Résumé:
The ethics of sightseeing identifies and overcomes common obstacles to ethical sightseeing. Through a combination of personal observation and in-depth scholarship, MacCannell ventures into specific tourist destinations and attractions: "picturesque" rural and natural landscapes, "hip" urban scenes, historic locations of tragic events, Disney theme parks, beaches, and travel poster ideals. Demonstrating each act of sightseeing as an ethical test, the book shows how tourists can realize the productive potential of their travel desires, penetrate the collective unconscious, and gain character, insight, and connection to the world.

Produites entre 1908 et 1913 pour la plupart d'entres elles, ces cartes tant par leur imaginaire fantastique que par leur haute technicité méritent largement d'entrer dans l'histoire de la photographie. Les tall-tale postcards, car tel est leur nom, sont aussi de précieux documents de la "folk culture" du Middle West américain; un monde strictement rural où l'exagération inspire bien des légendes.

Résumé:
European emigré's have been changing the face of modern American architecture for decades. Winka Dubbeldam surely belongs to that long list of distinguished practitioners. Working across scales-from a New York skyscraper to a rural house-the Dutch-born architect has established herself as one of the most provocative figures in the field by seamlessly integrating function and form, technology and comfort, city and home. Folded glass facades, intelligent building cores, and interactive environments highlight the work of her progressive, process-based studio/laboratory, Archi-Tectonics.

Résumé:
Deux maisons et des bureaux sont construits sur un même terrain dans un environnement rural. Bernard Quirot et ses partenaires font du site un laboratoire reconstituant des histoires de l'habitation – l'habitat sur pilotis, l'habitat souterrain – mêlant des figures archaïques à des propositions avant-gardistes (les maisons du bush australien dessinées par l'architecte Glenn Murcutt ou la figure du bunker explorée par Claude Parent et Paul Virilio). Les trois réalisations interrogent trois matériaux et leur mise en œuvre dans une optique locale du « régionalisme critique » définit par les critiques Alexandre Tzonis et Kenneth Frampton.

Résumé:
This book accompanies and exhibition of the work of Vancouver artist, Scott McFarland, whose photographs are highlighted by meticulous staging that document a discrete range of subjects in serial format. The exhibition at the Contemporary Art Gallery concentrated on one of his ongoing projects : a large body of photographs detailing the interior and exterior of a rural cabin on BC’s Sunshine Coast. McFarland’s naturalistic staging and close cropping emphasized and valorized objects and personal artefacts accumulating within the cabin, and stress an ongoing relationship between the site and its depiction.

Résumé:
Are cancer rates higher or lower in rural communities? How can you know how much money to sock away for retirement when you don't know when you'll die? And where exactly did nineteenth-century novelists get their ideas? These are some of the fascinating questions Wainer invites readers to consider. Along the way he traces the origins and development of graphical display, from William Playfair, who pioneered the use of graphs in the eighteenth century, to instances today where the public has been misled through poorly designed graphs.

Résumé:
Stan Allen is an architect and educator who has won global acclaim, primarily for his work in town planning and his influential 1996 essay ''Field Conditions.'' His new book ''Situated Objects'' shows a unique facet of his creative process: a selection of small buildings and projects on rural sites, most of them situated within the landscape of the Hudson Valley, New York. They demonstrate an approach to architecture that engages in a dialogue with this partly wild and wholly non-urban environment that lies just outside the gates of New York City.
