Summary:
"La marche à pied est une maladie chronique et inoffensive. Elle est commune à une grande part de l'humanité. On peut la rendre plus singulière en la pratiquant dans un espace déterminé, en lui consacrant régulièrement des comptes-rendus (il vaut mieux qu'ils soient brefs) et en assortissant ceux-ci de petites images (la linogravure convient parfaitement à ce genre d'exercice). C'est ce que j'ai fait à Marseille, durant les dix premières années du xxie siècle. Je marchais pour faire mes courses, pour aller au boulot, pour aller quelque part ou n'importe où ; je marchais pour marcher et me réjouissais à chaque pas que ma ville garde en tout lieu la faculté de me séduire, de me surprendre, de me perdre. Chaque semaine je livrais mon billet et ma gravure... Sans idée d'attirer le lecteur ici où là ni prétention de lui révéler quelque secret ; en mêlant simplement la réalité du quotidien à l'errance de mes pensées".

Moving between artistic practices, curatorial conversations, and reflections, the book approaches walking as a method for being together in public space.

Conceived as a portable companion, ''Walk Notations'' invites the readers to navigate the city otherwise—attentive to detours, thresholds, and the possibilities that emerge when paths are made collectively

Entre le vélo et Zola, son plus efficace ambassadeur à la fin du XIXe siècle, ce fut une histoire d'amour. Outre le plaisir de monter, le romancier y voyait un symbole de la modernité et avait le projet de lui consacrer un roman ; sa mort accidentelle l'en empêcha.

Outre le plaisir de monter, le romancier y voyait un symbole de la modernité et avait le projet de lui consacrer un roman ; sa mort accidentelle l'en empêcha. Antoine de Baecque a rassemblé dans ce grand éloge de la "petite reine" les articles de l'époque consacrés (parfois ironiquement) à cette passion de l'écrivain, les interviews de Zola lui-même sur le sujet, mais aussi sa correspondance et les pages de « Paris » (1897) et de « Fécondité » (1899) où le vélo tient le beau rôle.

Summary:
En novembre 1974, Werner Herzog apprend que son amie Lotte Eisner, critique et historienne du cinéma allemand, est très malade, on craint pour ses jours. Alors, il décide de se rendre auprès d’elle, à pied, de Munich à Paris. C’est un geste de chevalerie, un acte fou dicté par l’amitié, avec la certitude non moins folle qu’au bout du chemin Lotte Eisner serait vivante, et hors de danger. Du 23 novembre au 14 décembre 1974, il tient un carnet de route devenu depuis lors Sur le chemin des glaces. À travers cette marche qui anime de bout en bout le récit, Herzog nous réapprend à voir ce sur quoi notre œil glisse, indifférent. Tout ici est mouvement : chemins, fleuve, oiseaux, arbres, pluie, neige. Reportage mais aussi témoignage d’un homme qui nous fait partager tour à tour ses moments d’exaltation, d’épuisement, de plénitude.

Tourism does more than transforming spaces and forcing emotions: its geographies also conceal a persisting power that captures the imagination. In their operational sturdiness, tourismscapes appear intractable and inert, making their alternative renderings almost unthinkable.

Summary:
Tourism does more than transforming spaces and forcing emotions: its geographies also conceal a persisting power that captures the imagination. In their operational sturdiness, tourismscapes appear intractable and inert, making their alternative renderings almost unthinkable. It feels uncanny to picture islands and their coasts freed from programs of leisure. But in recent years, the exhaustion of people and landscapes has brought forth a renewed imperative to think outside this ubiquitous extractive industry. Through essays, pieces of fiction, and visual references, this book discusses both the difficulty and the necessity of disrupting the monocultural imaginations of tourism. To escape the devouring vortex of its sticky nature and messianic promises, the cultural and political work necessary is not only this of negation and resistance, but also that of bold re-conceptualizations and re-imaginings.

Les touristes ont longtemps été désirés et choyés. Mais en rangs trop serrés, ils ne sont plus accueillis à bras ouverts. Venise, New York, Barcelone ou Dubrovnik s’interrogent et réglementent.

Le surtourisme et la menace qu’il fait planer sur l’environnement, la nature, les populations locales, n’a jamais été autant d’actualité. Cet ouvrage identifie les raisons conduisant à la surfréquentation touristique, ainsi que les solutions et idées proposées pour lutter contre le phénomène, en s’inspirant des mesures déployées ici ou ailleurs. Voyage au pays du surtourisme s’adresse autant aux professionnels du tourisme qu’aux voyageurs.

Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? ''Atomic Albion'' is a journey around Britain's nuclear power stations and the country itself. From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the far north of Scotland, Tom Bolton explores how nuclear sites shape the places around them, and enters the impossible world of nuclear power and weapons.

Summary:
In Wanderlust: A History of Walking, Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories, of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyriths, of walking clubs and sexual mores, to create a portrait of the range of possibilities for this most basic act. Arguing that walking as history signifies walking for pleasure and for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit hones in on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from the peripatetic philosophers of ancient Greece to the poets of the romantic Age, from the perambulations of the Surrealists to the ascents of the mountaineers. Solnit's book finds a profound relationship between walking and thinking, walking and culture, and argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in an evermore automobile-dependent and accelerated world.

In 'Walking in Berlin', Hessel captures the rhythm of Weimar-era Berlin, recording the seismic shifts in German culture. Nearly all of the essays take the form of a walk or outing, focusing on either a theme or part of the city, and many end at a theater, cinema, or club. 'Walking in Berlin' was a central model for Benjamin’s Arcades Project and remains a classic of “walking literature” that ranges from Surrealist perambulation to Situationist “psychogeography.” This MIT Press edition includes the complete text in translation as well as Benjamin’s essay on 'Walking in Berlin', originally written as a review of the book’s original edition.
