This book takes that artifact to the next step, asking a group of artists and writers whether perhaps the museum should be planning a branch on the moon itself in the future. This thought-provoking little book riffs on the themes of space travel and colonization, with texts on site-specificity, history, space law and its global implications. Also included is a list of almost 800 songs which have the word "moon" in their title. In a world where eager buyers trade "moon lots" on the internet, is the whole idea of a moon museum so far fetched?

Résumé:
During a tumultuous period in the 1960s and 70s, a new generation of architects began their careers amidst a period of profound social change, new conditions for architecture and the city and lasting changes to popular and critical forms of cultural production. First Works tells the story of this period and reassesses the conditions of architecture and the beginnings of architectural careers through a selection of projects undertaken during the 60s and 70s. The book, accompanying a major travelling exhibition, presents a single key early project, in the form of models, sketches, photographs and drawings, by 20 young architectural practices, including Archigram, Aldo Rossi, Robert Venturi, Renzo Piano, Peter Eisenman, Herzog & de Meuron and Zaha Hadid. Alongside these ‘first works’, 20 invited critics, including Kenneth Frampton, Sylvia Lavin and Pier Vittorio Aureli, offer contemporary commentaries on these projects and their place within the architects’ subsequent careers.

For the most part, it's a rousing success. Some passages are flatly chronological, awkwardly wedging an abundance of factual detail into a routine dramatic structure. But each episode is devoted to a crucial aspect of the Apollo program. The cumulative effect is a deep and thorough appreciation of NASA's monumental achievement. With the help of a superlative cast, consistent writing, and a stable of talented directors, Hanks has shared his infectious enthusiasm for space exploration and the inspiring power of conquering the final frontier. 12 épisodes, 12 heures.

Résumé:
Par centaines de milliers, obéissant au mot d’ordre « Sortez ! » de Hu Jintao, les Chinois se ruent vers l’Afrique. Pour le pire parfois, pour le meilleur aussi. En échange de matières premières dont le continent noir regorge (pétrole, gaz, métaux, uranium, bois, poissons), l’Empire du Milieu développe l’Afrique et l’intègre dans la mondialisation. Pékin séduit de nombreux dictateurs – en ne posant aucune condition – avec des produits bon marché, drogue à forte accoutumance dans les pays pauvres jusque-là dépendants des produits occidentaux. Grâce à Pékin, l’Afrique, jadis victime de l’afro-pessimisme, vit un boum économique sans précédent. Pour la première fois, l’Afrique a le choix. Les Occidentaux, qui l’avaient laissé tomber, veulent y revenir. Seulement voilà, la place est souvent prise et des conflits se préparent… Qui sont ces aventuriers Chinois ? Dans quels pays vont-ils ? Pour y faire quoi ? Quel est le secret de leur succès ? Comment se passe la rencontre de ces deux mondes si différents ? Et avec quelles conséquences sur les droits de l’homme et l’environnement ? Pour répondre à ces questions, les auteurs ont parcouru quinze pays, sillonnant tout le continent à la rencontre de cette « Chinafrique », des forêts ratiboisées du Congo aux rivages venimeux du Nigeria, des sables militairement mouvants du Niger aux pipelines du Soudan, des souvenirs d’Egypte made in China aux restaurants gastronomiques de Douala, des campagnes misérables de la Chine à ce continent mystérieux qu’est l’Afrique pour les nouveaux aventuriers.
