The gardens were the final mise en scène of an elaborate ritual, which included the housing of the foreigners in Paris, their journey to Versailles, and their official audience with the king in the palace. A showcase for the achievements of royal artists, landscape architects, and hydraulic engineers, the gardens were soon regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world, proclaiming the wealth, power, and artistic taste of France and the French monarchy.

Summary:
Sarah Schrank in this book places the celebrated arrival of LA in the richer context of art controversies and political contests over modern art and art spaces in the twentieth century. Challenging historical accounts that situate the city's origins as an art center in the 1960s, she argues that debates over modernism among artists and civic leaders alike made art a charged political site as early as the 1910s. The legacy of those early battles reverberated throughout the century. Because of a rich tradition of arts education and the presence of Hollywood, Los Angeles historically hosted a talented population of contemporary artists. However, because of the snug relationship between urban aesthetics and capital investment that underscored the booster goals of the civic arts movement, modern artists were pushed out of public exhibition spaces until after World War II.

Summary:
Les jardins sont des lieux de respiration et de beauté qui ont de tout temps réhaussé l'éclat des civilisations. L'eau, source de vie, constitue l'un de leurs ornements majeurs. Retracer l'histoire de l'eau dans les jardins, du monde antique jusqu'aux plus récents, c'est à dire les situer dans l'histoire des mentalités, des sciences et des techniques, et suivre un parcours qui mène à un bon usage de l'eau. Dans les jardins anciens, les effets produits par des fontaines, par des jets d'eau ou simplement par un ruisseau ou un étang sont nés de rencontres parfois miraculeuses entre une certaine conception du bonheur et une image de la nature où convergent toutes les connaissances d'une époque. Aujourd'hui, les jardins contemporains utilisent toutes les possibilités de la technologie : l'eau fuse ou se faufile, elle apporte partout le mouvement et la lumière grâce à des jets d'eau informatisés, à des cascades recyclées ou à des brumisateurs. A une époque ou nous nous occupons de la gestion durable des ressources naturelles, cette technologie permet de conserver l'agrément des jardins et de tirer les plus beaux effets de l'eau tout en la préservant.

ASLEEP IN THE AFTERNOON tells about a shy and retiring physicist whose custom it is to sleep four or five hours every day. It is a strange practice, and appears to be due to the fact that he is deaf and unhappy about this defect. But presently it transpires that his deafness is only pretended; the real reason is that he has an active and aggressive wife from whom he seeks refuge. He wears a little hearing apparatus in his ear, even when he is sleeping in the afternoon; it turns out that it is not a hearing apparatus at all, but a device with which he is conducting experiments. It produces a kind of ray which effects the brain and causes sleep accompanied by delightful dreams.

It was published in this country (England) by Scribner's and had a considerable success. It is the story of a hard-working and serious-minded chemist who devotes himself to the problem of making synthetic sugar. Not being a chemist myself, I do not know how plausible Mr Large's formulas and processes would sound to a technical man, but they are convincing to the lay reader, and by the time we see the first supply of "Sunsap" coming out of the vats we believe in it, and are prepared to see the food industry revolutionized. But we have forgotten the profit-takers. Mr Large's hard-working chemist finds himself and his process tied into knots by the financiers." Upton Sinclair
