux capacités de la Terre), du Bien et du Beau, les auteurs ont donc été invités à imaginer un nouveau poème du monde, au-delà de la modernité qui l’a fait taire en disjoignant les champs respectifs de la technoscience, de l’éthique et de l’esthétique.
