Summary:
Painter Ithell Colquhoun arrives in Cornwall in the late 1940s, searching for a studio and a refuge from bombed-out London. So begins a profound lifelong relationship with Britain’s westernmost county, a land surrounded by sea and steeped in myth, where the ancient Celtic past reaches into the present. Sacred and beautiful, wild and weird, ''Colquhoun’s Cornwall'' is a living landscape, where every tree, standing stone and holy well is a palimpsest of folklore – and a place where everyday reality speaks to the world beyond.

Le cinquième numéro de la revue annuelle qui s'attache à valoriser les savoir-faire et la technique dans le design, l'artisanat ou l'industrie, se penche sur le geste de tourner. Le monde tourne, et avec lui, tout ce qui est à sa surface : vous, moi, les arbres, la mer, les montagnes. On a beau se bercer de l'illusion que tout est immobile, la réalité, c'est qu'on est perpétuellement en mouvement. La planète fait des tours sur elle-même, elle tourne autour du soleil, et nous, là, au moment où je vous parle, on est en quelque sorte le produit de cette rotation : c'est grâce au cycle des jours, des saisons et des années que notre planète offre les conditions favorables à la vie. / The fifth issue of the annual magazine that promotes know-how and technique in design, craft or industry looks at the act of spinning. The world is spinning, and so is everything on it: you and me, the trees, the oceans, and the mountains. We may have deluded ourselves into thinking everything is stationary, but the reality is that we're perpetually in motion. The planet is spinning around its axis and orbiting around the sun, and in a way, at this very moment, we are all products of rotation: life on Earth is only possible because of the cycles of days, seasons, and years.

Moving beyond the usual forms endemic to the graphic design canon, "Designing history" studies bureaucratic instruments such as money, passports, certificates, property deeds and more.

Summary:
Moving beyond the usual forms endemic to the graphic design canon, "Designing history" studies bureaucratic instruments such as money, passports, certificates, property deeds and more. Such documents produce identity, assign ownership and ascribe value. They stabilize claims, memory and knowledge that would otherwise be vulnerable to contestation or obliteration. Despite their apparent banality, such documents are perhaps graphic design’s most profoundly consequential forms. This book is the revised edition of "Immutable: Designing history" (2022). It includes an extended essay that contextualizes the project as one concerned primarily with prompting a remapping of graphic design’s historical and practical assumptions.

Summary:
As Indigenous scientist and author of "Braiding sweetgrass" Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, "Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency."
