ABOUT THIS BOOK From the late Herbert Muschamp, the former architecture critic of The New York Times and one of the most outspoken and influential voices in architectural criticism, a collection of his best work. The pieces here—from The New Republic, Artforum, and The New York Times—reveal how Muschamp’s views were both ahead of their time and timeless.

The Universe: A Biography makes cosmology accessible to everyone. John Gribbin navigates the latest frontiers of scientific discovery to tell us what we really know about the history of the universe.

Jean-Paul Viguier nous parle de sept de ses plus grands chantiers architecturaux. Le Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Toulouse, la Médiathèque de Reims, un musée d'archéologie près du pont du Gard, un autre d'art moderne à San Antonio, un immeuble au centre de Budapest ou encore à Nîmes, etc. : quoi de commun entre ces différents projets ? Une même recherche : aller plus haut, être plus léger, plus transparent, utiliser le moins de matière possible pour le plus grand effet, bref être moderne. Une même ambition : mettre l'architecture contemporaine à l'épreuve dans un monde à la recherche de nouveaux repères, mais qui les regarde parfois avec crainte ; savoir s'insérer dans un site très chargé historiquement. Cette recherche et cette ambition, ce sont celles qui inspirent depuis toujours Jean-Paul Viguier.

Summary:
British historian Poole reveals the behind-the-scenes story of the first photographs taken of Earth from space, and how those amazing images forever changed our view of the planet, the universe and humanity. The tightly scheduled 1968 Apollo 8 mission was focused on the first lunar orbit, but "Earthrise"--the image of a cloudy blue Earth rising over a starkly monochromatic lunar surface--stunned everyone. Astronaut Frank Borman called it "the most beautiful, heart-catching sight of my life." NASA, at the forefront of the "astrofuturist" movement that saw humanity's future out among the stars, was unprepared for the paradoxical reaction "Earthrise" provoked. Rather than turning people's eyes on a future in space, it refocused them on Earth.
