Résumé:
This fascinating study traces the history of San Francisco's park system, from the earliest city plans, which made no provision for a public park, through the private garden movement of the 1850s and 1860s, Frederick Law Olmsted's early involvement in developing a comprehensive parks plan, the design and construction of Golden Gate Park, and, finally, to the expansion of green space in the first third of the twentieth century. Terence Young documents this history and maps, the political, cultural, and social dimensions of landscape design in urban America, offering new insights into the transformation of San Francisco's physical environment and quality of life through its world-famous park system.

Using facts, anecdotes, and personal observation, architect and longtime advocate for the preservation of American architecture Harvey H.

Résumé:
This book is an historical investigation of mourning sites and practices within the context of the province of British Columbia. The authors are concerned, primarily, with the rise of the roadside death memorial in the late twentieth century. They argue that RDMs are not a marginal, quirky phenomenon but part of a longer and complex story about the meaning of both death and grieving, one more thread in a long tapestry of public exhibitions of grief that serve to announce to the watching world who we are.

Résumé:
Alors que l’affaire Dreyfus bat son plein, César Ritz est sur le point d’ouvrir les portes de son nouveau palace parisien, dont les cuisines ont été confiées au grand chef Auguste Escoffier. Quel n’est donc pas le choc ressenti lorsque, à quelques jours de l’inauguration, le cadavre d’une jeune femme est retrouvé pendu dans une chambre froide du Ritz. Pour ne pas ébruiter l’affaire, l’enquête est confiée au filleul d’Auguste Escoffier, Quentin Savoisy, jeune journaliste gastronomique au Pot-au-Feu. Epaulé par sa fiancée aristocrate et féministe de la première heure, Quentin est loin d’imaginer qui se cache derrière ce terrible meurtre. Michèle Barrière, la reine du polar «historico-gastronomique», signe ici une intrigue captivante de la saga Savoisy, où la grande Histoire se mêle avec brio aux mets les plus fins de l’hôtellerie de luxe.
