Résumé:
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first man on the moon, this book for the first time ever looks at the artifacts left behind on the moon from the perspective of architecture. The book looks at every single mission – manned and unmanned – that has actually landed on the moon. It covers the time of the beginning of the Soviet and American space race with the landing of Luna 2 in 1959, to the present with China’s Chang’e 3 moon rover. This architectural guide differentiates itself from other scientific and educational books through its abstract approach to the topic of architecture on the moon. The content does not feature science fiction, but rather the question of what exists and what implications these bizarre structures hold for the future of architecture on other planets – as these topics are quite pertinent in today’s world of the commercialization of spaceflight, with SpaceX and NASA planning to take humans to Mars in the next 15 years.

Résumé:
Tomi Ungerer, illustrator of Jeff Brown's original Flat Stanley and winner of the prestigious 1998 Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator Award, paints the man in the moon as a benevolent, soft-bodied man who curls up in "his shimmering seat in space." Most evenings, he looks over longingly at the happy, dancing earth people, until one night when he can't resist catching the fiery tail of a comet and hitching a ride to Earth. Ungerer, ever satirical, reports the resulting frenzy of authorities upon hearing the crash landing: "The noise brought hundreds of people from a nearby town. Soldiers sped to defend the earth. Firemen hastened to quench the flaming light. The ice cream man hurried to set up his stand for the spectators." Of course, when the crowd discovers the unidentified fallen object, "statesmen, scientists, and generals panicked." Moon Man is thrown in jail, facing criminal investigation! How will he ever return to his lunar dwelling? Kids will love this quirky "there's no place like home" tale, and Ungerer's gentle, funny mocking of "important people" won't be lost on anyone. (Ages 4 to 8)

Beatriz Banha: Midday moon
$50.00
(disponible en magasin)
Résumé:
Much like the moon, which does not cast its own light but reflects the sun’s, the photographs in ''Midday Moon'' appear to represent the world, but are, in fact, an echo of Beatriz Banha’s particular universe. This is a world seen askew: hands mid-gesture, textures half-revealed, objects both tactile and out of place. Banha’s presence is constant but never central.(...)

Résumé:
Much like the moon, which does not cast its own light but reflects the sun’s, the photographs in ''Midday Moon'' appear to represent the world, but are, in fact, an echo of Beatriz Banha’s particular universe. This is a world seen askew: hands mid-gesture, textures half-revealed, objects both tactile and out of place. Banha’s presence is constant but never central. She operates just outside the frame, like a satellite held in orbit. The places that formed her, the house she grew up in, territories in and around Évora, everyday scenes and familiar spaces — are all touched by something unfamiliar: the agency of photography. Flash brings surfaces into sharp relief while casting doubt on their meaning. Obstacles impair our recognition of figures in portraits. Lush still-lives appear gift-wrapped in plastic bags. The scenes appear real enough, yet they feel slightly detached, as if lit by an otherworldly source. ''Midday Moon'' might be a study in perception. A kind of lunary where the moon is rarely seen, but rather what it lights up: a world estranged from itself. An elusive account, equally distanced and affectionate, of the relationship between the real world and Banha’s own, in which photography acts as our interpreter.
