Summary:
Malgré son succès d'estime, l'agriculture biologique demeure marginale au Québec. Sa part dans notre panier d'alimentation ne dépasse guère 2 % et ne progresse pas significativement depuis 10 ans. Comment expliquer ce phénomène ? Dans Les champs de bataille, Roméo Bouchard reprend son bâton de pèlerin pour fustiger les politiques agricoles, le monopole syndical et la mainmise de l'industrie sur l'agroalimentaire qui sont selon lui à l'origine de cette stagnation. Rendant hommage au travail des pionniers d'une agriculture écologique et de proximité, l'auteur retrace l'évolution de la filière biologique au Québec et expose les défis auxquels doivent faire face les agriculteurs alternatifs d'aujourd'hui. Absence de volonté politique et de moyens financiers adéquats pour soutenir leurs activités, prix inabordable des terres et contraintes rigides de la "Loi sur la protection du territoire et des activités agricoles", imposition de normes sanitaires industrielles et harcèlement des inspecteurs du gouvernement, absence d'organisation corporative pour défendre leurs intérêts, remise en question de l'utilité et de la crédibilité de la certification bio : les agriculteurs artisans, abandonnés à leur sort, ne peuvent décidément compter que sur eux-mêmes. Dans la foulée du rapport Pronovost, 'ex-président de l'Union paysanne insiste sur l'urgence de faire un choix politique en faveur du bio, la seule agriculture de l'avenir pour notre environnement et notre santé. Il est temps de redonner au paysan la place qu'il n'aurait jamais dû perdre.

Ce qui nous arrive n’est pas une crise environnementale, c’est une révolution géologique d’origine humaine. Depuis la révolution thermo-industrielle, notre planète a basculé vers un état inédit. Les traces de notre âge urbain, consumériste, chimique et nucléaire resteront des milliers voire des millions d’années dans les archives géologiques de la planète et soumettront les sociétés humaines à des difficultés considérables. Comment en sommes-nous arrivés là ? Faisant dialoguer science et histoire, les auteurs dressent l’inventaire écologique d’un modèle de développement devenu insoutenable, ébranlent bien des idées reçues sur notre prétendue « prise de conscience environnementale » et ouvrent des pistes pour vivre et agir politiquement dans l’Anthropocène.

Through a series of case studies, including the construction of the Bloor Viaduct, civic beautification plans, urban reform in “the Ward,” immigration and citizenship, and Goss’s portrait photography, Bassnett exposes how photographs were at the heart of debates over what the city should look like, how it should operate, and under what conditions it was appropriate for people to live.

Summary:
The first authoritative book on the history of the Glass House property—Philip Johnson’s fifty-year project of iconic modernist design, encompassing the remarkable buildings, landscape, and follies. From its completion in 1949 to the present day, Philip Johnson’s Glass House has drawn cognoscenti and the curious from around the world to New Canaan, Connecticut, to experience what might be the most photographed modernist residence in America. The property—an architectural playground on forty-seven acres with eleven Johnsonian follies dating from 1949 to 1995—is an icon of twentieth-century architectural and landscape design. The book chronicles how Philip Johnson and David Whitney, the architect and the plantsman, lived on the property for decades and used the landscape as an ever-changing canvas for their designs—the result of a unique synthesis of influences and ideas from across history and geography. New research reveals Johnson’s and Whitney’s interaction with the landscape and the evolution of the site from a five-acre parcel to a world-renowned gentlemanly estate for modern times. The Philip Johnson Glass House—beautifully illustrated with vintage and commissioned photography—will be a must-have for connoisseurs of architecture, landscape design, photography, and social history.

In cooperation with Ilka and Andreas Ruby, MVRDV assembled a monographic overview of 20 years of architectural practice, "MVRDV Buildings", now available in a new, updated edition. Featuring user testimonies, journalistic articles, and previously unpublished images and drawings, "MVRDV Buildings"surveys the realized work to date of one of the world’s top architecture bureaus. Acclaimed for its visionary research and thought-provoking projects such as Pig City (a high-rise landscape designed to solve lack-of-space problems for the pig meat industry in the Netherlands) and Grand Paris (a proposal to join Paris and its suburbs into a high-density "post-Kyoto city" by 2030), MVRDV has realized a stunning portfolio of buildings and urban plans. This volume includes MVRDV’s famous projects, such as Villa VPRO (Hilversum), WoZoCo (Amsterdam), Balancing Barn (Suffolk, UK) and Edificio Mirador (Madrid), and explores these with a characteristically inquisitive attitude. How do these buildings perform? What is life like in a blue house (in Didden Village, near Rotterdam), on an orange tribune (The Why Factory, situated within a courtyard at Delft University of Technology), in a vertical shopping street (the Gyre Shopping Center in Tokyo) or inside a mountain of books (the Book Mountain library in Spijkenisse)?
