Avec poésie et douceur, Carasco nous initie à l'art du cyanotype, procédé alternatif de photographie qui transforme les végétaux en de magnifiques tableaux bleu de Prusse. Entre errances contemplatives, cueillettes joyeuses, chimie et alchimie, ce livre nous invite à participer à une expérience artistique unique dans laquelle le temps est suspendu, le soleil complice, et l'eau magicienne. En explorant la technique du cyanotype, vous apprendrez à écouter la nature, à respecter ce qui vous entoure, à jouer avec les éléments au fil des saisons et à maintenir ainsi un lien fort et puissant avec le vivant.

Résumé:
In 1856, the English photographer Francis Frith set out on the first of three tours of Egypt and the Holy Lands. Traveling up the Nile and then on to the Sinai, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, Frith systematically crafted exquisite pictures of ruins, landscapes, and legendary sites. He then published his views in England and America in a variety of formats, becoming something of a celebrity in photographic circles. This book, the first to place Frith's Egyptian and Levantine images in cultural context, reveals the distinct meanings these ostensibly "topographic" pictures held for the photographer and his Victorian audience. A Quaker by birth and an entrepreneur by nature, Frith brought to his photographic projects a sense of mission: to revive and confirm the stories of the Bible, while offering the region to armchair travelers as a seamless Oriental milieu of Romantic reverie. Francis Frith in Egypt and Palestine narrates the political, intellectual, and social concerns that make Frith representative of England's encounter with the East in the nineteenth century. Historian of photography Douglas R. Nickel brings a sophisticated interdisciplinary approach to bear on the subject in order to expose the complexity of Frith's image-making, setting the photographs against a Victorian backdrop of religious debate, imperialist thought, Romantic philosophy, and Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics.

Résumé:
Alors que les quantités mondiales de pétrole consommées sont de plus en plus importantes, celles qui sont découvertes le sont de moins en moins: actuellement, nous découvrons chaque année deux à trois fois moins de pétrole que nous en consommons. Cette tendance ne peut se prolonger indéfiniment... Et si le pétrole a déjà connu plusieurs crises, il semble que celle qui nous attend soit d'une ampleur inédite et arrive bien plus tôt que nous ne l'imaginons généralement... Comment la situation peut-elle évoluer? Quand risquons-nous d'être confrontés à une pénurie? Qu'est-ce que le pic de production du pétrole? Et surtout, comment et avec quelles énergies alternatives appréhender, anticiper et vivre cet "après-pétrole"? Voici les questions auxquelles La vie après le pétrole tente de répondre de manière didactique et accessible grâce notamment à des graphiques, des tableaux commentés et des encadrés.

Résumé:
In 1935, well into the era of Soviet communism, Russian satirical writers Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov came to the U.S as special correspondents for the Russian newspaper Pravda. They drove crosscountry and back on a ten-week trip, recording images of American life through humerous texts and the lens of a Leica camera. When they returned home, they published their work in Ogonek, the Soviet equivalent of Time magazine, and later in the book Odnoetazhnaia Amerika (Single-Storied America). This wonderful lost work—filled with wry observations, biting opinions, and telling photographs—is now collected in "Ilf and Petrov's American road trip", the first English translation.
