�This book is based on my experiences as secretary of the interior up to the time I left office with the coming of a new administration in 2001. It makes the case, through the use of specific examples, for a more assertive and meaningful federal role in land use planning.

Summary:
�This book is based on my experiences as secretary of the interior up to the time I left office with the coming of a new administration in 2001. It makes the case, through the use of specific examples, for a more assertive and meaningful federal role in land use planning. And the book illustrates how that goal can be achieved, not by a lot of new legislation, but by reshaping existing federal programs that affect the way we use and develop our land and water resources- highway programs, farm programs, flood control, energy development, and urban programs to provide incentives for states to prepare land use and water resource plans that include open space, hazard mitigation, sustainable water supplies, and interconnected landscapes that sustain both wildlife and the human spirit.

Summary:
Ce numéro est placé sous le signe de ce qui dépasse l'entendement. La liste serait longue de ces événements catastrophiques du dernier demi-siècle qui ont laissé des traces amères sur nos idéaux démocratiques. L'actualité des arts visuels contemporains ramène à la mémoire quelques-uns de ces moments d'excès : le choc du 11 septembre 2001; la boucherie du débarquement allié sur les côtes normandes de 1942 ; la paranoïa nucléaire liée à l'escalade de la guerre froide ; l'ampleur et l'inhumanité des dégâts de la guerre du Vietnam. Il faudrait ajouter à cette liste une évocation de la Shoah, des bombes d'Hiroshima et de Nagasaki, et du récent génocide rwandais pour donner un portrait un peu plus complet de cette portion d'histoire. Portfolio : Melvin Charney, Bertand Carrière, Liza Nguyen, Denis Farley.

Summary:
"Phrases" presents the spoken language from six films by Jean-Luc Godard: "Germany Nine Zero," "The Kids Play Russian," "JLG / JLG," "2 x 50 Years of French Cinema," "For Ever Mozart," and "In Praise of Love." Completed between 1991 and 2001, during what has been called Godard’s "years of memory," these films and videos were made alongside and in the shadow of his major work from that time, the monumental Histoire(s) du cinema, complementing and extending its themes. Like Histoire(s), they offer meditations on, among other things, the tides of history, the fate of nations, the work of memory, the power of cinema, and the nature of love. Gathered here, in written form, they are words without images: not exactly screenplays, not exactly poetry, but something else entirely.

Summary:
Compiled in 2001 to commemorate the passing of an era, Hatred of Capitalism brings together highlights of Semiotext(e)'s most beloved and prescient works. Semiotext(e)'s three-decade history mirrors the history of American thought. Founded by French theorist and critic Sylvere Lotringer as a scholarly journal in 1974, Semiotext(e) quickly took on the mission of melding French theory with the American art world and punk underground. Its Foreign Agents, Native Agents, Active Agents and Double Agents imprints have brought together thinkers and writers as diverse as Gilles Deleuze, Assata Shakur, Bob Flanagan, Paul Virillio, Kate Millet, Jean Baudrillard, Michelle Tea, William S. Burroughs, Eileen Myles, Ulrike Meinhof, and Fanny Howe. In Hatred of Capitalism, editors Kraus and Lotringer bring these people together in the same volume for the first time.

Summary:
How has Berlin’s urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man’s land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city’s most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve—forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large.

Summary:
"An industry manager who left his white-blue, silver-shimmering world of car bodywork and dove into the pitch-black, mysterious world of architecture for the first time during a competition asked me one day: "Ms Rau, why do architects actually wear black?" Although I was wearing black and I am an architect I didn’t have a spontaneous answer, so I responded: "Ask the other architects!" That was in 2001, and it is why this small book came to be. I have asked the question at an international level and whenever it seems appropriate ever since. The sometimes amusing and other times programmatic or hair-splitting answers I have received over the last seven years are listed chronologically in this little black volume. Read, and please, don’t ask me why architects wear black!"

Summary:
The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, internationally renowned for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden containing an outstanding array of fountains, nymphaea, grottoes, water features and atmospheric sound effects. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, the garden is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance gardens in Europe. Villa d’Este was first conceived of in 1550 by the governor of Tivoli, Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, who had long envisioned a garden built on the slopes of the valley known as Valle Gaudente. But it was only after 1560 that the villa’s architectural and iconological blueprint was defined by painter-archaeologist-architect Pirro Ligorio and executed by court architect Alberto Galvani. When Ippolito d’Este died in 1572, the project was nearly complete.

Price:

Summary:
This publication is based on the principle that the most innovative design ideas are probably not the ones passing through patent offices. Functioning as a visual dictionary of everyday ingenuity and self-sufficiency, and spanning Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, it catalogues inspiring examples of the creative repurposing of detritus, and of overlooked land, by ordinary people — whether for reasons of subsistence, politics or sheer artistry. Thus, a flowerpot and a section of a fence become an improvised barbeque; a tree stump on a sidewalk is carved into a makeshift one-seater. The innovations are classified as either "objects" or "actions," demonstrating a decentralized but palpable European movement conscious of avoiding waste. The book features an essay by the artist and designer Daniele Pario Perra, who in 2001 began the Design on the Cheap database.

Summary:
Les Américains sont-ils vraiment insensibles aux malheurs de la planète ? American Ecolo raconte une Amérique peu connue : celle des cantines scolaires et des cimetières, des autoroutes tentaculaires du Texas et des banlieues campagnardes du Nebraska, des usines à bétail biologique et des petits poulaillers urbains, des loisirs familiaux et des comportements insolites de certaines féministes, et aussi des hippies modernes et des scientifiques époustouflants. Toute une culture dont on n’imagine pas qu’elle soit si différente de la nôtre. Les États-Unis ont changé au cours de la première décennie du XXIe siècle, bousculés par trois évènements choc : l’attentat du 11 septembre 2001, l’ouragan Katrina en août 2005, et l’élection de Barak Obama en novembre 2008. Cette évolution est chroniquée par une Française devenue binationale, lestée d’une sensibilité particulière pour les choses de l’écologie.
