Limited edition . 1500 copies As a model maker Gilian Schrofer must not only take into account the scale and the size of the model, but also the amount of work involved, the desire for details – or lack thereof, and the balance between the physical realisation of a design versus the level of abstraction. Schrofer's dedication to this level of complexity in the realisation of his scale models has brought him a growing group of clients from different creative areas. Here 93 of his models produced between 2003 and the present are documented in full colour, accompanied by production details and an essay.

Résumé:
Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise. Economic, academic, and activist stakeholders are increasingly focused on the unsettling potential of ice as they plan for a future shaped by rapid transformation. Yet, in "Ice geographies," Jen Rose Smith demonstrates that ice has always been at the center of making sense of the world. Ice as homeland is often at the heart of Arctic and sub-Arctic ontologies, cosmologies, and Native politics. Reflections on ice have also long been a constitutive element of Western political thought, but it often privileges a pristine or empty "nature" stripped of power relations. Smith centers ice to study race and indigeneity by investigating ice relations as sites and sources of analysis that are bound up with colonial and racial formations as well as ice geographies beyond those formations. Smith asks, How is ice a racialized geography and imaginary, and how does it also exceed those frameworks?

Résumé:
Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth, but humans are also weathering: evolving and changing as we're transformed by the shifting climates of our lives and experiences. So, what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience(...)

Résumé:
Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth, but humans are also weathering: evolving and changing as we're transformed by the shifting climates of our lives and experiences. So, what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience and change? In a stunning exploration of our own connection to these enduring forms, outdoor psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen takes us on a journey through deep time and ancient landscapes, showing how geology - which has formed the bedrock of her own adult life and approach to therapy - can offer us a new way of thinking about our own grief, change and boundaries.

Résumé:
In our busy, noisy world, we may find ourselves longing for silence. But what is silence exactly? Is it the total absence of sound? Or is it the absence of the sound created by humans – the kind of deep stillness you might experience in a remote mountain landscape covered in snow, far away from the bustle of human life? When we listen closely, silence reveals a neglected reality. Neither empty nor singular, silence is instead plentiful and multiple. In this book, eco-acoustic historian Jérôme Sueur allows us to discover a vast landscape of silences which trigger the full gamut of our emotions: anxiety, awe and peace. He takes us from vistas resplendent with full and rich natural silences to the everyday silence of predators as they stalk their prey. To explore silences in animal behaviour and ecology is to discover a counterpoint to the acoustic diversity of the natural world, throwing into sharp relief the grating reverberations of the human activity which threatens it. It is to attune ourselves to a world that our human insensitivities have closed off to us, to take a moment simply to breathe and listen to the place of silence in nature.

Résumé:
Qu'est-ce que le silence ? Est-ce vraiment l'absence de tout ? En écoutant bien, le silence n'est peut-être pas celui que l'on croit. Il n'est ni vide ni singulier, mais plein et pluriel. On découvre les grands silences, peut-être inquiétants, des vastes horizons, les silences naturels qui sonnent tout sauf creux, les silences quotidiens dans l'attaque des prédateurs, la discrétion des proies ou les soupirs des enlacements. Aller chercher les silences dans l'évolution, le comportement animal et l'écologie, c'est aussi découvrir en contrepoint la diversité sonore étoilée du monde sauvage et dénoncer les bruits, ces horribles grincements de nos agitations, qui les menacent. Et si on respirait quelques instants pour écouter le silence et son histoire naturelle ?
