Résumé:
Over the course of the 20th century many of the best garden designers have looked to the past for inspiration; with the approach of the millennium, however, a fresh approach to garden design - minimalism - has moved to the forefront. The philosophy of minimalism, rooted simultaneously in classicism and modernism, has had a strong influence on architecture and interior and graphic design, as well as landscape. Minimalist gardens, with their emphasis on clean lines, pure form, and a strong sense of place, are closely related to contemporary architecture and lifestyles. New trends in more relaxed and ecologically aware planting have contributed greatly to the development of such green spaces, and the creative use of trees and hedges to define and control space is often an important design element. In this volume, award-winning garden designer Christopher Bradley-Hole has drawn together a great variety of minimalist gardens from around the world - large and small, urban and rural. The projects are grouped into thematic chapters, including the landscape garden, pools and water gardens, courtyard gardens, and terrace and roof gardens. Among the designers are Vladimir Sitta, John Pawson, Luis Barragán, Seth Stein, Jacques Wirtz, Martha Schwartz, Shodo Suzuki, and Isamu Noguchi. Large color photographs and detailed images show the gardens in context; the text discusses the inspiration behind each garden, the relationship of space and proportions, and the frequent use of unusual materials and imaginative planning. Directories of materials and plants for the perfect minimalist garden are included as well.

Résumé:
The United States Department of Agriculture Pomological Watercolor Collection encompasses 7,497 botanical watercolor paintings of evolving fruit and nut varieties, alongside specimens introduced by USDA plant explorers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Assembled between 1886 and 1942, the collection's remarkable, botanically accurate watercolors were executed by some 21 professional artists (including nine women). Authored largely before the widespread application of photography, the watercolors were intended to aid accurate identification and examination of fruit varietals, for the nation’s fruit growers. Documenting the transformation of American pomology, the science of fruit breeding and production, and the horticultural innovations accountable for contemporary fruit cultivation and consumption, the USDA’s collection offers fascinating anthropological and horticultural insights concerning the fruits we ecstatically devour, and why.

Résumé:
Fille de paysans français, Marie-Thérèse Thévard (que tout le monde appelle affectueusement Marie-Thé), a grandi au cœur du terroir loirétain dans les années 1960. Ses parents, vignerons et agriculteurs, vivaient des produits de leur ferme diversifiée. Le train des animaux (vaches, lapins, volaille), la plantation, la récolte, le sarclage, l’accueil des clients, la transformation alimentaire, la préparation des repas était leur lot quotidien. Sa rencontre avec un Québécois l’amènera finalement à s’établir au Saguenay en 1988, dans le nord du Québec, où elle habite et cultive depuis un terrains dans un écohameau et y expérimente un mode de vie écologique. Marie-Thé fait partie de ces personnes qui cherchent à agir au quotidien selon leurs convictions, et pour elle, cela passe d’abord par maximiser l’autosuffisance alimentaire. Ses recherches, appliquées et en processus continu, sont axées sur un mode de vie écologique, c’est-à-dire axé sur l’indépendance face aux énergies fossiles, la résilience, l’alimentation saine, la permaculture, l’agroécologie et la vie en communauté. C’est le récit de ses pratiques et convictions que rassemble « Le jardin-vivrier », véritable bible pour quiconque souhaite poser les premiers jalons de l’autosuffisance alimentaire.

Résumé:
This publication tells the story of the garden as a rich source of inspiration. Over the centuries artists, writers, poets, and thinkers have each described, depicted, and designed the garden in different ways. In medieval art, the garden was a reflection of paradise, a place of harmony and fertility, shielded from worldly problems. In the eighteenth century this image tilted: the garden became a symbol of worldly powers and politics. The Anthropocene is forcing us to radically rethink the role we have given nature in recent decades. Through essays and an extensive abecedarium this book reflects on the garden as a metaphor for society.

Résumé:
Parks are essential to our well-being; this has never been clearer than it is today, and a recent surge of park development offers us much to celebrate. "Parks of the 21st century" presents 52 parks in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Europe, and China that have turned despoiled and polluted land (including former factories, railroads, and industrial waterfronts) into beneficial landscapes. Landscape architects have been referred to as "the first environmentalists," and "Parks of the 21st century" shows how parks are being designed as proactive, dynamic green spaces. The High Line in New York is an early example of how an obsolete railroad could be transformed. Opened in 2009, it now attracts nearly 8 million visitors a year. In addition to providing public open space, these renewed landscapes offer economic revitalization and large-scale environmental improvement. Among the parks featured in this book are designs by well-known professionals such as James Corner Field Operations, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Kongjian Yu/Turenscape, and Catherine Mosbach.
