Summary:
"The pencil perfect" takes its namesake’s four simple ingredients – wood, graphite, clay, and water – and narrates a tale of worldwide influence and innovation. Caroline Weaver, pencil connoisseur and CW Pencil Enterprise Shop owner, composes texts that extol the nuanced influence of her beloved and humble implement. Illustrations exclusively drawn for "The pencil perfect" by Oriana Fenwick, an artist from Zimbabwe who works with fine details and intense realism, pair with Weaver’s words to present a story that is both endearing and enlightening. Through profiles of pencil makers, anecdotes about famous writers’ favorite pencils, and essays about the surprising role of pencils in world history and culture, the chronicle of a modest but mighty tool unfolds. Follow the charming contrivance as it guides the course of early communication in the Scientific Revolution, the American Revolutionary War, the Anglo-French War, and the French Revolution: it is a historical journey and a captivating memoir. See how its past contemporarily compares with its use and appearance today – from the Blackwing 602 to novelty ferrules. The development of cultures and communities is laid bare within the timeline of this slender entity. "The pencil perfect" immortalizes the biography of an inanimate object within its pages for a future cast of historians, writers, and curious minds.

In "Urban revolutions," Stefan Kipfer shows how these struggles force us to understand the (neo-)colonial aspects of capitalist urbanization in a comparatively and historically nuanced fashion.

Summary:
What do struggles over pipelines in Canada, housing estates in France, and shantytowns in Martinique have in common? In "Urban revolutions," Stefan Kipfer shows how these struggles force us to understand the (neo-)colonial aspects of capitalist urbanization in a comparatively and historically nuanced fashion. In so doing, he demonstrates that urban research can offer a rich, if uneven, terrain upon which to develop the relationship between Marxist and anti-colonial intellectual traditions. After a detailed dialogue between Henri Lefebvre and Frantz Fanon, Kipfer engages creole literature in the French Antilles, Indigenous radicalism in North America and political anti-racism in mainland France.

Summary:
23 mai 1871. Tandis que les derniers communards sont repoussés vers l'est de Paris par les troupes versaillaises, le palais des Tuileries est livré aux flammes. Douze ans plus tard, ses ruines sont totalement démolies. Qui se souvient encore de cet édifice exceptionnel où se joua le destin de la France ? Construit à partir de 1564 à l'initiative de Catherine de Médicis, le château des Tuileries constitua d'abord un authentique chef-d'oeuvre architectural, dont le destin fut étroitement lié à celui du palais du Louvre, auquel il finit par être entièrement relié sous le Second Empire. Son magnifique jardin à la française - conçu par André Le Nôtre en 1665 - reste à ce jour la promenade la plus célèbre de la capitale. Résidence officielle de tous les souverains à partir de 1789 et centre du pouvoir, le château devint le théâtre de nombreux événements historiques, de la chute de la monarchie en 1792 à celle de l'Empire en 1870 en passant par la fuite de Louis XVI à Varennes, le divorce de Napoléon 1er et Joséphine, la mort de Louis XVIII, l'abdication de Charles X, la chute de Louis-Philippe et le mariage de Napoléon III.

Summary:
In "AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE!" Cj Reay of Black Lodge Press reflects upon their relationship to DIY print culture, zines, and the politics of art production. Reay lays out a history of DIY print and the people's press: from chapbooks produced during the French revolution to the zines made in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, while outlining their own personal engagement with reading, music, and art that agitates, angers, and incites action. For Cj Reay, growing up in rural Northern England, the inherently anti-capitalist nature of DIY culture provided a connection to radical working class movements and the politics of anarchy: "living breathing movements of resistance and joy and complexity and disappointment and boundless optimism.'" Co-published with Black Lodge Press, "AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE!" is a zine about the beauty and radical power of creating art without permission.
