Résumé:
Bruno Munari (1907-1998) has been no doubt the most eclectic italian artist-designer. Since his very first experiences in the 30s among the artists of the Second Futurism, he always dedicated his creative activity to every form of “experimentation”, with a particular attention to the world of children and their games and toys. His works in the fields of painting, sculpture, design, photography and didactics cross their languages and poetics following the path of his very personal inventiveness.

Résumé:
In the late eighteenth century, the British took greater interest than ever before in observing and recording all aspects of the natural world. Travelers and colonists returning from far-flung lands provided dazzling accounts of such exotic creatures as elephants, baboons, and kangaroos.

Résumé:
In the late eighteenth century, the British took greater interest than ever before in observing and recording all aspects of the natural world. Travelers and colonists returning from far-flung lands provided dazzling accounts of such exotic creatures as elephants, baboons, and kangaroos. The engraver Thomas Bewick (1753–1828) harnessed this newfound interest by assembling the most comprehensive illustrated guide to nature of his day. "A General History of Quadrupeds", first published in 1790, showcases Bewick’s groundbreaking engraving techniques that allowed text and images to be published on the same page. From anteaters to zebras, armadillos to wolverines, this delightful volume features engravings of over four hundred animals alongside descriptions of their characteristics as scientifically understood at the time. Quadrupeds reaffirms Bewick’s place in history as an incomparable illustrator, one whose influence on natural history and book printing still endures today. With a new foreword by Yann Martel.

Résumé:
Et si le monde du livre faisait enfin sa transition écologique ? Quand on est autrice, éditrice, graphiste, imprimeur, diffuseur, libraire ou bibliothécaire, comment transformer ses pratiques et convaincre ses collègues de s'y atteler? Ce livre propose d'abord un état des lieux des enjeux actuels de la filière, qu'il s'agisse de fabrication, de transport et de commercialisation. Il décrit les limites d'une économie de l'offre, qui se noie dans la surproduction et concourt à la précarisation de celles et ceux qui la font vivre. Il n'évite pas les sujets qui fâchent, comme l'essor du marché du livre d'occasion, suspecté de nuire à l'édition et à la librairie, ou les déséquilibres dans le partage de la valeur entre les différents acteurs de la chaîne du livre.Ce livre est un plaidoyer en faveur de nouveaux équilibres économiques, qui se donne comme horizon la post-croissance, l'économie circulaire et la promotion de la lecture auprès de tous les publics. Il explore des pistes concrètes pour changer de modèle et décrit les nombreuses initiatives prises depuis quelques années par les acteurs du secteur.Ce livre est enfin une invitation à participer à l'essaimage de nouvelles idées et pratiques. S'il s'adresse aux professionnels et futurs professionnels du monde du livre, il intéressera également les lectrices et lecteurs soucieux de mieux comprendre les rouages et impasses du modèle actuel, afin d'imaginer les leviers pour le réinventer. Fruit d'un travail collectif, « Ceci n'est pas un livre vert » est en soi un terrain d'expérimentation. Il a été édité dans le souci d'optimiser son écoconception, de limiter l'extraction de ressources nécessaires à sa production, de favoriser sa circulation et de garantir un partage équitable des revenus générés par sa vente - autant de tentatives documentées dans ses pages.

Résumé:
A book about extraordinary books that deliberately withdraw from the international book trade; A register containing 1,800 recent publications printed on paper, circulating without an International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

This first, richly illustrated reader has been compiled by a team of editors uniting the areas of conceptual art, media theory, and cultural studies. It thus offers a navigational aid in the discovery of new, uncharted terrain.
