Summary:
Extending the definition of ecology to encompass social relations and human subjectivity as well as environmental concerns, "The Three Ecologies" argues that the ecological crises that threaten our planet are the direct result of the expansion of a new form of capitalism and that a new ecosophical approach must be found which respects the differences between all living systems. A powerful critique of capitalism and a manifesto for a new way of thinking, the book is also an ideal introduction to the work of one of Europe's most radical thinkers.

Summary:
O-14: Projection and Reception explores the groundbreaking exo-skeleton office tower in Dubai by New York-based architects, Reiser+Umemoto. This monograph not only provides exhaustive documentation of O-14's design and construction but delves further into the complex interrelationships this architectural model weaves between technology, expression and politics in the context of the 'nowhere place' of the global city. The book is both an account of a design's realisation and a manifesto, and contains Jesse Reiser's explanatory and theoretical texts on the tower as well as a number of critical essays.

Summary:
Attention, selection and adaptation are the processes Michel Rojkind proposes in this spirited manifesto as key elements of his approach, addressing the architectural solutions to current problems in an increasingly complex and dynamic context. Alongside multifocal analysis from Alejandro Hernández Gálvez and conversations with Bjarke Ingels, Paul Nakazawa and Alejandro Aravena, Rojkind links concepts, experiences and opinions with intuition and sensitivity. His twisting, performative parametric forms take on new substance as Rojkind concludes that the best architects are not simply builders their attentive and focused reading of contemporary society is crucial to their craft.

Summary:
With this revised and expanded edition, Hickey is back to fan the flames. More manifesto than polite discussion, more call to action than criticism, The Invisible Dragon aims squarely at the hyper-institutionalism that, in Hickey’s view, denies the real pleasures that draw us to art in the first place. Deploying the artworks of Warhol, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Mapplethorpe and the writings of Ruskin, Shakespeare, Deleuze, and Foucault, Hickey takes on museum culture, arid academicism, sclerotic politics, and more—all in the service of making readers rethink the nature of art

Summary:
Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures explores the potential to shape a new public realm.

Summary:
Independent publishing, art publishing, publishing as artistic practice, publishing counterculture, and the zine, DIY, and POD scenes have proliferated over the last two decades. So too have art book fairs, an increasingly important venue?or even medium?for art. Art publishing experienced a similar boom in the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the culture's "linguistic turn." Today, art publishing confronts the internet and the avalanche of language and images that it enables. The printed book offers artists both visibility and tangibility. "Publishing Manifestos" gathers texts by artists, authors, editors, publishers, designers, zinesters, and activists to explore this rapidly expanding terrain for art practice.
