Summary:
'Handbook of Tyranny' portrays the routine cruelties of the 21st century through a series of detailed nonfictional graphic illustrations. None of these cruelties represent extraordinary violence—they reflect day-to-day implementation of laws and regulations around the globe. Every page of the book questions our current world of walls and fences, police tactics and prison cells, crowd control and refugee camps. The dry and factual style of storytelling through technical drawings is the graphic equivalent to bureaucratic rigidity born of laws and regulations. The level of detail depicted in the illustrations of the book mirrors the repressive efforts taken by authorities around the globe.

Summary:
By turns historical, critical, and personal, this book examines the use of art—and love—as a resource amid the recent wave of shootings by American police of innocent black women and men. Darby English attends to a cluster of artworks created in or for our tumultuous present that address themes of racial violence and representation idiosyncratically, neither offering solutions nor accommodating shallow narratives about difference. For English, the consideration of art is a paradigm of social life, because art is something we must share. To Describe a Life is an invitation to rethink what life in ongoing crisis is and can be—and, indeed, to discover how art can help.

Images à charge, la construction de la preuve par l'image, livre de l'exposition éponyme, présente, à travers dix cas, comment par l'élaboration d'un protocole l'image se construit pour devenir preuve. Des méthodes de prises de vue scientifiques mises au point par Alphonse Bertillon, criminologue travaillant pour la Préfecture de police de Paris à la fin du XIXe siècle, aux premières images aériennes du front réalisées par l'armée durant la Première Guerre mondiale jusqu'aux clichés permettant d'identifier les victimes de la Grande Purge de Staline, la photographie depuis plus de 150 ans sert de preuve, témoigne du crime : elle atteste d'une certaine réalité et tend ainsi à rendre une vérité.

Summary:
In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier David Boyd sets out to remedy Canada's environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canada's environmental laws and policies with those in the US, Australia, and the EU, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the causes of Canada's second-rate standards. Finally, he prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world's environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.
