The organic world, to Solnit, gives rise to the social, political, and philosophical landscapes we inhabit. In these nineteen quirky, smart, and wryly humorous pieces, Solnit ranges across disciplines to explore nuclear test sites, deserts, clouds, caves, and the meaning of national borders - as weel as ideas of the feminine and the sublime as they relate to our physical and psychological terrains.

Résumé:
Diplomatic Tours in the Gardens of Versailles Under Louis XIV is the first book to examine how the vast gardens of Versailles were used for these diplomatic receptions during the reign of the Sun King (1661-1715). The gardens were the final mise en scène of an elaborate ritual, which included the housing of the foreigners in Paris, their journey to Versailles, and their official audience with the king in the palace. A showcase for the achievements of royal artists, landscape architects, and hydraulic engineers, the gardens were soon regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world, proclaiming the wealth, power, and artistic taste of France and the French monarchy.

Résumé:
Les jardins sont des lieux de respiration et de beauté qui ont de tout temps réhaussé l'éclat des civilisations. L'eau, source de vie, constitue l'un de leurs ornements majeurs. Retracer l'histoire de l'eau dans les jardins, du monde antique jusqu'aux plus récents, c'est à dire les situer dans l'histoire des mentalités, des sciences et des techniques, et suivre un parcours qui mène à un bon usage de l'eau. Dans les jardins anciens, les effets produits par des fontaines, par des jets d'eau ou simplement par un ruisseau ou un étang sont nés de rencontres parfois miraculeuses entre une certaine conception du bonheur et une image de la nature où convergent toutes les connaissances d'une époque. Aujourd'hui, les jardins contemporains utilisent toutes les possibilités de la technologie : l'eau fuse ou se faufile, elle apporte partout le mouvement et la lumière grâce à des jets d'eau informatisés, à des cascades recyclées ou à des brumisateurs. A une époque ou nous nous occupons de la gestion durable des ressources naturelles, cette technologie permet de conserver l'agrément des jardins et de tirer les plus beaux effets de l'eau tout en la préservant.

Résumé:
When Richard Reynolds began planting flowers secretly at night outside his tower block in South London, he had no idea that he was part of a growing global movement committed to combating the forces of neglect, land shortage and apathy towards public spaces. But before long, his blog had attracted other guerrillas from around the world to share their experiences of the horticultural frontline, and is now a focal point for guerrilla gardeners everywhere, with over 4,000 people enlisted as recruits. "On Guerrilla Gardening" is Reynolds' lively, colourful treatise on why people illicitly cultivate land and how to do it yourself. From discreetly beautifying corners of Montreal to striving for green communal space in Berlin and sustainable food production in San Francisco, from Christmas trees on London roundabouts to the political agitations of landless workers in Brazil, Reynolds charts a battle that people worldwide are fighting on many different fronts. Along the way he unearths the movement's notable historic advances by seventeenth-century English radicals, a nineteenth-century American entrepreneur and public-spirited artists in 1970s New York. Reynolds has researched the subject with guerrilla gardeners from thirty different countries, and compiles their advice on what to grow where, how to cope with adverse environmental conditions, how to seed-bomb effectively, how to harness propaganda to win support and even how to handle anti-terror police. "On Guerrilla Gardening" informs, entertains and inspires. Packed with photographs, anecdotes and sound horticultural advice, it is an irresistible invitation to shoulder your shovel and join the revolution that is blooming in the world's shared spaces.

Résumé:
Artistic representations of landscape are studies in a half-dozen disciplines (art history, geography, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology), and there is no master narrative or historiographic genealogy to frame interpretations. Geographers are interested in political formations (and geography, as a discipline, is increasingly non-visual). Art historians have written extensively on landscape, but there have not been any recent synthetic attemps or theoretical overviews. At the same time, painters, and other artists often feel they 'possess' the landscape of the region in which they live; that ownership takes place at a non-verbal level, and seems incommensurate with the discourses of art history or geography. Landscape Theory, volume 6 in The Art Seminar series, is the first book to bring together different disciplines and practices, in order to understand how best to conceptualize landscape in art.

Résumé:
La visibilité extrême et la mode actuelle du paysage ne cachent-elles pas quelque chose d'autre? Quel est le coût réel du paysage et qu'en est-il de son négatif oublié ou bien refoulé? Toute forme de surexposition culturelle renvoie nécessairement à un pôle occulté et à un manque. Il incombe dès lors de regarder à travers la forêt de représentations mentales et médiatiques et de poser des questions de fond sur le paysage même - qu'est-ce qui se présente aujourd'hui en tant que paysage? - et sur le contexte plus général de son succès, à savoir : qu'est-ce que le paysage a su déplacer pour s'imposer de la sorte à l'échelle globale?
