Des innombrables carnets d'expédition qui tapissent les étagères de son bureau à Montpellier, il a extrait un échantillon des spécimens les plus étonnants. De Codariocalyx motorius, la plante qui danse, aux Solanaceae d'Argentine, ces arbres souterrains dont on n'aperçoit qu'un tapis de feuilles au sol, leurs modes de développement et d'adaptation dépassent souvent notre compréhension pour enchanter notre imagination. Exubérantes, énigmatiques, dotées d'aptitudes surprenantes, les merveilles végétales présentées dans ce cabinet de curiosités inattendu plaident en faveur de la sauvegarde des forêts tropicales aujourd'hui gravement menacées.

Résumé:
As gentrification threatens to uproot neighbourhoods across the world, the flame of co-operative housing has been reignited while the concept of community landownership has the potential to turn the tide and put the destiny of our cities into the hands of residents.Villages in Cities takes us across North America to Montreal, Boston, Vermont, and Mississippi, presentingconcrete examples of citizens taking back the land and claiming their right to secure housing. It also acts as a guidebook to contemporary urban struggles through fertile archival material from the Milton Parc struggle, which is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.Villages in Cities presents a succinct portrait of the problems facing the ownership of urban land, the challenge of contesting the State’s presupposed legitimacy in determining our urban future, and the contradictions these elements imply. n Montreal in 1968, speculators announced their ‘urban renewal’ plan to demolish six blocks of the downtown heritage neighborhood of Milton Parc in order to build enormous high-rise condos, hotels, office buildings, and shopping malls. The local community viewed this as a declaration of war. What followed was a remarkable struggle that not only saved the heritage architecture from destruction but also protected local residents from gentrification through the creation of the largest nonprofit cooperative housing project on an urban community land trust in North America. And Milton Parc is not unique. Villages in Cities takes us across North America—to New York, Boston, Burlington, Oakland, Jackson, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver—to show concrete examples of citizens taking back the land and claiming their right to secure housing. The book draws connections among these projects, examines their underlying causes, and connects them with a holistic “Right to the City” movement that is emerging internationally.

Do you skim articles on your screen in search of intellectual stimulation that never arrives? If so, this book is the philosophical lifeline you have been waiting for. Offering a timely meditation on the profound effects of constant immersion in technology, also known as the ''Interface,'' ''Wish I Were Here'' draws on philosophical analysis of boredom and happiness to examine the pressing issues of screen addiction and the lure of online outrage. Without moralizing, Mark Kingwell takes seriously the possibility that current conditions of life and connection are creating hollowed-out human selves, divorced from their own external world.

Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanized home or the notion that technology might free us from the home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are the smart homes of today and patterns of use in the sharing economy the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has the “home” proved resistant to radical change? "Home Futures: Living in Yesterday’s Tomorrow" explores different approaches to reinventing domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home.

But this relentless connection leads to a new solitude. We turn to new technology to fill the void, but as MIT technology and society specialist Sherry Turkle argues, as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Even the presence of sociable robots in our lives that pretend to demonstrate empathy makes us feel more isolated, as Turkle explains in a new introduction updating the book to the present day. ''Alone Together'' is the result of Turkle's nearly fifteen-year exploration of our lives on the digital terrain.
