He reveals the vast abundance of minerals, trace elements, proteins, vitamins, dietary fiber, and precious polyunsaturated fatty acids found in seaweeds, and provides instructions and recipes on how to prepare a variety of dishes that incorporate raw and processed seaweeds. Approaching the subject from not only a gastronomic but also a scientific point of view, Mouritsen sets out to examine the past and present uses of this sustainable resource, keeping in mind how it could be exploited for the future.

Résumé:
This follow-up to Kate Nesbitt's best-selling anthology Theorizing a New Agenda collects twenty-eight essays that address architecture theory from the mid-1990s, where Nesbitt left off, through the present. Kristin Sykes offers an overview of the myriad approaches and attitudes adopted by architects and architectural theorists during this era. Multiple themes—including the impact of digital technologies on processes of architectural design, production, materiality, and representation; the implications of globalization and networks of information; the growing emphasis on sustainable and green architecture; and the phenomenon of the "starchitect" and iconic architecture—appear against a background colored by architectural theory, as it existed from the 1960s on, in a period of transition (if not crisis) that centers around the perceived abyss between theory and practice. Theory's transitional state persists today, rendering its immediate history particularly relevant to contemporary thought and practice.

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.

Long before Franz Kafka described the nightmarish metaphysics of office bureaucracy, Balzac had undertaken his own exploration of the dust-laden, stifling environment of the paper-pusher in all of his roles and guises.

"Bureaucracy," as he defined it: "a gigantic power set in motion by dwarfs." In this guidebook, published for mass consumption in 1841, Balzac's classic theme of melodramatic ambition plays itself out within the confined, unbreathable space of the proto-cubicle, filtered through the restricted scale of the pocket handbook. Translated by André Naffis-Sahely.

Résumé:
"Making Modernism Soviet " provides a new understanding of the ideological engagement of Russian modern artists such as Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko, and Vera Ermolaeva with the political and social agenda of the Bolsheviks in the chaotic years immediately following the Russian Revolution. Focusing on the relationship between power brokers and cultural institutions under conditions of state patronage, Pamela Kachurin lays to rest the myth of the imposition of control from above upon a victimized artistic community. Drawing on extensive archival research, she shows that Russian modernists used their positions within the expanding Soviet arts bureaucracy to build up networks of like-minded colleagues. Their commitment to one another and to the task of creating a socially transformative visual language for the new Soviet context allowed them to produce some of their most famous works of art. But it also contributed to the "Sovietization" of the art world that eventually sealed their fate.
