Résumé:
The work of Japanese architect Toyo Ito explores the dynamic relationship between buildings and their environments. His principal focus is on developing an architecture free of the grid system, which he believes homogenizes people and their lives. Toyo Ito: Forces of Nature documents the architects 2009 Kassler lecture at the Princeton University School of Architecture. Told primarily in Ito's own voice, the book features the edited lecture transcript, as well as an interview with the architect by Julian Worrall and a new translation of Ito's 1980 essay The Projection of the Profane World onto the Sacred. Projects illustrated in the book include: Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (unbuilt), Taichung Opera House, Tama Art University Library, and Kakamigahara Crematorium. Bringing together different strands of a long and fruitful career, Toyo Ito: Forces of Nature concludes with an afterword by Ito that addresses the exhibition Home for All, a response to Japans earthquake and tsunami disasters in March 2011.

Résumé:
As major actors in the unfolding drama of climate change, glaciers feature prominently in Earth’s past and its future. Wherever on the planet we live, glaciers affect each of us directly. They control the atmospheric and ocean circulations that drive the weather; they supply drinking and irrigation water to millions of people; and they protect us from catastrophic sea-level rise. The very existence of glaciers affects our view of the planet and of ourselves, but it is less than two hundred years since we first realized that ice ages come and go and that glaciers once covered much more of the planet’s surface than they do now. An inspiration to artists and a challenge for engineers, glaciers mean different things to different people. Crossing the boundaries between art, environment, science, nature, and culture, this book considers glaciers from myriad perspectives, revealing their complexity, majesty, and importance—but also their fragility.

Résumé:
Reconnus comme des figures majeures de l'écomarxisme, John Bellamy Foster et Brett Clark explorent les œuvres de Marx et Engels afin d'élaborer une écologie politique matérialiste et dialectique. Cette approche originale alliant l’histoire, l'économie, la science et la politique déploie la question environnementale dans toute sa variété allant de l’agriculture à la maltraitance animale, en passant par l’alimentation et l'éco-impérialiùsme. Leur critique vise non seulement le néolibéralisme mais aussi l'écologie réformiste qui s’accommode également de l’ordre capitaliste bourgeois. Dévoilant le lien entre dégradation écologique et domination sociale ils posent les bases d’une lutte révolutionnaire où l'émancipation implique la fin d’une double exploitation: celle des êtres humains et de la nature.
