Résumé:
Edward Burtynsky's Oil collects a decades' worth of photographing the world's largest oil fields, refineries, freeway interchanges and automobile plants, in an attempt to comprehend the scale of production attending this most politicized of resources. The ideal photographer for this job, Burtynsky locates and documents the sites that urban dwellers never see, and questions human accountability. His imagery is vast in both scale and ambition, revealing the apparatus behind the energy we mine from dwindling resources, and the ongoing effects of the industrial revolution.

Ed Ruscha's Los Angeles
$51.50
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
Ed Ruscha was born in Nebraska and raised in Oklahoma, but he belongs to Los Angeles in a way few other artists do. Since the 1960s, Ruscha's iconic images of the cityscape and culture of L.A.—freeway gas stations, parking lots, palm trees, motels, swimming pools, and billboards—have both reflected and shaped popular perceptions of Hollywood and the city that surrounds(...)

Since the 1960s, Ruscha's iconic images of the cityscape and culture of L.A.—freeway gas stations, parking lots, palm trees, motels, swimming pools, and billboards—have both reflected and shaped popular perceptions of Hollywood and the city that surrounds it. In Ed Ruscha's Los Angeles, Alexandra Schwartz views Ruscha's groundbreaking early work as a window onto the radically shifting cultural and political landscape in which it was produced.

Without a complex network of subways and buses providing access to points of interest throughout the city, visitors to L.A. and Angelenos alike must spend much of their time navigating the city's vast but often-frustrating freeway system, away from the(...)

Résumé:
The denitive L.A. experience may include a shopping spree or a celebrity sighting, but it will certainly involve a car. Without a complex network of subways and buses providing access to points of interest throughout the city, visitors to L.A. and Angelenos alike must spend much of their time navigating the city's vast but often-frustrating freeway system, away from the ground and the most endearing aspects of the city. "Cruising L.A.", a driver's companion guidebook to Los Angeles, features an expertly guided seven-day driving route through L.A.'s most scenic neighborhoods, exploring their cultural and architectural features.

Small, gritty and green : the promise of America's smaller industrial cities in a low-carbon world
$31.95
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
America's once-vibrant small-to-midsize cities -Syracuse, Worcester, Akron, Flint, Rockford, and others - increasingly resemble urban wastelands. Gutted by deindustrialization, outsourcing, and middle-class flight, disproportionately devastated by metro freeway systems that laid waste to the urban fabric and displaced the working poor, and struggling with pockets of(...)

Résumé:
America's once-vibrant small-to-midsize cities -Syracuse, Worcester, Akron, Flint, Rockford, and others - increasingly resemble urban wastelands. Gutted by deindustrialization, outsourcing, and middle-class flight, disproportionately devastated by metro freeway systems that laid waste to the urban fabric and displaced the working poor, and struggling with pockets of poverty reminiscent of postcolonial squalor, small industrial cities - as a class - have become invisible to a public distracted by the Wall Street (big city) versus Main Street (small town) match up. These cities would seem to be part of America's past, not its future. And yet, journalist and historian Catherine Tumber argues in this provocative book, America's gritty Rust Belt cities could play a central role in a greener, low-carbon, relocalized future.

Résumé:
This book explores the experience of driving cars as a way of encountering landscapes and cities around the world. A richly illustrated cultural history, drawing on social and urban history, art, literature and music, Drive explores in particular how car driving is portrayed in cinema and other moving images, from America to Europe and Asia, and from Hollywood to the avant-garde. Drive is about dynamic journeys, experiences and speeds, rooted in specific places and roads, and expanded into the realm of cinema, art and video games. It moves from the gentle deserts of The Grapes of Wrath to the adventurous city streets of The Italian Job, from the aesthetic delights of Rain Man and Traffic to the existential musings of Two-Lane Blacktop, Thelma and Louise and Vanishing Point, from the contemplative freeway pleasures of Lift to the Scaffold, Radio On and London Orbital to the hallucinatory high-speed dangers of Crash, Bullitt, Death Proof and C’était un Rendezvous. It shows how various kinds of driving – with different speeds, cars, attitudes, roads and cities – provide experiences and values that we ignore at our peril.
