Résumé:
Written by a mathematician, a poet and a mathematician-poet, this 1969 guide to the ancient Japanese game of Go was not only the first such guide to be published in France (and thereby introduced the centuries-old game of strategy into that country) but something of a subtle Oulipian guidebook to writing strategies and tactics. Translated for the first time, this treatise outlines the history of Go, the rules for playing it, some central tactics and strategies for playing it and overcoming the threats posed by an opponent, general information and trivia, and a glossary that ranges from Atari (check) to Yose (the end of a match).

Résumé:
Science fiction has historically been seen as a masculine domain, but from the very beginning women have made their mark. To the ranks of Mary Shelley and C. L. Moore, we should add Clare Winger Harris, whose pulp stories in the early twentieth century influenced the boom of modern writers such as Ursula K. Le Guin and Margaret Atwood. In this new collection, author and scholar Brad Ricca assembles ten of Harris's greatest short stories, including "The Fifth Dimension," "The Fate of the Poseidonia," "The Menace of Mars," and "The Vibrometer."

En 1945, Le Corbusier invente une notion architecturale : Le Modulor, silhouette humaine standardisée servant à concevoir la structure et la taille des unités d’habitation dessinées par l’architecte. Plusieurs habitations furent conçues sur ce mode, comme La Cité radieuse à Marseille, ou La Maison radieuse de Rezé, près de Nantes. Parmi elles, l’Unité d’habitation de Firminy-Vert, près de Saint-Etienne. Le Corbusier décédé avant de faire aboutir ce projet, la piscine prévue pour l’Unité d’habitation de Firminy- Vert est finalement pensée et construite entre 1969 et 1971 par André Wogenscky, sur les mesures du Modulor. Cette piscine est le cadre de L’Odeur de chlore. "L’Odeur de chlore" est le récit d’une femme dont le corps grandit et évolue, année après année, dans cette piscine qu’elle fréquente assidûment et élaborée selon les standards de « l’homme parfait », Le Modulor.

Résumé:
In her debut collection of short stories, ''Islands of decolonial love,'' renowned writer and activist Leanne Simpson vividly explores the lives of contemporary Indigenous Peoples and communities, especially those of her own Nishnaabeg nation. Found on reserves, in cities and small towns, in bars and curling rinks, canoes and community centres, doctors offices and pickup trucks, Simpson's characters confront the often heartbreaking challenge of pairing the desire to live loving and observant lives with a constant struggle to simply survive the historical and ongoing injustices of racism and colonialism. Told with voices that are rarely recorded but need to be heard, and incorporating the language and history of her people, Leanne Simpson's ''Islands of decolonial love'' is a profound, important, and beautiful book of fiction.
